I don't like these posts, but, look do with this information what you will. I understand that we can all have a bad experience with places and businesses or people etc etc and it's not necessarily reflective of their normal operations etc, just, heads up this is my experience.

Steer clear of St Arbor Customs.

In 2022, I was building a custom rifle for competition. I needed the stock to fit a Winchester 70 action. McMillan no longer inlet for it. There was no one in Australia at the time who could do it, so I asked McMillan and they put me into St Arbor Customs.

The bloke I spoke to is Doug. He is a very nice, friendly man. Under different circumstances I'd probably go for a beer with him. He helped me sort out the stock and even helped me with some rarer parts to add to it. Great.

I place my order in September 2022 and paid just over $2700, or somewhere in the ballpark of $1850 in USD.

Every time I reached out for an update, I was told that it'd be in the mail soon, he just has a lot of over heads and can't afford to ship it to me atm. I'm pretty sure I paid for postage in the initial quote, but I understand, he's starting a new business, i'll be a bit patient.

Then 2023 passed, then 2024 passed, all the same updates, all the same story (when I could get hold of him). It'll be posted soon, he just doesn't have the money right now.

It's now 3 years past when I ordered the stock. I've just googled "St Arbor Custom" and their website doesn't seem to exist anymore, so I guess he went out of business or something, but if it's all still going and the website is just down or something, maybe just have a look at the options you have for inletting and custom stock work.

I don't want to be a dick and LET'S ALL GRAB OUR FLAMING TORCHES AND BURN HIS HOUSE DOWN, I'm just saying, this is what happened to me, and I'm pretty annoyed by it.

I'm posting some stuff I thought I'd use or don't use anymore. I mostly shoot PRS and want to build an NRL rig, so I can shoot those matches and have a nice hunting gun at the same time.

Sticky schmedium bag from armageddon gear. It was a custom order. It has the crushed glass fill from spexlite. I've only used it twice for practice off props, I don't like it as much as my wiebad tatertot or the normal schmedium.

Thanks for your interest.

PM ME FIRST I WILL NOT PM U FIRST

I decided to try to flare a polymer grip and create an integral magwell. I wanted it to be slimmer, smoother and smaller than adding a add on well.
So what I did was make a magazine with the flare added, I then clamped it in a vise, added pressure and heat, it worked out pretty well I think. Needs some final touches but I think it worked out.

Up for sale is a very nice example of a NF ATACR 4-20x50 Mil-C optic. The knobs show zero wear, and it's overall in excellent condition, I take good care of my stuff. It's a no bullshit reticle and I have taken it out to 1100y with perfect, and I mean dead nuts tracking. Glass is 100% and in my collection of NF optics I think this is the clearest glass. I will stand by the tracking, glass, and overall condition of this optic. No scuff, scrapes, dings, dents, lite ring marks but if you see them your eyes are better than mine. Used two or three times, once at range, then out to distance. Comes with box, caps, and all the stuff theses ship with.

No lo ballers and no nigerian princes. Sorry no trades.

$2300 shipped.

Thanks for looking.

Seen this scat in the woods a couple of months ago. sorry all I could find for scale.
Then I found a 5 toe track a few days later, have heard about sightings of big cats and black bear not far from here in bum fuck mid east Tx.

Message me directly if interested. I will not initiate a message with you asking for payment. Do not let the scammers win.


These two lots were from two rifles that I had tested at the Lapua test center. Both rifles have found new homes, so selling the ammo.

At present, not willing to split the entire lots up. Look at pictures for lot numbers. If you want all of it, I would discuss a discount for taking the full 10 bricks.

6 bricks $ SOLD shipped (tested in my Anschutz, hence the A in market)

4 bricks - $SOLD shipped (tested in my Rimx, hence the R)

Would do face to face within an hour of Nashville. I also will be shooting the X Match at Boaz, KY, on 9/13.

This, per Newsmax this morning.

I'd love to see more of his type "retire,' but the question is are we talking "frying pan ---> Fire" scenarios? Could whoever succeeds him be even worse? I can't believe he'd retire if there was any concern that a GOP Senator could actually flip the seat. Look at Sen. Feinstein.

