    aics or mcmillan

    Re: aics or mcmillan I've heard that the AICS can be uncomfortable if you have large hands, but that's pretty relative, so as has been said, try to find one and handle it in person. On the other hand, they hold their value pretty well so you could just buy one and re-sell at a very slight...

    Gunsmithing B prefix 700 action with smooth bolt knob?

    Re: B prefix 700 action with smooth bolt knob? You'd be surprised how many variants of the 700 bolt handle exist. I've seen 3-4 different styles of the knurled ones alone, plus the smooth one that you speak of. I'm guessing the case was, they had leftover handles from 721 production and used...

    Gunsmithing Remmy 700 short action only

    Re: Remmy 700 short action only I know you may not have time to screw around with it, but I've found that buying HS-stocked 700's and parting them out tends to be cheaper in the end. The last 700 action I used was from a VSSF so it was stainless, and ended up costing me only $325 after I sold...

    Gunsmithing 223 sako extractor

    Re: 223 sako extractor Go with M16 extractors instead, Sako extractor conversions on 700's are not safe. In the event of a case rupture, the extractor will be blown from the bolt and cause serious injury to anyone in its path. -matt

    Gunsmithing Gunsmithing a side charging handle for AR

    Re: Gunsmithing a side charging handle for AR Have you tried a BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle? They're a vast improvement over a standard charging handle, without all the flaws associated with hacking into your upper to make it a sidecharger. I swear if you buy the Gunfighter and don't like...

    Gunsmithing M40A5 Build

    Re: M40A5 Build Get ahold of Chad Dixon of Longrifles Inc. He's got an ingenious method of welding AND soldering them on, I really can't see any better way of doing them than how he does it. On another note, you'll want to check the feed lips of that action, I believe they need to be...

    Gunsmithing Cut a 16" barrel to 14.7" and pin the muzzle devic

    Re: Cut a 16" barrel to 14.7" and pin the muzzle devic I'd say you'd be money ahead to sell your barrel and buy one of the shorter length. You'll likely have at least $100 in gunsmithing work to do that, which is far more than you'd lose by selling yours and buying another one. -matt

    Gunsmithing Rough Chamber...Any Way To Fix?

    Re: Rough Chamber...Any Way To Fix? I'd have a smith shove a .243AI reamer in there, that should handle it -matt ETA: I've seen a bunch of factory chambers that marked brass like what you're describing, I really don't think it will hurt accuracy any more than the factory chamber specs will.
