  1. thanks for the replies guys...I knew about the short life of the O2 tanks from lowes, but it does seem to be a handy little setup. I plan on getting an OA set some day, kinda hoping to run across a used set.
  2. Z, will any of these work? Tractor Supply has these
  3. I'm going to try donmarkey's hinged triggerguard mod. So I need to solder/braze the hinge to the floorplate. I have one of the MAPP/Oxygen torches from Lowes. Should I just order the solder and flux from Brownells?
  4. Will a MAPP torch like the ones sold at Lowes burn hot enough to silver solder...or do you have to have OA?
  5. Yeah, the one Potterfield did looked kinda bubba to me. I've seen ones here that looked awesome...like yours Z, kenak's, and clemson's...I know I've neglected others but those are the ones that come to mind.
  6. I just watched Larry Potterfield remove the charging hump from a LR mauser action. It was on the guntech section during American Rifleman TV. He used a Dremel with one of the coarse sanding drums and a mill followed by an India stone. I think he was doing okay until he got to the stoning...looks like to me he rolled the edges over way too far. It wasn't near as sharp and clean as the ones I've seen many of the members here do. I did see one thing that I thought was kinda neat, he laid a piece of sand paper smooth side down over the bridge, and lapped the rear base to the profile of the newly contoured bridge. I've almost finished mine, but I started with a 9/16 HSS end mill, then a , then the stone. I'm trying to get a nice clean line along the sides of the receiver like the ones Z1r and others have done. Have any of you guys ever lapped the rear base? I noticed you can see light under my rear base, but i figured I would continue stoning the bridge until the lines were nice and crisp and the base fit down tight. He also checked the tops of the bases with a level, and lapped the rear base until it was level with the front. Honestly this is something I completely neglected to check, but i will now.
  7. that bolt turned out really nice.//what kind of welder do you have?
  8. dunno i could be wrong...what is welding paste?
  9. I think he is talking about heat control paste
  10. it's funny you mentioned that, because the first time I turned threads thats what they looked like
  11. I never thought about turning the bit...thanks Z What's the TPI?
  12. thanks lemski...wouldn't aluminum make a better heat sink since it's a better conductor?
  13. What's the deal with the funky threads on the bolt shroud of the 98s? How would one go about turning those threads in a lathe? I was wanting to turn myself a heat sink out of aluminum round stock, but am unsure about these threads.
  14. .562-(1/24)=.520 I think I would just use the 33/64 drill
