    wanting to custom build a sniper rifle

    As well,to snipe is to hurl snide remarks...to take aim with derogatory, contemptuous intent... So if I were doing that at the same time as holding a rifle,would that not become a sniper rifle...??? No...??? I didn't think so...! Shooting from a concealed position does not make you a sniper,it...

    wanting to custom build a sniper rifle

    It was not by design,but by happenstance that I was drinking coffee and eating popcorn when I started reading this thread... As the lashings began, I thought it fitting that I had popcorn...As the humor began,I found it quite enjoyable... But the words of witdom came so quickly,that I...

    Cool Danny...! Glad to hear your in the mix... It seems that daily,zip tie rules of engagement are employed more and more,so that the administrator's have an easier time negotiating the legal mine field...

    Who makes the best "Lightweight" stock?

    I have an SPS Tac with a 16.5"(varmit) in an EH1 and the balance is nice...I wouldn't hesitate at all to go to 18"... I would guess 20" to be ok,but probably at the limit... Flutes might help a wee bit,but that's another story...

    Just Got a Good Deal On Rem 700 SPS !!

    I haven't made "cop" talk with any of my chums,in a very long time so anything I think I remember is probably wrong... But I was curious as to why you didn't use Remington's LE discount... Did Remington stop doing that or was the price still higher than a what you ended up paying...???

    Gunsmithing New Barrel Fouling

    I've only had one cut barrel,a Rock, 5 R that was installed by GAP... Even during break in, it was the easiest cleaning barrel I've ever seen... Copper fouling was always light and cleaned up easily... Much better than any button rifled barrel I've had...

    Gunsmithing Best release agent for bedding?

    Paste wad for release... I used acraglas for a while,then steel bed... Had a few guys that didn't like the grey color so I went to the gel... I could sprinkle a bit of Rit dye in and they could be happy... Been using the gel for quite some time now,don't know if it's better or worse,I've never...

    Just Got a Good Deal On Rem 700 SPS !!

    I must admit...I'm surprised your department would allow you to change out a trigger... Let alone allow you to use a rifle that is on a recall list without at least a trip back to the manufacturer... Nice price though,I paid $610.00 just before the recall and thought I had a deal...

    Gunsmithing custom bolt knob...

    I know your intent is to help...And I thank you,but... As you stated,it's simple junk...anyone with a small lathe or mill can make one... So who needs to be certified ... And for what...???

    Gunsmithing Float lightweight barrel vs. pressure point.

    I'm not discounting your knowledge... it may well be more than mine... But though I choose to free float,all the time,I've seen pressure pads work well on settling down light weight rifles with a pencil barrel... A wood stock barrel with a pad can change zero over night...erratically A...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I just finished opening up the barrel channel on an EH1 for my 16.5" SPS... And I have been feeling really good about this rifle... Unfortunately I keep looking at these chassis builds and my mind starts wandering off... I just don't know if this itch is going to go away,or I'll just have to...

    Fluting? Yes or No ?

    To the above post...I hate auto correct...!

    Fluting? Yes or No ?

    As already mentioned,tool geometry, sharpness ,speeds,feeds,indeed will all effect induced stress... There are people out there trying to get the last amount of life out of their cutters, in the least amount of time...these people should not be fluting barrels,or machining anything else for that...
