Red Letter Industries / Is there a glossy cerakote?
« on: September 19, 2023, 04:16:01 PM »

I have a bolt knob for an Anschutz rifle which was hydro-dipped. 
I took off the plastic coating, and want it to have a "glossy gun blue" type of cerakote.  Is there such a thing?

thanks

Firearms and Accessories / Anyone do hot bluing for firearms?
« on: September 12, 2023, 11:44:36 PM »
Wondering if any of the LGS or gunsmiths on Oahu do hot gun bluing?

I know that I can go to a LGS and pick up some bluing in a plastic bottle, but I really want
a deep blue and a professional job.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Firearms and Accessories / Will UPS or FedEx send my rifle to a mainland FFL?
« on: December 20, 2022, 11:21:14 AM »

I will be sending my rifle (stock & barreled action) to a gunsmith in Las Vegas.

Will the gunsmith need to be an FFL licensed entity?  If he is not an FFL, do I need to send it to his FFL?

Does UPS or FedEx accept a shipment-ready box with a rifle in it?

(I thought I read somewhere that UPS or FedEx will not be accepting firearms for shipment by individuals??)

Firearms and Accessories / What's a good hard rifle case?
« on: December 18, 2022, 11:18:11 PM »

Until now, I never had the need for a hard rifle case, but I will be shipping my rifle to Las Vegas for a new stock fitting.

Anschutz BR50 rifle, no scope.

What's a good rifle case besides Pelican?

What's everyone using?

Firearms and Accessories / Local stock maker or gunsmith to epoxy-bed an inletted stock?
« on: August 11, 2022, 11:17:47 AM »
I thought I saw a blog in 2A about gunsmiths or stock makers who bed actions, but I can't seem to find it now.

I am getting a stock made for an Anschutz 54.30 action & barrel.
It will be inletted, but no epoxy-bedding.

I would like to find a stock maker or gunsmith to do this locally....  any suggestions?

Thanks.

Firearms and Accessories / Best subcompact 9mm AMMO? Your choices? Where to buy in HNL?
« on: July 07, 2022, 03:07:52 PM »
Subcompacts all have barrels of about 3" or so.

What's your ammo choice for short barrels?  +P?  +P+?

Which LGS has them?


I only have 115 & 124gr FMJ for practice, and none of the "good stuff".................... ::)

Firearms and Accessories / Any Anschutz 2013 owners in Honolulu? Up to testing a Lilja barrel?
« on: February 14, 2022, 01:55:43 AM »
Any Anschutz 2013 rifle owners in Honolulu? 
I've seen 2 or 3 Anschutz 2013s on the Kokohead range, but don't know who they are.

I have an "old" Lilja barrel that came with the rifle when I bought it in July 2020.
This rifle and barrel was Steve Boelter's personal rifle.

Steve said the barrel was very accurate.

If you own an Anschutz 2013 and would like to try the barrel, I can help you take off and
put on this barrel.

If it shoots well in your rifle, I would let the barrel go for a small amount of $$.
If it doesn't shoot well, just return it.

(Barrel is just sitting in my safe. I have a new Lilja barrel on my rifle and a Benchmark barrel coming in a few weeks.)

I'd like to see some amazing wood stocks that are floating in Honolulu.
Seen a couple of beautiful stocks on some rifles at Kokohead.

A picture and explanation of the type of wood and finish will be great.

Here goes:

Firearms and Accessories / Need a machining company to repair shooting rest legs (leveling knobs)
« on: August 12, 2020, 11:54:01 PM »

Does anyone know of a machinist or a machining company to repair a shooting rest legs (leveling knobs) ?

Two sharp points broke off and I need a machinist to bore a new hole and place a sharp peg into it.

Any machining company you have used before?

Thank you.

Firearms and Accessories / Bought an Anschutz 2013 rifle and a railed 1-piece rest
« on: June 04, 2020, 03:19:54 PM »
From the Anschutz Custom Shop:

Bought a modified Anschutz 2013 action rifle in a Shehane laminated stock, no barrel included.
Got a Lilja 29" SS barrel from ACS before they shipped it to HNL.


This rifle and rest was used to test 22LR barrels by the Anschutz Custom Shop, but I will
use this setup to test different ammo in a particular barrel.

The 1-piece shooting rest is from Accu-Shot in Louisiana.
Has 3 different bubble levels and is really heavy.

Have to think of how to carry it up the Kokohead incline to the shooting benches........ :crazy:

Barrels can be changed without removing the action from the stock.
5018 trigger configured to single stage, 2oz.
I've been looking for a 2013 to complete my Anschutz BR rifle set.

Rifle and rest are not new, but the Custom Shop has assured me that the rifle will be "refreshed" and up to specs.

Shipping costs going to be skyhigh.

Firearms and Accessories / Rifle Stock Finish. Stock Maker Recommendations?
« on: February 23, 2020, 11:23:26 PM »
I have a rifle stock which had a nice satin clear finish.

I tried to "make it nicer" with  Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil, but it made a thick, sticky looking type of finish.

Anybody have suggestions?     Or possibly a stock maker who could refinish the stock for me?

Thanks.

Reviews / Sichtkraft Wind Flags
« on: January 25, 2019, 02:52:53 PM »
I posted these wind flags in "Post Your Latest Purchase", but I thought to post them again here for more exposure.

Kokohead is pretty much windy all year round, and you'd be surprised that the wind shifts on the left-hand side of the rifle range something ferocious, because the on-shore wind bounces off the left-hand side hollow tile wall, making the wind go left and right. 

The right-hand side of the rifle range is pretty much stable, meaning that the wind doesn't shift as much as on the left-hand side.  When I used small survey flags, the 50-yard flag would blow to the left, and the 25-yard flag would blow to the right !   Hard to figure out.

Problem is, on the right-hand side, the shooter has a steeper angle shooting down towards the 50-yard targets.

I ordered these wind flags from Germany on December 14, 2018, and they arrived January 23, 2019.

They should give me wind direction and relative wind strength at Kokohead.

They are height-adjustable.

                                     https://shop.sichtkraft.com/en/wind-flag-50m-issf-type.html

It is "Made in Germany", not "Made in China" so quality is top-notch.  Very well made, well thought-out, and the flags swivel (showing wind direction).
