    DLC Coating Services

    Yeah, that was my mistake. DLC is a particular PVD coating. They offer PVD but not DLC specific. I went with a dark grey for my action so PVD was fine for my use. They do offer a black PVD. Sorry for the confusion. My receiver was $80. I sent a Tikka bolt and handle that was $60. Parts...

    Glad to hear it honestly. Maybe the situation is improving. I know many people will be happy.

    I got parts back they all looked good. Haven’t put too many miles on them.

    All, I feel for the guy (Joel); I really do. I grew up in a small family business so I do understand the trials and tribulations that comes with the territory. I will also say Joel was alway polite and respectful even when I cancelled my particular order due to a time constraint on one...

    Curtis Action

    I run a Curtis. Hell, I run or have ran a lot of “non-main stream” actions like Mesa Precision Ti, Stiller Predator, and Stiller made PT&G 6.8 bolt face action. I also have Lone Peak and Zermatt TL3. I have handled and shot Defiance, Impact, and some others as well as Tikka. The Curtis Valor...

    MPA Chassis

    The gun candy effect can easily be duplicated with Cerakote FX clears. I’ve used them. Take the unpainted chasis for a $300 discount and have it custom painted. It will be custom without paying full price for chassis+custom paint. I would offer, but after seeing you have been a member since...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Still shoots like a lazer! Also new pants (paint) and bolt extension which I had to make. Couldn’t find one that kept the original knob.

    Hawkins Precision Hunter DBM issue...??

    Hawkins mags are milled billet aluminum. They don’t bent. I tried on one and beat it pretty good and it barely moved. Other stamped metal mags I would totally agree.

    Hawkins Precision Hunter DBM issue...??

    I had one in SA that was doing this and it was a mag that was out of spec on the feed lips. Rear of the brass was hanging making it very stiff to cycle/chamber a round. I would advise to try another mag before I modified the Hawkins I tested another mag and it ran fine. Hawkins replaced my mag.

    The BADDEST Cerakote you’ve ever seen COTTONMOUTH SNAKE REM 700

    No, I did that at my house. I like painting stocks and gun parts.

    The BADDEST Cerakote you’ve ever seen COTTONMOUTH SNAKE REM 700

    Finished another one……no animal theme. Always nice to show off the carbon through the paint.

    First bedding job

    The only action I ever stuck was with Hornady case lube. Never again for me! I hear lots of people use it. I guess it buffs away. Just spraying it leaves waves and streaks from what I saw, but I may be doing it wrong. Kiwi shoe polish for the win. Ive done about 60.

    First bedding job

    Quick tip - if you wipe away all the excess with alcohol and Q-tips you wont have anything to sand or grind away along the top edge of the stock. Also id you use this method, you do not need to mask the stock at all. Gift wrap scotch tap is good to put along the action right to the stock...

    Really Starting to Enjoy My .17 HMR

    I had really good luck with my Clark Customs barrel for my Ruger 77/17. Mine ia the v-block gen 1 version. Not the later threaded version. I opted for the barrel because mine was ammo picky. New barrel loves most anything. I thought I would sell it and get a threaded version, but Clark stated...

    Terminus Actions

    Report back in 2 weeks. My money says you will still be waiting. Can’t tell you how many times I heard “2 weeks” or even “1 week. Waiting on bolts” before I cancelled two orders. I may buy one off the shelf, but no way I’m waiting on Joel to deliver. Waiting isn’t an issue if the...

    Really Starting to Enjoy My .17 HMR

    Got her “strapped” in there eh? Never seen the U-bolt style system to fasten a barreled action in the stock. Is that a common method used in benchrest rifles? Seems like that would play hell with harmonics on a centerfire or especially a magnum caliber. It almost looks temporary for testing.
