    Need a trigger - Which Geissele/Timney

    I've switched everything to SSA-E at this point. That's my preference out of the ones I've tried. I liked the 3G version as well, and it does feel more like a single stage. Never tried the Hi-Speed National Match though. I'm also in the process of trying to decide between SSA-E and Hi Speed...

    Has anyone read the new Guns&Ammo?

    We're too good to read G & A. [/standard SH response] Which issue is it in? I still read a few "rags".

    HELP ME DECIDE LMT 260 or 6.5 barrel

    While I'm waiting on my LMT LM8 with .308 20" CL barrel to arrive, I've been trying to figure out which other barrel to get. .260 or 6.5.....but it seems like the bigger question is how/where do you get either one?

    LMT .308 MWS

    Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my LM8. It's coming with the CL 20" .308 barrel, with a 1:10 twist. 175gr SMK's and 178gr AMAX should be pretty nice. I'm wondering if the 208 AMAX can be seated deep enough to fit the mag yet still shoot well. Some immediate changes I'm planning on making...

    My first stuck case - need help

    I knew the case was history, but that's no big deal. I was hoping the F/L sizing die wasn't though. What are possible causes for this? I'm thinking it has to do with having Imperial Case wax on the neck. I've read that it could cause the neck to cave in. Now I know that is actual fact and...

    My first stuck case - need help

    I haven't even finished my first round of loading for my .223, .243, and .308, and I'm experiencing my first stuck case. Please see pic below of the .243 case with decapping rod stuck in the mouth. What do I do from here?

    LMT MWS or FN SCAR 17?

    Time for me to dig into the safe for something else to sell....I went ahead and scooped it up! Pretty happy about my purchase. I've been wanting to have a .308 AR, but also wanted something in the 6mm/6.5mm realm. Now, I have ALL of those bases covered! Sorry OP...didn't mean to jack your...

    LMT MWS or FN SCAR 17?

    Why is there such a premium for the "slick side" upper? Is the only difference the forearm? Instead of having rails it's just a smooth forearm? Is there something else different?

    LMT MWS or FN SCAR 17?

    What's a good price for a new one? I know where there is one in stock for $2449. It has the CL 20" .308 barrel.

    LMT MWS or FN SCAR 17?

    I've really been eyeballing the LMT myself. I'm looking at a LMT .308 LM8 MWS. I don't know that much about them yet. Aren't you supposed to be able to change out the barrels really easily? Can you change the cartridge relatively easy as well? Could I put a .260 barrel on .308 LMT LM8 MWS...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths - What brand caliper do you use?

    How can I tell if they have an external gear rack? That's not something I see listed in the descriptions of the advertisements. And what do you mean by "the rest is what feels best..."? Btw, I work in an office and have a hard time telling my head from my ass, so this stuff isn't obvious to...

    Need an AR-10 Variant, need it fast... What are the options for a GOOD/GREAT platform?

    I have a Les Baer AR platform rifle that I'm thinking about selling. It's the 264 LBC Supermatch, which is pretty much the same as the 6.5 Grendel. Shoots 6.5 Grendel ammo. I'd really like to get a GAP-10, so I'm considering selling this. Shoot me a pM if you think your buddy may be...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths - What brand caliper do you use?

    I did a search for this in this section and did not find a thread like this. I figured I would ask the guys that use these tools for a living....what brand of calipers do you use? I'm getting into reloading, and one thing I've noticed is how hard it seems to be for me to get a consistent...

    Gunsmithing Mounting Badger scope rail

    Oh. I'm familiar with the torque settings for the action screws, and there's no shortage of opinions about which setting is best!!! I just needed to know about the scope mounting rail. I appreciate the input though.

    Gunsmithing Mounting Badger scope rail

    I'm going to put an AICS 1.5 on it. Why? Will that have an effect on the rail?

    Gunsmithing Mounting Badger scope rail

    What should I torque it to? And is there anything else in particular I need to watch out for?

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths too busy, too "special", or what?

    I am in the process of having my first custom build done. I started this process back at the beginning of March. My situation was different than most probably, because I wasn't really planning on having a rifle built when I started all of this. I had gone to my gunsmith to have him install a...

    Gunsmithing Mounting Badger scope rail

    I currently have a scope rail on my Rem 700 .308 action, but it has the partial cut out in the middle for easier top loading of the cartridge. I recently got a Spuhr one piece mount, and it will not work with that set up as it has a lug in the middle of it right where the cut out is. I am...

    Verge of breakdown

    +1 on the Magpul PRS After figuring out which ammo my rifle liked, I switched to the PRS to get a more consistent cheek weld. That seemed to help quite a bit too.
