  1. Ever seen the video of the tank running over the AK and the gun still works? This thread brings that into my mind. Maybe if you try that it'll straighten out the receiver and the gun will run right. Of course I jest.
  2. It'll be interesting to see a before and after picture when you get it back. I'm not a KelTek fan. Owning a Sub2000 assured me of that, but I will say their CS is thorough, albeit slow.
  3. What'r the chatter marks in the chamber, directly under the inserted words? Looks like a tool got away from the operator. Also, it looks like a burr directly next to the second R in "BURR".
  4. I really wish I had the ambition to carve the rifle I built this past winter like this.
  5. Agreed, no need of taking apart every time, or often, for that matter.
  6. Agreed, The average shooter will likely never shoot a bolt gun to the point of erosion. I shoot quite a bit. I'd shoot a lot more if ammo was cheaper or if I was ambitious enough to reload more than I do. I think I've shot my 30/06 about 121 times, because I've counted empty boxes and killed an 8 point whitetail buck with it. I now have enough brass to clean and reload, but I still have a few boxes of factory ammo to shoot before I actually put the shoulder time in to work up a handload. Oh, the barrel is whatever came on it from the factory. That is the one thing I haven't worked
  7. https://lovebackyard.com/how-many-bales-of-hay-per-acre/ Y'all are throwing away income.
  8. What you said. That or a spring hammer issue.
  9. # 1 The eye thing. That "astigmatism". I have it and it sucks. Red dot sights look oval and sometimes double dotted. Scopes are no problem. Front iron sights are ok in bright sunlight. If shady, they can be an issue. Squeaky indicated in one of his posts that he doesn't have the skill or equipment to do the job. One thing I'll mention on his behalf is that pillaring is usually a prerequisite for glass bedding. I'll admit that I have never hired a gunsmith. I've always done my own work. I was fortunate that as a child I was able to sit at the bench of an old-t
  10. Now if only we could get the Saigas themselves moved to a new faster server this place might pick up again. Just a thought.🤔
  11. To me, this seems like the type of project that is satisfying only if I had the ability and did the work myself. Squeaky, you stated you'd be having a gunsmith do the work, so essentially you'd be buying a rifle that costs more than if you searched for something similar to what you want built. Your money, so spend happy.
  12. Laminated wood is basically high end plywood. The grain is all arranged to cancel out tendencies to warp in any direction, and the whole thing is stabilized by the forcefed glues and resins they used to make the laminate. For most purposes, it would be stiffer than fiberglass etc, and not subject to warping. Maybe a little more prone to swell with moisture though, depending on what process they used for the laminations. It will probably be heavier though, BTW, the posts above have really good info on the topic, and I can second the notion that watching youtube videos on the topic will give
  13. If you go to youtube and search for "pillar bedding a rife stock" and "glass bedding a rifle stock" you will see great examples of both. Usually, pillar bedding is done in preparation for glass bedding.
  14. I've got an SKS in one and a 30-06 Savage Axis in one. Quality stuff. The Savage took a bit more fitting, but the one for the SKS didn't have a bayo groove. It does now. I'd recommend them, for sure 2017 Buck They can be pillared and bedded. I have not done mine. I will someday, and there are videos out there showing how. On the Savage Axis, the action is tight to the wood and passes the $1 test the length of the fore end. The barrel lug that came in the stock needed to be shaved so the action would seat. The laminate is very stable and void free. I'd trust it at any temp. It's dy
  15. Let me look around. I may have one, but don't bug me about it. I've got a lot going on so a simple reminder is a week or so if I don't get back to you.
  16. You do realize this is why we get accused of white privilege and birthright privilege? This is why it has been stated that we owe everything to everybody that doesn't have it as good. Perhaps one of the underprivileged should swap out their video device for a Savage Axis in 30-06 (minimum) and a box of shells.
