A lot of people don’t know you can adjust how tight the patch is by stabbing the jag tip in off center of the patch. Centered will be tightest. If that’s too tight stab off center and patch will be looser in the bore. Just make sure there’s enough patch to cover jag body all around so the jag...
I stand corrected. Apparently only the BDL's switched to cut in early 70's. Of that I'm sure because I own several made throughout the 70's. Skipline checkering on BDL's started in 77 or 78.
I think it's more common than many would believe. I've seen all kinds of ways to fake p64 70's. They say there's more good condition pre 64's around now than in 64.
Perhaps the places I send to have FFL but it isn't required to show at UPS because to transfer of ownership? Dunno but had to verify this last year with one of the gunsmiths and was assured no FFL was needed for UPS.
So you members who have shipped back to manufacturer for warranty work, you...
Approach rare caliber M70's with caution. Folks have made counterfeit barrels using factory stamps. For this reason I focus on collecting common calibers.
That hasn't been my experience. I've never needed to provide FFL to UPS when shipping out guns to be worked on or refinished. I've been told by custom gunmakers FFL isn't required on their end because ownership isn't being transferred. Apparently UPS knows this too. Those gunsmiths are "in...
FFL isn't required to repair guns. Only when shipping for transfer of ownership. Sending to factory for warranty work or other repair shop requires no FFL.
I use a light aerosol like rem oil sprayed on liberally through holes in hand guards. Then blast off excess with compressed air. Using a light oil you won't have problems attracting grit and dust.
Several reasons for this the way I see it. We've become much more tactical and militant. And I believe there's a socioeconomic element at play. Many buying the cheaper stuff simply can't afford nicer. 60 years ago we owned fewer guns but of higher quality. It's become a more blue collar hobby imo.
I prefer 84m just because the short length matches the other smaller components of a Kimber action. 84l is a close second imo. I've owned 8400 s and they are the least desirable to me.
The steel insert was mentioned in the comment section of that article. It referred to the first generation of Japanese Browning bolt guns. I'm not sure if that was true but the XBolt doesn't have anything like that. If it did I wouldn't worry about it or see it as a corner cutting measure...
