How does a US citizen ship an action to Canada? Jay, North Idaho

I know a shooter that turned the belts off of his .378 Wby brass so that he could use it in his 338-416 Rigby Imp. He never had to deal with the small "extra" belt that sometimes forms in front of the actual belt. The problem with belts arises from the extra depth in the chamber for the belt...

Brent, I really appreciated your "how-to" post and I'll print it for ref. Got to make one comment, though. Not to be a smartass but I'm a numbers person. The Rem thead is 1 1/16, not 1 1/8. Jay

NOT Bear, three friends now have "Bear" dogs. I've had a Plott named "Lucy", Labs, "Birch", "Ebony", "Jed". Buddy has "Ruger" the Rott. My last Lab came at 1 yr. with "Rillian" (name from a kid's book?). Buddy inherited a min-Dobey female that we all re-named "Pinyatta", the "Northern...

Email sent, want to purchase.

I think that a "sinker" EDM would be a good choice for cutting the cam surface on lug abutments. The problem now becomes machining the electrode but that would be simple on a 4th axis VMC. A friend has a VMC with 4th axis and is hinting that I need to buy an older ram (sinker) EDM. I think the...

Yes, several. What do you want, plastic, steel, alum, matte, beadblasted?
