    Need help matching colors (rattle can)

    Yea, I saw that and thought about it. Only downside is it's only good for like 24-48 hours once you activate it. Not sure id get my use out of it. Plus, at $40 a color, is be money ahead to just send it to short bus to paint.

    Need help matching colors (rattle can)

    Yea, $10 is the normal price. If you don't have a C&R, look into it. They discount most stuff for "dealers". It's $30 for 3 yrs and easy to get.

    Need help matching colors (rattle can)

    Thanks again for the input. I emailed them asking if they would send color swatches. We'll see what they say. Brownells sells it for ~$4.50 a can with my dealer (C&R) discount.

    Need help matching colors (rattle can)

    Thanks for the feedback. That's great info. I like the color swatches. That helps. You talk a lot about Aervoe. Is it more durable, just better colors, etc? Why do you like it so much. I thinking about putting a base coat of Alumahyde II down, then a coat of stone for texture and then...

    Any updates Ank? I think I'm leaning more towards a Manner's Desert Sage style now.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes

    Rolled into a shop on the way home from a work trip and they had the 4-20 in stock. They also had a PST 6-24. They let me go outside and compare side by side. Obviously not a perfect test, but here's my take. Based on my current budget, I'm an admitted Vortex fan boy. Burris - better...

    Rifle Scopes Counter sniper question/value

    Wow, not really sure what yo say. It's free on a $500 Savage at the gun shop. Didn't know if trey were worth 50-100$ Only logical inference from that is I'm saying 1800 yds is easy and I'm going to put it on a .408 CT.

    Rifle Scopes Counter sniper question/value

    A used gun I'm looking at comes with one. Something like 10-40 with red and green illum. I know they're not top end, but are they worth anything? I'm just seeing what I can expect to get to offset the purchase price, if anything.

    14.5" 308 ar

    I agree 100%. I guess my thinking was I'm not worried about this being a tack driver. I have a 7RUM when I want ballistics that are flat for LR. Either way, I think the 18" makes more sense. After messing with my 28" Grendel, handling isn't much different that 26" rigs. I'd rather not have...

    14.5" 308 ar

    I agree. This is the sort of input I was looking for. I'm starting with a 10" 300 blk. The .308 is ring built from the ground up, so barrel length is easy with either choice. Not sure I want to mess with the expense and trouble. Might just go with 18" like my original plan. The 14.5 was just...

    14.5" 308 ar

    Can't hunt with a semi in PA. Can is rated for 300 RUM. I will need to double check as thats a good point on warranty.

    14.5" 308 ar

    So, I'm on the fence between an 18" or a 14.5" w/ pinned hider. After running the numbers, I'd expect about 2600 fps with 168 Amax @ 18" and 2475ish with 14.5". Assuming those are right, the ballistics really don't change much. Both still stable to around 1k and have enough energy/velocity...

    Does this exist?

    Thanks for all of the input. I'm planning on getting a piece of foam or dense styro-foam. I'll cut it to fit the opening and make it a 2+ piece mold. I'll stuff some shot or ignots/resin way back towards the pad to help with weight. I'll cut slots/holes etc in the front part near the lower...

    Does this exist?

    Thanks for the input. I'm not sure I was very clear. I know there are lots of ways to add weight. I was hoping someone offered some sort of "organizer" that would let me store the things I actually needed to keep on the rifle to allow me to add weight. I may just play around with the idea...

    Does this exist?

    That would work too. I was thinking about cutting a piece of dense styrofoam so it fits snug. I can cut compartments for the things I need. Sounds like this will be a DIY job.

    Does this exist?

    Thanks for the input. I'm hoping to have something that is still useable and not just fill the void with shot and epoxy. I still want to keep my NFA forms and batteries and the like in there.

    Does this exist?

    I REALLY like the MOE fixed rifle stock, but I'm hoping to load up the stock with some weight (betteries, etc) to offset a can. Does anyone make an insert that fits inside and holds items so they don't just rattle around? Hoping for something like the Hogue insert for their pistol grip. Thanks!

    Good scope mount for AR?

    I have a Freedom Reaper sitting around. If you're interested, I'll work something out. I think they retail about $110 or so. Shoot me a message. Only reason I'm letting go is I had to downgrade my my viper 2.5-10 FFP to a wearer tactical (1"). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need help matching colors (rattle can)

    I'm looking to take the plunge and test a camo job on an old stock. Is there a sticky or anywhere that has compiled a list of colors that match certain camos? I'm hoping to do a Mcmillian style desert camo. I picked up some Rustoleum Earth brown, tan, and Khaki, but they just don't seem...

    Anyone here running a Stockade Stocks Mule Deer Stock on a hunter?

    How long ago did you get the stock? Did either of you two with cracks use Kevins new material that he charges and extra $40 for?
