    Howa: which one is it?

    I didn't know that but I don't exactly keep track. I can see reasons for both. Cabelas had a bunch of blem 223 mini actions with kryptek stocks and 1:8 barrels for $450. Still regret not grabbing one.

    .308 to 300WSM

    Are there any strength concerns? I think Savage used the Large Shank barrels on the short mags.

    Howa: which one is it?

    I think that's a pretty old gun because they moved to the mini action for 223. They've done a bunch of Kryptek guns over the years so I'm guessing that's what that is. That looks like a standard 1500 short action.

    CDI GUNWORKS DETACHABLE MAGAZINE BOTTOM METAL ALTERNATIVE

    Where he really shined was his installs. Think he did it for free or damn near if you sent your gun to him. I'm glad I sent my FN to him and wish I had sent a few more. That's what really made him stand out in my opinion.

    Anyone know where to get an affordable McMillan Tac-50 magazine?

    They are expensive because they aren't common. Scour the net for a used one or pay the price.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    Yup or anything else. I really want to see a 50 Blackout that's standardized. Not near as fun now that 50bmg bullets aren't cheap. Should have grabbed a few thousand when they were under $.25 a piece. Lot's of cool possibilities with big dedicated 50 cal subs.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    In bolt guns some guys chopped cases and made a 50WSM and shot BMG bullets. That would be awesome in an AR10 but I can't find a lot of info on it.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    I bought the complete gun on a Black Friday deal. Super light. Little crude but at the time was hard to beat value wise.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    That's probably the answer for the weird question. I don't think they sell just an upper unfortunately though so you have to buy a whole gun. If I could buy just a barrel and bolt/BCG the cost of entry would be a lot lower. There are also 45 Raptor which is a similar idea but based on the 460...

    Not all of them but I doubt you could get an exemption for a semi auto.

    New AR cartridge the 400 Legend

    How close is it to 6.8 Basic brass that has been available for years? How much more would the case you're describing get you over a Valkyrie?

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    Sweet now do it with something that handles a modern round at normal pressures

    Are the old Volquartsen LLV barrels threaded for a suppressor?

    I think that's a tensioning nut not a suppressor but can't remember for sure. You might be able to have an adapter made that replaces it and has external threads.

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    Nobody who competes in Biathlon would use toggle bolts if they were able to use a semi auto. 10/22 based guns would dominate that sport if they were allowed.

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    As a percentage of the market they make up a tiny part. They offer very little advantage over proven systems. I bet if Zermatt or one of the big boys made a straight pull as good as their normal stuff they would sell but the R&D would be substantial. It's definitely not really needed in our world.

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    I wouldn't say nothing. Straight pull guns are 2-3 times the cost of conventional guns on the bottom end before the savage. I really think the main reason is that semi auto is going to be a better option most of the time when truly fast shooting is necessary and that's not an option for a lot of...

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    Until the technology allows them to be super slick and low effort as well as low cost they will never replaces the prevalent actions we use now. It's a tiny group of people that "need" a fast bolt action especially here where we can own semi auto rifles.

    Anyone making 8.6 Blackout prefits yet?

    Seems like a lot of the barrel guys are still backed up so I guess that makes sense.

    Anyone making 8.6 Blackout prefits yet?

    Maybe Faxon would sell a blank you could send to someone who does prefits

    .223 Rem 700 SPS upgrades and Barrel replacement

    I see that now. I feel like that's just bad descriptions. With no bore/groove dimensions it's hard to imagine those specs as anything for a 22lr.
