Re: ARPA-MPAT Camoed up Manners stocks I suppose practice makes perfect, but I think they look great now. Just think what your stuff will look like in the future. Great job!

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Great looking pic's, thanks for keeping me in the loop. I have complete faith in you building this. If I would have had any doubts I wouldn't have sent it to you. Just for everyone else out there looking, Jon is one of the best I have talked to...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Sorry I have not replied in a while but things have been very hectic. Thanks to all for the suggestions and I did a lot talking with a lot of smiths. Yes, I did find one, Jon Addis of Area 419 Firearms. Maybe not as well known as some I talked to...

Re: 260 Breeze, Could you send me some closer pic's of the paint scheme on the metal (not to close though I want to see it with your Sentinel). Right now that is my hardest and pretty much final decision to make. Your metal colors look very good with your Sentinel, thanks...

Re: 260 Breeze, I am building a very similar rifle. I have a Sentinel stock on order and my camo color seems to be very similar to yours. I won't know for sure until it is done(According to Terry C. the color patterns are kinda like a fingerprint, no 2 are the same, even with the same...

Re: pre workout Newbie here to both the Hide and to this thread. I have reached the inevitable big 40 and with kids and all sorts of lifestyle changes lets just say I am not quite the same as I used to be. Can anyone suggest a pre workout and for that matter a workout for someone my age. I...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Timelines are important to me but with the wait time on my stock being 3-4 months, I can live with most of the quoted time frames. Most of the smiths I chatted with gave me time frames of 3-4 months. There were a few that were way out there (8-10)...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build I am absolutely thankful for the honesty of the smiths that I have personally talked with. What a great bunch of guys they are too. Very helpful, and best of all they were not trying to impress on me how good they are and being derogatory about...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Jig stick---I do have a couple local and semi local (within 5hrs.) in mind. I just wanted to look at all my options and see if sending it away to a more well known smith was gaining me anything (other than the name). I am not familiar with Dave...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build The info so far has been spot on guys. Even before I started this thread I had talked to several of the recommended smiths and they were simply just to busy. That is why I started the thread, to see who is accepting work, and the feedback from the...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Excellent info guys, Thanks a lot. As for what part of PA, eastern. I am located about 1 hr. east of the ohio line on I-80. I got done with work early today so I plan on calling these folks today. Thanks

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Jeffvn, looks like I have chosen some good ones but I am striking out so far. I also talked with Terry Cross, he is going to build my stock but he cannot help me with the build beyond that. He too is very busy.

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build Thanks a lot Big Joe. That list will help. I know what you mean, I just didn't word it right. I understand they are all good at what they do, I just thought Hide members might have personal opinions they might share. I had looked at Kampfield...

Re: Looking for a Smith for a tact. build I have been planning this build for near 5 yrs. The last 2 have been nothing but research. Now that it has actually started I have been on here and other sites every night after work and I agree there are names that keep coming up and there are...

The time is finally here. I have my Surgeon, the barrel is on the way, and now I need a great Smith to make it a reality. Anybody have any suggestions on who to use to barrel the receiver. There will be other work involved, the action is new but I think it needs lapped or something because it...
