    clip slot and thumb cut relief

    I'm pretty sure Chad can cut smiley faces in your reciever if you want them. 😆 At the end of the day, the task of clip slotting is probably almost child's play for a CNC machinist of his level. He just needs the specs. The Vietnam era M40 and the later M40A1 probably have some variations.

    17HMR for P-dog hunting

    You don't want a short barrel on a cartridge built for speed. Not that any modern factory made rimfire is remotely heavy or overly long in the first place compared to our match rifles. Keep the barrel as long as possible to keep the speed up. Most guys aren't really walking p-dog colonies...

    Is the .17HMR really much better than .22LR for varmints?

    No offense to you...but that stock is about the worst design ever made. Too many issues to list.

    B14r feeding issues

    The soft side of stick on velcro tape. Cut a 1/2" to 1" piece and slap it on the mag body to try and fill the void. Or get a couple of mags. Mine does same thing with 2 older mags. One works just fine.

    Is the .17HMR really much better than .22LR for varmints?

    I shot 17HMR a ton when it first came out. Bought a couple cases of ammo when you could get it for $5.99 a box. Shot prairie dogs, coons, jack rabbits, and a bunch of smaller stuff. Even got a coyote in the middle of a blizzard at night with it at like 200 to 250-ish Hail Mary shot...

    Help me create a training day

    Go to NRL22 or similar type rimfire match and see how they are ran....and actually read their organizational rule book.. What you wanna do is exactly what that format is but without an active scorekeeper necessarily. The shooters themselves, the squads themselves and the Match Director all...

    40XB 22LF Stock Suggestions

    Careful....ARA specifically states 40X's are not factory class rifles. Learned just recently that my 52B is also not applicable. Basically any rimfire rifle with true hardcore target shooting pedigree (even left original) is an Unlimited gun. Dumb....but whatever....I get it. They want a...

    40XB 22LF Stock Suggestions

    The easy button option would be a chassis. Since they are solid single shot recievers ....putting them in traditional BDL style 700 SA stocks would require you use a bottom metal or a hinged floorplate with the spring and follower removed. Or having a custom stock fitted or made. Not sure...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Had a beautiful summer weekend. The plan is to get some 10 round mags so I can stay on the gun longer. Keep breaking position to reload the 5 round mag (plus putting one in the snout) doesn't help....trying to keep on it just that little bit longer. Keeping heat in the gun. Shooting on the...

    What Anschutz is this?

    That's just an adjustable objective (AO) parallax. Versus having side parallax. AO has been around forever.

    Accuracy of CZ 457 Varmint 22LR non MTR

    Even if your 457 varmint sucks. Lilja and couple others offer drop in barrels. So the chase isn't over by a long shot.

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    You'd think the POTUS himself would want the actual investigation made public and concluded....with all the layers of incompetence outed/punished. Not to mention the shooter deeply delved into.

    Unlike Honey Bees, Hornets sting, and sting, and sting….

    I would be looking for every hollow point subsonic round made.

    Long range 22 LR

    Not a CZ 457 or 455. They have easy to swap out barrels. You can convert to .22lr, .22WMR, .17M2, or 17HMR with just a corresponding barrel and magazine if going to the magnums from standard. You could probably find factory barrels on gunbroker. And Lilja makes aftermarket ones.

    Deal price on b14r heavy barreled action

    Not even remotely close. If you saved $300 on the getting the Stainless at the dramatic discount. Just go buy a KRG bravo. You'd still be ahead of the guys who bought carbons and chrome moly steel versions.
