    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Excellent. I made a stock with my trainer in the same manner except I would determined to use nothing but hand tools. I did use a press for the initial holes but nothing but a planner and chisels after that. Definetly a labor of love because my pay would have...

    Ultimate Gun Cleaning and Lube Kit...need help!

    Re: Ultimate Gun Cleaning and Lube Kit...need help! I do like to stick with one brand, figure there is less of a chance of something reacting in a bad way and causeing unwanted results like pitting or something along those lines. For bores I use Boretech eliminator most of the time but if it...

    10/22 into a AUG

    Re: 10/22 into a AUG sorry Im pretty ripped right now, do you have chinese copies of the tangodown bipod for $35 each or were you talking about the chinese optics? I really want the real thing but before I pay $200 for a bipod a knock off on a .22 would be a good trial run.

    Maggie’s Brass shower

    Re: Brass shower I always thought the HK was designed that way to cover your right flank. I was shocked the first time I saw how far a 91 was chucking brass.

    Gunsmithing Duracoat Question

    Re: Duracoat Question Rubbing alcohol should lift off the testers without affecting the duracoat. Even if the shine is a little different you might be able to cover it all by coating with a clear on top. One of the tricks I was taught was to do very small sections at a time, literally one...

    10/22 into a AUG

    Re: 10/22 into a AUG Your projects are certainly different, who makes the copy of the Tangodown bipod? Are any of the other airsoft grade accessories suitable for a .22? I have seen the cheap optics and they leave a lot to be desired and would never get used on a gun I would want to count on...

    My TR is back from Savage!

    Re: My TR is on it's way back to savage I would say that was worth the wait. Good to see that they stepped up and did not pull some crap about it meeting a standard and shipping it back to you.

    Are heavy barrels more accurate???

    Re: Are heavy barrels more accurate??? Hows this on food for thought.... Could a heavy barrel be more accurate because the bore is more concentric due to greater mass which would lead to greater consistency inside the bore? Was thinking outside the box and wondering about displacement of...

    Gunsmithing CRYO BARRELS the deep freezzz

    Re: CRYO BARRELS the deep freezzz Talking to a lot of non-gunsmithing machinist they like all of the parts cryo treated if possible. They claim significantly better tool life, cleaner cutting and more precision. I dont know squat about machinging so I have to take their word for it. If it...

    Are heavy barrels more accurate???

    Re: Are heavy barrels more accurate??? Hahaha, that great Greg, I had probably the same 8 paragraphs running through my head. It seems like we are indoctrinated as shooters to think a heavy barrel equals accuracy but it was my Tikkas that blew all of that out of the water. I have a T3 lite...

    I have a 12yr old...

    Re: I have a 12yr old... Marlin makes a youth model of the xt-22 with a reduced length of pull if that would be a better fit for his size. Also it looks like the Marlin stock offers more flexability for using irons or scope. I still cannot figure out why Savage chooses so much drop on a...

    Tikka Sporter reports?

    Re: Tikka Sporter reports? Im up to three tikkas, a pair of T3 light in .223 and .270 and a heavy .223. They all have been amazing out of the box. I did swap out the OEM stock on the .270 and stuck it in one of the BC stocks with the aluminum block just to try something different. Here is...
