Re: 338 Lapua Brake... +1 on the APA FB Brake- they aren't that big normally, but he has the capability to make such an monster and it would be even more effective than the standard size...

Re: 1/2x24 Barrel Threading Ruin Accuracy? I've never had a barrel lose accuracy after I've threaded it. Personally, I'm not a fan of how small barrel tenons are for a given caliber, but the dimensions are proven and do work fine. There are a lot of things that can be accidentally done to a...
