    Gunsmithing GPS Defense Sniper Rifle Modifications?

    Re: GPS Defense Sniper Rifle Modifications? So they are not torx like on the Badger units, but are regular hex bolts only with an extended head? Are these easily available? What is the point of the upgrade over the regular hex screws? As for the mag box- If I understand you correctly- They...

    Gunsmithing GPS Defense Sniper Rifle Modifications?

    Not planning on buying one, but I came across the GPS Rifle today and was curious about two things listed: - Replace action screws with larger, hardened steel, extruded screws - Increase magazine capacity from 4 to 5 cartridges, clear box magazine from feed ramp The screws look to be torx. I...

    Bad primers or something else?

    Re: Bad primers or something else? I visited the bench. Back when the rifle arrived I put eighty rounds of Hornady Match 168 gr A-MAX through it. I measured before and after. They all had headspace variances between 1.618”-1.620” with an average of 1.619”. After firing they measured...

    Cobra Chassis from Eberlestock

    Re: Cobra Chassis from Eberlestock The advantage (I'm guessing) is the Eber will be lighter than the RS. Lighter than any of the other aluminum stocks currently on the market. It also more streamlined. The RS could have a potentially bigger market if they'd shave some 'square' off and drill...

    Bad primers or something else?

    Re: Bad primers or something else? Sorry for such a late reply, as I appreciate the help. I full length resize with a Forester. My chamber is minimum spec Obermeyer. I allowed the brass to grow in the beginning but there was very little. I believe the die and chamber are pretty close. Plus...

    700 action screw length

    Re: 700 action screw length You can also contact Chad (Longrifles Inc) here on the board. He makes his own and I like them a lot more than the typical OEM. They are stainless with a really deep hex on them.

    Dress shoes designed for running - What brand?

    Re: Dress shoes designed for running - What brand? If you don't mind 'barefoot', look at the Merrel Barefoot Life series of shoes/gloves (http://www.merrell.com/US/en/Barefoot_Mens). I run in Merrel barefoots and have switched to a pair of the black life gloves for work. Business casual...

    Bad primers or something else?

    Re: Bad primers or something else? @tomme boy: I fired them all more than once. First time. Wait one minute and a bit. Open close bolt. Fire. Wait... None of them went off. @Innovative: Maybe, but seems doubtful. These are all range reloads. Fired them last weekend. Reloaded them and fired...

    Bad primers or something else?

    I was out today shooting in the freezing rain. Out of fifty rounds, forty-five were fine, but five did not fire. Other than these five today, the rifle has about five hundred rounds of the same reloads through it without issue. Makes these five seem suspicious. Rifle is a Remington 700 with a...

    Re: LongRifles, Inc. From the Beginning, To the End. Impressive. Definitely not the average gun video by amy means. You need to make a full length precision rifle film and kill Magpul's sales!

    my first bolt gun

    Re: my first bolt gun There should be no galling issues with a stainless 700 bolt. The bolt head/lugs are CM. I prefer stainless. Less to worry about. Still has the potential to rust, but nowhere near as quickly as a CM rifle. I don't know anything about chrome lined barrels. They are not...

    Lightening my rifle

    Re: Lightening my rifle It isn't so much range- More velocity/bullet drop, sound, and muzzle blast that become the concern. Perceived sound and muzzle blast are somewhat subjective. Decreased muzzle velocity is a fact and whether it is an issue depends on your own skills and expectations...

    Lightening my rifle

    Re: Lightening my rifle - Switch to the HS Precision LTR Stock. It will be lighter, but also smaller, than the one you are using. - All HSP's have aluminum blocks. Switch to a carbon fiber stock (McMillan or Manners). Either will be lighter than any of the HSP's. Depending on the model you...

    Bottom Metal Question

    Re: Bottom Metal Question A Timney 510 is my recommendation. Blued= Black Nickel Plated= Steel colored trigger and safety. I asked Timney about this and it is completely aesthetic. Offers no extra benefits or corrosion resistance. So I always choose the blued model because it looks better...
