    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Noel, The moving pieces ALL seized, outer legs to the inner ones (wasn't a big deal), and the point where the moving ("cuff", for lack of a better term), are attached to the fixed stud. Desert dust always creeps in, add moisture...

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Hi Noel, You're right on the failure observation. Ice, snow and freezing temps cause issues with tight tolerances. The tube and setup on the CT design allows an easy breakaway from freeze ups by just twisting the pistol grip of the...

    Cheytac's M200 bipod setup

    Re: Cheytac's M200 bipod setup Hi fellas, I did a mis-calc on the price of a fully setup TAC50 stock. I quoted a price of $1375.00 on the full setup TAC50 in package 6. That cost should be $1675.00, realized I was giving away something there. For the guys that have orders and deposits...

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Patents cost too much, and don't stop anything. There is a certain software guy out there that met with us in Arco, then showed up at the next shotshow with his own version of it, claimed it was his own idea, then had his turd of an...

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Mountain Rogue... This is kind of a long story, some here know it already. I was one of the orginal owners of Cheytac back in 2001. I developed the rifle from a base EDM platform into the M200 system you see around now. The major part...

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Just for general knowledge, Lloyd knocked that idea off when I sent him back his M400 to have him re-do the recoil rod / spring setup. The gun kept bouncing the bolt carrier out of battery because it didn't have a buffer behind it. (The...

    Return of the Wind Masters

    Re: Return of the Wind Masters That windage formula applies to the old M118 Special Ball and has some inaccuracies in it. There is another one that uses a factor of 14 (I think) for M80 BALL ammo. Works pretty well for .308 173 gr. stuff, not so good for anything else. Here is a more...

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Makes sense, I understand your point, it's a good one. I'm staying out of the design world, shooting mostly too, just being a nurse is busy enough Trig

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm Wait a sec, had to re-read that, are you saying that the CT setup is only a slight gain over the Harris? If so, your observation is very out of wack. Conventional means 100% of the weight sitting ON TOP of a pivot point, usually...

    Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm

    Re: Cheytac bipod setup on straight round tube forearm I'd have to DA on the Wa2000 setup and the DSR setups. Those are over the barrel bipod units, but they don't have nearly the stability characteristics of the cheytac design. I've shot a few Walter guns and a few DSR guns. Due to their...

    For a single shot 1500 meters

    Re: For a single shot 1500 meters Hmm,, thought long and hard about this one. I'd go with a known great one, the 375 CheyTac. I built two of these in 06 before going back to school. They were supersonic here in Idaho to just short of 3000 yards. Hellish accurate rifles. I'd build it the...

    Hey, I've had alot of interest in straight tube bipod cuff layouts. Here's a photo of the potential on the M400 semi-auto 408 rifle (doesn't exist anymore). Am considering a smaller and lighter version made of other than steel materials. If anyone is interested, post your comments please or...
