    280 remington still a solid round?

    Wow it's been years since I have been here. Priorities always changing. I am in the middle of a 280AI hunting rifle build, today I blueprinted a LA 700 action I purchased years ago. It turns out to have been made in 1963 and is in like new condition. I was amazed at the old style trigger on it...

    DIY Scope Zero Stop

    This has been done before but I haven't seen it posted here. I have a few Leupold MK IV's and decided to put some zero stops on the elevation turrets. There are several ways of doing this and I just decided to turn some shims out of aluminum...

    Extended bolt handle for CZ455?

    It requires more work on my part. There is a void where the thread tenon should be. One of the handles in my picture above was one wit the hole in it.

    Extended bolt handle for CZ455?

    Been out of pocket for about 10 months now. Going to resume CZ conversions on a limited basis. Yes I have been told about the Glades Armory handle having less scope clearance than the factory. CZ has addressed the clearance problem with reshaping the current bolt handle though it has the hole in...

    Remington SPS 300 Blackout – Worth Having?

    Started out a few years ago with a 8" AR SBR in 300BO with shooting strickly subs suppressed in mind. It worked out perfectly and is presently tore down for some Cerakoting. After that I had intentions of building a bolt rifle in the blackout but eventually found a M700 that was too good to pass...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake on small dia barrel

    There is no doubt that it can be done. Lex Webernick of RiflesInc builds some very lightweight rifles up to and including .375 cal. with pencil thin barrels that have MB's installed. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Sounds as if the Harrells is a good option being it's readily available.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake on small dia barrel

    I am far from a expert but here are my thoughts without a lot of thinking this morning........... It's best to have a shoulder for the brake to mate with which actually aligns it. Since the barrel is .506" that would rule out 1/2x28tpi. The next somewhat standard size would be 7/16x28tpi...

    boydes stock on savage

    This is a factory Savage laminate which most likely is made by Boyd's . It was ok but now much better after I made and installed my own adjustable hardware. Not real hip with laminates but it is growing on me. Can't say what style this one is called.

    Rifle Camo, why? (Can of worms)

    It's really what a person likes or dislikes............. some like fords and some chevys while others prefer dodge. I love plain vanilla ice cream while strawberry does nothing for me. I like digital so I have done a few of mine in that theme. Some wont like it but I could give a...

    A CZ 455 Shorty.......pics inside

    I machined two areas so I would not have to mess with the taper and yet center the tube over the barrel. One in front of the chamber tennon, (cut just a few thousandths off to get a parallel surface) and the other just behind the muzzle threads. Made a couple of aluminum bosses that fit snuggly...

    A CZ 455 Shorty.......pics inside

    Though the actual barrel is short, being that the shroud is pinned and welded and is not removable this combination is not an NFA item due to the overall length being over 16 inches.

    gun stock painting with 2 parts epoxy?

    Duracoat is hard to beat just for the shear colors it comes in and it's pretty durable too. Here is my turkey gun I did with it. ....and another digital I call the green monster.

    A CZ 455 Shorty.......pics inside

    I had the factory American 22 lr barrel left over from my build and decided to do a little tinkering yesterday. Cut the barrel down to 9ish inches threaded and gave it a new crown. Made up an aluminum 16.1" long shroud and installed it permanently over the barrel. The AAC Prodigy fits in...

    Chainsaw brand??

    I had heard the word Stihl associated with the best chainsaws all my life. With that in mind I went the a dealer 10 years ago with the idea of purchasing 3 saws. Was greeted by a sales person and stated I wanted the best chainsaws they had and money was no object. When he passed over the Stihl...
