    Gunsmithing Legal questions on stripped lowers

    Re: Legal questions on stripped lowers If you buy one with a stock installed already you avoid the need for the wait since once it is built with a stock its a rifle forever (or until you SBR it).

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 donor rifle?

    Re: Rem 700 donor rifle? Looks like the seekins model does not use AI mags, I guess that leaves them out, unless thier mags are just as reliable, but I haven't seen anything on them to indicate that. Can anyone with experience on them weigh in on this?

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 donor rifle?

    Re: Rem 700 donor rifle? I will be doing the work myself. I like the looks of the Surgeon bottom metal, but I was thinking of the Seekins system, but that will be a few months down the road. I never thought of the switch barrel system just because I am not sure I would use it. The same...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 donor rifle?

    I found a good deal on a Rem 700 SPS blued in 17 Rem Fireball. Out the door the complete rifle would be about $370. I was wondering if this would be a good deal or if I am just imagining it to be one? I am looking to do a precision build that would help me learn a bunch more about smithing. I...

    What lock do YOU use for travelling?

    Re: What lock do YOU use for travelling? Like others have said they can and will cut locks, even those expensive "TSA approved" ones. I flew to OK to visit a friend and she wanted me to bring some guns to shoot so I obliged her. On the way back they decided they wanted to "inspect" my guns...

    Re: Your Million Dollar Rifle and Airports..... I know the last time I flew with my rifles to go hunting in WY I made sure they understood that I would be coming for their asses if they lost or stole my rifles. The lady told me that the bags are all insured for $3000 through the airline and I...

    The end of my Sniper career...

    Re: The end of my Sniper career... I have about a year left on my current contract as well and if it weren't for the conversion time obligation I would get out and use the new one. Heck I might even get out and go to Lassen or any other good school for gunsmithing, that would make me very happy.

    Stolen Remington Videos

    Re: Stolen Remington Videos If you notice a Magpul 5.56 mag came out and another Magpul mag went in when they ACR switched from 5.56 to 6.8even though they have said they can't make a 6.8 mag. Guess that is what you get when you pay a standard computer nerd to do a gun guy/computer nerd's job.
