    Yep, the old Bostich staplers made good .22 RF firing mechanism, giving a full width strike like the Gevarm bolts. I would probably have a slightly more robust barrel mounting though!

    The Welrod was designed to be fired in contact with the target for maximum effect so accuracy was of no consequence! If you want hit things further than 25 metres then forget about wipes. Wipes are...

    johnd liked post by gundoc On thread : Remington 700 trigger adjustment
    The factory M700 triggers have the adjustment screws locked with a very strong grade of Loctite. This bond can only be broken with heat. A fine point electric soldering iron on the screw will do...

    As Zach was my apprentice then I am not surprised! I always used a needle flame with oxy acetylene which keeps the heat localized. The soldering iron trick is for people with no gas, or using a...

    Hell, I could write a book on some of the bubba'd firearms I have seen come into my workshop over the years! One of the most memorable was a Bayard single shot .22 from a West Coast possum trapper...
