Green Mountain Barrels
May be a fluke. I've orders dozens of barrel blanks from them and never had an issue.- BobB

Muzzle crown has no effect on accuracy proven, gunsmith's pound sand.
I'll go with the idea that an angle on the muzzle has no effect...as long as it is consistent. Just yesterday I was messing with an integrally suppressed .300 Blackout built on a Rem. 700 action. At 25 yards...it wouldn't stay on a sheet of paper. When it did hit the paper it was leaving...- BobB

Muzzle brake or silencer?
Not a problem. The Swiss and the Finns use cans on their MG's. The only issue is heat build up. You can and will smoke a can and get it red hot, in which it starts coming apart. I sell lots of suppressors. Many NFA guns, M-16's in particular, use cans on their guns during full auto shoots. It...- BobB

OT- what it took to blow up a hi-point pistol
I dont know about that testing done on the Hi-Point. I see lots of them at the firing range when I am doing concealed handgun classes for the permit. My first question when I see a Hi-Point is , "how much is your life worth?". Seeing a Hi-Point on the range tells me one or two things. Either...- BobB

Re-chambering
It seems to work well in practical application though. I thought about possibly welding the bolt up, but at this point it works well enough to not be needed. Also, since this rifle is to be used for suppressed loads which are pretty light, stuck cases are usually the least of the worries.- BobB

Re-chambering
Thats true. Since this is a 7x57 Bolt, the 7.62x39 fits,feeds and extracts just fine.- BobB

Re-chambering
There is another reason to chamber in 7.62x39. This rifle is that reason. Its been rebarrelled with a .308 barrel and threaded 5/8-24 for a suppressor.You cant tell that it is threaded in the pic, because it has a thread protector on it that was fabricated from the cut off part of the barrel...- BobB

1891 argentine mauser
I just rebarrelled one this weekend. That sucker was so danged tight that I couldnt get it to budge. Rather than taking a risk of twisting the action, I cut the barrel off in a bandsaw and then bored out the reamains. The thread part of it screwed right out when it got thin. Anymore, I dont...- BobB

.22lr How to thread for moderator/silencer
To clarify...standard threads for .22's here in the US are 1/2-28. That is what US built suppressors are threaded for. Using a standard 1/2-20 die to thread a barrel and you will have a hard time finding a can to fit it.- BobB

American Guns
You need to come in from the cold and take a trip to South Alabama,the swamps of Louisianna or even Southern Florida and tell the boys that catch the gators with the chicken baited hooks that its all BS and that only an idiot would beleive it. I'd be willing to bet that we would never hear...- BobB

NFA vs. Sons of Guns question??
Make sure you print it on both sides, or the ATF will kick it back.- BobB

Drilling polycarbonate so that the hole stays clear.
We use Windex for coolant. It works pretty good.- BobB

head space advice??
Probably not much in the big scheme of things. If the gun is out of spec though, why not fix it?- BobB

head space advice??
Ah.. I see we differ. I think that anything worth doing is worth doing right. I havent seen anything in this thread that indicates shooting a match or shooting grizzly bears...with a small ring mauser. I also doubt that our OP would be spending a week in the bush where a mere spec of dust...- BobB
