    Shop to paint digital camo on rifle

    Did not realize LRI painted custom camo, thought they only offered their own style paint. How do I find "shortbus", I remember hearing about him but could not think of the name of his shop.

    Shop to paint digital camo on rifle

    Any recommendations for a shop to paint digital camo on a bolt action rifle stock? I found Larson tactical and was wondering if any here had recent experience with them or knew of other options

    Recommendation on tactical QB sleeve for matches

    Looked at the Sunrise site and see there is the original design with straps and the new style G2 without. Is this just a matter of personal preference or is there an application/use the gives the nod to one or the other?

    Recommendation on tactical QB sleeve for matches

    I see a number of precision rifles shooters wearing a range card on their arms to reference dial up settings. Is there a brand/style that is recommended?

    Suggestion for a lightweight barrel with 0.750 muzzle?

    The weight was about 3.1 lbs IIRC but do not seem to have the actual weight of the blank recorded before I threaded, chambered and installed on the gun. A big piece of barrel blank weight is in the shank and I run a 2" "B" length on all my contours and you could drop to a 1.75" to keep the bare...

    Suggestion for a lightweight barrel with 0.750 muzzle?

    I have done this a couple of ways by working with Bartlein who makes all my barrels. As a side note, my barrels are stainless which has some different minimums than carbon steel so my plans accounted for that. Also, my suppressors are all 5/8-24 and I really do not like the 1/2-28 option as it...

    Heavy (long) bullets in 308 size cases - question

    I was not aware of the powder. I see the burn rate is slower than H4350 but it is a ball powder so probably fill better. The load was very compressed when I used H4350 due to the deep seating depth so Staball might give me some FPS. It appears to be newer on the market so there is not a lot of...

    Heavy (long) bullets in 308 size cases - question

    I run 41.5gr of Varget at .015 off the lands for a velocity of 2625fps out of a 22 inch barrel. There is about .100 more room in the magazine so the throat length is the limiting factor. Was just wondering if the throat was longer and I could seat the bullet out further to take advantage of the...

    Heavy (long) bullets in 308 size cases - question

    Assuming your magazine and throat lengths allow. Is there any velocity benefit to seating the bullet further out of the case to create more powder capacity or is it usually a wash in the end because the amount of powder capacity gained is small or pressure signs do not allow you increase powder...

    Suppressors Removing the outer sleeve of a suppressor?

    Thanks for the comments and the PMs...It's an old Templar so no mfg support but it's been a great can for me. Based on some qualified feedback, it appears we have the situation moving forwards and I have been able to remove the sleeve and start the cleaning process.

    Suppressors Removing the outer sleeve of a suppressor?

    Its a center fire suppressor that has 1000's of 22rf rounds through it. Should have been cleaned a long time ago. I thought Kroil would cut it but does not seem to be the case. The screw press in an interesting concept .... any pics of how I might build one of these?

    Suppressors Removing the outer sleeve of a suppressor?

    I have a titianium suppressor that is designed of 3 parts with an internal core, a sleeve and end cap. The cap comes off just fine but I cannot get the sleeve to slide off the core. I have soaked it in Kroil for 2 weeks with no success and am wondering if there is a better product to loosen the...

    Gunsmithing Expert opinion wanted on New barrel freebore (pic)

    So I have looked at a lot of barrels (factory and custom) with my bore scope and this is much more common than people probably think. It is also one of the first things I look at for a barrel that will not shoot. My experience is that barrels that look like this (usually worse) often do not...

    A Clean Miss on a Trophy Animal

    Maybe I missed it but I run a similar load and would need more than 2.5 mils at 500 yards with my rifle using a 100 yd zero. Maybe the range was right but you under dialed?
