    Good deal. I was really happy with him and everything I ordered arrived on time and packed to survive a bomb blast.

    Rifle Scopes Tunneling - Here's what it looks like.

    That's all good but the fact is the site pic phys. gets smaller. Like when I bought my 70" HDTV and every once in a while when watching a perticular show it changes into a 50" HDTV the pic quality is still the same and gives the same as every other HDTV but just turns into a smaller screen while...

    Where in western PA are you located? the western side can mean a couple hours drive. I have a smith 10min away from me in Farrell, Pa that has done some work for me and everyone around me goes to him. He's retired, prices are fair and work is good. Dave

    Gunsmithing Anyone make a quality T10 torx bit?

    I've been happy with my S&K set I also have Craftsmen and Snap-On. I would get a set that is sold somewhere local so you can get a replacement in short order instead of having to wait for the toolman (Snap-On, Mac, Matco, Cornwell etc.) to come back (usually in a week if you keep buying), I try...

    Gunsmithing Lathe Decision

    My friend is a retired master tool and die maker (42yrs) and has a Hardinge Super Precision lathe in his garage/hobby shop and says they are the best out there accurate to 30mil. of an inch. I'm not in the field but I trust his judgement especally when it comes to tools. I see they can be had...

    Catastrophic Failure

    Not knowing the builder in this case but if it is who everyone is suspecting then I wouldn't expect it to get corrected anytime soon let alone have him bend over backwards. I surely hope it does get corrected because noone deserves to have their hard earned money taken from them without getting...

    Crap.... I see now that what I was reading was from 2011 I hope things have changed for the better for them.

    Cheytac M200 .408?

    That's all odd. Because I called (I have them in my contacts on my cell phone) and spoke with CheyTac in the middle of last year about their platforms my buddy was looking into (and still is today) and they answered and said that they had some ready2go 300's and 338's and 408's there. We spoke...

    Did CheyTac ammo almost blow up me and my DTA HTI today?

    Captech International I looked at the Jameson Brass site and looked at the cases they sell for the 375 CheyTac and they look kinda odd. If you look at the rim there is a ring in the same area that your had a problem with there is also a ring around the first shoulder of the case. I am wondering...

    Did CheyTac ammo almost blow up me and my DTA HTI today?

    Damn.... not another thread on the same problems. I'm glad you weren't hurt. There is another thread with another member having the same issue (mabey a little worse) with his .308. I sure hope it's not all happening as a result of the ammo shortages (panic buys) and the manuf.'s/suppliers...

    Catastrophic Failure

    I ditto bogeybrown's comments, well said. I hope you do get this resolved in short order and get it back in working order the way you wished it. I must say I have learned a valuable lesson from your accident and that is eye protection. I do autobody all day and wear them for most of the day and...

    Light 50 BMG?

    I'm really liking the DTA platform. I don't own one but am seriously looking at aquiring one after my current build is completed. I really like the ability to swap cal.'s and not loosing zero the design is the biggest thing that has me looking. It's a toss-up between them and 3 others, so many...

    Catastrophic Failure

    I was kinda wondering (in the back of my head) if this wasn't his first go at being a Gunsmith or possibly his friend's or mabey he bought a barrel and did the install himself or something. Only he knows 100% for sure but I guess we could wait and see, somethings just aren't adding up IMO.

    Catastrophic Failure

    I don't understand how you concluded their bore sight was on. You determine the scope is on target when the very first round went haywire in the chamber? that is impossible to determin given what happened. Nothing about the round or rifles performance were correct. I would say that if it did hit...
