There was a guy on YouTube who built a 6.5x47 from start to finish quite a few years ago. Said he was retired. Well it was a series of videos, and he had a scratchy/raspy voice but the videos were good I thought. They are not on YouTube anymore. Anyone know who I’m thinking of, his name?
Video on you tube
- Thread starter Bogusname
- Start date
I wonder if he violated one of Youtube's rules regarding firearms, which can be a bit tricky. A number of guys are moving their videos to Vimeo.

The guy on the video I posted is called "S&S Precision" out of Argyle Texas. Looks like a lot of benchrest guys were using him at one time, And he does use a 3 jaw in the video.

The other guy you guy's were talking about I can't remember his name, But it wasn't Suarez, That Suarez dude is a real gem, He is an Ak guy.
The guy that did the bolt gun videos had a raspy voice and the hint of a hispanic accent, The guy really was pretty good, I enjoyed watching his stuff. Although I haven't watched anything from him in quite awhile.
There are 2 Suarezs’. One is modern tacticool, or at least seemed that way. I didn’t have to watch the videos to know that wasn’t the one I’m talking about. Same for the s&s also.
I wanted to save the videos but he has disappeared. They were what pushed me into doing rifles myself. Videos were from 2010-2011ish.

I take it youve never seen a set tru chuck? Its next level stuff up from a 4 jaw so dont bag on 3jaws if you spot one in a good gunsmiths shop. They know exactly what theyre doing although stick is no longer with us
Yep. He had a two-part video on chambering between centers that was excellent, chambered my first stick that way after watching them.

I wasn't bagging on anybody either, But I have seen others do it. That's what I was saying.

When I started threading rem bolt handles for knobs, I watched his video and it was pretty good.
His name was also Suarez. I found a little info and where videos were no longer available on Snipers hide. The particular videos was his last build before retiring. Anyway, thanks for the help.The guy on the video I posted is called "S&S Precision" out of Argyle Texas.

You are right, he went by STR on snipers hide. They used to have his videos marked as “sticky’s” on the top of the gunsmithing section. I have no idea if they still do.
I enjoyed watching his videos, I believe he once mentioned he was from Florida…? But it looks like he hung up his hat somewhere in 2011.
