  1. Play In Matched AR-10 Upper/Lower

    I appreciate that and welcome any info anyone has to offer. I know it's not a serious problem but I'm grateful that everyone here is so helpful. It's an amazing departure from the onslaught of 0/0 people trying to sell me 9mm FMJ at (now) $0.80/rd

  2. Play In Matched AR-10 Upper/Lower

    I'll take another look at the pins too... If that's the culprit then I'll see if new pins or even sleeves may fix it. Thanks for the direction.

  3. Play In Matched AR-10 Upper/Lower

    I'm going to tear it down again tomorrow... I thought I did a good job disassembling, cleaning and reassembling but maybe I didn't torque things down. I appreciate the tip on that screw point. I'll check it out.

  4. Play In Matched AR-10 Upper/Lower

    It's more a matter of me noticing an imperfection on an expensive rifle every time I handle it rather than thinking I'm hurting it honestly. It just bugs the **** out of me and I want to fix it.

  5. Play In Matched AR-10 Upper/Lower

    Just looked it up. I wouldn't mind trying it or using it for the time being. I appreciate it! I'm also looking for a permanent solution... one that could make the whole thing right for the life of the rifle.

  6. Play In Matched AR-10 Upper/Lower

    Bought an AR-10 for a great price here but there is the smallest amount of play/wobble between the upper and lower receivers. Is it a matter of the pins maybe being worn? Do I need to consider shimming it somehow? Only owned 1 other AR and there was no issue like this so I'm pretty ignorant...

    Mosin Nagant uh oh.

    Well, the good news is that you have 4" to work with on the barrel length if you need it. The bad news is that you can say goodbye to the front sights, the bayonet, and $0.10 worth of unburnt powder with every shot at that length! :cool-new:

    Mosin Nagant uh oh.

    A lot of these were "counter bored" to correct muzzle damage or at least minimize the risk of this. Not saying this for sure happened but it would make sense that a damaged or bent exit for the projectile did this. Obviously it could be a dozen other things but who knows...

  9. Type 53 revival.

    I'm not sure if you meant me or the op but you quoted me :) Mine is still a work on progress... I have 3 kids; 1, 2, & 5 so i take an hour here and there after hours when I can. Its clean head to toe, all old finish is gone, I was left with some cool dark tiger striped wood. Im going to make...

    question about Case hardening/flame bluing

    A clean burning fuel and a high enough temp will start to "rainbow" the steel. Just youtube flame blueing.

    question about Case hardening/flame bluing

    I would imagine flame bluing (oil quench) is doable by the average Joe, case hardening isn't. My analysis comes from watching videos with internal responses of "Well, that probably won't kill me" and "Well, that's totally out of question."

  12. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    Haven't even gotten that far. Got the gun on friday, disassembled, cleaned up, stripped and sanded the wood once over, started on the steel butplate and magazine/trigger guard as far as metal reconditioning is concerned. I'll probably finish the stock first then move on to the barrel. It's going...

  13. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    Holy crap... This may take forever. The Type 53 I received has some awesome wood... The metal is going to take a month! Oh well, I'll just add updates here.

  14. Type 53 revival.

    LOL Hickorynut... now we know you're a nerd! (I actually have microscope slides too :( ...)

  15. Type 53 revival.

    Any update? Mine just delivered to my FFL and I have to pick it up after work... I am prepared for the worst!

  16. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    Everything will be done by hand. I considered a dremel for small out of the way places but I don't trust my control over it enough, even with a polishing head. Tools Needed: 2 hands, sandpaper, polishing compound, oil, elbow grease.

  17. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    I'll take your word for it. Afterall, like grandpa always said "You never smell another man's gun."

  18. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    The more I think about what this rifle could turn into the more I think I may be crazy... I 'll post pics after it's all done so everyone on the boards can say "WTF" collectively. A little ridicule and public humiliation never hurt anybody... amirite?

  19. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    Interesting... do you have anything on it - oil or polishing compound residue?

  20. Remove Blue and Polish Bare?

    LOL I knew there'd be posts like this, I just didn't expect them so quickly! I know, my next one will be cleaned up, kept functioning and kept in my collection forever. This one however is going to be my test subject. If all else fails, the metal will be in fine condition for re-blueing.
