    2014 GAP GRIND/BUSHNELL PRO/AM hosted by K&M PRT (29-31 August)

    The forecast looks pretty grim. Last year was down right miserable with rain...This year looks even more wet...If this keep up, next year I'm bringin' a kayak. I'm sure it will still be a great match. At least I won't be wet eating dinner.

    Cutting foam in a pelican case

    Cutting foam in a pelican case

    I did mine with a Nitrogen laser. I spent a little time making a 1" grid on paper, drawing everything out in CAD and then Laser cutting the foam. It was an absolutely perfect fit. The laser did not melt or burn the foam, it just cut it perfectly. In fact the cut out pieces still fit...

    Range Report 460 S&W Rifle Info Request

    Would love to see a 460 in a bolt action rifle with a 16" barrel sitting in a manners T5A... I'm sure the rim would be an issue. It would probably feed like crap. Might as well go 45-70.

    Building a .223? Ai?

    Yep, The T5 for a hunting rig is absolutely great...The T5A for tactical is the perfect stock for me.

    Building a .223? Ai?

    Stuteville Precision, Crescent Customs or GAP would be my first choices for smiths. What are you planning on doing with the rifle? For a hunting/tactical rig I would go R700 action (if you can find a deal on one), 223 AI, medium palma contour Bartlein barrel 1:7.5 twist in a Manners chassis...

    Rifle fell over, what to do next?

    I always use my USO's as carry handles. Then throw them in the back of the mini truck and haul ass down the bumpy dirt strip that goes back to the range. I'm sure it gets bounced around pretty good back there. If it shifted zero that easy I wouldn't want it. Do yourself a favor and drop that...

    AW vs AICS Magazines - Preference or Performance?

    The AW's also do not have a front plate like the AICS magazines do. You can load a little longer with an AW. I think if the gun is set up correctly both magazines will feed 100% reliably. Also most of the AW's will actually hold 11 rounds.

    Interest in 5/8" Thick AR500 Group Buy??

    I have a large sheet of premium 5/8" Thick AR500 that is an odd size left over from another project/job. Would there be any interest in a small group buy for targets in this thickness? Targets would be waterjet cut, primed and painted white. Each target would have two 1/2" diameter holes for...

    LRP-07 inconsistent accuracy

    65in/lbs is fairly common for the 5/16" nuts (1/2" socket) on the base. However, 40in/lbs seems a little high to me for the small star/allen screws that clamp the tube. I've not seen a ring mfg recommend a torque that high. I would back that off to 20-25 in/lbs. You may be putting ring marks...

    SAC or GAP -- About to order a new Build.

    I'm sure either one would do a great job. GA Precision has done a number of great builds for me. Don't forget to check with Wade @ Stuteville Precision. He's excellent to deal with..https://m.facebook.com/StutevillePrecision?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&_rdr
