    Need M22 TCM 9mm Conversion Experienced Gunsmith

    I found one for $600 (synthetic stock version), which didn't seem too bad given inflation and that these don't seem to have been imported in around 10 years. It was at a Cabelas, so there weren't any additional shipping/FFL fees. Guns International basically lets you hit on all the Cabelas used...

    Need M22 TCM 9mm Conversion Experienced Gunsmith

    I just set up an alert on Guns International for the rifle. They show up every few months, usually at not too crazy of prices because most folks don't want them. Just crazy that RIA never sold a 9mm version.

    9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

    Bohem - you're about to create a whole new sport - PCB - Pistol Caliber Bolt. All of a sudden you can have awesome fun even if you only have access to a 200 meter range. Of the TL3/Origin/Nucleus, which do you recommend? Because I'm going to buy one and get this project moving. Also - trying...

    9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

    Hey Bohem, I've got a Green Mountain blank in hand, for 9mm. Let us know what we need to source in parts to make this happen. Rem 700 pattern is great. I assume the bolt itself is a custom affair?

    Geissele Mid Range Gas Gun for the low price of $6,500

    AI-AT is a good comparison. Where you have gnat's ass accuracy, quick change barrel, just a bulletproof system. Or a Geissele gasser... I'm just assuming they are trying the KAC approach at this point- fulfill gov contracts, sell the scraps at contract prices to the cloners.

    Geissele Mid Range Gas Gun for the low price of $6,500

    Think the question will be if they can outshoot an SR25 at ~2 pounds less weight. They seem to be testing the market with the gov contract prices, much like Barrett did with the MRADs (which went okay for Barrett since they intentionally kept supply low). Except you don't get the parts and...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I don't have an Osprey. I've been really happy with the Rock Creek prefits that I've purchased over the years. If I timed the sale, I was in for around $500, which seemed fair for a prefit, especially given all the options that they have programed in over at PVA. I don't need an Osprey. I'm...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Only Osprey barrels anymore? I'm looking for a Rock Creek, etc, .223 1:8. Not seeing anything like that anymore. I LOVE my current .223 PVA, but I think it will be shot out relatively soon.

    Trigger tech tikka trigger info?

    I'm just assuming single stage is what made more sense mechanically. They have to know that most of their customer base would prefer two stage.

    Springfield Waypoint—an owner's story of disappointment and abject failure

    You're being obtuse. Catastrophic means that the process of the part failing caused other parts to be damaged or fail, or the shooter to become injured. This wasn't catastrophic, it was a pretty basic mechanical failure, isolated solely to the failing part, and why a lot of guys take second...

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    I think 1:9 is great. Should work well for 50 to 75 grains. 1:8 or 1:7 let you go super heavy (80+), but honestly, it starts to get a little ridiculous in .223 with the amount of powder you have available. 1:7 was only the 5.56 standard because of the super long tracer rounds.
