I've had several good experiences with them. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

You might want to look into James River Armory. They do a new "Rock-ola" M14 built on a forged receiver with GI parts. Very well built "as issued" rifles at about $2200.

That is what I was thinking, but it seems that everything I've seen that was bedded by a gunsmith in the seventies was "over bedded" as in THE WHOLE THING from the front of the barrel inlet to the rear mounting screw. It is a simple bed done really well in this stock, which is what led me to...

I found a 1971 Remington ADL .308 at the local gun shop today and I bought it. I took the action out of the stock as I was investigating the extent of some surface rust. When it came out I was pleased to find the rust was minimal, and I found that the lug has been bedded to the factory walnut...

Much less palm swell on the McMillan than most of the HS stocks.

Re: pistol grip hole missing in 308 lower I have sent you a PM with some info on local guys who could do this for you if you decide to have a gunsmith handle it.

Re: Who is the king of cerakote My vote is for Ernie with Red Creek Tactical. He has done a great job on the guns I have taken to him, and the other work I've seen from his shop is absolutely top-notch. He has won application awards from ceracote, and is a certified applicator. His camo is...

Re: The wife's rifle? Thanks guys (and gals), I think if I went after a build similar to LegioX's build, but put it on a diet (no night optic mount, use a leupold or vortex optic etc.) I would be real close to the weight goal. The sr15match rifle is close - maybe add two inches of barrel...

Re: The wife's rifle? Thanks for the female input! To have her get some experience hefting and feeling the gun is great advice. I think I'm going to collect several rifles from friends to have her shoot before we get to far down the road with the build, particularly the stock. We just...
