Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory I don't have any LC Brass. Everything I have is Federal. I am still working up a load have been trying to figure this one out for the last two days. Headed to the range again today. I am not getting any pressure signs and I am up to 44.0 Grains of...

Re: Pressure signs... why now? If the fouling is built up it could increase velocity and pressure. Not a definite answer to why. But a possibility. I know that after several hundred rounds my velocity alway increases. JAA

Re: Pressure signs... why now? Have you cleaned the rifle at all since you started shooting this load? How many rounds since it was last cleaned? JAA

Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory pinkMist, I had a chance to go to the range a chrono the rifle yesterday. With my hand load I was getting an average of 2629 fps. I don't have any pressure signs so I will go up on the powder charge and see if I can get to 2700. It will also depend on...

Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory I have been very pleased with it. JAA

Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory #1 The stock pack is a SKD Tactical. Here is the link: http://www.skdtac.com/BALS_MK_2_Sniper_Bean_Bag_p/bal.602.htm #2 I love the surefire, this is the second rifle I have had with this break. They are really affective. This rifle recoils like a...

Re: mcm a4 vs. hs pst035 H-S makes some great stocks, with that said I still prefer the McM A4 over every other stock on the market. It really comes down to personal preference when picking a stock. If you really want the McM A4 then wait and get it or you won't be happy. JAA

Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory Never had a problem with brass in my face on bolt actions, only on old AR's with no brass deflector and HK's. I am a creature of habit, I guess. Train with something long enough and anything different just won't seam right. JAA

Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory Yep, you are correct, right handed bolt and lefty shooter. I have used right handed bolt's all my life and that is what works best for me. I had a lefty and sold it to build this one. JAA

Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory The string is 550 cord that I ran into the cap of the USO anti-cant level so I don't loose the cap in the field. I tend to loose stuff it it is not attached. JAA

Here are a few quick pics of the work of art Mark Williams (triple 6) of Old Lodge Armory built for me. It shoots as well as it looks too. I'll post a range report after I get the load worked up. But with 168 FGMM groups at 300 yards were 1.9", 1.7" and 1.1" with a 8 mph cross wind and me...

Re: Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners I have had mine for about 6 Months, I was lucky enough to pic it up with the rifle. I have two others one that I also picked up on the hide about a year ago. One is going on a M40A5 specish build and one on my 338LM. I love this scope and the Gen 2...

Re: Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners I have a GAP M40A3 on return stock and my scope is a S&B 3-12x50 Gen. 2 Mil-dot, MTC. It does not have the 8541 markings on it, but it is the same scope just does not have the military markings. You may be able to find one on a rare occasion on the...

Re: GAP M40a3 question It would be an A5 if you added the EFR as well. It should not make a difference in value of the rifle as you are adding a $150 break plus having it installed. Other than maybe going up as most people would like a break on their rifles. It's your rifle make it what...

Re: New Virginia Gun Smith- Old Lodge Armory Paint looks great. Does not even look like the same rifle. I had a former ARMY sniper teach me to krylon my rifles (trobertson5-0). I may have to get some pointers from Sean and combine the two expert opinions. JAA
