    300 Blackout Barrels - why are they always a heavy contour?

    Firstly, the Howa Mini "heavy" barrel has to be the lightest heavy barrel I've ever encountered. It should be call a "bull sporter" rather than "heavy". Secondly, the 300 BLK was literally designed to be suppressed. Considering suppressors in 30 cal are threaded 5/8-24, the barrel needs to be...

    6mm ARC Load Data

    I've got some case forming questions that hopefully you all can help with. First, can I just resize grendel brass with a Lee 6 ARC collet die? Or do I need a FL sizer die? Second, is there any reason I can't trim the grendel brass first, then size, to get the shorter case length? I don't see...

    Need new muzzle brake for 300 PRC

    I'm putting together my first magnum, which will be a 300 PRC as well. I've got a Nomad-L in jail for who knows how long, so in the meantime I'm going to run a APA Fat Bastard 3. I'm somewhat concerned I'm a little recoil shy and this may be too much for me depending on the overall weight I...

    Build an M40A1 for .22lr

    I think at one point I had 2 HB models and 4 Standard models. Records show I paid $425 for the HB and $350 for the Standard barrels. Those were the days.

    Show me your McMillan’s

    Don't see a lot of McHale's. Here's my single shot Bighorn TL2 in 284 Win.

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Does anyone know of an action with savage threads that would work in the 3.850" Long Action Competition model? I've got a 300 PRC barrel on the way, and I really want to try a Cadex, but I've already confirmed Bighorn actions won't work.

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    Basically I often make poor life choices. I bought the rifle with the mismatched bolt and a buggered barrel cheap enough that I could afford to put some money into it. I've done a lot of Richards Microfit stocks, so that's where I ordered from and finished it myself. It didn't have any...

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    I went with a .224" 1-12" barrel. More reloading options this way.

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    This thread reminds me I need to get back to load development for my Win 54 Target 22 K-Hornet that I built.

    Gunsmithing Post bedding cleanup question.

    Just got bedding a couple of stocks and things turned out great. I used Kiwi shoe wax as a release agent and some modeling clay to fill any holes. My questions now is how do I get all this damn Kiwi wax off my action? Hoppes #9 didn't touch it, rubbing alcohol didn't do it either. What...

    Buy cans in pairs, Nomad 30

    Well I just put a Nomad L in jail. I'll likely build a 300 Win Mag for shooting from a bench, and I figured the extra volume and an E-brake would cut the recoil down quite a bit.

    Remington 700 Long Range

    Looks promising if the barrels are made from their new steel. I might have to get one.

    Mack Bro’s SS Evo

    Gotta say I really like this action. I always wanted a 40x in 222 Rem Mag, but they always seemed to elude me, so I made my own. Evo II action in 223, Wyatts long 223 box, HS Precision take off stock, Pac-nor prefit 222 Rem Mag 12 Twist. Haven't had it to the range yet but can't keep my hands...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Took awhile, but it's together and a lot of fun to shoot. Bell and Carlson Stock, Zermatt from Northlands. Barrel was a bit of a hassle. Ordered a Lothar Walther from Optics Planet and they kept sending me updates that my order was postponed. After 3 months, I canceled through them and...

    Winchester M70

    Whoops, I managed to win an auction with a low ball offer so I guess I'm the owner of another Model 70 308 with a heavy barrel. It's a 1986 model short action, aftermarket barrel, and a 3 position stock. I don't know if I want to pick up a marksman style stock, or maybe a standard stock and...

    M5 Long Action Bottom Metal Identification?

    Can anyone tell me who made this bottom metal? I got it in a trade.

    Remington 700 Long Range

    Very interesting. I had one of the Remington Long Range models that was sold through Cabelas, as stated in post #8. However, post #7 implies a new model, most notably with a HS stock instead of the Bell and Carlson M40. If it is a new model with the new barrel steel, I'll buy one in a...
