    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I am still hesitant to cut my barrel even though almost every gunsmith I've see say it's fine if done right. If I ever decide to get it threaded I'll probably go ahead and chop the barrel down.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    He did good work for a great price. I had a couple guns I was going to send to him but was too lazy and he passed. Definitely one of the good ones.

    So do you have the part numbers on the mags? I would like to ask accurate if they think it would work with my setup.

    Ruger American Ranch 556 - Chassis?

    I am interested to hear how it works out. I was one of the guys that bought the older American 223 and a Magpul stock before reading about how 3 lug 223's can be problematic. Magpul sent me a generic response that it would work but it wasn't worded so that I'm even sure they understood my...

    556 in 223 Bolt Actions

    I shot some through a remington 700 with no problems. Every chamber is different so try it. The safety margin on a bolt action is pretty good.

    556 in 223 Bolt Actions

    There were AR's that did which is why the industry basically eliminated the 223 Chambering Wylde was designed to shoot 5.56 so no surprise there.

    Ruger American

    I would not with a 223. There have been multiple people with issues unless they have been resolved. The three lug bolt has problems with 223 out of AICS mags They make a AICS 223 American now?

    New Sig CROSS

    It's true I witnessed it firsthand. I don't know if they said what the specific problem was but guns were pulled and bolts were either fixed or replaced I am not sure which. On Arf one of the Sig employees said is was a small number of rifles but gave no actual numbers.

    New Sig CROSS

    There has always been talk that nutnfancy isn't exactly honest in all his reviews. Too bad. A high profile manufacturer has very few options on stuff like this even if it is totally fraudulent. They just have too much to lose.

    8.6 Creedmoor - Any updates?

    One thing you guys aren't comparing is the supersonic capability which should be a big step up from the 300 Blackout. If dedicated subs are all you are doing it might not be worth it. I am interested to see what kind of cool bullets we get out of it. The extra 35% bullet weight can't hurt...

    Gunsmithing SBR Bolt Action question regarding Barrel fitting

    It's only a SBR if it's a SBR. It's perfectly legal to put a long barrel on it. When it's assembled with the long barrel it no longer is a SBR nor subject to the NFA rules.

    9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

    Most all of them are blowback so stopping the bolt would be pretty tough.

    Could you re-machine a barrel that has been shot-out?

    Think Short Action Customs used to do it as part of a upgrade package on a factory Remington heavy barrel gun. As mentioned unless you are doing it yourself it will usually cost a good chunk of what a new barrel would be.

    Where to buy: 1.25” straight prefits?

    I would imagine any of them would do one for you. Don't think I've ever seen one as a stocked item. Years ago I had to order one from Pacnor for my savage.

    8.6 Creedmoor - Any updates?

    Yeah I agree. With all the other 338 made for Subsonic it's silly for another one. Oh wait...............

    Howa Mini Action__Replacement Stocks?

    I really like the little Chassis options and think they would be ideal for these guns but they get expensive quick. Even on sale at $289 by the time you add a $100+ dollar stock and a $50 grip you're still around $450. I wish there were better solutions for stocks or at a minimum more offered a...

    New Sig CROSS

    I am a life long Sig fan but they have definitely pulled some shenanigans over the years. Building platforms and not supporting them or not expanding them as promised is the big one I hear. I almost bought a 556 Xi because they were going to do a ton of calibers and barrels but they dropped...
