    My "All American Rifle"

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm a sucker for wood and metal. I'm a big fan of the original M40 "look". I'm also a fan of 30-06 as I think it's an underrated chambering with a lot of potential. Sure, it's not the most effecient but with handloads you can really make it scream...

    Gunsmithing Removing bluing/protecting metal?

    I built my wife a .243 on a Stevens action which is blued (or painted, I'm not sure). My wife wants the action to be bare metal to match the SS barrel. My question is, what is the best way to remove the bluing (or paint) and protect the metal? Just polish it and keep a light coat of oil on it?

    .416 barrel, SS?

    Hey guys, for a rifle in .416 Barrett to be used for long range target shooting, would you go with a SS or chrome barrel? This will be my first rifle of a larger caliber, so I think I should ask. I see that Barrett rifles aren't stainless, is that just for durability? Will SS be more accurate...
