    Just finished my Quad

    Well, I finally got to the range today, and I was shocked. The rifle printed three consecutive five shot groups at or under 3/4" at 100 yards with CCI Standard Velocity. Afterwards, we shot some steel at the same distance. Having just shot .308 and .223AI, it seemed like forever until the...

    Just finished my Quad

    Thanks! Glad you like it. Barrel is 18" long, works great with a suppressor - not too long with it screwed on. As to the stock, I wanted something different. I have several of the McMillan A series models, but never bought the original M40 style. It feels great on the shoulder and off a...

    Gunsmithing How to mount a Gem-Tech Halo Can on multiple threaded 1/2-28 hosts?

    Years ago I saw a post where a guy had his muzzle machined to the OD of a NATO-spec flash hider with a groove for the HALO. I can't remember who did the work, but it looked great. He got the proper dimensions from Gemtech, and it was said to be more rigid than the flash hider set up.

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint mount question

    Hey guys, quick Aimpoint mount question. Ordered a new Comp M2 from a site sponsor that includes the factory Aimpoint mount. However, it seems every post on these sights shows where almost everyone is using a GGG, LaRue, etc. mount. Does the factory mount just suck? This is going on the...

    Gunsmithing Williams BM vs. PTG Bottom Metal

    Re: Williams BM vs. PTG Bottom Metal I have one of each, and I would say the Williams is better <span style="font-style: italic">finished</span>. The gap on the lever in the trigger bow is tighter, and it is evident more work was done in final assembly blending the various radii and such...

    Re: DD Ross bottom metal. I have the Ross, but after seeing the Badger, I wish I had went that route. Both are built hell for stout, couldn't go wrong either way.
