    Gunsmithing Boring out a suppressor

    @krw The atf rules a baffle or any another suppressor part as a restricted part with the same status as a illegal functioning suppressor if found in your possession, you cant have extra parts laying around-PERIOD. You can legally buy (and alter)a endcap cause they are not suppressor parts...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Athlon Midas BTR for a CZ 455 trainer

    If you are looking at midas btr you probably dont want to spend the money on an etr (while they are really nice) I would encourage you to get a Ares btr or midas tac if you can swing it

    Tikka T1X

    @mperry07 aics compatible mags are not necessary, I have documented the modifications necessary to a MPA tikka chassis in this thread, anybody with a mill can make it work and the stock will still be usable with a centerfire w/aics mags

    @flatland1 -we have shot at both ranges above together, I never really got over to hutch any and we may have shot at VanMeter also, the last match I am sure we shot together is the KS state service rifle championship the year you were high civilian service at Perry.... @whatsupdoc Glue-ins...

    CZ 455 vs Tikka T1x

    They are both good options. I have a few friends with multiple custom Cz's, got another buddy who sold a anschutz smallbore match rifle with the intention of getting a CZ VPT until he handled my then stock Tikka T1x, he immediately left my house and went to the bank then scheels to get the...

    @flatland1 Dennis- Thanks for the kind words, they got me to thinking about my relationship with my son, my relationship with my father and my shooting career. I grew up around guns-literally at age 5 my dad's gun room/reloading room became my bedroom so there was a stack of ammo...

    Tikka T1X

    @TimResin I found the standard stock hard to get a good cheek weld with as is, if going the vertical grip/wide forend / buttpad upgrade, you should strongly consider either a kydex saddle cheeck peice or a triad stock pack. If you are going to put $100 ish in all of that with the intentions...

    After 14 hours of puking and Diarrhea, I told my son last night we probably were not going to make the match which also meant his friend wasn't spending the night to leave early the next morning. He took it very stoically and said there will be a match next month. Felt kinda guilty and...

    New 6.5 build suggestions

    @rgarza07 While @MDT_Josh has a point about capacity of long action mags vs the time on a stage here are a few solutions to mitigate it if you swim upstream of conventional logic and go long action AI 300 win mag 10rds hold 11+ 6.5x55 rounds after tweaking lips, standard la p mags + Tyler's...

Yesterday was s little hectic trying to get some work I had to get done, done and getting several rifles ready for the match tomorrow, I am usually the guy loading ammo the night before , after rebarreling the gun the week of....I pressed this barrel off...

    Scope mount made, even making the sloped mount stupid tall I ended up having to mill out the forend for the objective. We shot it at 25, 50, 75, and 100 (this month's nrl22 ranges) to confirm nothing was an issue. Conditions were lousy (cold ,wet, and 20+ mph switchy wind gusts but I am...

    @308pirate My wife has more patience than taste or good sense....she once graphed our power consumption and pointed out that I used more power in the shop in February than the household did in the summer with AC- when I am too busy with work , family, and shooting matches to play in the shop...

    @Stickshift -there is definitely some design features that are similar to some existing chassis as there is only so many ways to skin the cat without more specialized manufacturing processes but it is far from a clone of say an AX or or Accurate Mag chassis. As far as I know there isn't a...

    Son's nrl 22 build

    My son expressed some intrest in shooting some positional 22 matches with me so I decided to take the norinco jw-15 I had bought as a beater kid gun into something better. For those that don't know jw-15's are a copy of a Brno #2 and use the same mags as a cz 452 and 455 but have a different...

    Looking for LOUD steel rimfire targets

    Thinner targets "ring" louder, given the probable KE and terminal velocity of projectiles, I would go thinner than 1/4 "

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    @Bayoubigcat the vudoo mag (as designed)is a no go for the reason you suspect. When I mentioned contemplating making a delrin aics shapped shell for a Tikka T1 mag, Mike Bush was quick to announce he has a patent covering rimfire aics form factor mags....if the geometries of everything could...
