    New stock for Tikka Tac-

    Just save up for the Whiskey chassis, you won't regret it. You can also contact KRG and see if they have any more blem gen 2 folders in stock. I went that route to avoid the long wait in line and love mine!

    Gunsmithing Who sells just a Tikka T3 extractor spring??

    So my new Tikka T3 Scout .308 came with a weak extractor spring (I can push the extractor with my pinky and not leave a dent in the skin...) But I don't need a total parts replacement kit like what Brownells sells. I'm sure my Google-fu fails me but does anyone online or local to the Seattle...

    Gunsmithing Normal AR bolt wear?

    Looks just fine, the phosphate surfaces are slicking up due to the rotation of the locking lugs of the bolt into the barrel extension when the rounds are chambered. Clean it really well when you are done and keep going.

    what bore guide?

    As far as Surefire cans go, go to silencershop.com, they were running a special on their 7.62 cans for a bit under 1300.

    what bore guide?

    I haven't had experience with anyone else yet but I do love my Pro Shot adjustable bore guide. Price is right and it works great for my Tikka.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns TRUGLO Brite-Site Tritium for Glock 32

    The other reason I would steer clear of the truglow sights is the length of the front sight and only having the one hole at the far end toward the muzzle makes keeping the sight totally straight and tight on difficult. I couldn't get the front sight on my 23 to sit still even with Loctite. Stick...

    Spike feet or rubber feet!

    I went out for an equipment shakedown last week and i would that on looser soil it was harder for me to load the bipod so i will be investing in a set of spikes shortly.

    Atlas Bipod

    Its what I have on my Tikka. I will be buying the spiked feet to get better traction in the dirt but as it stands, you won't be disappointed.

    Rifle Scopes Best 4.5-14x40mm Scope for 650-750$?

    I am running the new SWFA 3x15 mil/mil and freakin love it. Built like a tank and the glass quality is great for the price.

    Gunsmithing Just snapped TWO Pacific Machine Company SAKO extractors

    I'm curious about this too, I found out my Tikka T3 extractor spring in a new gun is super weak and am looking to do a sako parts swap...

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Evilsvt, it's the UK Gunworks cranked handle. I got it direct from Chris online via PP. Be prepared to pay a lot for shipping if you go that route...

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    Pretty much done with my Tikka build, picked up one of those new SWFA 3x15 mil/mil scopes and went to the hills for an equipment shakedown. Even with medium Seekins rings, the lowest the cheek rest could go was still too high for me so I scratch built a rest out of Boltaron and shaped it to my...

    Desert boot recommendations

    Only reason I say desert boot is because its a uniform item and i can't sway away from "desert tan". Think I will give the Rocky boots a shot if the PX has my size. Thanks for everyone's input!

    Desert boot recommendations

    Looks like the newest thread about this was mid last year, just seeing if anyone has played with anything new for desert boots since then and recommend them. Got orders to NC for some schooling and I finally wore out my issue boots. Biggest thing I'm looking for is quick break in (leave in 4...

    Affordable parts/accessories your 100% happy with?

    I build just about all my slings from parts and webbing I get from REI. I get everything in bulk and have enough for spares / extra projects for a fraction of what a company built sling costs. Holsters are another project I enjoy doing myself. Kydex is cheap coming from knifekits.com and you can...

    Drag bag or Pelican? Which do most prefer

    I have the old Eagle Industries drag bag / shooters mat. I also use a soft guitar case since I have a folding stock on my rifle to hide it from wandering eyes and I do want a pelican eventually but just for air travel.

    what are your thoughts on boots?

    I am a big fan of the Vasque Clarion GTX. I had a pair of their older model when Gore-Tex was starting to be used in boots and I've had them now for about 15 years give or take and just replaced them with a new pair and will probably have them for just as long. I do a lot of backcountry and I...
