    Re: Current APA status 8/24/11 With a pressed in barrel it doesn't lend itself to a build well but it could be done. The work would be a little beyond the normal scope of things but doable. The bad deal is the plastic magazine system. It would be hard to justify that much coin into a...

    Re: Current APA status 8/24/11 Ah yes the not so friendly to thread SSG. You need a 3" spindle and a lathe the size of an F-350 to fit all that in there but you can make it happen. Just one way of working around pressed in barrels.

    Re: Current APA status 8/24/11 I'll be in the Hospital for a few days if anyone is trying to reach me. I have my laptop but Kayla started going into labor this evening so we are going to be here for a day or two. If you need me shoot me an email at [email protected]

    Re: Current APA status 8/24/11 We sold everything we had. I might have an extra stock because we may order something different for one customer that wants an adjustable LOP. If so that will speed one of them up. We'll be ordering extra parts but we literally sold every extra build we had...

    The APA PARAGON destruction video series

    Re: The APA PARAGON destruction video series Ok here is the final video that really just encompasses the entire test but also adds on the final test at the end. I used 5 minute epoxy and Gorilla glue to stick it back together. Zero smithing tools. As a matter of fact it wouldn't go all...

    Gunsmithing Scope rings

    Re: Scope rings Near manufacturing makes a base ring combo like that. That's probably what you saw. i think it gives people piece of mind but if it were truly better every single top BR shooter out there would be running their stuff that way. I'm not knocking it just saying no it's not...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog meets the 162 Amax

    Re: Hog meets the 162 Amax I shot the hog with "Precious" (my 284) I gave the hog to some of the ranch hands so I never saw the inside. The shot was only around 200. I didn't even range it because there was no need at that distance. Triple shocks are the way to go for the 2 in 1 shot. An...

    My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust.

    Re: My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust. I actually thought about doing a T-shirt like that. I just don't want to be holding $500 worth of T-shirts at the end of the day. I wasn't sure if people would actually buy them.

    Hunting & Fishing Hog meets the 162 Amax

    Re: Hog meets the 162 Amax I had to go back and watch it on the large version I have here. I can watch it on a 32" screen frame by frame. The camera was sitting on my right in the blind and I'm on the left. That's actually the bullet in the frame. It's only in one frame and it's really...
