    New GAP-10 Arrived

    In May of 2013 I ordered a GAP-10. I waited 14 months for this gun. Over the last few weeks I have regretted the decision to order this gun, deciding I had made a huge mistake. It arrived late yesterday we shot it out to 200 yards. Below is my best 200 yard group. This is the best I have...

    Which SBR to buy?

    I own 2 Daniel Defense SBR's. I don't believe that you can make a bad choice with any top line DI gun (I have personally seen 2 piston guns break after 1000 or so rounds and am not a fan.). I consider SBR's battle rifles. The DD's are accurate guns that run. They are overgassed. I believe...

    My GAP-10 Setup/ What scope to go with?

    I think a lot depends on what your usage will be. If you don't have extensive training pay for the online training here. I have an Atlas bipod and a Harris. The Harris is up for sale. My NF Beast with MOAR reticle shipped today. I hope the GAP-10 will ship this week. I chose the optic for...

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    I have a Nightforce Beast on order and when I first saw the results here I was a bit disappointed. However, after going back thru the results and thinking about how I selected the Beast, it confirmed I chose the right scope for me. I can't wait for it to be delivered. FWIW, I think the...

    I have a Remington 700. I changed the trigger to a Timney. Purchased a HS Precision Stock (used) I haves shot the gun Next I would like to add a larger bolt knob and bed the stock. Can I buy a oversized bolt knob and install it or is this best done by a gunsmith? I haven't found any info...

    Ss balls vs pins

    Doubtful. Pins are manufactured by taking extruded rod and cutting it. Manufacturing of ball bearings is more expensive.

    Ss balls vs pins

    Run the wet with Dawn and citric acid, de-prime the dry tumble to do final cleanup. The pins polish and will cleanup primer pockets, the dry tumble can do that too.. Its a second step but would be easier.

    Ss balls vs pins

    Actually, you are incorrect. My shooting partner and I do all of our tumbling in a cement mixer. We use pins in a sealed 5 gal bucket with dawn and citrus acid. This system is very effective. In an hour we can clean 1000 cases, all done outside. We run a separator. I don't see balls being...

    AI vs. Custom US build

    Guys, I had what I thought was a legitimate question, what is the difference between an Accuracy International and a custom build. Here is what I have learned, there isn't much difference, except the AI is an of the shelf gun and the customs aren't. Otherwise they are "close". There are...

    AI vs. Custom US build

    Since I last posted here I have been looking at the different AI offerings. Excuse my ignorance, but when I look at the AT vs the MX I am having some issue understanding why the price is almost double. I do find the PSR very interesting, except for the price.

    Affordable 54" hardcase?

    There are lots of ways to ship stuff that works for single events. These can be cheap or expensive. Assuming you can separate the barrel from the stock, the cheapest method would be to take 2 of he cases new guns are sold in pack the barrel in one and the stock in the other, use plenty of zip...

    AI vs. Custom US build
