Target Video I have seen some relatively cheap B/W video camera at Sam's, Wal-Mart etc.. I wonder if these could be set up at the range and be used for spotting scopes for visuals on the target. I think the range on these are about 1-300 yds. would need to be protected somewhat from errant...

Looking for instructions for doing a trigger job - mine is about 8 pounds. Anyone done one before. Any help appreciated.

Looking for case dimensions for a 6 mm Ackley Improved. Got a Win M70 in the shop, had a barrel replacement - barrel was not stamped to indicate caliber. The chamber cast indicates it's in the 6mm/244 area and has an approx. 40 deg shoulder. Any help appreciated. :confused...

Has anyone put a BOSS system on a Browning BLR lighting?? Considering putting on my 7 mag.

Something that I have found to be of greata value are the Gunsmithing Kinks books from Brownells. There are 4 of them at present. As a gunsmith in a small area (not many people) I don't have a lot of people to ask questions about problems I have - most times a lot of my questions are found...

Had a chance to meet and attend classes with Reid Coffield, if he's doin an article on bolt guns, you can bet it is top notch - a really nice guy.

What I have is large ring mausers. I knew I could count on some experience among you - you have enlightened me. That's why I find these forums so useful - Thanks a lot More comments appreciated

I have 3 mauser actions and I want to make one a short action (for .243). I want to make this a project and would like a little advice before starting. Dimensions if anyone have them would be outstanding. Thanks in advance any help appreciated

Need Help on locating a scope mount for an M1 Garand and information on adjusting or replacing the front and rear sights Thanks

I agree - let those states start losing more jobs than they have already - and see how fast the anti-gun people get re elected. I have a 500 acre ranch in SE Okla that would make a large manufactorer proud to be on. There are even people down here that have the confederate flags on there trucks.

Kimber I have been thinking about buying a Kimber 45 - with all the talk and service problems I have decided to look elsewhere - not a glock - maybe a springfield. Surely by now the management would understand the problem and look into the service problem. A bad employee can ruin a business...

I have a Browning Short action 22-250 that is hard to extract.... The rifle got to be hard to open and close and after firing extremely hard to open. Took it apart and cleaned a burr from the bolt head and now it cycles nice, except when fired it is really hard to open. Doesn't appear to...

I agree with what Jim Keenan says: As a relative new gunsmith, I like to work on guns and sometimes I know I do not charge enough for the job (my wife really gives me heck about it too). My thinking (has been) is as a new gunsmith, I needed to be a little easy at first on my customers, just...

One of the hardest springs to resinstall I think is the return spring and plunger on a Winchester 190 auto. Anyone have any advice/tips/tricks for reinstalling this spring - any thing appreciated. Thanks
