    bolt swapping question

    I thought this would get an answer straight away. I suppose if you can do it its a testament to defiance machines tolerances

    Landtech or assemble?

    I believe the best value in a custom rifle is that it is customized to your specs. Go with the one that will suit your need the best. Also I thinm that part of ooning a custom is that it should look the way you want it to. Id build my own to your dream specs and get it done right

    bolt swapping question

    Ok so I have 2 SAC alpha actions one is a 223 on a medium action with 223 bolt face the other is a 260 on a medium action. The 223 is alot lighter build but would lack hunting power for some medium game. Could I wack my 260 bolt into my 223 and screw on a 308 meduim action calibre?

    375 cheytac or 338 edge

    yes very true ive been nutting out how much it would roughly cost per round over the life of the brass. Im pretty sure you cant even say the word cheytac without losing a dollar

    375 cheytac or 338 edge

    Im building myself an ELR rig, at first i thought that 338 edge would be a good choice but then my mind wandered to the 375 cheytac. I have a 3 kilometre range Im building a heavy elr platform rather than a tactical rifle so recoil can be made quiet manageable ill probably use it on goats...

    what calibres are good for short barrels

    I get the rare pig out to 250lbs, but its not a common occurrence and they are the biggest thing i shoot ( i dont have a big enough appetite for an entire elk :). ) and i have dropped them fine with 130 gr hollow points. im kinda leaning away from 308 because ive been there and done that since...

    what calibres are good for short barrels

    you sir are a genious I reckon that this may just be the way to go 1) the bullet choice for these are made to detonate at low velocities 2) cheaps as chips to realod once im set up 3) it will give me all the range i need, i think 338 win would be slightly better but it almost costs 3* as much to...

    need help Enfield Pattern 1856 Cavalry Carbine

    Im happy with what I paid for it for what it is. Anyway three other people have stated that they think it is of Indian manufacture (it could be an ealrier model 1856 was just a guess of mine and im no expert), but as you said it could well be an Afghan one. BTW dont worry about pissing down my...

    need help Enfield Pattern 1856 Cavalry Carbine

    after alot of searching it turn out mine is a repro but it is of indian or nepalese manufacture. It was most likely built up for a local leader appointed by the British, hence it does not have any markers apart from the Indian bp symbol. its rare but not historicity important, but frankly i just...

    what calibres are good for short barrels

    Im in Australia so component availability is fine for pretty much anything short action, as for recoil i only have a short action donor so most choices i can make will be fine

    what calibres are good for short barrels

    are there any calibres on a short action bolt face that seem to perform better than others. Im building a little plinker/hunter for short range probably 400-500 max range and alot less for most of the hunting ill be doing with it. The rest of the rifle is a Remington 700 5-r that's barrel is...

    need help Enfield Pattern 1856 Cavalry Carbine

    there you go its still a bit blurry but i had to compromise between a clear image and a good size. I think and this is only a guess that it was either an irish issue or an indian one but im still very unsure so that why im asking
