    Having hell with my new 300win

    Bought a remmy 300wm long rang last year. Changed the stock and properly bedded into a carbon fibre stock. She would do around 1.5" groups with factory and left over loaded ammo. I don't have much time for bad barrels and was pricing up a re-barrel already but thought I will try to polish the...

    Epoxy in recoil lug

    It seems there is a bit of mixing up Remmy bedding process with T3 bedding process. edi

    Epoxy in recoil lug

    Epoxy can be revived by heating up the crystalized resin in say a tub of very hot water. Bit like gone hard honey. edi

    Epoxy in recoil lug

    The recoil lug on a T3 only sits about 2.5mm deep in the action. Not much room for error. There is no reason to not bed at least the front action screw surface while gluing the recoil lug in position. The way we do it is open the recoil lug hole so that the recoil lug would not touch any surface...

    Believe me it was a pain in the arse to fix that stock. We had started sanding it before we saw the damage. Pity no picture of the finished stock. edi

    Best Bedding Material

    The more I look at it, it looks likes a "let's roll the truck over it" job or heavy tumble down a hill. Pillars were in place. When we got the stock I didn't look at it and told one of our staff to sand it down prep for spray. When he put it on the work bench there was this funny duff sound to...

    This stock a local fella brought to us asking if we could give it a respray. I don't know which brand the stock is. He never mentioned and didn't seem bothered with the condition of the stock. I have no clue what happened to it however cracks all over right down the barrel channel as well as...

    Hand Lap Your Own Barrel?

    Wow I better hold back with the chat on here, The 12 Years of Engineering education on two continents including German mechanic trade helped with my know how in the lapping process, as well as 30 year toolmaking, moulding, and component manufacturing of which some needed a lapping process. Those...

    Hand Lap Your Own Barrel?

    The lapping process, choosing the right abrasive materials, carrier liquids and getting a feel for the process. The "know how" needed to optimise just as in lapping a barrel. edi

    Hand Lap Your Own Barrel?

    Agree, it would take a bit of time to learn the skill of lapping a barrel with say a lead slug. Less risk is using a patch with a fine polish which is more or less polishing away copper/carbon fouling as well as slight removal of uneven spots. One needs to limit the amount of material removal...

    Best Bedding Material

    It varies, for a hunting rifle we try to have the compound very tough. Load the resin hardener mix with say 1/3 carbon fibre 0.2mm, 1/3 aluminium powder, 1/3 Talc. This mix is easy to machine as well. Dry powders well before use. Aero grade laminating resin with at least 40 min pot life. If one...

    Best Bedding Material

    BFD, Firstly, who said I should help someone? I was merely pointing in a direction that is an alternative. We worked up our own formula be it right or wrong, anyone can do the same. Based on whatever theory one has. Composite fill materials are well known and there is a huge variety like...
