    0 Headspace Chamber?

    For the guy doing the barrel, too short is an easy fix, too long is a little more complex. My opinion, as someone who chambers barrels, it should always close on a go and should always not close on a no go. That’s .004 to work with and in this world, that’s a mile. I’d want it fixed…but I’m...

    Outlier Backdraft - any thoughts?

    I too have been on the fence. I’m intrigued due to the reflex cans definitely have a different tone and to my ear the AB reflex cans are some of the quietest out. Seems to me it’s just a bigger reflex. I have a buddy who knows them and he’s trying to get a demo or a day I can get to the range to...

    Gunsmithing cerakote removal options

    There is a Cerakote called micro slick..works extremely well for those tight raceways, my Cerakote guy talked me into trying it and I’ve been very happy. Yes, he blasts the bolt.

    Let’s talk carbon fiber stocks

    The biggest difference between the 3 stocks you mention are the grips. The Peak44 has a much smaller grip, then the McMillan and then the Pure. It’s personal preference and hard to pick one for someone else.

    Is it ok to use vibra-tite vc-3 for both side of the barrel?

    No…just no. Antisieze of some nature as guys have said. I’m of the opinion red loctite and rock set should be banned in the gun world, everything needs to come off at some point or another and both of those just make things break.

    Entry Level Build after CDG Price Bump

    The Solus has dual ejectors, that’s a deal killer for me. My experience, they pressure up faster and they solve a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s dumb and the engineer that added that to the design should be fired. My 2 cents… I’m in the Origin is pretty hard to beat camp and especially at...

    New Mack Bros Element Action... Impressive!

    If ultralight is your game the Pierce shadow is even lighter than the Mack. Recently, chambered a 6 Creed on a EVO…I was a little disappointed in the top lug engagement but it shot well.

    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    Hawkins Obendorf BDL with Wyatt’s mag and spring. I don’t have the rifle right now as a buddy asked to borrow it, I’ll see what I can come up with when I get it back. Not sure I can get slowmo but should be able to get video.

    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    I’m running an Atlas Tactical in 30 Nosler, great action and I’ve become somewhat of an addict to the mechanical ejector…I’m an retired benchrest guy (Kelbly’s been a staple in that world for decades), which makes me a brass whore…can’t stand them tossed in the dirt unless it’s a necessity. This...

    remove ejectors from aero bolt

    That single design flaw (my opinion) has kept me from buying one. Nothing that uses a 308 bolt face needs two ejectors and in my experience they show pressure sooner. Last one I messed with was a Christensen 28 Nosler. I swore I’d never mess with another one. Never did get the speed it...
