    How do these gunsmiths stay in business?

    Man, that is sincerely flattering, brother. Not sure what else to say other than we're all glad you got home safely. That was the important thing. Great seeing you. I know it took time out of your busy day to swing by, but we're all glad you did. Hope to see you again soon. Mark

    2013 Steel City Precision Rifle Challenge - Birmingham, AL

    Looking forward to this match for sure. Jim, I'll get with you to wrap up the donation but you for sure have our support. Dave Walker. Thomas Woods and I all plan to attend in some capacity and I'll also talk to you about that. Can't wait! Mark

    AW Magazines in AICS?

    Yes. However, you might (in fact, likely) need to extend the magazine release latch and adjust it to get the magazine seated a little higher in the stock. We laser weld the latches and then fit them as needed. The AWs like to sit a bit closer to the action. Mark

    The Manners Wait.....

    So, you guys didn't get 12 Manners stocks delivered in the last week? Weird. LOL. Yes, the wit sucks. But when Brown pulls up to the door with that box, life is AWESOME. Mark

    AIAX chassis and AW mag problem.

    The AX chassis uses a slightly different magazine than the standard AI and AW. The AX mags have a small notch on the front that locks into the front of the magazine well and then you rock the rear of the magazine in place against the latch. So, to reliably feed non-AX magazines in an AX...

    Eliseo Tube Gun Action - Pierce or Defiance? Need advice.

    We've built with both actions and I can't see a performance difference one way or the other. We've built more Eliseo chassis with Pierce than the Defiance and they all performed exceptionally well. One of the rifles has been used to rack up quite a few F-Class records. Mark

    Manners stocks post em up!!

    I LOVE Manners stocks. Love, love, love them. Built like a tank. Not prone to chipping. LOVE the texture. Price point for what you get is very good. Tom, Matt and all the gang there are just downright good people. In fact, they are friends who go out of their way to help you when you need...

    looking for a chassis for 700sa in stock

    Mile High Shooting and Euro Optics usually have lots of AI chassis systems in stock. And they are site supporters here. We keep AICS and AX chassis systems in stock, mostly for our builds but we sometimes have extras. I know other builders do too. If you have a favorite 'smith, you might...

    Don't think you will see him around much.

    Accuracy International Announcement:

    That is Stacey. Or was Stacey, maybe I should say. Look at the date of that post from him. It was September of 2009 - almost four years ago! LOL. If you need AI help now, Lance is the new guy answering phones and e-mail. Awesome dude. Patrick Law is still with the company as well but is...

    Accuracy International Announcement:

    If you are trying to contact Stacey about AI stuff, don't bother. He left AI quite a while ago. Went to Mile High. Wasn't at Mile High too terribly long. If you check his profile you'll see he hasn't posted on this site since March of last year. Mark

    Accuracy International Announcement:

    Holy thread resurrection, Batman! The AI 300WM magazines can work with 7mm Magnums. So, yes, buy the 2.0 long-action 300WM chassis. In some cases you might need to modify the feed lips very slightly but not a big deal. Mark

    Xtreme Shooting 338 Ti action

    Tom makes a good action. He used to make the Titanium actions for Remington. We've built on them and had nothing but good results. Mark

    Excellent CS from Timney

    Just wanted to publically thank Jeff and all the fine folks at Timney Triggers for the excellent service and thought I'd share my most recent experience. A few weeks ago we had not one, but TWO barreled actions sent in to us for some work. In both cases the customers packaged things, well...

    Accurate Ordnance .223

    Appreciate all the kind words! Good to see those groups shrinking up. I expect your rifle will be shooting like Omar's in no time. Already looking good. Hope everyone has a happy, safe day. Mark

    Proof Research???

    We had a Proof Research barrel in here for some testing. Actually, we were asked to build a rifle for a magazine article using the Proof barrel and Pierce's new Titanium action. It was a Saturn blank in 1:11 twist with Proof's carbon treatment. Rifle shot great. Our experience with carbon...
