    Gunsmithing 700 action torque specs, can't get straight answer

    Re: 700 action torque specs, can't get straight answer Just for reference- I called GAP after receiving my Crusader, and was told their spec is 35 inch pounds on the action screws. I also have a Remington 5R in a Mcree's chassis, and it seems to like a torque value of 50 inch pounds much...

    5.45x39 Sniper Rifle

    Re: 5.45x39 Sniper Rifle I have one of these as well. Original purchase price was $600 with two 50-round boxes of RWS "match grade" ammo. The first one I received had a broken striker and lacked the Steyr type external barrel forge marks. I returned it, and am very pleased with the second...

    Re: Tikka T3 Tactical .223. Load Data Please. Oh, load data with the above mentioned 75 grain A-Max: 24.0 AA2520. Any primer, any case. They all seem to shoot about the same.

    Tikka T3 Tactical .223. Load Data Please.

    Re: Tikka T3 Tactical .223. Load Data Please. The biggest problem you will encounter - as seems to be the case with all factory chambers - is a long throat. I've been running Hornady 75 grain A-Max bullets in my Tikka Varmint .223. Seating them out to the lead means an OAL of 2.458". This...

    Rifle Scopes Best scope for a M-4

    Re: Best scope for a M-4 Good Shootin' Tex! Your Colt sure shoots much better than the last one I owned. I ran one of the Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4 for a while. Wanted a Trijicon TR24G, but couldn't pony up for it at the time. The Leupold has been subsequently pulled to put on my wife's AR...

    Rifle Scopes Is it possible to get a deal on an NF scope?

    Re: Is it possible to get a deal on an NF scope? For Nightforce, I can't suggest highly enough that you call Jay at Sport Optics. I was looking for a Nightforce F1, and Jay took such good care of me that my wife ordered a second copy a week later. Call Jay, I think you'll be pleased!

    Borka Torque Wrench/Driver

    Re: Borka Torque Wrench/Driver I purchased one of the Borka wrenches, and find it both fascinating in design and extremely useful. The small size means it can always be within reach, and an Altoids tin with a few bits and one extension meets every torque problem I'm likely to encounter. One...

    Steyr Arms has 10rd SSG mags

    Re: Steyr Arms has 10rd SSG mags Interesting to have, but they are problematic. Mine is not nearly as reliable as the standard five round magazines. A friend's 10 round mag had the delightful habit of jettisoning itself at inopportune times. Cheers... Jim

    Troy .308 13.8 Battle rail Opinions?

    Re: Troy .308 13.8 Battle rail Opinions? I'm running the Viking Tactics (Troy) 13" "Extreme" rail. It's the version with fixed rail only on the top surface, and slots for attachment of rail sections elsewhere as desired. The installation system is beautifully engineered. The two threaded...

    Tikka T3 DBM.. now in hand..

    Re: Tikka T3 DBM.. now in hand.. Any further news on this? I have a T3 Varmint in .223 which shoots splendidly, but the mags are a headache. What exactly is the required mod to make the AI .223 mags function with the CDI unit? I'm ready to buy the CDI bottom metal, but need to know in...

    Mouthbreathing F*tard @ Burger King and Our Colors

    Re: Mouthbreathing F*tard @ Burger King and Our Colors Thank goodness, it's not always that way... About 20 years ago at a McDonalds in Dodge City, Kansas, there was a hell of a storm brewing up with really fierce winds. I spotted a late middle age black employee walking towards the flag...

    Motorcyclist Mag Writer Fired for Being Truthful

    Re: Motorcyclist Mag Writer Fired for Being Truthful Used to be the editor of one of the big gun magazines. Saw a lot of things there which troubled me, especially the influence of the ad department. After I left, I turned to writing freelance for a while instead of getting a real job. Was...

    Maggie’s Brace yourselves...

    Re: Brace yourselves... I say God Bless that poor soul for doing what he can with what he's got. How many of us didn't want to go to the high school dance or some such because we had a zit in the middle of our forehead? I may not care for the music or the "dancing," but he's got more grit...

    Mcree vs. CCS

    Re: Mcree vs. CCS Hello all- Haven't posted for a long while. I have a Mcree's and am very pleased with it. The gap between grip and trigger guard bothered me too. As I have a small mill at home, I knocked out an aluminum adaptor which pulls the grip snug against the TG. It did take a few...
