    The FN-AR is semi auto but feels like a bolt gun. You might try that.

    Gunsmithing AR308 Barrel Smith

    If you want to shorten up the neck or throat couldn't you chamber with a .243 reamer then come back and customize the neck with a .30 cal necking reamer? If you need the throat a certain distance couldn't a uni-throater be used to give you the jump you're looking for? If someone says they can't...

    Gunsmithing Carbon Wrapped Barrels, More PROOF

    I have A .30 CAL Sendro in my lathe right now. 300 Win Mag, McMillan G-30, AI Ax in OD green. I just found this thread too. I was stressing until the bottom of page one. My experience buying the blank from PROOF was super good and they sent me a thank you card a few weeks later. A nice touch I...

    PM Lowlight. He lives and works up there. He might know. Or go by Colorado School of Trades. One of the instructors probably has one.

    Gunsmithing Best AR .308 trigger

    Geissele is the way to go. I've installed and used most of the popular triggers. The DMR, SSA-E ... all of them...are worth the money and the wait if they don't have them. Nobody can hand tune a trigger better than these.

    Gunsmithing Marine-tex bedding cure time???

    Since I moved from Louisiana to Arizona I've had nothing but trouble from Marine Tex. I've used it for years and scores of bedding jobs but here it shatters, cracks and I've tried several different mixtures and nothing has made a difference so I just got some Devcon. I'm hoping the titanium in...

    Gunsmithing Bolt closing hard new rifle

    Buy a .30 cal Unithroater from PTG and you can fix in 30 seconds. I wouldn't send a belted magnum back to Remington. Number one, if you send it to a repair center like Sport's World in Tulsa you won't get your gun back for a dog's age. Number two, when they do repair it they don't test fire...

    Gunsmithing Check out this brand new Remington 700's recoil lug

    Welcome to Remington Country. Try sending one of those rifles off to a repair facility. I and a rifle at one in Oklahoma for six months...and they never even looked at it until I went ballistic and called Field Services in NC. We had to send a Rem 700 Tactical back once time because it was a...

    Gunsmithing don't want a surgeon DBM what are my options

    What I read on the top of the thread was someone asking for a less expensive option besides the Surgeon, not that he was unhappy. I own a rifle with a Surgeon DBM and it works great. I also just bought a PTG DBM for $75.00 last weekend. Works great too. Looks just as good. Doesn't have "SR" on...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly

    I have the same lathe. I love it. You will too. I set mine up inside the house so I had to put my thinking cap on. I made a dolly system using 2" square stock and 4 300# casters and a 2.5 ton engine hoist. You need that big of a hoist because the lathe needs to me over 30 inches off the...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths too busy, too "special", or what?

    One of the biggest problems I run into as a working gunsmith (general gunsmithing/one man shop/teenage helper) is there just aren't enough hours in the day to handle all the work. I'm taking a break from it right now to "calm down" from an aggravated customer who drove 3 hours from California...

    Gunsmithing 450 Swahili...has anyone heard of it?

    Bought a bunch of guns a couple weeks ago and one of the rifles included in the deal was a custom Weatherby MKV chambered in "450 Swahili." It came with a box of 20 cartridges. I did a little preliminary checking and came up with zip. Has anyone heard of this beast? Or, better, does anyone know...
