    M1a

    Re: M1a I was in the same boat a month ago. I was looking at the Polytech as a way to save some money. In the end, I determined it wasn't worth the $200-$300 savings. I bought a Springfield instead.

    Gunsmithing .300 Rem Ultra Mag to .416 Rigby Conversion

    Re: .300 Rem Ultra Mag to .416 Rigby Conversion The COAL of the Rigby is 3.75". It's more than a 1/8" longer than the 300 UM. If it could be done, the action might have to be opened up in the bottom, custom magazine, maybe the port will have to be opened to eject loaded cartridges. Sell...

    Gunsmithing Risks with Second Hand Rifle

    Re: Risks with Second Hand Rifle I have never heard of a 'factory second' rifle. It might turn out to be a good deal, and I hope it does, but paying $800-$900 for a potential donor gun if accuracy isn't acceptable is false economy.

    Re: Yet another knife question..... You need to figure out what you will be doing with the knife. Utility to me is using it in any way, shape or form. That means up to and including batoning. The Nim Cub thatg is mentioned is way to thin blade wise. K-Bars will stand up to that abuse, if...
