I’d like to reach out and ask a couple of milling questions if you’d be willing to take a call or a PM. Let me know if anyone here is a gunsmith that knows their way around a knee mill.

Any gunsmith skilled machinists on the forum?

I won't claim "skilled", but have a Precision Matthews 940 and have managed to not break it lately. I will try to help, but don't want to get your hopes up.

I have a knee mill. Use it for gunsmithing pistols. I’m not very smart but ask away

John P. - Pic.4. Interesting no lathe mandrel and tailstock used. I’d not thought to use step up block etc.!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
