    Gunsmithing Modifying fiberglass "USGI" stock... Fun fun...

    After putting much work into modifying and repairing a beat-up USGI walnut stock, I realized sinking QD sling sockets in the side might be a bad idea. It was suggested I get a fiberglass model, and I found one on Gunbroker for a decent price. Although I've come to question the claim of "USGI,"...

    Gunsmithing Installing QD sling sockets in GI M1A stock...

    New plan: The cups are 1/2" dia. by 1/2" deep, but the loop studs only protrude 11/32", with a diameter of 3/8" . To remove as little material as possible from the stock, I am considering milling the bottom 1/4" off of the cups (leaving a ring to actually retain the loop), drilling a 3/8" inch...

    Gunsmithing Installing QD sling sockets in GI M1A stock...

    Well, I've got a USGI fiberglass model on the way, but I've still got concerns. The main one is that unless the new stock is considerably wider than the wood stock, then the QD cups are still going to have to extend into the barrel channel, will this hurt the integrity of the stock or affect the...

    Gunsmithing Installing QD sling sockets in GI M1A stock...

    I've been modifying a walnut GI stock for an M1A, and I decided to put some Uncle Mike's QD Sockets in the sides. When I measured the cups, they're either going to have to stick out of the stock, or I'll have to drill all the way through and have them stick into the barrel channel. They wouldn't...

    Gunsmithing Who does good parkerizing? And what about chrome?

    Re: Who does good parkerizing? And what about chrome? I've been looking for a chrome 6.8 bolt, and can't find one. if you know where I could find one, I'd appreciate the lead. As for the Parkerizing, I haven't seen the color of the 590 yet; it's sitting in a box, waiting for me to get home...

    Gunsmithing Who does good parkerizing? And what about chrome?

    I've got an some parts I'd like to have Parkerized to match my Mossberg 590. I thought about doing it myself, but I'd rather have it done right. I'm looking for some one who does good parkerizing, with a decent turnaround time. I also have a chrome Bolt Carrier group in a 6.8 AR, and I'd like...

    Remington factory action/barrel quality...

    Re: Remington factory action/barrel quality... Thanks for all the responses! I'm really just getting started with shooting longer ranges, I'm an AR guy. My intention with this rifle is to get it right the first time; so there won't have to be a next time. I'll get it trued and see what it...

    Remington factory action/barrel quality...

    I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan, and I decided awhile back to start my first precision rifle build. A friend recommended a Remington 700 LTR, and I went ahead and bought one. I've since been dumping money into parts and upgrades, and I'm starting to wonder: Is it worth it to put almost...

    Gunsmithing Colorado Springs, CO - Gunsmith needed

    Re: Colorado Springs, CO - Gunsmith needed High Tech Customs has a little bit of good press, but I can't find anyone who's dealt with them personally. I was looking for someone to build my rifle in the Springs, but it seems like there's not a whole lot of guys locally.

    Gunsmithing Replacing a muzzle break on Bushmaster?

    Re: Replacing a muzzle break on Bushmaster? I tried to remove it myself on my XM-15. After ruining half the threading, I thought loctite 638 would be an adequate solution. And after launching a Surefire supressor like a rifle grenade, I was out about fifteen-hundred dollars. Learn from my...

    Thoughts on Versa-Pod...?

    Thinking of ordering my stock with a Versa-Pod installed. I was wondering if anyone with some experience with one could give me some pros/cons; maybe compare it to Harris/sling stud setup. Thanks!

    AR-15 Thumbhole stocks...?

    Does anyone make'em anymore? I've been searching around, but all the links I've found have been for the discontinued Bell & Carlson. I'd like to put one on my 6.8, and if anyone knows where to find one, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
