Hey guys I know it's one of them things that if I'm happy then that's what matters, however I value input from others. I purchased a sako trg 22. Nightforce base, nightforce rings(3 of them), muzzle brake, bipod, pelican case, nightforce 5.5-22-56, awc thunder trap suppressor, and 200 rds lapua...

hey guys i did up a couple new styles of knobs for a couple buddies, let me know what u think of these

Hey guys im pretty new to the gunsmithing area but i find myself studying through it constantly now. I recently did a bunch of bolt knob conversions for friends and was hoping to get your opinions on them. Be opinionated as you want to be, im thick skinned but i dont think they can bitch for...

well im mainly looking at threading the ends of a couple of my existing barrels, and smaller projects, the occasional threading of a replacement barrel on one of my hunting rifles as well, the spindle bore is only 1" i probably wouldnt be doing any barrels that are much bigger than an m4o mtu...

Im sorry if this has been covered guys but my search-fu is not on point on the site here. My question is im looking at a diff lathe to just do some hobby gunsmithing on my personal rifles. Im wanting to be able to thread the remmy 700 barrel thread, the lathe ive been looking over is a grizzly...

I was shooting my 223 today and fired a normal hand load as I always do with the gun and had done the previous 75 shots today. I felt a little almost blast back on my face as I fired it though. I opened the bolt and inspected the case, looked fine to me. I closed the bolt and noticed it would...

Well here are some more photos of it, the copper thru to the outside of the barrel concerned me as it looks like it was pushed thru the lengthwise splits in the barrel, as far as a squib goes i fired 3 rounds heard them hit steel, on the 4th round i felt the initial recoil and then wham like a...

I'm positive no 9mm, all I shoot is 40 and a 45, I'm not sure what to think of what happened, all I could think was out of battery as when it fired the 5th round it doesn't look like the case was chambered, it is protruding bulge behind the chamber and slide is 100% stuck and barrel is...

Has anyone ever experienced an out of battery discharge with the shield in 40? Brand new I put 5 rounds in the mag today (umc 180gr) I fired the first 3 rounds on the steel plate, as I fired the 4th I felt the initial recoil and then it felt like I was hit with a bat in the hand. The mag blew...

ya know, i bet a guy could put a release agent on a bolt head (like nightforce scope rings) and press it into the end of the bolt, so you could essentially pull your bolt out and use it as a wrench in a needed situation... i may do this today.

funny thing, now i have another m1a, a noveske, 4 new bolt rifles and i ended up going with the night force. I just keep trying to explain that these arent expensive guns hun. Nah the GAP was only 230.00 on sale lol

He's not there yet, however he's trying to stay in solitary, he truly doesn't want to be sent to gp as it's been pretty much well known fact time is limited in there. He hasn't made many friends with this.
