    Gunsmithing questions on 700vs bolt fit

    I'm looking at purchasing a used Remington 700vs in .223. The gun appears to be in excellent condition, with little or no wear. It does have one odd /confusing feature- the bolt handle rattles. The bolt appears to fit well with no front to rear play, but the bolt handle lifts about 3/16" with...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold M3 turret removal/changing???

    Just got a Leupy with M3 turrets and want to switch out of .223 to the .308. I backed out the set screws. Silly question- Now what? They don't seem to want to twist off or lift off. I don't want to get rammy with it and break it.

    Gunsmithing Barrel threaded 9/16x24- what flashhider?

    I bought a used .308 LTR a couple years ago that was threaded for a can. Until I live in a suppressor friendly state, I'd like to put a flash hider/suppressor on it. I can't find on locally. Any leads on who makes them in this thread pitch? Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Help with stupid question- changing stocks Rem 700

    I've got an extra gun with a cheap stock and I'm having trouble reassembling the gun. Cold be God's way of telling me to get a better stock, but I want to use this one for now.... Gun is a 700P in .223 (nicely chopped to 20.5"), stock is the hogue overmold w/ pillar off a 700AAC. When I...

    .223- buy an LTR or chop a 700P?

    Re: .223- buy an LTR or chop a 700P? OK..... What's the difference with a .223AI (ackley improved?). Not trying to re-invent the wheel or expand my reloading choices/duties. Just want a handy .223 that shoots like a laser. If I chop it, any recommendations on a good smith in the greater...

    Rifle Scopes need to get rid of a scope - VX3 or Vari-X3?

    I've got two varmint rigs (.223 and .22-250), and two scopes. I'm getting rid of the .223 and sticking with the .22-250 for all Varmint hunting with a huge/heavy rifle. Will still whack woodchucks and coyotes with a short lighter .223 (like an LTR) with a lower magnification scope. Question...

    .223- buy an LTR or chop a 700P?

    I want an LTR in .223 Rem. Seems they are like hen's teeth right now. I have a 700P (it's for sale ) and I'm starting to wonder if I should just chop off 6 inches and call it good. Thoughts on this?
