    Too thick Hoppe .22 caliber cleaning patches.

    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...

    1978 REM 700 ADL

    Fantastic info. Thanks for that Swampwolf. The cut checkering from the 70's was done very well skip checkered or not.

    1978 REM 700 ADL

    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.

    1978 REM 700 ADL

    78 Remmy used cut checkering on BDLs and ADL. Pressed was out in early 70's. Locking bolt was discontinued in 82.

    rarest caliber in a pre-64 model 70 winchester?

    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.

    Why to people butcher and rape milsurps?

    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...

    rarest caliber in a pre-64 model 70 winchester?

    Approach rare caliber M70's with caution. Folks have made counterfeit barrels using factory stamps. For this reason I focus on collecting common calibers.

    Why to people butcher and rape milsurps?

    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...

    Why to people butcher and rape milsurps?

    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.

    AR Outside Barrel Rust

    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.

    What happened to hunting rifle stocks?

    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.

    Kimber 84M vs. 84L

    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.

    What is this rust looking substance on my chrome-lined barrels?

    Looks like old gummed oil to me. Remove barrel and hit that with some solvent and a toothbrush.

    Am I being too picky? Gunbroker issues.

    I would not be happy buying that.

    So who makes a good Bolt Action these days?

    I own at least one of every rifle mentioned here. I can vouch for the Xbolt and Sako 85 as being exceptional. 85s are as good as I have used.

    Browning X Bolts must be crap according to article

    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...

    Sako Mod 85 Bavarian Carbine

    Beautiful rifle. My Sako 85s are favored over anything else in the safe. Even my rifles that cost a lot more don't compare.
