    Is there a reason there's not many bullpups?

    Specifically in the military. Trigger issues aside it seems like the bullpup platform is perfect for long range rifles and military guns. Bolt actions suffer from extremely long lengths especially when a can is put on which also means tons of weight on the end of the gun making non supported...

    Sounds like a good candidate for a group buy to save shipping.

    Other Mil/LEO rifles that use FA762ss? Looking for a new clone build

    Considering there's not too many guns other than what you listed even recently used in the military at least in the US I don't think so. I also don't know of any set gun used by the police or SWAT in the US. I always just thought it varied on department to department and they just used guns on...

    McMillan TAC-338

    Yea sorry I can't help you on TAC-338 info. I have done a lot of research on modern military firearms of the US and never came across any info on it. The US military and yes SOCOM currently uses this as their .338...

    McMillan TAC-338

    I don't think the SEALs used the TAC-338 widely. Chris Kyle was probably one of the only or few to use one since he was so proficient. Or it may be a case where only 5-10 were issued and because of their jobs hush hush nature there's not exactly info about them open to the public. One gun for...

    Heavy vs Light Rifles

    Besides the obvious benefits of a light rifle, is there any more on either side? Do you prefer a rifle designed to be light or an uncompromising heavy gun built for ultimate accuracy and rigidity? I know it varies for different applications but even the military doesn't seem to care that their...

    Trade question when shipping...

    If you are the one who was approached for the sale I'd expect for them to send you their gun first. This is because a lot of the time scammers will respond to ads rather than post them. Helps evade bans on websites. Not always the case though. A few days ago there were like 3 Barrett M107s for...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Here is the AW in question. When I first got it I was surprised on freaking heavy it was even though it only had a 18" bbl. It was a former police or SWAT gun. It has a Surefire flash hider on it which is a suppressor host. Same suppressor on the militaries XM3 rifle. I may strip the camo off...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I'm inexperienced in these guns so I'll just take your word for it. I always just assumed the knobs were fully round so it looked a bit strange to me when I got it since it's my first AI. And it's kind of hard to tell in images since most are taken at angles that doesn't show where the flat part...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    So it is factory but is it factory for an AW? While the bolt you posted looks like mine I'm pretty sure the one you posted is from a newer AT not an AW. Notice the 6 lugs, my AW has 3. Heres some images of actual AW bolts I found that point out what I mean by being fully round.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Hello y'all. Just got my first AI, an excellent condition AW in .308 that was a police trade in. I'm really happy with the gun knowing how beat some trade in guns are. My only problem with it is that I was planning on trying to restore it back to all original condition eventually but I'm at a...

    L96A1-aka The Green Meanie- Forgotton Weapons

    Something about the L96 I never knew is that they destroyed them all. What a waste. It would be great if someone made replica L96 skins that could be fixed to an AT or AW action for us retro fans. The action looks near identical.

    WTB: Accuracy International Bolt Knob

    Thanks for trying to help guys but I think I should clarify. I am fine with the knob it has now in terms of use but for the sake of resale value and collectability I just want an original AI part to have. So for that reason I'm really trying to source an original which again is probably a...

    WTB: Accuracy International Bolt Knob

    My Arctic Warfare has an aftermarket bolt knob on it and I want to go back to the round one. I know it's a long shot but if anyone has one they will sell I really need it.

    Hidden Gems

    I just found a "hidden gem" Was doing some Mk 13 research today and I found 3 pictures with a TAC-50 and Mk-13 together. It turns out the US does field the TAC-50 designated as the Mk 15 Mod 0. This is literally the only info I could find about the Mk 15 on the internet...

    Mk 13 Mod 0 Information Thread

    Maybe so but the thread/forum must have been deleted because I've searched for hours, I've gone through every thread on this forum and m40rilfe that contained the words "Mk 13". If you have a specific one in mind you can find it and link it.
