Do not peen over the muzzle crown! It MUST be absolutely square with the bore, clean, sharp and even. Anything less will degrade accuracy.

Alignment of the 4 D muzzle reamer is / was difficult to get accurately by hand. Apparently it is designed to be used in a lathe. Done by hand yielded a crown that was not square to the bore and poor accuracy even with extreme care used to assure alignment.. The Midway tool is easy to use and...

Sign; I just recently completed a resurrection of a 1906 Winchester .22 rifle. This included the drilling out of the barrel and installing a Brownell's .22 liner, among many other actions. The drilling out of the barrel, cleaning properly, epoxying the new liner etc were all fairly easy but...

Found a pistol mount for a 3/8" dovetail by searching for pistols that use a 3/8" dovetail. Note that most sites do not list dovetail dimensions but only those pistols their mount will fit. Turns out that a Springfield Armory compact 1911 has a 3/8" dovetail. Got a mount & it is now...

My old Winchester rifle has a rear sight dovetail cut measuring 3/8" across the bottom of the cut. I am looking for a mount for a Holosun red dot to fit in this dovetail. I cannot seem to find any rear sight charts with dovetails to match up with my rifle. Any wizards with knowledge of where I...

Fun Gun? FUN? This is a FUN gun: Winchester slide action .22 rimfire. Short, Long or Long rifle. Frequently used in carnival gallery shooting. Another design by John Moses Browning. This model of 1906 was made in 1919 and still is a great plinker and tin can perforator. Fun it is!

When I did the barrel of my 1906 Winchester, I used the original bulged and ringed barrel as a test mule with a new Brownells drill bit. This was done on a friends lath. We experienced with the first bulged barrel, the new sharp drill would dig in and jam even when the feed was very slow as we...

I've used the liquid Oxpho Blue with great results. Substrates were carefully degreased and heated to about 150 degrees. I applied it with a cotton ball or Q tips on small areas. As noted above, prep work, prep work and more prep work.

Bradley; I have a single line Dembart checkering tool with one spare cutter that I tried once with poor results. I'll ship it to you for the cost of shipping, about $10.00. Roger

The finishing touches are finally here. I installed a Marbles tang sight on the resurrected '06 Winchester. It now has new wood, a new re lined barrel, a few new parts and many hours of cleaning etc. The tang sight was purchased for it's aperture function with older eyes (helps to focus on front...

After over 50 years of reloading, competition and a lot of just plain plinking, the only CF primers I have had problems with are the ones from Argentina. Very hard to begin with and with about a 1/2 of one % ~ 1% true failure. As far as rimfire duds, very few and those with low cost ammo...

After trying many different brands of cold blue chemicals with generally poor results, I tried Brownell's Oxpho Blue. It is almost as good as a quality hot tank blue. I clean the metal using 600 wet / dry paper with some detergent in the water. This gives me a very nice clean and mostly...

MachIV; The original barrel of my rifle was both ringed and bulged. Ring was three inches in front of chamber, the bulge about a half inch past the ring. Thus the original barrel was beyond re-lining. I found a used barrel on ebay and re-lined it. I paid a professional to install and index the...

Here's some photos of the pistol:
