    Gunsmithing Sako Extractor on a Remington Bolt Question

    If I have a Sako extractor installed on a Remington bolt, will that affect headspace? Or would I have to rechamber/rebarrel the action to the new modified bolt?

    Gunsmithing Need some technical help here with headspacing – Stiller Actions using a Remage Barrel

    A little background first. For some time now I’ve wanted to build a custom 221 Fireball Repeater, but they haven’t been known to operate smoothly. Essentially, a standard Remington bolt, because of it’s extractor location, drags the spent case along the action lug where it usually pops off the...

    Gunsmithing Anyone use Clark Fay before?

    Well it's been two weeks after sending a certified letter (and having receipt it was delivered) instructing him to contact me. Never got a phone call, email, or anything else. Guess now I call the his local police department? The local ATF?

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    My CG-63 has continually impressed me. I might have to break down and build a custom long range gun on this round.

    Gunsmithing Anyone use Clark Fay before?

    I'm sure he's a stand up guy. But when he quoted me 30-60 days, and I said I'd need it by April to start shooting matches, and he agreed, that gets me a little ticked off. Not to mention the complete lack of communication and returning of phone calls.

    Gunsmithing Anyone use Clark Fay before?

    About twice a day. I sent him a nice certified letter telling him to get in contact with me. We'll see if that wakes him up and makes him a bit more responsive.

    Gunsmithing Anyone use Clark Fay before?

    I sent him a barrel and action about 6 months ago for what should have been a 30 day turn around. I've been calling for months and haven't been able to get through to anyone. Curious if anyone's heard from him lately? Or maybe if someone has an alternate contact number for him?

    Help: Identify and appraise remington 700 match rifle(not tac/sniper).

    This. Someone took a stock 700 223 (barrel markings look like factory) in which case the twist is likely 1-12. Then they put it in a X-course 40X stock.

    Shilen DGR Actions

    That's interesting news about the bolt heads. In the past Shilen, Stiller, and PTG have been very hush hush about bolt head interchangeability.

    On Remington 700 Long Range, 30-06

    I had a chance to play with mine last weekend. I'm really starting to like this rifle. I only went out to the range to finish barrel break in and try to work up a varmint load. I threw some 168MK loads together completely at random and they look like they'll shoot sub .5 MOA. With a little...

    I see Boyds is making stocks for the 22lr model. If they make stocks for the MAG/HMR model, I'll pick one up.

    Are you guys using standard or magnum primers with your RL22 loads?

    On Remington 700 Long Range, 30-06

    As shown mine weighed 11lbs even. I've since added a cheek piece and harris bipod. I've only put 25 rounds of break-in ammo through it, but I can tell it's going to be a shooter. On a whim I used tried the Tubb final finish fire lapping bullets and then ran some dyna-tek bore coating...

    Bruno's has 22LR

    Brunos screwed me on shipping also. I ordered a few boxes of bullets and the shipping was something unreal like that. I called and had them check into it and the lady had erroneously added the HAZMAT fee. They refunded it, but I wasn't too pleased.

    Pupil of the Art of the Tactical Rifle Dot ORG *Video*

    They didn't mention it took 500 rounds to get those 3 shot on a 6" plate. (Satire. Number of rounds used unknown. Please don't sue me Rooney.) Also, Rooney, do you even lift bro?

    Short Action Sendero

    DO NOT tear that rifle down. That is an extremely rare and collectible rifle as it sits. Short action mag bolt face actions are a dime a dozen, but that rifle in factory form with box should be able to buy you a full custom action and some.
