    Precision Light Weight Mountain Rifles - Picture Thread

    Wish I had pics of the 270 WSM I just finished up for a customer. Defiance Anti-X, Bartlien CF wrapped m24 @ 20", AG Composites Alpine Hunter with Hawkins M5 hunter bottom metal. 6lbs 7oz bare with an empty mag. I'd get some good pics if we could have a day or two without rain here in Central...

    Gunsmithing ITAR Upcoming Changes

    Thanks. I've got my interview with ATF for my FFL next week. Guess I just won't do anything that constitutes manufacturing until it's completed. Are you fairly confident that it is going to happen, eventually, or do you think this is just a tease? I commented during the public comment...

    Gunsmithing ITAR Upcoming Changes

    THEIS, thanks for all the diligent work keeping us up to date on this. Any idea, even if just a guess, when we might see this happen? Are we talking end of 2018? End of 2019? Actually never, as so many good things promised by Uncle Sam seem to end up?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any input on red dot pistols

    That's what I always worried about, the recoil beating the electronics to death. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any input on red dot pistols

    I'll say this, I was at a pistol match this weekend where one off the shooters was running a G19 with some sort of dot sight. G19's aren't typically Berri competitive in these type matches because of the short sight radius. This was the shooter's second pistol match, but his shooting was very...

    Muzzle Velocity Increasing with each fire

    Yep, my Kreiger barreled 6.5 picked up nearly 150fps within the first 100 rounds (albeit quite a bit hotter round than the Creedmore with 65.5gr of Retumbo behind a 140gr Berger). New barrels are notorious for this, especially cut rifled barrels. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Got to fire the SilencerCo Maxim 9 this afternoon

    The wife and I participated in a local action pistol match this morning and one of the guys shooting works for Capitol Armory out of Austin, the number 1 SilencerCo dealer currently. He was running the Maxim 9, which he claimed was the only one in the wild to his knowledge as they haven't been...

    Rifle Scopes LE Optics??

    I love my BurrisXTR 2, it's WELL INSIDE your price limits, and with LE pricing, should come in under 1k. 4-20 or 5-25 should be fine. I opt for the most magnification I can get without sacrificing optical quality or the low end. Think about it, LE snipers are predominantly observers weigh the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife carry, sharpening and general observations

    I stopped sharpening knives for others, except a very select group of friends after I sharpened all the kitchen knives at work one day. I was tired of trying to cut meat with something less sharp than a fork. When I came back to work the next shift, just 3 days later, I could have sworn...

    Important Question: Is anybody actually killing real animals w/ 300blk?

    A guy on my deer lease has one for his boy, Remington 700 Tactical in 300BO. I watched him bust a medium sized pig at probably 80 yards.... she didn't run 20 feet before going tits up. I was also shooting and shot the boar, about the same size, with my 308 running 168 AMAX, and the bore ran...

    What has trump done to overturn obamas firearms executive orders etc etc.

    Fake, no, liberal propaganda and intentionally misleading..... damn right. He didn't sign any restrictive laws because none made it to his desk, thanks to various gun rights groups. What he DID do, since he didn't have the power to legislate, was to REGULATE, or at least attempt to regulate...

    What has trump done to overturn obamas firearms executive orders etc etc.

    Problem is, what is unconditional aside from the fact that it's a regulatory change rather than a law? Most of your conservative judges follow the law as written, libtard activist judges have no such ethical obligations, they just rule however they feel, whether it's legal or not. Sent from my...

    What has trump done to overturn obamas firearms executive orders etc etc.

    Actually, the law has always been there, but Obama, by EO, pushed the issue of redefining the meaning of manufacture beyond the "reasonable and customary meaning" of the word, to include any modification that involves anything other than hand tools basically. To take a pile of parts and...
