Re: shortest threaded Ruger MKIII?

that is pile of great looking rigs. I went with the factory threaded Ruger. Works well but I know I will end up firing up the lathe and cutting and threading it someday. I seem to not leave anything alone.

Re: Red dot on FNC

I have an aimpoint R1 on my FNC. I did use a primary arms dot as a stop gap one session. It worked but point of aim moved a bit. I say stick with the good optics for the FA guns.

I have not had a 22 handgun in a long time. I have another 22 can incoming and would like to shoot it on a handgun.

Re: Threading a Remington Nylon 66 Questions

I just sent my remmy barrel off to be threaded.

Great minds think alike. It was my first rifle and it has taken me 30 years to get a can on it.

Re: Video Tutorial: Building OMEGA Baffles

Paul Job well done.

I think your setup is great and dont sweat the hate.

Now I was only paid to machine things for a living for 2 years and I know that many salty crusts have better ways to do s--t. But if it is stupid and it works, it IS NOT STUPID!

Re: using jam nuts w/screw on suppresors to stay in place

It would work as long as the outside of the barrel is aligned with the bore. The bore doesn't always come out exactly in the center of the barrel. Most of us don't have good enough eyes to see a difference of .010 or .020 but that could be enough to cause a baffle strike. When barrels are threaded ...

using jam nuts w/screw on suppresors to stay in place

I am waiting for a form 1 to come in soon and I have thought about threading my barrels. This got me to thinking. Would it be bad to extend the threading a bit in length to accommodate a jam nut of some nature. Figuring that the rear of the can is square could it hurt? fabricating a jam nut should n...

why is turning threads on centers bad?

Please explain to me a concentricity noob why this is a bad idea. Does it have to do with the possible play in a live center throwing it off true?
