    Tac-Ops X-Ray 260 DMB

    Looks good to go. We have transferred a few Tac Ops rifles as an FFL in the area and they all looked top notch. Customers reported they shoot as good. Mike is a good guy and has spent lots of time on the phone helping iron out fine points for us, I'm glad they have been going strong for so...

    Gunsmithing OVERWATCH became self aware on 8.23.13 @0934. . .

    Chad, Assuming its a 2 lug bolt design? Looks like the bolt handle area is just not cut out of the stock yet to lock it into battery. Mark

    My new long range rig - TVP built Remmy 700 in 7mm Rem Mag Tactical Match (updated)

    Looks nice, I was thinking about playing around with the 7mm Rem Mag. I'm assuming that you mean its a tight neck chamber that requires turning the brass around the neck? For a no turn chamber but with a tighter neck, it is usually around .004" around the neck total clearance. If Sierra...

    bead blasting melonite

    We do it from time to time. You lose the Melonite Color, but do not blast through the Melonite. We do this frequently with a Melonited bolt where we blast and paint the handle and leave the body alone. Mark

    SAC: Rem 700 308 in Manners MCS-TF4 OD Green/Black.

    Shooters, Just posting some pictures of some recent builds that we completed. This rifle turned out great and will be a blast to shoot. We started with a Rem 700 short action that was trued, the bolt handle was broken off and reinstalled in the correct location to increase extraction and...

    SAC+KMW 243/308 Switchbarrel

    Correct, when we received the rifle it was barreled up as a 308 in a complete build with Terry's IMB system which looks really nice. We installed the customers supplied Krieger barrel and sent everything back to the customer. He wanted to keep the KMW 308 barrel for a switch barrel. Terry's...

    PTG bolt for R700 to help primary extraction?

    NickNick, It would most likely help the bolt and action extraction. What is important is that the bolt handle is as far forward (with a little clearance of course) to the front of the bolt handle cutout of the action. This maximizes the extraction. I would most likely get in touch with Nate...

    Pressure before veloctiy...help with the 7mm Creedmoor and 156 Cauteruico's

    Shooters, I have been working on some new loads for the 7mm Creedmoor and I'm having trouble getting velocity with on one load because I run into pressure first. The goal is to push high bc (.630) 7mm bullets with high velocity (2900 FPS) in a true short action, high capacity configuration...

    Suppressors TBAC 30BA quality test by Short Action Customs

    In this video we have a Bartlein 30 cal barrel that we just threaded 5/8 x 24 and squared the shoulder. Next we installed an out of the box TBAC 30BA muzzle device and tightened it up with a wrench. Next we installed a TBAC 30BA suppressor on the brake and tightened it up hand time. We placed...
