Still available?

I was able to get 6.5 barrels through eurooptic. It may take some time. I think the 223 is going to be harder than getting a 6.5 done. Now that I actually think it through, the bolt face will need to be welded and recut. A magazine insert would need to be sorted out too. I will start asking at...

I didn't have any luck with that. Had a conversation with a couple smiths who declined to do it. Metallurgy/heat treating was an issue.

So informal poll here. How many of you with M10s would be interested in a .223 conversion kit. I am going to ping a couple smiths to see if anyone would be willing to do one. They may be more interested if a few of us would want them. Don't forget, you would have to either find an extension or...

Here is how it looked before Shortbus's paint job. He is a magician.

As requested. This started life as one of the black 20" 308s that Eurooptic was selling. It is wearing a 26" 308 barrel. It really loves 185 Juggernauts and 175 TMKs. I have most of the other calibers. I will be spending tomorrow working up a 300 Norma load. The Paint was done by the mighty...

Get it while you can...

Moderators, please make it a sticky? No love for the TRG?

I found one for substantially less than 13K Euro. Christ declined to give me strength and I am divorced so..... They are around used if you look. It is a very nice platform. I love shooting it. It fits me well. The Sako trigger is hard to beat. The downside is that all the accessories are quite...

And I should read the whole thread before I reply :-\

I had CDN bottom metal made some years ago. Unfortunately, the guy passed. The action is similar to a T3 but not identical. A good smith may be able to do something for you. You can still get magazines for the 595s at Beretta...

I found this article informative. https://midsouthshotreport.com/2023/08/08/powder-the-push-behind-the-bullet/ Discusses a fair bit of history but there is some useful practical information as well.
