A couple of things to keep in mind. 1) the tooling is going to cost more than the machine. Start slow. 2) To all the folks saying old American iron. Where are you going to get parts? I have a 14" Logan, 1963. Owned by two hobbyists. absolutely perfect. And you can still get parts from...

Thanks for the info. My doc a year or so back said I had the beginnings of a cataract (God, does this aging crap get any better?) He said about 10 years till it was a problem but better go back and ask in regards to LASIK. I won't be able to blame the glasses anymore but have a floater or two...

My eyes are mature...OK, old. I wear bi-focal contacts and reading glasses too if the light is dim. I'm thinking about getting LASIK. I realize I'll have to use reading glasses. Question is, will I be able to use my scope without glasses? Chris

Look at the Weaver scope (3-10) offer by Midway. Not sure of the model # buts its MIL/MIL and $299.99 delivered. Love my two. Weaver Tactical Grand Slam Rifle Scope 3-10x 40mm 1/10 Mil Adjustments chris

Nothing like taking 2 years to answer this but "no" the dimensions aren't even close. Standard 700 has its lugs at the nose of the bolt. A 40-X has its lugs half way back. No way to interchange.

Its a matter of opinion. What do you want? Identical feel to your AR with best possible accuracy? Go with a dedicated upper. I bought barrels from a guy named Khrul and put them together. He's out of business now but there are others who make barrels and conversion assemblies. 1:16 is the...

Check Clay Spencer. Spencer Rifle Barrels Scotsville, VA. Built a real tack driver for me. His barrels are out of this world, actually ours as he specializes in 1,000 yd bench rest rifles. Provide the action, bottom metal, and stock and he'll turn around in 6 weeks or so.

Any other suggestions?

I'm shooting a Rem 700 in 6.5 Lapua in a dusty environment. It currently has a Jewell trigger. The dust isn't as powdery as in the Sandbox but fine none the less. At the end of the day, last round, squeeze the trigger...and nothing. It doesn't even feel like the sear cocked. I did some...

Check out youtube. Lots of great stuff to getyou thinking. Practice threading on PVC pipe. Cheaper than steel. Check out Tublecain videos or just look for barrel chambering, etc. The Hinnant book is another thing you can't be without. Chris

CZ452 Varmit. Generally around $400-450. Worth every penny. Get a Tacticool stock from Boyd's and you're set. Check the used guns on rimfire sites like rimfirecentral.com Chris

Spend $100 more and get this scope from Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/598484/weaver-tactical-grand-slam-rifle-scope-3-10x-40mm-1-10-mil-adjustments-mil-dot-reticle-matte As good as my Premier? No. Better at 1/1oth the price? You bet. I have two of these on .22s and they...

Re: Starting first quasi-Precision build, AR10 Hey crazymgb, Here's the thread I was looking for. Enjoy: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_121/51613...ere_first_.html 20 some pages and growing. The Mega Upper an lower combination is the ultimate. Chris

Re: Starting first quasi-Precision build, AR10 Slide over to AR15.com Look at http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_121/586413_AR_308_build.html Try looking for something about Mega Builds. Good luck finding anything as their search engine sucks. Chris
