    Can a barrel be fluted after being chambered?

    Throw Kampfeld Custom in the hat as well. He does great fluting work.

    Defiance bought out

    Good luck to Defiance and here's hoping for the best. At the end of the day, we should all hope for this and other U.S. companies to make it. Otherwise, it's gonna look like the shotgun market with more items coming out of Turkey.

    Rifles you have, but don't like.

    CZ 550 American in .243. CZ says it has a 10 twist barrel but it won't stabilize 100 gr bullets. It's a pig for a sporter in terms of weight at that.

    Gunsmithing Barreled Action Wait Time Concern

    Gotta give LRI credit and a shout out to Eric and Caleb. They did mine with my supplied parts within the week while I was out there on vacation. Took it out with me and picked it up on return home. Saved me shipping and worry of courier loss/damage.

    Custom builder poll! Tacops vs KMW

    Not to choose one over the other, I only have a KMW that was built circa 2007-8 on a Surgeon action. Terry does things I really like such serializing all parts on the gun. I have builds from other 'smiths and he provides the best attention to detail based on what I own. Would love to own a...

    Blueprint or custom action for Remington 700?

    I have custom actions and have trued REM 700 actions. I’ll never true another 700 action. This is due to needing to send the action in for a new barrel. With a custom action that guarantees headspace, you can order shouldered barrels and screw then on yourself. That’s a positive for me.

    LRI Heavy Tactical Rem Profile Lug and KRG Bravo

    LRI just rebarreled a Rem700 for me. I decided to go with the Rem 700 Rem profile heavy tactical lug (.300 thick). For those of you running this recoil lug from LRI, was it a direct drop-in to a KRG Bravo or did you have to mill the slot?

    Gunsmithing Rem BDL to AICS?

    Stupid question but can't find the exact answer. I have an older Remington 700 LTR (w/ original BDL bottom metal). Is this receiver a drop-in for something like a KRG Bravo so that I can use AICS magazines without any milling on the receiver?

    Stabilizing 69gr .223 in 1:9 twist barrel

    I had a Savage 1/9 twist that would stabilize Hornady 75 gr HPBTs with no issue. However, a Howa 1500 .223 1/9 does not like the RMR 69 grainers.

    R700 Barrel Swap, And…?

    I have trued and untrued Remingtons as well as custom actions. If I was to do over, I'd go custom actions for a "trued" action and keep the Remingtons factory. My only reason for this is to be able to perform Remage setups on the Remington without needing a 'smith for a barrel install. Once the...

    6 Creedmoor - 115 DTAC HBN with H4350/Alpha LRP?

    Advice is appreciated here. I've looked around and haven't quite had my questions answered. I put a new 6 Creed Krieger 26" 7.5 twist (SAAMI chamber - Keystone Accuracy) on an Origin action. I've done some load development on new Alpha LRP brass and wanted input on what others are seeing with...

    Tell me about Kentucky

    I can't compare as I don't know. I can say you'll sweat clean through your shirt by 7:30am if outside more than 30 minutes.

    Tell me about Kentucky

    Born and raised South of Nashville (Williamson County) before it is what it is today. Prices are outta sight. Folks from CA, NY, etc. are entering into bidding wars and driving prices up that much higher. Lots of good in TN. However, where you get wind in CO, we get humidity. July and August are...
