If you'll go back to post #6 you will see that "I ordered a 5C for back-up", I think that means the shooter I ordered it for practices alot and wants minimal down time, and doesn't want to miss a match, when the barrel the rifle is wearing becomes not accurate enough to suit him. In my recent...

A Limited Liability Company is treated, tax wise, the same as a sole proprietor.

Who needs a bucket full when all it should really take is one! I have no interest in doing "general" type work. The vast majority of the work I do is for those that appreciate a job well done and to their satisfaction. The folks I work for, almost 100%, went thru basic, know what they want, and...

Maybe not, but, he may need all the help he can get! Having confidence in ones equipment can make a world of difference.

I've chambered most all mentioned at one time or another, exept the Schneider. Kreiger is cut rifled, Shilen and Hart are 'pushed button' rifled, and the Broughton is 'pull button' rifled. I build tactical bolt rifles, varmint rifles, and big game rifles and have a customer who makes about...

Anyone have personal experiance with Broughton 5C Canted Rifled barrels? How about Shilen's "ratchet rifled"? Looks to me to be a sound principal. Should help to keep bullet 'integrity' by NOT hurting the jacket as the bullet engages the rifling.

I think the 16g would make a fine up-land bird/game gun if thats what a guy wanted. I'd stick with 12g for water fowl.

Are there 16g. steel shot loads? Everyone knows it takes, at minimum, a 3 1/2" 12g. Mag. to down a Wood Duck.

That 'round count' depends on how hard the owner has her throttled up (fps). If he is shooting in the 2800 fps range that barrel should run for a total round count of about 2500 rounds. Barrel life also depend on the care it has or has not gotten. 1 in 10 twist won't make for 140g. or heavier...

The right tools would include a lathe, most MODERN barrels for rebarreling M1's need to have the shoulder adjusted. They are made to work on any receiver in many degrees of wear. Barrel needs to be "indexed" so that the front sight & gas cylinder are in the right place and everything lines up...

I think all Remington barrels, regardless of model, start from the same pile of barrel blanks.

The plus, the 16g. throws a little more shot and is built on a smaller frame than a 12g,,, if it is a quality made shotgun to begin with. It hasn't the recoil of a 12g. It has nostalgia. On the 'minus' side, shells aren't available every where although more places carry them than in recent...

try Numrich Arms/ Gun Parts corp.

Model 1914 was .303, made for the British government before U.S. got involved in WW1. Model 1917, same rifle, but, converted to .30-06 for U.S. government. There weren't enough '03 Springfields on hand when the U.S. entered the war.

Have at it. "Zone" hardening wasn't available when those military Mausers were being made. I'm was only a metalurgist for McGill Mfg. for 11 1/2 yrs, attended a two year gunsmithing program at MCC Troy N.C. (and graduated) and have 17 years of full time gunsmithing experiance under my belt...

There is ALWAYS rust in the bottom of those pits and, given even half a chance, it'll come crawling out at you! You can't fill pits on an action, it is heat treated. Welding on heat treated metal anneals it (makes it soft). This poor action is probobly beyond saving (by the looks of the pics).

Those nice blue jobs come from proper metal prep. You can't blue pits away, they have to filed away, you know, with a mill bastard file, then polished either buy hand with wet & dry paper or a buffer. Hand work, even if it's 'just' filing away pits doesn't come cheap. You MIGHT have that mount...

From what I can see (which isn't much) , I'd 'bite the bullet'.

If it sticks out past the muzzle and its made of polymer muzzle blast will 'do it in'. Flashlights make good targets at night when the person shooting doesn't care who is behind that light, just my reasoning for NOT mounting one on my firearm.

Yes, it's those that we each find special that deserve those "extra" touches. If I fancy a gun into my personal collection, it will probobly never leave. I think, over the the years, may two have left. I know what I want, and after I get it I'm not about to change my mind!
