Drilling & tapping

Well, I picked up 2 older MKII's. A 5 1/2" blue and a Stainless 5 1/2" 22/45. As they were older ones neither came drilled & tapped. so I ordered a couple Weigand bases and went to work. thanks for the drilling template Bullseye. I've done a few blued ones over the years, so no issues there. Just be...

If it's just built up fouling and lead deposits, just wrap a few strands of ''ALL COPPER'' Chore boy pot scrubber around a used 22 brush. Chuck it into the drill and give each chamber 10-20 seconds at low speed. Keep adding strands if it gets packed into the bristles. Very important to use an all co...

cupon

I don't remember ever seeing one either. But when I was checking out there was a section for a coupon code. So I figured I'd ask. On the plus side I finally found a MKII stainless 22/45. I've been looking for a good deal on one since taking my blued MKII on a canoe trip...With predictable results. R...

Thanks Bullseye!

The last one I did kind of Redneck (I say that with pride, cuz I are one), and just used the base as a template.

Wanted: Ruger MKII base

I thought I'd throw this out there before ordering one. I'm looking for a factory base for the MKII target. I picked up an older one that I intend on putting a Ultra Dot on after I drill & tap it. That way I have a back up for my backups backup. Anyone out there have a base lying around that they do...

If it is a ring bulge, and we don't know at this point, the barrel will most likely shoot just fine...Until the cavity that is there fills with carbon and lead deposits, then every subsequent round is bumped, scraped, wedged by the buildup and accuracy goes to pot in a hurry. As long as you keep the...

Unusual placement for a buildup of anything. Common enough placement for a ring bulge, resulting from a squib load lodging 1/2 way down & the next round slamming into the rear of the lodged 22 slug. These are easy enough to feel with a sporter barrel, but with a heavy barrel more difficult to either...

The first 2 cases (Aquila SE stnd velocity) I had were from Cole Distibuting at $119.00 a case, delivered...If I had only known:( The last case I've had a few more issues with. Seems to be a bit underpowered. Either they've changed their velocity or type of powder because it only works with a clean ...

Coach1,
Must be a combination of not enough coffee and CRS, but I didn't catch any typos until I reread it a couple times.

I guess we don't have any ex-spelling/grammar teachers on this board who will keep us after school if we fail to properly use the kings English.

I have to agree with the way the M9 never fit. Long before I took up shooting the 1911 (1999) the M9 just never felt right. You know what I mean, some pistols you pick up and they just feel right. Others feel like a 2x4 and never get better. The 1911 was one of those that just felt right every time ...

I've been using my Mitutoyo for on at least a weekly basis for over 30 years and it still works like a new one.

Good stuff.

I hear what you're saying. Back when I didn't care about recoil, I loved the 338 WM. You could eat right up to the bullet hole. Flash forward to a few years ago, I used a Tikka in 223 with 60 partitians for my whitetail. Never would be my first choice, but I was going in the next week for rotator cu...

Charles, If you haven't already, look at the 120 Ballistic tip. My deer hunting bud shoots a Tikka in 708 and I shoot a Rem 700 in 708 Imp. While I could never get the 120 to shoot out of mine, it shot really well in both his 708 and 7 Rem Mag. I witnessed him take a whitetail doe lying in a harvest...

Charles,
Have you tried a ladder test yet?

It really saves components and speeds up finding the sweet spots for velocity.
