    Gunsmithing New build - Badger M2008 or AIAW?

    Re: New build - Badger M2008 or AIAW? I'm well aware that everything has issues and I wouldn't expect the Badger to go toe to toe with the AW in every aspect. If its as simple as the AW pin/spring it would be an easy replacement anyway. And I agree with deadly that I don't want this to...

    Gunsmithing New build - Badger M2008 or AIAW?

    I'm looking to have a .260 built and was wondering what your thoughts were with regard to receivers. Is there any advantage to the Badger or can a builder get the same results out of a current AIAW short action? Any information would be appreciated- John~

    Accuracy International bipod.....worth the coin?

    Re: Accuracy International bipod.....worth the coin? I have the AI that I bought with the gun and after reading everything on the Atlas I gave it a shot. I like the closed height of the Atlas Vs. the AI - for me it makes a difference. What sold me was the lack thereof of unintentional leg...

    Neck sizing vs Full Length sizing?

    Re: Neck sizing vs Full Length sizing? In my AIAW.300WM I would only neck size and use a collet die to shrink the belt area about every 4-5 firings. I recently switched the barrel out to a Bartlein done by GAP and the chamber is now such that unless I FL size I have 50% of my loads that I...
