  1. Matching an existing throat with a UniThroater

    So... lets say you want to match the throat on barrel A, on barrel B... and you have a Unithroater ;) The directions go over how to set the throater to match an existing barrel's throat. Got that part. My (admittedly limited) experience is that the throat tends to 'move' a little...
  2. Loctite nut to barrel

    Long time lurker, first time poster with a question. Here & elsewhere I've read of guys using loctite to fasten their barrel nut to their barrel (once properly headspaced), however I'm wondering if anyone here has actually done it themselves & what their results were. Thanks in advance.
  3. Sako Barrel Replacement

  6. Using a CoAx Indicator to center a barrel in the lathe?

    Is there any reason why a coax indicator couldn't be used to center a barrel in the lathe? I've only used one on a mill, but it's used to center a spindle over a hole. Couldn't you put it in the tailstock and use it to center the barrel to the tailstock axis? What's more, they're usually...
