    Suppressors Suggestions for suppressor cleaning?

    Re: Suggestions for suppressor cleaning? Thunder, this is kind of why I posted this question, WD-40 as a cleaner or lube kind of rubs me the wrong way. But it's what SWR recommends in the 2-page manual. And it says NOTHING about lubing the LCD which I didn't get because there has to be...

    Suppressors Suggestions for suppressor cleaning?

    Just got my Trident9 and shot it on my P226, awesomely quiet with my 3.8 gr loads of Bullseye (147 gr FMJs). The very minimal 'booklet' that came with it said to clean it with WD-40. Is that what you guys use? What cleaning process and solvents do you guys use on your suppressors? I know not...

    Midway USA AICS good choice?

    Re: Midway USA AICS good choice? They are a great chassis system. I prefer the 2.0 which folds and costs a little more though.

    Stock Remington 700 5R VS Custom on a $1600 budget

    Re: Stock Remington 700 5R VS Custom on a $1600 budget I have several nice rifles, two of them are 5R's, both in .308. I took a stock 5R to a local smith to have it shortened and threaded. No problem with it, easy sub-MOA shooter. After doing the barrel threading the smith took it to the...

    Gunsmithing remington model 7 stocks??

    Re: remington model 7 stocks?? Big vote for the HS kevlar here. It free floated my barrel, is light and comfortable, and tightened up the groups immediately. Mine is 6mm Rem and a wonderful deer gun. Never tried the McMillan for the M7, but I do use A5's on my non-hunting rifles.

    Bottom Metal for Weatherby?

    I picked up a Weatherby TRR in .223 off GB for a good price, nice rifle, shoots excellent at 100 yards. Short thick barrel but not heavy and well balanced. Could use a faster twist, but that will be for the next barrel... Anyway, it's my gun to play around with. I'm going to desert camo it with...

    Gunsmithing Recrown when getting a brake installed?

    I have no gunsmith edjamacation but want to get a thread-on brake installed on a rifle I have. When they cut the threads on the barrel do they typically recut the crown as well? If a thread protector is made, does it match the crown, replace it, what? Does the crown even matter as much on a...

    Why Doesn't Remington just build this rifle......?

    Re: Why Doesn't Remington just build this rifle......? I can't really justify the price of a high end custom stick, although I'm saving some coin up to buy something like a GAP Crusader someday... but... I do have two 5R's in .308 that are absolute tack drivers out of the box. That said I...

    5.7x28mm tough lil boogers

    Re: 5.7x28mm tough lil boogers Don't tumble the brass, keep case life around 3 reloads due to excessive shoulder movement to avoid seperation, and make sure shoulder is set back far enough. I have the Hornady New Dimension dies. What powder/load will you be trying?
