I'm going through the same thing, I can't locate 32 brass or 30-30. I found some used dies on eBay. Bullets seem to be hard to find also. I have just completed mounting a side mount scope on an old model 94 winchester. I plan on giving it to a nephew, who's deceased father, my brother killed his...

When i raised beef in Wisconsin I had two fenders one just like the one shown with a blinking green light and a,weed burner. Both were nasty and my steers didn't like,them. On an antelope trip to wyoming near Shoshone I got a hold of an electric fence on BLM land that a high line had fell on...

Lands showing only on one side of the throat indicate .002 off center!

Certainly the moderately priced bore cameras (teslong) have caused a lot to worry when looking at mass produced factory bore condition. Somevarevscary looking to say the least. Seeing the copper catching machine marks gives a person a good idea of what a good bore should look like. Those bore...

Sometimes a whole lot of brass will become loose pockets at the same number of firings. Each firing leaking in some of the lot will cause this. Usually the worst culprits repeat themselves in leaking. I purchased a primer pocket go, no-go gauge to help cull the real loose ones. I also tried the...

The chamber reamer will/should cut everything in one pass! I bought an aftermarket barrel once with the same defect, no throat or lead angle cut. The manufacturer refused to repair it. I'm not sure how it happened but their threading process had failed and you could see evidence of a crash of...

I rebarreeld a late 80s 25-06 to a 6.5x55 Swede and later to a 6.5-06 recently I built a 6.5/257 Roberts Ackley 40° remake barrel for it. The 25-06 magazine works great with both the 6.5-06 and the roberts.

I think midway usa had a replacement for sale for a while. Also hard trigger may have a replacement also. Gun shack may have some savage parts like that too. If it were mine I may Try to silversolder ittogetherorbraze it. I wish savagewouldsell to individualsbecause the newer styleone has a...

I've had several carbon tough barrels like yours and I've found that scrubbing for copper first with a good copper remover and then tackling with ipso paste about 150 or 200 strokes with a brass brush wrapped with a patch usually knocks out most of the carbon. I follow up withkroil and patches...

On a side note; I bought some Hornady 708 box ammo for the brass and pulled it down. The powder wascidentical in appearance to H335 which is very similar to blc2 or win 748. The cahergeweight in the factory ammo corresponded to book velocity vs advertised velocity. It seems that in this case the...

Personally I would make my own tee handle and weld a piece of the correct size wrench to the stem.
