Gunsmithing (no politics)
Grognard:
private sales between adult citizens are fully legal.
If I were to make such a sale, I'd only ask for ID if there was a question of age.
I'm looking at needing to drill a hole in the underside of the stock, and the H&R only has a tap hole at the end of the tube.

Thanks, that's all I needed to hear.

So I have been denied the ability to make my dinosaur hunting gun. Technical reason: Head instructor doesn't want me investing the time required to open the bolt face up to a .458 Win Mag. It's doable, but again time and effort required aren't worth it in his mind. So I can select any round that fits a "standard" bolt face (vs. say a magnum bolt face). So since the bolt came set up for a .30-06 I'm doing a .338-06. A .338-06 is a necked up .30-06 cartridge that now rolls deep with a .338 round. It has INCREDIBLE ballistics, it's hit point at 300 yards is LITERALLY a straight line from point of origin. That's fucking insane.
My day as a gunsmith was fucking painful otherwise. 7.5 hours polishing this barrel and it's STILL fucked up. Whatever. I don't care about project time any more. I want to get it right, not necessarily get it done fast.

No this will not have any effect on function or accuracy. If you wish to avoid damage the stock for other reasons, it is usually possible to use a traditional leather strap around the stock, with a D ring for fast sling attachment

I am looking forward to seeing your 338-06 project. I've always been a big fan of the ought six wildcats in all their weird glory, as the 30-06 is pretty well the definitive "american game cartridge", and America is a nation of tinkerers.
