    Chambering reamer piloting

    Barrel I get from Lilja have chamber side marked. In the Past I had no problem getting .22LR to group 1/2" or less at 50 yards in semi-auto pistol barrels. Being NRA Precision pistol competition longest range is 50 yards there is no sense to try longer distance.

    What's to bore on .22LR? Pilot diameter .217" another reamer ,218". If chamber is .226" on the small side, Cutting .004"/side cut easily can start oversize! I understand so little needs to be cut rougher is not necessary but is supposedly increases the life of the finisher. And making target...

    Chambering reamer piloting

    I have been using a set (rougher/finisher) of .22lr from Clymer for quite a while. Not sure what style. decided to try Bentz style from Manson. Also thought replaceable bushing pilot would be good to have, at the time I needed .217" pilot. (ordered and received) I then got a tightbore barrel...

    WTB .250" thru .255" gauge pins Z

    I do have the pins but want to make a special gauge, epoxy the pins in a handle. Need 4" length but measurement area is only .5" so standard length pins will work. Better is 4" long pins then I don't need handle but cost needs to be low. Used pins OK, used gauge blocks will also work. Have a few...

    Harvest King Bar and chain oil available in central PA

    I agree that some oils are very good, That uncle of mine I mentioned told me they used Mobil oil in their gear boxes and turbines because it was a better oil than Chevron had! For something like precision spindles a standard oil is not good because it contains paraffin. To be honest I was...

    Harvest King Bar and chain oil available in central PA

    Watching PF I wasn't looking for the cheapest oil. What I like is the comparison. I'll decide which is best. What I want to avoid is buying what I think is the best yet get nothing more and advertising hype! What impressed me the most about Harvest King was the tackifier. It was the only one...

    Harvest King Bar and chain oil available in central PA

    Thanks SIP6A ordered and on the way. JST; Yeah I know PF is kinda iffy! I don't understand he claims to not be sponsored but he destroys a lot of items, some are quite expensive. Not putting the stuff on machine ways. I judged the performance from what I seen and willing to test a gallon

    Contact transfer material

    I do have Permatex Prussian Blue that's the same thing I think. My dad used Prussian Blue oil paint coloring. Problem with it is I would have to get the items perfectly aligned since any contact will deposit color. I need something that requires a bit of contact pressure.
