    PWS T3 with a Kidd barrel?

    Dunno yet how it'll work out since the receiver/barrel are still at the 'smith's for fitting. Even after I get them back, though, it'll be a while until range time since I haven't yet decided on or purchased a stock and scope/rings and those will be a bit ($$$$ truck repairs + student loan...

    PWS T3 with a Kidd barrel?

    It's kind of a moot point now--a gunsmith friend from another forum said he'll fit the barrel for $45+return shipping so that's cheap enough I'm not going to dick around with it anymore and just send him the parts+a M.O. instead...

    PWS T3 with a Kidd barrel?

    I bought the Kidd tube and trigger for my T3 build and while the trigger popped right in, I can't get the the barrel and action to fit together properly (or at all, actually). The T3 is supposed to be compatible with all 10/22 parts but I can't get the Kidd tube to fit more than 1/4" or so into...

    PWS T3 with a Kidd barrel?

    I have a PWS T3 Summit action on the shelf for which I've started ordering components and I may have just screwed up but want to check here before I get really concerned. Seeing as how they're the bee's knees of .22LR 10/22 barrels, I ordered a Kidd 16.5" stainless bull barrel but just now saw...

    Barrel for a PWS T3 action?

    Good to hear--I know PWS says their actions are compatible with all 10/22 accessories (to include barrels) but my feeble little mind couldn't figure out how the dual extractors would work with a single-extractor-cut barrel. I'll most likely go with a threaded 16.5" barrel since I'm generally a...

    Barrel for a PWS T3 action?

    Can anyone recommend a barrel, other than the PWS tube, that works well with a PWS T3 Summit action? I bought one a couple weeks ago to build into a suppressor host for on-the-sneak squirrel assassination but since the T3 has dual extractors I'm not sure if any old 10/22 barrel will work or if...

    RFI: Chattanooga, TN

    Yep--I lived in Great Falls for a while and loved it but it's just too damned far from family--20 years away is enough.

    RFI: Chattanooga, TN

    HH6 and I have been talking more about where we might settle when she retires from the AF since her year group/AFSC are on the "eligible" list to get out effective 1 Aug or 1 Sept of next year. She's gotten curious about Chattanooga, TN (so have I) so I'm hoping for some opinions of folks in...

    Which rifle would you "Pull out all the stops" to buy?

    Family legend has it that one of my ancestors crossed the Delaware with General Washington and, given that he was for-sure in the militia from Bucks County PA (lived 15-20 miles from Washington's Crossing), that's a credible story in the absence of a definitive list of men who made the crossing...

    Hearing protection?

    I finally sprung for a set of behind-the-head (regular over-the-head earpro wouldnt fit my planetoid-sized noggin) TCI DEHP's with gel ear seals about 1 1/2 years ago and when I got to using them, all I could think was "why the hell did I wait so long?" They're verrrry comfortable, block enough...
