    H&K SL-8 Mag Conv. to take AR mags

    Re: H&K SL-8 Mag Conv. to take AR mags Tom Bostic did my conversion. I picked up the finished rifle while home on leave but havent shot it yet. I did the AR magazine conversion and added the US made Vortex flash hider as well as the bolt, piston, and trigger for compliance. Every detail...

    What extra AR parts to take to a class?

    Re: What extra AR parts to take to a class? I had an ejector break the other day at the range. 2-300 rnds total through my MK12. The gun had been sitting in a safe for 6 months while I was deployed. Lesson Learned... carry a spare bolt and work some CLP into the ejector pin and spring...

    New MK12 Mod 1

    Re: New MK12 Mod 1 +1 For Kevin and HCS. Bought my Mod 1 last year and came in under the wire on the x24 NFX. Waiting for the OPS Inc transfer now. My favorite rifle to shoot. I zeroed at 300 with mk262. It doesn't miss. CJ

    Best Rem 5R mod you made

    Re: Best Rem 5R mod you made Rifle Basix trigger and an AICS 1.5 Chassis. Puts 5 rnds of 175gr FGMM inside a penny at 100. A friend who does this for a living suggested I upgrade the stock and trigger before spending money on machine work. It was good advise in my case.

    Gunsmithing Source for Remington 700 SS SA

    Re: Source for Remington 700 SS SA Thanks C.Dixon. I checked the website earlier and found only "trued" actions. I'm in Iraq so its not practical to call. Is "Bugholes" a Hide alias for someone at SPR who can answer questions? CJ

    Re: Source for Remington 700 SS SA Got this email from Brownells re: 700 SS SA "I’m sorry, but Brownells will not be stocking a Remington 700 SA SS Action in the near future." Still looking. CJ

    Re: 6.5x47 OCW Test 8.5.2011 Thanks Doubled. Can you tell me about the gun. I'm still in the recipe development phase. Is your BBL 1:8? CJ

    6.5x47 OCW Test 8.5.2011

    Re: 6.5x47 OCW Test 8.5.2011 Been on 6mmBR and have seen that article. It was one of the reasons I decided on 6.5 Lapua. Don't want to get too far off the subject but would like a definition of OCW method. Doubled's results look promising. CJ

    6.5x47 OCW Test 8.5.2011

    Re: 6.5x47 OCW Test 8.5.2011 I'm watching because I'm getting started on a 6.5x47 build and will be reloading for it. Looking for a point from which to deviate. OCW method? Also, seating depth, BBL length, and twist? Thanks. CJ

    Gunsmithing Source for Remington 700 SS SA

    Re: Source for Remington 700 SS SA Thanks FNP, Jammer, and Bohem. SPR has a Trued product and Brownell's doesn't list SS SAs as an option. Had looked there before posting. Sent them an email. Want to give "Truing by hand" a shot. Got the idea after reading Bohem's Caliber Choice post and...

    Gunsmithing Source for Remington 700 SS SA

    Am going to embark on a home built 6 or 6.5 mm rifle project when I get back from deployment. Have researched chambering and the action truing process. Have identified and priced the neccessary hand tools. Am looking for a source for actions. A Google search returned plenty of barrelled...

    SL8 to G36 Conversion

    Re: SL8 to G36 Conversion Thanks EZ. I figured $2K. Will look up chopstickkid and TBostic. If cutting and fitting the upper is required I want it done by somebody in the business. CJ

    SL8 to G36 Conversion

    Got a good deal on an SL8 and want to convert it to a G36. Have seen parts on several sites but no instructions. I want to convert the mag well to accept std AR magazines and add the folding stock (thinking K w/cheekrest). Undecided on lower and trigger but leaning to the Sniper Variant if I...

    Versa-Pod Series 8

    Re: Versa-Pod Series 8 Thanks Kasey. I have an Atlas on another rig that came highly recommended and rightly so. My only gripe was that it was hard to come by. Seems to be a pattern developing here. I've got 6 mos before the rifle is ready and at least that long before I can take...

    Versa-Pod Series 8

    Re: Versa-Pod Series 8 One last shot at determining whether the Vers-Pod Series 8s are shipping and where one might aquire one. If the tribe on this site is silent then my assumption will be "they ain't ready yet". CJ

    Versa-Pod Series 8

    Re: Versa-Pod Series 8 Have not settled on one. I'm deployed and my rifle will be ready about the time I get home. Plenty of time to decide. The Versa site doesn't specifically metion the Series 8 on their product page, so....not sure what they offer or if they are GA at this point. Have...
