    Gunsmithing Advice on build?

    So at first I was dead set on doing an M40A5 build for a nice field rifle, not necessarily a complete clone, but close to it. However after doing some research and talking with some folks, looking at cost, weight, accuracy etc. I'm now debating between the following. M40A5 - changes being a...

    Gunsmithing Going rate for USMC M40 contract Schneider Barrel

    Re: Going rate for USMC M40 contract Schnieder Barrel How would the profile of the USMC barrels compare to a #9 profile? Essentially I just want to make sure that a S&B 5-25X56mm will fit the Badger USMC 1" Rings on a 20-30 MOA base. Any experience or advice here?

    Gunsmithing how much $ to mount and headspace
