    Some Model 70 issues

    Good write up. The mag box needs a little room to wiggle or it will bind with the receiver. Standard Mauser/M70 stuff. Why don’t they use longer screws? And finally I guess I understand that the MOA trigger must be cheaper for them to make. The old trigger was perfect. Another silly change. Just...

    The saga of the Rhodesian Shotgun

    The actions of the Rhodesian SAS and men like Darrell Watt were truly epic. If only the truth would have been told, that area would be a much different place today. I am really enjoying the information here. Thanks for compiling it.

    1 MOA accuracy less common than you think ?

    There are few that will walk up cold to an outdoor range with their tack drivers and put the first 5 rounds IN the 1 MOA bull at 100 as shown. I know most everyone on the Internet can but in real life, no, which was portrayed accurately on the video. If we wanted to reach deeper, most of the...

    375 Ruger conversion to 416 Ruger

    I’d be surprised if there isn’t a flat top that can be inletted LH.

    9.3x64 Brenneke

    You will have to open the bolt face for a X64. I would stick with the X62, or even simpler the 35 Whelen which is the N American version of the X62. I am the long term caretaker for a X64. I have some brass but not a surplus. It’s a fine cartridge, however I wouldn’t do it personally.

    New custom rifle questions

    Fierce has a record of QC problems. There are 2 that I know of that went out the door without rifling in the barrel. My understanding is that the older Canadian ones are good to go, the new ones are built in Utah by some online influencer who is just as likely to tell you to pound sand as not if...

    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem Help

    ^This for sure. MIG is great in production fabrication. Fine work? Kinda clumsy. Silver solder works great too, lots of gunsmiths who can’t weld are successful using it. The guy clearly has something going on behind the curtain.

    Time to go long on CRF rifles?

    There’s one being tested on another forum. Real testing, not gun writer testing. MRC sent it out with some somewhat embarrassing problems that were corrected by the tester. Nothing was hidden from the public. They have been transparent during the process. I am firmly in their corner and wishing...
