    Gunsmithing Tikka magazine retainer clip

    Yep, it will be another few weeks before I'm home from deployment though.

    Anyone use Aluma Hyde II?

    I think what I will do is get a .30" wooden dowel and rig it up on a rotisserie type setup to spray it, and either use the oven to heat cure if it will fit, or build an oven out of aluminum foil and a cardboard box with a space heater. I am going to do the bolt body too, but I will tape off the...

    Anyone use Aluma Hyde II?

    Well I went ahead and ordered a can of the matte black. I was going to do olive as it is one of my favorites, but a lot of reviews said the OD color looked like foliage-and I absolutely hate foliage green. I'll post up how it goes when I apply it. Did either of you bake yours? I am not sure if...

    Gun Safe?

    FWIW there are 2 fatboys-the 48 and the 64. I have the 64

    Kasich rolls over on guns

    I think a person who is planning mass murder/suicide isn't going to be discouraged by such things. If he considers guns too difficult to use (not impossible because machine shop equipment is still around) he could build a gasoline bomb or any other of a number of ways of going about it. In fact...

    Kasich rolls over on guns

    Its absurd to think making more things illegal would do anything. Its already illegal to kill people, so all the laws do that ban possession in certain areas do is add tack-on charges for people who plan to get killed when they do this sort of thing anyway. The thing is, laws don't actually do...

    Rifle Scopes Larue mounts

    I am not a fan of Larue mounts, yes I know the Marines use them, I had one on my IAR for 6 months; that's not a good reason. There are better designs out there, particularly Bobro, but I also like ADM. I am not speaking specifically about the rings, the QD system is not great.

    Kasich rolls over on guns

    Kasich is a pretty standard establishment Republican. We have a leftist party in government, and we have a centrist party that keeps ceding ground to the left under the guise of a conservative/right party. This is why our policies have trended left for decades So that is to say Kasich is not a...

    Two stage triggers

    I don't like them enough to trade the single stage on my Tikka for one, but being able to manipulate the bolt with the safety on might be enough to sway me. I am waiting on the KRG trigger to see how it stacks up to the Timney before I make a decision

    Anyone use Aluma Hyde II?

    When I bought my Tikka Varmint back in high school I originally wanted the blued version, but I could only find the stainless in stock near me. Now I am planning on doing a variety of upgrades listed in my sig, but since I use this as my main hunting rifle I would also like to do something...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Thinking more about this, I think I am going to refinish the action and barrel on mine in OD Alumahyde II. I wanted the blued finish but got stainless because it was in stock; I don't think silver will go all that well with a black stock and brown scope but olive and black is a good combo IMHO...

    New bling from KRG

    Huh, I wonder if this may be the solution then for the dudes whose CTR cocking indicators are hitting the cheek riser. The Bravo isn't compatible with LA Tikkas anyway

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    For those of you who have these already, is there a compartment in the pistol grip? There's a little cutout at the bottom of the grip but I can't tell from any pictures if that's what it is

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'm out of country for a few more weeks so I haven't got to play with mine yet but Tikkas are all built on the same action length, just with a different bolt stop that places the ledge further forward or back in the raceway to limit bolt travel. Some other members mentioned that the SA T3 has...

    Glades armory read me

    I ordered one of their black melonite w/ oversized tactical knobs and an aluminum shroud for my Tikka a couple weeks ago. I wanted the plain, smooth teardrop style handle-not a knurled or pineapple type and theirs was pretty much exactly what I had in mind. They arrived within days so the...

    Is yours a CTR?

    Gun Safe?

    I have a Fatboy 64 and I'll be running out of room after a few more purchases. Gun safe capacity ratings are very optimistic; if you have all shotguns or Ruger #1s then maybe that many will fit, but bolt knobs on bolt action rifles or even handles on semiautos will take away space to set them...

    New bling from KRG

    This is encouraging to see; mine is a Varmint model I bought back in 2007, not a CTR, so it has the actual short action bolt stop. I read in another thread here-perhaps the Tikka T3 thread-that there is a short action stop, a long action stop, and a CTR stop that is not quite as long as the LA...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Yeah and its shorter so it should solve the bolt throw issues. Curious how it'd look though

    New bling from KRG

    The Email I got from KRG saying that mine is on backorder mentioned an estimate of 3-4 weeks, and that was a week ago. So probably 2-3 weeks until they are back in stock.
