We do a LOT of bluing, and the answer is going to be "it depends." If you are talking about hot-salt bluing like a professional shop uses then the answer is absolutely not. We do not plug bores in a hot-salt bluing tank because the pressure would cause the plugs to shoot out of the bore and splash 295 degree caustic salts everywhere. If you are talking about a traditional rust-blue where an application of bluing solution is swabbed onto the prepped steel, the part is allowed to oxidize (rust) in a humid cabinet, then boiled off in water and carded, the answer is yes. Bores do need to be plugged when rust-bluing simply to avoid any of the solution getting into the bore. We make plugs out of wooden dowel when we set up for this process - I know of no commercial reusable bore plugs for this purpose. Finally, if you are referring to swab-on "cold blues" - I would imagine you could plug bores similarly to the rust blue process. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The Remington Model 700 is a bolt-action rifle. It was made by the Remington Arms in 1962. It can come in many different stock, barrel and caliber configurations.
The caliber of the firearm should be stamped on the barrel.
A rifle.
Shiloh Sharps caliber 45-110. Nice rifle, huh?
Have it examined by a good gunsmith. This rifle use a .22 caliber bullet, long rifle.
22 Long Rifle
Impossible to answer without a detailed description of ALL markings, features, caliber, barrel length, stock, box, papers, accessories, condition, finish, etc..
Not with the information you have provided. Who made it? Rifle, Shotgun, Revolver, Pistol? Condition? Barrel length? Finish? Caliber/gauge? Serial Number? Accessories? Got the original owner's manual and box?
read top of barrel. it will tell you the caliber bullet it shoots............
Yes, but normally "submachineguns" (small machineguns that use pistol-caliber ammo) are better to put silencers on, since they use less gunpowder and have lower pressures in the barrel. A real rifle-caliber machinegun CAN be used with a special kind of silencer designed to hold up to the heat and pressure of fully-automatic shooting.
This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down. Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.
Depedns on what the barrel is marked as to caliber. Could be rim or centerfire.
