    Re: what's a good source for brakes? ok, are there any sources where i can look at more than one brake? that one looks good, Milo, but i'm wanting one in Stainless. my goal is to have a gun that is virtually impervious to the elements. it'll be my hunting rig, and maybe i'll shoot it from a...

    Gunsmithing what's a good source for brakes?

    i know that Napa carries a lot, but that's not the kind of brake i'm looking for. i'm pipe-dreaming my first precision rifle, and i'm planning a brake. i've searched Midway and Brownell's, but they seem to have primarily AR-type muzzle brakes. is there another vendor that i should know about, or...

    Fattest Bull Barrel You Have Ever Seen?

    Re: Fattest Bull Barrel You Have Ever Seen? i tried making a mosin-nagant rechambered to 500 S&W, i was going to use the blank, just turned down enough to be clean. it was a diameter of 1.890! yeah, the rifle weighed so much that the two mounting bolts sheared off and the whole thing shit the...

    Help with Grip Selection - DPMS LR-308

    Re: Help with Grip Selection - DPMS LR-308 i've had the MOE+ and MOE grips, as well as the Hogue overmold grip. i'm still wearing the Hogue grip, but i don't like it (i gave the Magpul grips to a couple buddies). i'm thinking i'll go with a BCM grip. i really like that one. mind you, this is...

    Deer Antlers, Spiders, Scorpions & Snakes Logos?

    Re: Deer Antlers, Spiders, Scorpions & Snakes Logos? i've seen lots of emblems on lowers. some USMC EGAs, some Army Eagle and Sheilds, some Navy Anchors, etc. DPMS offers to some guard units the unit insignia on a lower. personally, i want to take a plain-jane lower and add a placard of my...

    SIg 716 or SCAR 17?

    Re: SIg 716 or SCAR 17? time for my .02! -SCAR- -the SCAR problems with the charging handle listed above are stupid. if you have the CH hitting your hand, tear the rifle apart (takes about 20 seconds) and move the CH to the other side. there. problem solved. -as far as pinpoint accuracy...

    Mega MATEN thoughts

    Re: Mega MATEN thoughts Mega doesn't build rifles (to the best of my knowledge). they just make the parts, YOU build the rifle. or i guess you could have a 'smith build one. other than the Apex handguard, i like the way this one sounds! i'm not a fan of heavy HGs on my rifles, they can add...

    Billet Lowers VS regular lowers

    Re: Billet Lowers VS regular lowers billet will do nothing for you that a forged, MilSpec lower can't. however, as stated, they are more likely to have the ambi release built in, as well as having the trigger guard also built in. depending on who makes the particular part, they can have...

    recommendation needed

    Re: recommendation needed i think i'd have to agree with the strength training, but that seems to be an issue you can't overcome. if having weight forward is the issue, look at other bullpups. FN's FS2000 is a great alternative to the PS90. it uses STANAG magazines (cheap, light, plentiful)...

    If you Could Build...

    Re: If you Could Build... i dunno, i think i'd lean to a 6.8 SPC instead of a 6.5 Grendel. the biggest advantage to the 6.5 is the fact that Alexander Arms held the cartridge to a very strict standard, therefore there isn't a bunch of variation from one rifle to the next (do a little...

    NiB coated receivers

    Re: NiB coated receivers IMO, it's just for the BLING factor. NiB is great stuff to coat surfaces that get a lot of wear and also tough places to clean. however, you don't have any of those issues on the inside of an AR upper or lower reciever. ok, maybe the inside of the upper where the bolt...

    7.62x39 bolt guns - whatch'ya got?

    Re: 7.62x39 bolt guns - whatch'ya got? i've handled and shot the CZ 527 a few times, really like it. i like it so much that i'm considering one (eventually) for a brush-gun while deer hunting. it's only as accurate as the ammo you feed it, and with some good handloads i've seen impressive...
