When it doesnt move... get a bigger hammer. Long story short I got the taper pin out. 3 bent pin punches. It just took TON's of hammering. No magic here. It was just a bear to move. Thanks for all the input.
Brand new unfired upper. I wanted to go with a floated handguard and low profile gas block.
I've done the job a number of times before (no issues) With this one 1 pin smacked out no problem, but the second one has whipped my ass for 3 days. I've had to take many breaks or I'd toss the damn...
Recently moved and have been unpacking. I get to the firearms and pull out my Remington 700 VSSF in 220 Swift. I go for my wipe down cloth and I see the bolt is not in the action. I rip apart the guncase.. Nothing. I rip apart all the other cases.. Nothing. I know you can't just slam a...
Thanks Mr NL.... Dont put yourself out... I'm putting a horizontal forearm on in place of the fore / pistol grip. The 14-24 machine screw 1 1/4" flat head or allen would work too. I need to get to your shop to get my NFA engraving done... some day....
Putting new furniture on my Tommy gun. I found out the screws are somewhat antique and not readily available. #14-24 thread. I've read this machine screw was used a lot in the 20's but nearly impossible to find now. I'm debating cutting new threads but I have concerns on resale value. I...
I've put maybe 30 AR lowers together but this one is whopping my ass.
The trigger pins wont insert. I've lubed the pins, I've used punches to guide, tapping , squeezing and the damn pins wont go.
The trigger allows the pins to go through, the lower does as well. It's when the trigger...
I been trying to think of something to do with my unfinished "Goldie" It was going to be an addition to my Agents of Shield themes but fell through :grey:
How about an "Antique" Mr NonLib ?
OK my guess.
Sounds like reloads that have been formed from .223/5.56 brass. Cut down and hand formed. Now the neck is out of spec being thicker and wont chamber.
I anneal and turn all my necks to specifications. I have seen this in a friends reloads. He pulled bullets out of 200 rounds...
Range update... Took the 1894 to the range. Ran 100 rounds through it without a single hitch. To verify even further we had a 12 y.o. young lady shoot nearly 30 rounds. She was a better shot then me :wacko: The young lady wasnt interested in it, but she wanted my Winchester 22 WMR. So now...
I'm back home and pulled all my BCG's. Very easy to tell the differences. I may take your advice and pack an extra 6.8 bolt. it is really thinned walled.
Over a number of our favorite libations we were discussing the various calibers that could be built upon the standard AR15 platform. The usual .223/5.56 , 30 Remington, 300BO, 6.8SPC, 450 Bushmaster 450 SOCUM.......... Most require a new bolt while some dont. The discussion came down to, can...
