    Short Action Customs Alpha 11 action and "LBC" Mod

    Yes, it will fit into the Whiskey 3 chassis with out any issues. The Huber concepts trigger works perfectly fine as well. The LBC mod does not change the relationship between the trigger and cocking piece. Mark

    Short Action Customs: DTA 223 conversion. Updates 2/4/14

    Shooters, Just wanted to give a quick update. As you can imagine we have a pretty large work load and developing projects like this can make it difficult to balance everything out, but we have been working hard on wrapping this up as soon as possible. The two obstacles that we have been...

    Gunsmithing rebarreling an already trued action? ?

    Not trying to get religious on you guys, but for me, when I read the Bible you either believe it all or you do not believe any of it. That being said, it is the same philosophy for rifle work. If we are going to accept any money from a customer for any service, we plan on doing our absolute...

    Gunsmithing rebarreling an already trued action? ?

    One more thought. Today we received 5 barreled actions from a group of shooters who needed the muzzles threaded for a TBAC 30P-1 suppressor. The problem was they were already threaded by the original builders. It appears that the builders just threaded the 5/8 x 24 threads to a muzzle brake...

    Gunsmithing rebarreling an already trued action? ?

    Here is some information out of my machinist handbook. 1 1/16 x 16 TPI internal thread. 1.0625-16 2B thread. Pitch Diameter Max 1.0219" Min 1.0284" Difference .0065" My point is if we assume that the internal threads on your action are on the smallest side...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast 30-BAS

    I have been shooting one for a while not and I really like it. Its obviously a little louder than the 30BA, but for the size and weight, its great. My biggest concern is the fact that I cant get a suppressor cover to say on the thing with out cutting it up or using one of the silicone covers...

    Short Action Customs: DTA 223 conversion. Updates 2/4/14

    Shooters, I think we can get the blackout to work just fine. I cycled a few dummy 220 black out rounds through it and it seemed to work out fine. We will have to make up a barrel and just see. There is no reason why we cant do a 223 AI unless there is some type of feeding issue with the 40...

    im dumb and just dont know , 7mm-08 and 308 differences 18.5-20in barrel

    Just built a 7mm Creedmoor for a customer with a 18.5" barrel for a customer and he is getting 2650 FPS with 42 gr of Varget and the 162 A-Max. Seems to be good performance out of such a small package. Mark
