    Tube gun bolt stop

    Re: Tube gun bolt stop I'm currently having an Eliseo RTS built. I've got to say that the stock is awesome for fit, feel, & function. I'm having a Pierce action installed into it & it is also super slick. Gotta love the rubber bumber in the back of the stock. No metal to metal noise when...

    This is why I put a Bartlein on my AIAW

    Re: This is why I put a Bartlein on my AIAW I think BM11 was referring to the rumor about buying factory barrel change kits from AI; requiring an armorers course to buy one. Don't have a clue if it is real or not but a call to stacey will answer this question. Either way you can send your...
