    Need suggestions for blown out primers/bolt face damage

    I would start with what Rob said regarding a good cleaning and ensuring your bullets aren't getting jammed into the lands based on how the chamber was cut. Another possibility... It may not be the gun at all. I had a very similar experience with my 260 about 3 years ago. Blowing primers and...

    Best subsonic round out to 200 yards

    I've done some interesting things with a 223 bolt gun and downloading it to subsonic using pistol powder and varmint bullets like the Vmax. Never shot it out to 200yds but it did well at 100yds on groundhogs. Message me if you want more info. Hesitant to post anything here since it's...

    3D Print McMillan Spacers

    I need a few McMillan A5 LOP spacers and every time I go to their website to buy them nothing is available. Pretty simple geometry. Can anyone on here 3D print these?

    SECNAV Remington Model 720

    Ok guys, here's the story which I already told lonegunman76 on IM. Pictures will follow (assuming I can do it correctly...) This rifle has a bit more sentimental value for me rather than just a prize for winning a rifle competition. I graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1995 and won the...

    SECNAV Remington Model 720

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. Since this group can certainly appreciate these older pieces of history, I'll take some pictures and tell the story behind it. Just need to relearn how to post pics. Haven't done it for a while and certainly not using this new server format, at least compared...

    SECNAV Remington Model 720

    So, I pulled it out this morning to confirm some of the information. I do have the 1348. Serial number indicates it was manufactured in 1943. Canon and armorer's stamp is on the stock. Only box I have is the Remington box it came in with some stamped information on the outside using military...

    SECNAV Remington Model 720

    Gents, wanted to get some input from the group on a vintage rifle that I have. Back in the day, I had the fortunate pleasure of winning a SECNAV Remington Model 720 Trophy Rifle. I've never shot it (don't intend to either) and it's been in storage for a good while. When I was awarded it, it...

    That was fun with only 1 BB coming at you before but 25 per second is a different ball game:D.

    Full Auto BB Gun Video Ideas

    Do you guys know of any type of firework that could be set off by BBs with that velocity? If so, might be interesting to take them apart and make a bigger version to set off.

    Full Auto BB Gun Video Ideas

    Not sure if this is the right area to post this, but what the hell. Have an odd request for feedback/ideas. A friend of mine works for a large designer and manufacturer of airguns (BB, pellet, pistol, rifle, you name it). They have designed and built a new full auto BB gun that will come out...

    Magpul Pro 700 - why overpriced???

    Since I got the chassis last week, I've gotten everything mounted up but haven't had a chance to shoot it. Too damn cold here and I really don't feel like freezing my nuts off laying prone in the snow. A few thoughts though... I love the looks of it. Personal thing but it's really nice and...
