Jon thanks for the first hand feedback its nice to here from some one who actually handled one. Does the upper and lower seem solid enough to take a lifetime of beating from .300WM? Also did you get any pictures you care to share or does anybody else, not off the website?

Brining this thread back from the dead... Looks to be over a year since this was originally posted, enough time for the company to get some rifles out into the market ... SO has anyone shot this rifle yet? Can anyone give a range report? Or any first hand experience with this rifle? Thanks in...

Re: McGowen Barrel issues Yes have had issues with mcgowen in turn around time and quality of workmenship on some barrels, i.e the threads looked like they were cut with a dremel..

Re: .5.56 surplus in a .223 mini14, safe or not? Rule of thumb: shoot whats stamped on the barrel.

Re: Hornady Concentricity Gage +1 For the Hornady Concentricity Gauge. Why not get one more tool that helps eliminate possible issues. I have noticed an increase in accuracy with my rifle after checking facotry and reloaded rounds. You would be surprised everyonce in awhile when you find...

Re: Civil War Cannon Accuracy... Balls and F'ing huge ones at that to walk across a field with something like that pointed at you and then being able to see the poof of smoke and hope its not you...very impressive with the accuracy of that cannon.
