    Rem 700 AAC-SD blues

    While a rotated barrel lug is not a good thing, my concern would be that the barrel lug is making contact on the bottom. This would certainly cause major accuracy issues.

    Tell me about Remington 700 action

    buy a rem action for $400, have it trued for $100 and it will sell for a minimum of $400. Buy a custom action for $1000 and it will sell for $900 because it wasn't purchase from the factory. How will you not get your money back? At worst, you will be out $100. If you are not on minimum wage...

    Stock Opinions

    I really like the McRee Precision. The benefit is you don't have to pay for the bottom metal and gunsmith time will be reduced.

    Rem 700 AAC-SD blues

    I had a 223 pss that wouldn't shoot. Here is what I did: cut barrel to 22" and recrowned did Tubbs Final Finish firelapping (all 50 rounds) put in McMillan stock and bedded it I have put 20 shots in 2 moa at 500 yards with this rifle. At 100, it is a consistent 0.5 moa shooter. Another part...

    R25, pof, bro, dpms, s&w...?

    Dpms oracle for 1000, free float the barrel for $200, Geissele for $280 and you are under $1500 and can upgrade the barrel later as you see fit.

    Random Question about bangin steel

    Ricochets are a bitch, trust me. I won't shoot fmj at steel at less than 100, just the scars telling me a shorter range isn't worth it.

    How do make the safety be silent?

    I lost a 12 point due to the click of the safety. He was about 70 yards away and ran at the click, there was no pause, just a get the heck out of there. I use my left hand to do it very slowly.

    What stock do i get?

    I love the UBR. Lockup is rock solid and I don't have a problem with a bad cheek weld. I keep my PRS on the lowest setting on another AR.

    semi .308 shooters, lend me your ears

    My suggestion: Buy a factory dpms oracle for $1000. This will be functional at the start, but may not hit the accuracy goal. When you have the cash, buy a new barrel (black hole or rainier match for ~$325) and free float hand guard (jp enterprises for <$200) and find a buddy with the tools to...

    Precision lr-308/ar10 help

    Thermo fitting will require a lot of machine work and I can't think it adds that much accuracy. There are a lot of ar10s that will consistently shoot 1/2 MOA. Not trying to crap on your idea, but any time I build a rifle for me or someone elss, I focus on the goal rather than the individual...

    Remington R25 accuracy

    My dad has a Remington R25 in 308 and he is complaining about the accuracy, getting about 2 moa. He is using match ammunition, Hornady I think. I know that AR platforms can be difficult to shoot accurately, but he consistently gets under 1 MOA with his AR15. The rifle is completely stock other...

    Need advice on magazine selection for AR 6.5 Grendel

    Never seen anything other than c products. They work fine but the feed ramps need to be adjusted if you want it to be reliable.

    Gunsmithing 1911 Thumb safety issues

    If a new 1911 safety drops in straight from the factory, I would be worried. I installed a new safety on my STI and filed forever before it fit.

    10/22 precision barrel needed

    I am happy with my tactical solutions, but definitely not as nice as volquartsen or others.

    Best .308 Rifle for $2000

    Remington with a custom barrel will shoot well at 1000. A 5-r is a good place to start if you aren't in the mood to rebarrel right away.

    Christensen Arms CA-15

    Christensen has been around a long time. He did his PhD on carbon fiber wrapped barrels, which is where he made his name. He even had a contract with Remington to build barrels for them in the late 90s. I can tell you reviews of his barrels were inconsistent. Some were great, others, not so...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SIG p226 Navy

    Better have big hands. Make sure it fits. If it doesn't, don't get it as it doesn't matter how good the pistol is as you will never shoot it well.
