    Gunsmithing LRI Tenon thread pitch question

    Years ago i had a Rem 700 SA trued up by LRI. I sent 2 Bartlein M24 barrels. 1 in 6.5CM, the other 30 cal I had chambered in 308 Bisley (slightly different SAMI specs than 308 win? Been a while, so i forget why I went that route) I have been shooting the 6.5 since then, and have been enjoying...

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    The iron sounds really cool. My issue is i tried to run before crawling. Up until this build the only joinery i used was pocket holes. My 2nd issue was not building the parts, but assembling them all together. My plans just did not work out cause wood moves so much, even after letting it rest.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    With my first kid on the way i figured how hard could building a crib be? Holly F@#k was I ignorant. The most frustrating thing i have ever done. Black walnut, ambrosia maple, wedged through mortise and tenon, bridal joints. I need a stiff drink.

    Maggie’s What is your million dollar idea?....

    You know how much of a shitstorm this is going to create? People already litter the "stupid questions" forum weekly with "MOA vs. MIL". Hope LL's inbox is empty.

    A little 6.5 help

    Same story here. But i think im going to go back to 308 for a while. Im tired of not being able to find powder and bullets, but then again have not had to look in a while. I did have a spare bartlein turned at the time the rifle was built, so thats been in the safe waiting.

    A little 6.5 help

    This is the same 200 rnds of hornady brass that i purchased in anticipation of the build. It probably has 7-9 loadings. No case head separations yet, but that was one of concerns, that the brass may be getting thin.

    A little 6.5 help

    I have loaded thousands of rounds with the Hornady match 6.5 creedmore die set. When I got the rifle, I started load development using a Redding. 0.29 bushing to achieve 2 thousandths neck tension IIRC. Tonight, I was charging cases and seating bullets, but I am able to pull the bullet out by...

    My AR10 experiment.

    I had LRI build me a very nice Rem700 a number of years ago, and ever since then I have only been able to think of how much fun a semi auto platform would be. So fast forward a number of years, and Aero Precision has a sale i just can't pass up on. I also thought this would be a good time to...

    Maggie’s Birthday Cards for Leah

    Whats gonna happen when the media finds out about this. If I am not mistaken we are blood thirsty savages. No way would we be capable of a kind act to brighten a 7 year old's day? Keep up the good work Gents.
