    6.5 twist rate for 139-142gr projos

    Re: 6.5 twist rate for 139-142gr projos my 1-9" Sendero would not stabilize the 142 SMK, but shot the 140s fine. so, 140s are a go, but the long 142 may or may not work for you.

    Quick question re: shipping firearm to FFL holder

    Re: Quick question re: shipping firearm to FFL holder no. the only requirement is that you check the ATF web site and confirm that FFL is listed there. the ATF does not really want the FFLs to send copys of their license to anyone other than other FFL holders, but many people don't really...

    Hunting & Fishing Good light weight hunting rifles

    Re: Good light weight hunting rifles i like less than 7# in the mountains and shoot it enough that confidence is there. packing meat out is all the more reason for a light weight rifle. less rifle = more meat. i was a wildland firefighter for ten years and can pack a lot of weight, but i...

    Fieldcraft Effects of Rain/Snow on Accuracy

    Re: Effects of Rain/Snow on Accuracy i've only noticed two issues. one, rain or snow makes my LRF stupid, and the other problem is when i can not see the target through the rain/snow.

    Gunsmithing Bedding an AICS yes or maybe??

    Re: Bedding an AICS yes or maybe?? +1 on sobrbiker's thoughts. i would not spend close to $1K on a stock that needed bedding. i spend that much on them because they don't need bedding. my AICS stocks are part of my "modular" weapons systems. like having common scope rails to allow changing...

    Tumbling tarnished ammo

    Re: Tumbling tarnished ammo i tumble ALL of my loaded ammo to get the sizing lube off. 30 minutes in corncob is the norm. never had a problem. i read about a test on another board where a guy tumbled loaded ammo for a week and compared to the baseline ammo. no difference in velocity.

    6.5mm 142gr HPBT MK with 1-9 twist?

    Re: 6.5mm 142gr HPBT MK with 1-9 twist? the 142s diddn't shoot too well in my .264 Sendero (1:9"), but 140 SMKs did. some other guys said the 142 worked for them, tho, so i guess you'd have to try. when i order 6.5 barrels, i order 1:8" or 1:8.5" twist.

    .223 vs. .223AI...advice?

    Re: .223 vs. .223AI...advice? no need to jam if you don't want to. the .004" crush holds the case solidly in place for the fireforming. this applies only if the chamber was cut correctly. barrels with standard chambers need to be set back when chambered for AI cartridges so they will have the...

    Re: AICS Recol lug recess question probably the same reason as the OP, barreled action from another rifle with a .250" lug already installed.

    Gunsmithing AICS Recol lug recess question

    Re: AICS Recol lug recess question another option is to chuck the barreled action in a lathe and face the front (muzzle side) of the recoil lug to .194" or so. my short action recoil lug recess was .196" worked for me anyway.
