    Gunsmithing Why not Browning?

    Re: Why not Browning? This does work, but only to a point. As Mikee Booshay said, be careful! If the spring gets to short it will not work properly! If you shorten it, do it a quarter of a coil at a time, and flatten the coil out with some sandpaper so it sits on the two trigger surfaces...

    R700 .308 oppinions?

    Re: R700 .308 oppinions? Yes I think you are on track for sure. I'm shooting 44.5 gr. Varget with federal brass and the 175 SMK out of a 20" barrel and I'm supersonic past 1150 yards. I know the gun is 3/4 MOA to 850, but I only have 250 rounds through the 20" barrel, and It has not made it...

    Bottom Metal Question

    Re: Bottom Metal Question I second the PTG. It is a high quality unit, and you can't go wrong with it, especially for the money.

    Gunsmithing Why not Browning?

    Re: Why not Browning? Yeah, no KSL has put a damper on operations for sure! I've got a buddy who has been trying to part with his AR-15, and you would figure that would be easy right now, but with the usual classifieds out of commission, he is still holding on to it. I used to work for...

    Muzzle dims on Remmy 700 AAC-SD

    Re: Muzzle dims on Remmy 700 AAC-SD I am using crush washers that I've timed by removing material for a specific brake or flash-hider on my AAC-SD. I am still torn over which one I am going to mount permanently, so I have not wanted to time and refinish every one I try. This system is...

    Gunsmithing Why not Browning?

    Re: Why not Browning? Yes, you can get about two or two and a half pounds with the spring swap. Most of my A bolt triggers are set at about four pounds because that is where I get the best "feel" from the factory trigger. To me, the take-up feels better with about three and a half to four...

    Gunsmithing Why not Browning?

    Re: Why not Browning? The browning rifles have a rather complicated trigger group "module" that contains the trigger and the safety mechanism. Because of this, the trigger is really expensive to replace. (There is only one that I know of for the A bolt, and that is the $300.00 Jard). If...

    R700 .308 oppinions?

    Re: R700 .308 oppinions? Looks like I took too long to reply there. I think you are making the right decision with the short barrel.

    R700 .308 oppinions?

    Re: R700 .308 oppinions? Miles Coyote has it right on the money! Establish what your common maximum shot distance is and whether or not your round is likely to still be supersonic (or carrying an acceptable amount of KE for the game you are hunting). If it is going to meet that criteria...

    Muzzle dims on Remmy 700 AAC-SD

    Re: Muzzle dims on Remmy 700 AAC-SD I agree. There is no way I would trust my measurements to time the brake to your gun. I think they should be good enough to order a brake off of, but you will still have to time the brake to your particular gun after it arrives.

    Re: Muzzle dims on Remmy 700 AAC-SD Mine measures: Threaded section measures .565 length from muzzle rearward. .650 length including the un-threaded shoulder section. .627 dia at the un-threaded portion before the step up to the main barrel taper. .860 at the step up (muzzle end of barrel...

    Re: first rem 700 many choices plz help me, long read Go with the ADL. I am currently helping my brother build a rifle very similar to what you are describing for big game hunting. He is going to use the medalist stock with a PTG bottom metal to convert to BDL configuration. As far as...

    Lee Challenger or RCBS Rockchucker kit?

    Re: Lee Challenger or RCBS Rockchucker kit? I love the snipershide! A friend of mine lurks here (although I don't think he has a user name yet) and he saw my post. He owed me some money for gunsmithing, and had an RCBS press NIB. After some negotiation, I ended up with the press and a...

    Lee Challenger or RCBS Rockchucker kit?

    Getting started in reloading. (I know, I know, bad timing for finding components). The wife bought me some dies, projectiles, and primers for Christmas. Now I need a basic kit to begin loading 30-06, 308, 44mag, etc. Ive got a case trimmer, and an ultrasonic cleaner already. The Question...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Options for 9mm 1911's

    Re: Options for 9mm 1911's I think one of our local ranges rents the Rock Island's for shooting on their range. I'll get in touch with them. I have a friend that lives 20 miles north of me that collects firearms. Most of his stuff is war-orriented stuff, but I would not be suprised if he...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Options for 9mm 1911's

    Re: Options for 9mm 1911's OK. The information you guys have provided has been great. I am going to take a step back from this for a moment, and try and take a fresh look at it. I nearly always buy a firearm to "fill a role," or serve a particular purpose. I think I might be trying to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Options for 9mm 1911's

    Re: Options for 9mm 1911's Yeah, this one was priced at $1629.99 if I remember correctly. To bad her birthday is in November, and Christmas is a week past. I'm having difficulty coming up with a special occasion to justify the purchase of the most expensive carry gun either of us has ever...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Options for 9mm 1911's

    Re: Options for 9mm 1911's We found a Dan Wesson ECO tonight, and she liked the feel and look of it. She is not a fan of the aggressive VZ grips and the grips on the ECO were "perfect" according to her. The gun has a more modern look to it, which is kind of the opposite of what I was...
