    Gunsmithing DPMS 6.5 creedmoor Barrel with off center chamber?

    Don't be surprised if they say it falls within their specs. But then again they might not.

    Toasted my 260...........New barrel is on!

    Sorry for the heart aches, but why didn't your smith bore scope it prior to install? Might have saved you a lot of time, effort and monies.

    aics mags feeding problem

    I had the same set up in .223, and had to do as Bob suggested. If you screw up, Jeff (CDI) will send you a new mag release.

    6.5 Creedmoor ladder test results

    Personally, I'd check out 9. Good vertical and probably exiting the barrel at it's apex. But what do I know.

    New Savage 12 LRP 260 Rem

    I think he is referring to the Viperskins.

    Gunsmithing AI mag fitment

    I took my borescope and check out my rifles, which are short actions, and found that the mag stops on the receiver in the front, the feed lips on the sides and possibly the adl tit (blind mag attachment point) at the rear. I wonder if this should be the same on the long actions.

    Gunsmithing AI mag fitment

    A friend of mine just bought a LA AICS. He installed his 6.5x55 Rem700 into it then inserted the mag. The mag went in and locked, but it would move up an additional .375" or so. So my question is, what stops the mag? In my short action AICS, the mag is stopped by the bottom of the receiver...

    New to long range shooting and building a 260 Remington

    Sounds like a good build to me. Good luck finding brass, unless you buy Lapua or decide to reform .243, 7mm-08 or maybe some .308 with possibly some neck turning. Don't get me wrong here, but I would've pick a different stock. The stock you have will do the job, but I had one and just didn't...

    Powder In Stock

    It's taken me a period of 6 months to acquire kegs of Varget, IMR4350, IMR4064, AA4350, H4350 and Benchmark. I even have a decent supply of .22lr and 17HMR. Now, I think I'm set for quite awhile.

    Gunsmithing Reamer lead time

    I've rented reamers a couple of times when I needed one in a hurry. Comes in the mail in a couple of days, use it for I think 3 or 4 days and then mail it back to them in their supplied postage paid box. But I believe this is only for SAMMI spec'd reamers. It's been awhile, so I suffer from...

    2 stage ar trigger

    A few yrs ago, I got a Geissele SSA and tweeked the trigger return spring to lighten up the first stage a little. Then I replaced the disconnect spring with one out of a factory trigger. This lightened up the second stage a little also. The one thing I had to make sure of was that the...

    Gunsmithing Buying a barrel with pre-cut chamber/tenon?

    I have a Remington action that I installed a Shilen prefit short chambered barrel on. First I had to fit a recoil lug so that I had the minimal bolt lug clearance and bolt nose clearance. Then I rented a reamer and hand reamed till I got a +1 chamber. I was amazed that this barrel shot so...

    setting up benchsource annealer

    I was under the impression that zinc had a colorless burn. But I agree that pink case necks tend to be almost a dead soft. But I have fired a few of them in .223 before.

    setting up benchsource annealer

    I use the Giraud, which takes about 7-8 sec. because it only uses one torch. My brass shows a definite heat line, but no blue hue like many have shown. But it does give it a different gold color to it. You might try turning your torches down a bit to get the dwell time. Also, I only use the...

    Rifle Scopes Do you typically use ALL that magnification?

    When shooting targets, usually maxed out unless mirage is present. These are with the Nightforce NP-R1 reticle. The Razor has such a thick reticle on max power (ffp), I think I will delegate it to shooting steel.

    Where to buy AICS 2.0 hybrid?

    I think 17874 got it. Does look like the newer style rear skins only.

    Where to buy AICS 2.0 hybrid?

    Looks like the AIAX to me. Do you want the whole rifle or just the AICS AX chassis? Ooops. I stand corrected. It was late and I didn't noticed the thumbhole butt.

    What's your favorite cheek riser for a fixed stock?

    I like the Karsten. Easily adjustable height for different positions. The only downside might be that some people don't like the idea of drilling holes in their stock.
