    Remington 700 Bolt Wear on New Bolt?

    Re: Remington 700 Bolt Wear on New Bolt? The dent I saw was on the edge of the lug, looked like it took a hard lick. If it didn't push up any metal then not a problem. Even a little push up could be dressed off with a fine stone.

    Switching uppers and bcg Should I switch bolt to?

    Re: Switching uppers and bcg Should I switch bolt to? Keep bolts and barrels together. They wear in to match. After 3K rounds it is half of a matched set.

    Re: Remington 700 receiver question The cut doesn't look like the right shape for factory and all factory sloted receivers I've seen also have a half moon cut in the front for clearance for the bullet tips.

    Noveske barrel question

    Re: Noveske barrel question Just received my latest Compass Lake barrel from Frank a couple weeks ago. Their website is a little cryptic about barrel contours. But basically for a $50 extra charge, he will turn one almost any way you want it. Regular contours are no extra charge. He stocks...

    DiamondBack DB15 cracked lower

    Re: DiamondBack DB15 cracked lower I'm confused by your original post. Are they just saying "sorry Charlie tuff shit, we ain't gonna go anything" or it that the particular model is out of production and no extras lowers are available to swap out for the damaged one? But they will replace...

    Tool for varmit hunting in semi-urban aera.

    Re: Tool for varmit hunting in semi-urban aera. Just went through the racoon problem at my home. They only come out after dark. You will do much better with a shotgun. But sounds like that is out. Also the noise at nihjt upsets the neoghbors. So I caught 7 racoons with one of those Havahart...

    Gunsmithing Glass bed like an alum chassis?

    Ok, lots of chassis's out there these days. Big selling point is can swap actions in and out and with out rebedding, and no rebedding then changing out a barrel. I'm old school, and just plain old, 61 if it matters. Used to be that wisdom said needed to glass a 2 in pad under the barrel just in...

    Stock with cast and cant adjustments ?

    Re: Stock with cast and cant adjustments ? The AMU may have a few target rifles with adjustments but never anything like that was general issue. Their Anschultz 22s have something similar. Too many things to go wrong for a combat weapon

    Need Help: Moving all of my gear, ammo, rifles

    Re: Need Help: Moving all of my gear, ammo, rifles Put the ammo and powder and primers in the trunks of the cars that are being shipped. Split it up so the weight is distributed evenly.

    Re: M14 & Sierra 155 Palma bullets~ Way back when I was shooting the M1A in HiPower, I used 150 Matcg Kings at 200yds. Helped reduce recoil for off hand and sitting rapid. When to 168s for 300 and 600. This was way before 155 and 175s were around.

    Re: Now's the time to buy an ADL Varmint from Dick's Looks like your right, that will be another $40 bucks in my pocket. When in the store, the clerk would not commit to anything. Once I got a copy of the Dicks gift card, it said in the small print ammo or accessories etc as you just...
