    Wire inlay tools?

    Thanks Galamb, making the tools thinner than the wire makes sense to me! Does the super glue have any effect on the staining or finish on the stock? Thanks again! JT

    What size vent liner?

    Thanks for the replies. I went with the 5/16, cause I had it. It worked fine, centered between flats. It did run into barrel/breech threads just like Zonie stated. I shortened the liner so it wouldn't interfere with the threads. Thanks again JT

    What size vent liner?

    I have a 7/8 straight barrel in .45 caliber. I bought a 5/16-32 White Lightning vent liner. After thinking more about it and physically having the liner in my hand, I think I should go with the 1/4 inch liner. The 5/16 liner looks big. I would think the bigger liner would be an advantage as far...

    What barrel do I have

    I picked up what I am told is a Rayle barrel. The problem is, it is not marked at all. I would like to know what the twist on this barrel is, but can't find info on twist that Rayle used for .45 cal. How can I tell if it is a Rayle barrel? Why wouldn't a barrel maker put something (not...
