    Gunsmithing FN out of windage adjustment

    I understand the feeling, and I have had two FN horror stories myself (not the guns fault). First I bought one and had it shipped fedex.. They smashed it and that took 8 months of fighting insurance companies to get my money back.. No gun.. Then I found another one and UPS smashed the stock...

    Gunsmithing Timing a muzzlebrake

    The amount of shim you will need will vary, I just put one on and it was pointing at the ground without the shim.. I needed 25+ thou to get it lined up right, and at the point the seam is incredibly noticeable.. If you want no seam, you need to do what the 338rum stated.

    Best muzzle brake under $100

    I just put one of these on a 300 win mag, and it tamed it very well.. One for a smaller caliber that you could turn down to the exact barrel profile would also be very nice. Home Page

    Traveling for work

    I just did some traveling for a firearms industry job.. You are away from your friends and family.. as everyone said above, and they and you (can) very quickly get annoyed with that situation. I would just suggest really looking into all the details of traveling for work(in regards to the...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Indecisiveness

    This thread is old, but I just ordered a Ross brake for a 300 win. I am very interested to test performance, mostly because I have been through a few brakes I have not been satisfied with, and thought I would give this a shot.

    FN SPR actions for sale

    Chuck, The defiance is very very smooth, and well built.. Again I agree with you on the trigger, and having to clean up even "custom" actions.. But if you don't want to do the work (or can't) then spitting out the cash is one option. With the cheaper prices on the spr you had my vote, but at...

    FN SPR actions for sale

    I said I like defiance, and if you get the chance to shoot feel one I bet you would agree. Some of the customs have upgraded extractors, bolt release, built in pic rails, and or built in recoil lugs. Many of even the custom actions are not ready to throw a barrel on, and the smith I worked with...

    FN SPR actions for sale

    When a suppressor company doesn't make a can rated for a magnum caliber and you really really need a suppressor for that 300wsm you are shooting.. What do you do Ham? Do you just say screw it.. My favorite can company doesn't have one, so that's final.. No you go take a look at another company...

    FN SPR actions for sale

    I have experienced the same thing.. Gunsmiths saying they are crap or not willing to work on them.. primarily because.. they were not taught to work on them.. They are a good action for the money, and I own two SPR's myself. It is funny also because the same smiths will then show me a rem700...

    Hunting & Fishing I'm traveling from Missouri, where should I go prairie dog hunting?

    I think towns getting shot up are a good thing, it takes a bit to recover, but it prevents the plaque from completely wiping them out eventually.
