    ARC Receivers

    FWIW: Ol Ted and I are good friends and we chat often. The new action replaces the Archimedes and the Nucleus. As I understand it, they are no longer available. The Mausingfield is still around. We argue often about the Mausingfield and I pout like a child in an attempt to guilt him into...

    Overkill 300BLK Bolt Gun Project

    My wife is the glue here, lol. I'd either be in jail or prison without her. Ever since the Remmy supernova its tough to find M700 stuff. I have a small pile of LH stuff, but that's it. Good luck.

    Overkill 300BLK Bolt Gun Project

    The receivers are the same. The only difference is the bolt face diameter. If you are planning to use a detachable magazine it should work provided that the case rim overlaps the nose of the bolt sufficiently enough to ensure reliable feeding. If you load a magazine and insert it, just make...

    Left-Hand Chassis Conversion

    Some "Transgender" surgery I did just last week. Right-eh into a Left-eh. The "lug nut" looking flush cup thingys are something he had me whip up for some kind of widgit tripod thing he has. Arca rail is still in process. I had to pin the weight and followed up with a little glue as the AL...

    Need help diagnosing issue with Rem 700 LA scope base...

    This, unfortunately, is pretty typical on M700 stuff. The good news is it's an easy fix. We likely won't have to weld anything up. All that is required is punching the holes to 8-40. We'll need your barreled action for about ten days. The link below describes the process in more detail and...

    Saturday. Mid 50s. It's always nice here right before we get a blaster. (We are in blizzard conditions right now) Spearfish Canyon has a small range complex that I've used for 20 years. I had the place all to myself that morning. My initial zeroing procedure for an optic is about as...

    This was overdocumented a bit sort of intentionally. His son has all the pics via messager along with notes on the what and why. He's putting a slide show thing together for ol Dad.

    No fancy engraving on this one. One, I didnt know what to say and I just wanted to keep it relatively simple. His son and I joke that he'll need to pawn it someday to cover spousal support should his Mother ever come to her senses. (This ol man talks more shit than anyone I've ever known...

    It's purely cosmetic, something I have done for 20 or so years now off and on.

    We are rumored to have some nice weather Saturday morning. A front isn't due until Sunday. Assuming that holds, I'll run this thing through the paces then. All cased up. Thanks for the kind words and for lookin'

    Kidd 1022 stock job...

    Mcmillan 54.18 blank is where this started. This is a "double lug" 1022 made by Kidd. I had no archive data on this action so I started by modeling up the receiver. You'll see in the photos where the grunt work was tested first on a piece of 4x4 cribbing. I brought one my rifles in as a...

    These guns always look rough as they migrate through the shop. If you spend any time around obnoxious/fast cars, they are almost always ugly creatures at the beginning. -My wife's 2009 Pontiac G8 GT shortly after we bought it. (for almost nothing as it'd been written off by insurance as a...

    The first stocks we ever painted here were painful to do. Resources (money) were very limited. The solution Kalli and I came up with back then was to make stencils using masking tape. We "looted" a Walmart one evening for all of their big plastic cutting boards. I copied images of...

    I don't know the history of this action. When I kicked off our group buy in 2013 a WY Hi Po showed up one day with it. I have a soft spot for old/relic receivers like this so I started my pitch to talk him out of it. He agreed and that was that. The thing has been sitting in my safe ever...

    I'd call them "sorta Smears" to be more accurate. The blanks I buy always come with bondo patch fill. The little pin holes and whatnot are dabbed so they are speckled with blue dots. My guess is that these were smears that didnt quite make the grade. So, they filled the blems and shipped...
