    Another Picture Thread - All Other Semi-Autos

    The stippling was a hassle and a half to do, but that's at least finally done. Feel a bit silly only sharing pictures of the same thing, over and over as it slowly progresses. Other than the steel and stainless needing to be nitrided, it's pretty much done now though. Otto Repa was impressed by...

    The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

    It's not the most remarkable shot in the standard sense. It was only into a dirt pile about 20 yards away. But what made it such a monumental moment for me, was that it was the very first shot from a rifle I had designed from the ground up, and built fully by myself. It didn't blow up. About 150...

    Curiosity got the best of me, and I assembled the pieces together despite saying I wouldn't until the wood was finished, and the steel bits were nitrided.

    Still need to do a bit more wood shaping around the grip before I can do finishing/stippling, and get the steel components black nitrided. Aluminium has finally been anodized though. It's getting close to where I can finally be done with this.

    Long gone over the years and moves since I converted the rifle.

    I just made my own jig and clamps to hold it in the mill vice.

    Picked up a neat piece of outdated tech, a Fero Z51. Machined a mount for it to fit the Wa2000 project. Metal still needed a bead blasting before it can be sent out for anodizing, so I figured what's the harm in giving it an atrocious rattle can.

    Just a replica. If I were to do it again, I would use the Mk3 replica instead of a 1 or 2. Might still try and sell the scope in the future to replace it with a Mk3.

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Decided to give one of these Arken scopes a try with how cheap they are. Figured if I didn't like it, it could get moved over to a rimfire or such. Gotta say though, my initial impressions have been pretty much like everyone else. It's impressive for its price. I also tried shooting some AAC...

    Vintage Sniper Rifle Picture Thread

    I built this T replica a few years ago. Shoots rather nicely for its age with handloads, 1.5ish moa. Gotta say though, what an absolute monster pain in the ass it was to do. Between having to machine a jig just to get the scope centered, and then on and off, on and off, and on and off fitting of...

    Does anyone have a blueprint showing the location of the side mount iron sight holes for the Rem 700?

    I mean, one would assume there is a bit of the knowledge if asking for the dimension. From what I can tell in the image, 3.629-3.631" center line from the rear scope screw, and .604-.606" center line spacing between the two, 90 degree over. Looks to match up with rear sight pad threaded holes.

    Does anyone have a blueprint showing the location of the side mount iron sight holes for the Rem 700?

    The blue print seems to show their exact dimension? In line with the rear sight rail holes, at 90 degree index.

    precision rifles... show em

    Here is a .300 Win Mag I just put together myself. Trued the action, contoured the Bartlien 1:10 blank to a MTU, and pillar bedded it in the McMillan. Sadly it still has the factory trigger in it, which is just awful compared to my Huber in my .260, but money has been tight. This is regularly...

    .300 Win Mags - Where are they?

    Thanks. Barrel was a Bartlien 1:10 blank. I gave it a MTU contour and I built the rifle myself.

    .300 Win Mags - Where are they?

    .300 I've been slowly putting together. Still need to thread my bolt and cerakote the rifle. Not sure if I want to cerakote it myself or just send it out to someone to do it. Scope rings need to be taller, although the bell doesn't touch the barrel, so I guess they are technically fine, but I...
