    Gunsmithing Oval chamber, what options do I have?

    Re: Oval chamber, what options do I have? A 24" barrel will shoot fine. I know it sucks after all the planning and anticipation, but find someone to do it right, put it together and give us the results. A post of a cerocast from the bad chamber would be interesting.

    Range Report different weight bullets and why/when?

    Re: different weight bullets and why/when? Why are there all these different bullets? Because different rifles have diffferent appetites. My bolt gun will shoot Federal GMM 168 Sierra's 1-1.25 MOA. But feed it 170gr Lapua FMJ Match bullets and it will shoot .4-.5 MOA. You've got to feed...

    Re: Reloading data for hunting and Comp for M1A Get a Sierra reloading manual. The M1A requires a medium burn powder for proper gas port presure. The Sierra Maual explains this well.

    Gunsmithing Armalite AR-10 Buffer ?

    Re: Armalite AR-10 Buffer ? I own a AR-10T and my rifle functions great with the factory rifle buffer, so what I'm about to say is second hand. I've talked to several guys who swear by the tungsten bolt carrier weights to slow unlockiing and reduce bounce. Somethin' to think about.

    Rifle Scopes countersniper scopes.

    Re: countersniper scopes. Seriously, I bought one of these pieces of crap just to see how bad they could be. I didn't believe the hype but for 250 bucks I thought I might put it on one of my play rifles. It arrived and I unpacked the scope and cosmetically it look good. Then I got into...

    Re: Burris Xtreme rings not centered on EGW rail You guys are letting the rail off way too fast. I got a 20moa mount for my 700 and it was a total POS. It would not sit passively on the reciever. With the rear screw down the front was.25 off. I tred to lap it. What a mess. EGW took it...

    Virgin LC 223/5.56 brass How much to pay?

    Re: Virgin LC 223/5.56 brass How much to pay? The last time I saw virgin LC brass was last summer. At that time price was $100 per 500. I thought that was steep but put away 1500 pieces for my 600 yard loads. To find virgin today, I don't think I would want to see the price. Probably...
