    Gunsmithing To rebarrel or wait.

    Yeah. I was gung-ho to get it finished, but now I'm thinking maybe wait get my basic fundamentals right before I sink more money into the build. I don't really think I'd be gaining a whole lot by rebarreling it right now vs waiting.

    Harris bipod won't lock down on manners stock

    I can not get my harris bipod to lock down on my manners T4 stock. Where the forend is so wide, the bipod rotates side to side. Is there anyway to stop this? May not be a huge deal just aggravates me.
