    Gunsmithing Kimber Jungle Warrior

    Here is my latest Cerakote project. It's a Kimber Warrior 1911 that had the standard Kimpro finish. It's a custom color with 90% Magpul OD Green and 10% Titanium to add flake. Even with a high gloss ratio it got pretty dull after drying. When wet it was awesome. So finished it in Micro...

    a look at a new york "arsenal".

    Your right OP. MY 16 year old has a much nicer collection and none of them high point, bb or airsoft. Actually the best part of the collection is the green bong in the middle. :cool: Frankly I'd be embarrased if that article was about me.

    I want to build a budget .338 - Ideas

    Exactly. I guess my choice of words was wrong. I reload so I'll never be $5 per round (at least after I get some brass). My thoughts were to really build my own which is why I thought Savage. I am a DIY guy and although I appreciate a good custom rifle by a reputable gunsmith I appreciate...

    I want to build a budget .338 - Ideas

    As stated I'm jonesing for a .338 rifle. I'm a Savage junkie because I like working on them myself so it will be a homebuilt Savage. Savage makes two decent budget .338 Lapua rifles the FCP10 and the 111 LRH. I understand the LM has a different bolt head and a longer magazine than the...

    .223 hand load suggestions for 1/9 bolt rifle ??? HELP

    69g or 77g SMK in LC brass. 26.5g for the 69 and 26g for the 77 of Alliant Power Pro 2000MR. You will get over 2850fps with no pressure issues and be extremely accurate. 2000MR is a superb powder for the heavy .223 bullets. I ran 25g of 2000MR with the long 80g Hornady Amax in a LC case in...

    anyone running 180 accubond out of a 308

    I have. Ran them in LC brass with CCI200 primers over 44g of Reloader 15 seated to mag lenth of 2.80. Very accurate and real killers. This is about the max load and just starting to show pressure signs. My son shot a large doe at 120 yards and it was dead before she hit the ground. We...

    260 rem & 2000mr ladder test - initial results inside

    I found the Alliant data to be woefully low at 40 for the 120g bullet. Since I am shooting the 140 Amax I decided to start at 41 and go to 44 in full grain steps just to get going. I was mainly looking for pressure signs and to see if it was worth doing more work with this powder. It is all...

    Krylon over Cerakote?

    Yep I just refinished a fully rattle canned .308 savage last weekend. Everything was painted...scope, caps and even harris bipod. Put all the parts in a tupperware bowl and coated with stripease. Keep recoating as it dries as it works. Keep it wet until it starts to slough off then hit it...

    Best current price on .308 lapua brass ?

    Anyone figure why you can get .308 for $70 per hundred and the .260 is $95! Same damn case with a smaller neck. Go figure.

    MATEN 308/MAGPUL PRS stock Overall Length\Deluxe Lockable Voodoo Tactical 42-inch Case?

    Go 18! There is no appreciable gain from going with the 20" ballistically. The 18" will be handier and make the rifle balance better. I have built 8 Matens and only 1 was a 20". The 20" tube averaged only 20fps faster which to me was not worth the extra 2". An 18" barrel and the PRS will...

    260 Rem Load Worries

    BTW Hodgdon now rates 44.5 of H4350 as max load. Start Speed Pressure Max Speed Pressure H4350 .264" 2.780" 41.5 2,590 50,100 PSI 44.5 2,735 58,000 PSI I still think this is conservative. Is not max pressure for the .308 case...

    260 Rem Load Worries

    I did load testing yesterday too. 24" LW-50 1:8 twist barrel. 140g Hornady Amax with H4350, once fired Lapua brass and CCI BR2 primers. COAL 2.90. I ran my batches from 43-45 in .5 increments. Magnetospeed V2 Chrony. 43 - 2690 FPS 43.5 - 2720 FPS 44 - 2760 FPS 44.5 - 2830 FPS 45 -...

    Ar trigger?

    Yes technically a 2 stage but it shoots like a single stage. The take up is so sorth you will never tell when it changes. The SSA-E has a distinct transition point. You can bounce off it with your finger. I love that for precision target work and the 3G for fast shooting. I have owned and...

    Ar trigger?

    I have tried them all and my favorite in 2 stage is the Giesselle SSA-E. In single stage it's the Giesselle 3G. Both are spectacular but expensive. For a recent build for a friend he did not have the bucks for a $200 trigger so I tried one of the AGL Combat Triggers. These are supposedly...

    Don't know what to get!!

    I'd go with the Tikka too if it is truly a 1:8 twist. If you hand load you can run the big 80g Hornady Amax which is a fantastic bullet for the 22-250. I ran it in a 26" McGowen 1:8 twist in a Savage with excellent results. In Lapua brass over 34g of Alliant Power Pro 2000MR I was getting...

    Thoughts on this SWFA combo for a 3 gun style setup?

    It is a Seekins based rifle which is not bad but as stated above for $2100 you can build a killer rifle. I love Glenn Seekins stuff. The recievers are superb and I would definately go that route. You can get the Seekins SPR billet lower for $250 and the MSCR monolithic upper and rail for...