Edit: Apparently, neither will Sen. Joni Ernst. Hmmmmmm.....

up those who might roll with minimal pressure. Seems many elected & appointed that were involved in Russia gate are now all in dire need of medical. While their underlings now seem to be dying off in many different ways. The odds of all of this happening in such a short time frame, is off the charts.

Glad that self centered bitch is gone. Pray others of that ink follow.

I have been looking for dealers for Sako. I am interested in the s20 series for hunting. On the Sako website it lists their dealers except the ones I have called do not have Sako and do not know that they are listed as dealers. They do have Tikka. A couple of online outlets list them but not in stock. Anyone know of dealers that have stock?

I was a bit of a late bloomer when it came to attending concerts. Growing up I was never allowed to go to any shows being in a devout Catholic family because of... let's just call them religious "reasons".

That said- I still remember my first concert, it was the "Pop Disaster" tour in... 2002(?). The headliner was Green Day (this was before the American Idiot album came out), the opening act was "Saves the DaY" and the mid act was the actual band I wanted to see above all else, Blink 182.

As time went on- I spent a considerable amount of my life as a self proclaimed concert whore. It used to be "pit tickets or bust" I was there when a mosh pit broke out at a Korn concert and we stood at attention in front of the 1st SGT because one had a broken collar bone & another had a black eye that looked like he went a round or two with Mike Tyson.

I was there when Papa Roach wasn't on the ticket but they did a surprise appearance in a concert opened by "Burn Halo" and headlined by "Avenged Sevenfold" I happened to pick the "right" bar that night after the show to have a few drinks with Avenged Sevenfold one on one and didn't realize that the whole time I was bullshitting with them they had a guy "inviting/snagging" every attractive woman in the bar to party with them in a reserved room upstairs (I was not invited upstairs with them and was left with the downstairs sausage party)

I saw "Flyleaf" in the Theatre of the Living Arts during a time when they were unknown and touring with "Smile Empty Soul" & "Cold". They were the opening act and this 5' nothing lead singer came out and we are all asking "WTF" and let me tell you this woman had some lungs on her. We ended up talking to the band afterwards and bought their CD literally out of the trunk of their car. We thought we'd get an invite to an afterparty because things were going so well- whelp it wasn't initially obvious but they're a christian rock band so... yeah that didn't work out.

I was there at the 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Buckcherry concert. One of the best battle buddies you could have asked for wore a shirt with a stick figure depiction of a stripper on a pole with the text underneath saying "I support single moms" and a chick literally purchased the shirt off of his back in exchange for a concert T & some extra cash while our "DD" drowned himself in Jack & Cokes.

I remember when the roles reversed and I had to be "that" battle buddy for someone else. I had whored myself out often enough that I got "insider" offers from Live Nation. So during the Dark Horse Tour with Nickelback, Seether & Saving Able. That tour was sold out but I bought enough concert tickets by that point I was able to snag pit tickets last minute for my battle & me in Atlanta. I also met some folks that night in the Pit which put my life trajectory on a completely different path.

I was at Warped Tour (either '04 or '05) in Camden, NJ where it was so hot that they called the fire department in and they literally hosed down the crowd. Problem was this was all set up on a giant parking lot and the humidity that followed was unbearable. To this day I can no longer drink Powerade without it triggering a gag reflex. God that ended up being miserable towards the end.

I was there holding tickets to finally see Linkin Park in Hershey, PA after years of wanting to see them only to have Chester off himself shortly before that concert. That one hurt, not so much because of the tickets I had, but I just really liked Linkin Park & that left a hole in my life.

I was there to finally see the band Sevendust for the first time and being completely shocked that the lead singer was black. I saw Bowling for Soup at the same venue shortly afterwards and had the lead singer of the opening act want to pick a physical fight with me because I didn't give a crap about them/their band and just wanted to watch BFS.


Around 20 years or so ago- I was supposed to see the band Something Corporate, and the lead singer got diagnosed with cancer shortly afterwards.... fast forward 15 years or so ago, my wife's bestie won some sort of competition and got to meet Andrew McMahon in Harrisburg and she brought my wife along for her "+1" and I ended up with his autograph...that one meant an awful lot to me.

I could keep going on but I have a lot of stories with the concerts I've attended and how they've unexpectedly altered my life path. It's wild looking back how choosing to attend a concert would end up making such a profound difference in my life & the path I'd take afterwards.

Anyone else have a similar story/experience?
