    Stock inlet for tubb contour?

    Not sure the dimensions on a Tubb contour, but the M24 is much larger than the Rem varmint so would be a "safer" bet in my opinion. Go to a barrel makers site and check put the dimensions on the various contours.

    No CCI 22 ammo being made, for the near future at least

    It's real easy to change that stamp that marks the head of the case.

    AR bullet seating depths-

    What kind of barrel do you have? What chamber. Sounds like its set up to run the 90 grain bullets loaded long single shot. There are shorter chambers. I have my gas barrel guy use my 700 rem 223 reamer. Mag length 68/69 & 75/77 only jumps just a little. 80s are a little longer and must be...

    .233 build question.

    Don't forget there are 68, 69, 75 and 77 match bullets, plus various weight Bergers, all of which will work fine in a 1-8 barrel. The 68, 69 will work in the 1-9 also. 55's in a fast twist will work but usually won't be as accurate, the increased spin plus the fact they may not be as "round" and...

    M1A "M14" in 6.5x47 Lapua

    Back when M1A/M14 was king, you occasionally saw a 243 shot by a young lady or a 7-08 shot by a tinkerer. So a 260 should be doable.

    Cleaning rod clearance question for Manners MCS-T5A

    My 2A cheekpiece has a series of groves on the verticle rods with a C-clip. You put the c-clip on the grove to match your heigth. Loosen the lock screw and just remove the cheelpiece for cleaning. It returns to the same spot.

    Manners MCS-T4A Cheek piece moves laterally; too loose

    Take the cheekpiece completely out of the main stock. look on the bottom, you will see the screws that hold the metal to the stock material. These are the adjustment for the lateral position of the cheekpiece. Sounds like they are loose.

    Rifle Scopes New Shooter looking for help sighting in

    Re: New Shooter looking for help sighting in For some range time, just put a blank piece of paper above your target to catch the bullets. This will allow you to shoot little groups and work up a load if your a reloader. And you won't be messing up your aiming point. Simple physics with the 25...

    What about a remington 7400?

    Re: What about a remington 7400? p020346: it proboably applies since they are very similar. Just never see the pump model in our neck of the woods. Keep in mind the folks I am referring to are hunters, not gun guns that also hunt. They are in the woods for the 1st week/10 days of deer season...

    What about a remington 7400?

    Re: What about a remington 7400? My gunsmith loves for it to rain during the 1st week of deer gun season. Reason is all the hunters with 742/7400s get them wet and the dirty chambers rust and pit. Eventually the extractor startd failing. He strips the gun down and has a cleaning rod section...

    Gunsmithing Win70 receiver mod and stock question

    Re: Win70 receiver mod and stock question If the M70 is "modified" it would depend on what was done to it. The best methid is to modify the cheapest or easiest replaceable part. I would think it best to modify the stock, or simply buy a stock that fits to begin with.

    Gunsmithing Filling the butt end of a polymer stock?

    Re: Filling the butt end of a polymer stock? I removed the butplate pad from my Dick's sps and put in a loafbread bag and filled it with sand. Tamped it down a couple times. Filled just short of full. Had to use a little pressure to get the butpad seaded. Worked great. A little weight and a...

    How to make screen print bigger?

    Hope this is the correct place for this. Seems my print got smaller recently. Been looking for a place to select a larger size font etc. No luck. May have been a result of my recent upgrade to IE8 from IE 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Problem

    Re: Scope Problem If its a one piece base, then shimming the base will not put any stress on the scope. A set of two piece bases would theoretically place stress on the scope tube. Strange that you are only getting about 5.5 MOA change in elevation when going from a 20 MOA mount to a 0 MOA...

    Re: What is this stock called?? The top right corner of the pic says something about another one from Styer. I'd search on Styer maybe.

    Can't FL resize brass sufficiently

    Re: Can't FL resize brass sufficiently The only way to collapse a shoulder like that is with the seater die screwed in to far. Run a good case(one thats will rechamber) up, turn seater die down til it stops. Now back it off at least a half turn.

    .223 1/9 twist and 75gr AMAX, good combo?

    Re: .223 1/9 twist and 75gr AMAX, good combo? I would plan on using 68/69 grain bullets in a 1/9. I have a 26in Compass Lake douglas barrel in 1/10 that shoots 68/69 bullets into little knots. 68/69's should get you to 400 without any problem. And yes 75s would be better "if" they would...
