Quality Chamber Job - Smith Recommendations

I've been living in the land of prefits for my Zermatt actions. I have access to a reamer and a barrel that I'd like to get chambered and threaded. Don't mind sending my action in if it makes it that much better.

Looking for recommendations on someone trustworthy that would do a good job dialing it in and cutting it. Wait time isn't super crucial but I've been quoted 8 weeks by a couple. Price isn't the determining factor but I've seen some that are quite high IMO. I don't have anyone local that's worth a crap so I've all but decided to ship it all out. In NW AR. if it happens to matter.

Just looking to see who you would trust to chamber an expensive barrel.

Hey, look… more money laundering ahead!!


You’d think Jill would have enough by now… but guess they will shoot him up with drugs and get a million dollars to get him to lay a deuce in the floor of your convention…

Let him go off and die in peace for gods sake….

Nope… more sock puppet shows! Bet they are funny!!

Hot barrel was hammering…why

not smart enough to contribute much, but you folks always point me I the right direction.

Had a weird day at the range today. Lower end of my “node” if you believe in such things on this charge weight. I couldn’t recall if I had done load dev on this rifle with my supressor or not. So I backed it down .2 gr (6 creed, Lapua brass, 105’s) guessing that keeps similar speeds as unsupressed. I took bad notes, I know.

Hit my original great loads FPS, but rifle was walking all over the place. Decided to just kinda burn it down with 15 rounds on a hot barrel…result was just a hammer, all touching, one ragged hole.

Did the hot barrel increase speed and get back what the rifle likes with the can on? Was considering bumping back up .2 and .4 and seeing the results.

Jsut curious any theories behind why it only wanted to group when hot? I did put the chrono to it. Load dev (pretty sure unsupressed) was 2985…suppressed now and backed off .2gr was 2985, but it didn’t want to group cold to luke warm.

Gap contour barrel.

Stealth ARMS soft case.

Fantastic pistol, just does not get shot enough, and I need to put all my time into my carry optics gun if I ever plan to improve there. Has some wear on the cerakote (photo pointing at area of wear due to the atlas thumb rest). Functions great, mags lock back, feeds well. It is a great platform and stealth arms knocked it out of the park. Prickle grip doesn't tear you up (This is not the extra aggressive option), but grips hard. If you have any questions please ask.


Possible trades would be for a quality .223 trainer rifle (tikka, custom actions), FX120+autotrickler, RCBS matchmaster, thermal (clip on or scope). Sub 9 pound rifles, if you have anything else just ask.

SOLD GOLD Triggertech Diamond flat, touched by Margot Robbie*

Had it in my gold terminus Zeus, it’s been mounted but I sold the Zeus. Asking $300 because it’s gold and probably been shot by Margot Robbie *

*Not confirmed but it’s been confirmed that this trigger and Margot were both in the US at the same time at some point. I’ve included pictures of both… you decide.

PRS owner is about growing the sport, no matter what you might have heard

With all the prs bashing that a person hears from time to time, it’s always nice when it can be so easily shown to be wrong. Ken Wheeler brought a new shooter to a match and loaned him all his gear. He helped the entire match, giving instructions and advice. It wasn’t even a PRS match, but an NRL22 match. He’s just a good dude like most shooters that enjoy this stuff.

Best group at 500.

Had some magazine issues and some gas issues got them all sorted this weekend.
Dura mags seem to feed the best after some attention is paid to feed lips .
One out of 3 ASC mags has been 100% the other two are going in the trash .
Anyhow pleased with how it tuned out .
The bic lighter is 3 inches for reference.

Fix belling of lip

I have approx 20 cases that have a belling on the lip. While I am still trying to figure out the cause (likely too long case size or too much neck tension from what I read), is there a way to fix these cases so I can still use them or chucking them is the only option now? I have tried chamfering the lip but it still wouldn't chamber.
Also, these cases have a slight "dent/chipping" at the lip, likely due to me applying more pressure than needs to in an attempt to close the bolt (it didn't close).

The size difference is as follows:
.268 at the neck
.271 at the bell

The cases are Alpha 6mm Dasher


Thank you

I hope you don't have to return anything to Grafs

I ordered several bushings, $27 each, realized a few of them were way off from what I need, so I went to return them. Here's what they make you do

Call or email
Get RMA from Darla
send it back, pay for shipping
Pay 10% restocking fee

Darla never called back as the answerer on #3 told me she would 10 days ago. So I sent two emails over the past week. No reply so today I called again. Darla comes on the phone, says she emailed me twice. Did it go to spam? I don't know, I don't have time to pore through multiple folders. One thing for sure, there was no "reply" to the email streams I sent to [email protected], forwarding my original invoice so that the order # was right there. gmail shouldn't relocate to spam a reply to an active email stream.

Are they trying to make it difficult on purpose? Yes, is my guess.

Some of these places need to get with the 2020s. This is why people just buy their shit on amazon whenever they can. Easy Peasy.

Us aid @$&?ing Gone…


Well, it had a noble mission in the beginning. It’s been turned into nothing but a giant funnel for stealing money from taxpayers and screwing over countries all over the world with strings that they didn’t want.

Massive waste of American money and influence. Because everybody who was involved in, it was a socialist Pushing a non-American agenda.

Fucking awesome!!

Firearms Accuracy International AX50 ELR - Dark Earth

Very few rounds, almost all 750 AMAX (2600FPS). Always shot from wooden bench (no dirt, no concrete). I can get an exact round count. I will provide pictures, but wanted to get this posted. $13,500 plus actual shipping cost (will have to have my FFL ship because USPS will not come anywhere near close to providing adequate insurance). May have to ship it in separate packages b/c FedEx won't insure past $10K last I checked.

I also have a complete (and unused) reloading setup for it if purchaser is interested in that we can discuss.

Rifle is in located in Nashville area.

Will upload photos at some point. If you're really serious, feel free to harass me to get photos up.
