I got a Rem M7 Rem 260 w/ a Nikon 3x9x50 scope on a lend a friend money act. Love the cal. pd $400 w/a $310 scope on top! Knowing what the Rem 260 is- I want a BBL and full size stoct to shoot 300 yd+ game shots. Jump in! I reload for 30 + cals 40+ yrs so not a FNG to the drill. THanks

Re: Machine gun brass?? For reasons of reliability MG chambers are not very "tight" They need to feed and extract lots of hot brass VDQ. RCBS (I know) makes a small base resizing die specifically for resizing brass fired in "military chambered" weapons. I reload my brass from an HK91, which...

Re: PTR-91 Dirty Rod- I'll have to hook up my digital camera and take the shot for you. I can't remember where I got my mount, I think I was just surfing stuff like "HK-91 Gun Parts" on Google and found a picture of it in an on-line catalog. My rail is flat on the receiver, just the height...

Re: PTR-91 I don't have a PTR, I have an real HK91. I added the brass deflector w/ the rubber pad and now my brass, while marked with the chamber lines, is not damaged. The next thing I added was a very low profile Picatinny rail mount attached via set screws to the upper receiver. This is...

I have access to a variety of semiauto platforms that vary from as heavy as an almost new HK91 in 308 to a Kel-Tec SU16 which will almost fit in some range bags. I know it is not a do-all end-all AR platform but what I have experienced with the one I have fitted with a Bushnell Holo-sight- it...

Re: .308 1/10 or 1/12 help please I got into the 1/10 vs 1/12 issue in another post and started looking for barrels from all the major suppliers. The vast majority were 1/10s, the 1/12s were almost a special order item when you talked with them on the phone, and they all said 98% of...

Re: Model seven Please clarify something for me. I have M-7 in .260 Rem. I have an Original .221 Fireball pistol. While I was in a local Sporting Goods Store talking about rebarreling rifles, I was told the the Rem-600 action(.221 Fireball) is the same as the Rem M-7 action(.260 Rem)...

Re: Dremel tools A Dremel Tool is very useful, but as mentioned above, it can run away from you quickly. My best friend, (now deceased) MSGT Paul Musser, of the USAF Marksmanship Unit(Circa 1970s) rigged his Dremel Tool with a common Singer Sewing MAchine Treadle/Pedal, and thereby...

Re: Gunsmith for dummies? As a Firearms Instructor for a State Police agency, I enrolled in an On-Line Gunsmith Course thru Thompson University. Myself and the local Sheriff Dept Rangemaster took the course together. Between my State Agency and the County agency(major SE USA City)we had...

Re: Gunsmith for dummies? All joking aside, the BFH is a very important tool. I was given a semi-auto pistol one of my Captain's girl friends owned that he reassembled incorrectly after cleaning it. I couldn't fix it so I took i to the local "friend of the agency" gunsmith. After about 30...

Re: Krylon and Sponge Painting???? Just FYI for wood stock owners. Your local paint store has dozens of shades of wood stain. I have a Mauser 98 30-06 in a Bishop Stock that shoots so well ( Dev-Con Bedded by USAF MArksmanship Unit, with a unknown custom barrel), that I treated it to a...

Re: Primer Age? They should be fine. I have some from the 70's I bought when I was shooting/reloading a lot and still use them w/o issues. They were about $12/15 per K. Last Gunshow I some for $60 per K! Gold hasn't gone up that much!

Re: Remington model 700 SPS in a 308 Did more research after reading the other posts. The Rem may be a 1/12, but I found so many other ideas it will just be up to you! 1/10 will stabalize up to 220gr. bullets just fine, and according to the Shilen Barrel site, the slower the twist the...

Re: Gunsmiths You Are Impressed With Holcomb Kearns, Tallassee, AL The Gunworks 334-252-1939. Great General service gunsmith. He teaches at the local FBI Firearms Instructor Courses on the S&W revolvers. Local Armorer to several State Police agencies. Taught Rem 11-87 Armorer Course to...

Re: Remington model 700 SPS in a 308 I think most commercial .308s are 1/10". H/s makes maultiple stocks for Rem 700s. Trigger adjust? Truthfully, the one I have (got in a trade) is sweet, very crisp, never considered fooling with it. Groups- find the bullet/power/primer combo the gun likes...
