    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Honestly though, its not like any civilian is going to get an action actually used by the USMC. When people talk about being in the right "range" all you mean is that they are close to the same time as the ones made. There a set number of serial numbers on a list of...

    Neck turning tool do you use?

    Re: Neck turning tool do you use? I enjoy reloading and increasing my skill with it hence why I turn necks. Plus I shoot LC brass and it kinda needs it. Should have gone with Winchester or Lapua brass if I wanted to skimp on neck turning
