    Dissapointed in Lapua brass.

    Just contact them, they will get you sorted out. I had a single defective piece in a box of 223 recently; it had a huge gouge up the side of the case that was clearly caused by an issue during manufacturing. They promptly sent me about 10 new cases, some sticks, a hat, and a t-shirt. They...

    Whats custom Worth?

    My only advise would be to start researching custom actions and some of the nicer factory rifles (Tikka, Bergara, etc.). Like you said, you are new to this world and there are so many choices and things to consider, its almost impossible for us to list them all here for you. You really won't...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Just to clear the air so no misinformation is present... Like Bighorn mentioned, this is only something I was experiencing with my 223 Push Feed bolt head. I also have a 223 CRF bolt head that does not exhibit any issues and holds the cartridge snug to the bolt face as designed. The problem...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    EDIT: This was just a simple issue with the extractor in the 223 Push Feed Bolt Heads ONLY and has been addressed by Bighorn with a replacement extractor. I will get a video tonight. I can't answer your first question right now, but the brass usually just ends up besides the rifle, no real...

    EDIT: This was just a simple issue with the extractor in the 223 Push Feed Bolt Heads ONLY and has been addressed by Bighorn with a replacement extractor. You did this with a 223 bolt head? If so I am assuming you mean the CRF 223 bolt head?? I might have to get back in touch with Bighorn...

    EDIT: This was just a simple issue with the extractor in the 223 Push Feed Bolt Heads ONLY and has been addressed by Bighorn with a replacement extractor. For those running 223 Rem with the TL3's... Has anyone noticed that upon ejection the cartridge is essentially thrown into the side of the...

    Lefty prone shooters - RH/LH bolt?

    Lol at all the RH shooters (who shoot RH actions) talking about how easy it is for LH shooters to use RH actions. I have a friend who says this all the time as well; always saying that if he was left handed he would just shoot RH actions... lying piece of $#@% lol. I experienced sheer joy the...

    Lefty prone shooters - RH/LH bolt?

    I am a left handed shooter and my first bolt gun with a RH. Now that I've gotten proper left hand actions I would never go back. From a prone position, I find it critical to operate the bolt with my trigger hand so that my support hand under the stock can stay in place.

    Foundation Stock?

    I haven't held a foundation stock, but the construction kind of reminds me of Micarta, which should have some pretty decent texturing/grip. I can't imagine that it could be any more slick than a McMillan fiberglass stock.

    Gunsmithing Recommend me a Gunsmith for Barrel Job and Chambering

    Seems the OP is very lucky to have so many quality smiths in his local area. Now the hard part is picking one! I with that there were more reputable smiths near RI.

    Gunsmithing Vudoo 22 and Manners Mini-chassis issue

    I think Manners' mini-chassis inlet requires some modification from its "stock form" to work with the TriggerTech series of triggers. Back when I was ordering my T4A I was talking with Tom and when I mentioned using a TriggerTech he said he would make sure the mini-chassis was inletted to...

    Gunsmithing Reducing Ejector Force

    ^^^ Like he said, try trimming a few coils off the ejector spring. Worst case if you mess it up, you have to get another ejector spring which is like 80 cents or something like that. As far as the marks the ejector leaves on the case heads, if it really isn't ejector swipe due to pressure...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Interesting, was that one always whisper quiet, or do you think its just been broken in? I didn't want to use that wording because it sounds bad, but yes, I would say this is how mine sounds. I figured that it would break in a bit, like I said I've only got around 300 rounds through it, but...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Question for my fellow TL3 owners. Does your bolt/receiver make a slight "zipper" noise when just moving the bolt forward and backwards? Mine is smooth and definitely not gritty or anything like that, but makes some noise when compared to a Stiller and a Kelblys. Is this just more of just a...

    Need help: 223AI mag lips spreading

    This may be a stupid question... but how do I disassemble the 223 Accurage Mag so that I can trim the insert? It looks like there is a little "button" on the bottom plate of the mag and if you disengage that, you should be able to slide the plate off, but it seems to take considerable force? I...

    Finally got my rifle set up the way I want it.

    Sorry, I didn't notice it was a McMillan stock, I thought it was just an HS Precision or something similar. If you like that style of stock, than I would recommend keeping it; McMillan stocks are great and you wouldn't be gaining anything by switching to Grayboe (except for adjustment features).

    Finally got my rifle set up the way I want it.

    Nice rifle, glad you are enjoying it. You will have many options to upgrade in the future as well. I could see myself sticking it in a Grayboe Renegade, and maybe throwing a Remage prefit barrel on it! Turn that MOA in half-MOA. :p

    To nitride or to not nitide barrel

    In my opinion, that factory barrel isn't worth the time/trouble/money to get it nitrided. What is the barrel's finish now? Stainless or blued? If its really bothering you, just spray paint it black yourself. I have some seen DIY paint jobs come out pretty good on barrels, and you really...

    Awesome news, excited to see what colors you end up offering. I'm assuming there will be some additional cost?
