    Suppressors TBAC 30P-1 quality test by Short Action Customs.

    Shooters, I have done this test multiple times with many suppressor brands and have noted that some are good, bad and ugly. Here is the test. Barrel dialed in our lathe on the muzzle end. Threads cut concentric to the bore within .0001"-.0002". Next the barrel shoulder is squared up...

    Straight vs. swept bolt

    When putting a straight bolt handle like the Surgeon, Big Horn Arms and some times the PTG, you will need to inlet the bolt handle cut out slightly. Just drop the barreled action into the stock and secure it, work the bolt up and down and look for any kind of wear marks on the stock. If you do...

    SAC: Rem 700 6.5 CM in Manners MCS-TF3 Desert.

    Shooters, Just finished a build today that I wanted to share. The Manners Folders always impress me with how solid they lock up and function they can be for storage purposes in cases in addition to performing maintenance on the rifle. The spiral fluting was done by Kampfeld Customs and as...

    SAC: Floating Bolt Head Remington 700 prototype

    Update, I spoke with Dave Kiff from PTG and I'm going to play around with some parts that are currently available and possibly discuss come potential options as I do believe this is a good alternative direction to go with a nice Rem 700 build. Obviously we want to make this conversion as...

    SAC: Floating Bolt Head Remington 700 prototype

    We will keep playing around with this idea and I think it would be a good idea if we put this bolt in a Rem 700 action that was not trued, then shoot it to see if there were any gains in accuracy and then shoot it with the factory bolt. The problem is at this time the dimensions do not match to...

    SAC: Floating Bolt Head Remington 700 prototype

    I can tell you with AJ's parts, we are looking at a $300-$400 plus conversion most likely.

    SAC: Floating Bolt Head Remington 700 prototype

    Here is an question. What kind of price range would you pay for a complete conversion? This conversion would include these services. -Providing a new bolt head assembly -Fitting it to the bolt -Modifying the barrel to work with this assembly -Ensuring the bolt stop assembly would work...

    SAC: Floating Bolt Head Remington 700 prototype

    I am sure Dave Kiff can make these up however, I really like AJ's products and I just do not think they get any better. Dealing with AJ ensures I can get a complete set of parts needed (bolt head, cross pin, gas check, ejector assembly, extractor assembly and spring washer. I have not played...

    Gunsmithing Truth about blueprinting a Rem 700

    I would agree...These damn threads..! Its easy to stress about small numbers that may or may not matter, but if we were talking about what would be ideal, then I agree that full lug contact/square bolt face opposed to the tilted bolt. I did some playing around a year or so ago where I put a...

    You are correct, AJ is the one who is supplying me the bolt heads and he is fully aware of this project. Mark

    SAC: Floating Bolt Head Remington 700 prototype

    We document the O.D. of the bolt where the cross pin goes through, we have a fixture to hold the bolt. We indicate it in and drill/ream the cross pin. When we bore out the bolt head, its indicated on the OD of the action. We are shooting for the OD, ID, and crosspin to be square and...
