    Tikka T3 .223 magazine issues

    I have 3 mags that came with a used rifle. Only one feeds reliably. Is this a common problem? Can the springs be replaced? Or do I just need new mags?

    Hornady A-Max gone??

    I guess I've been out of the loop for a while. I've got a wonderful load worked up for the 155 Amax. It shoots MOA or better in 4 of my .308s. Has anyone that was shooting the Amax tried the 155 ELD? Thanks, Paul

    Reloading Equipment WTT: 209 Shotshell primers Winchester WLRM and/or CCI #41 Small Rifle Primers

    I have 1000 Remington 209 shot shell primers, 1000 Winchester Large Rifle Magnum and 400 CCI #41 Small Rifle Primers that I would like to trade for some 20 gauge shotgun shells. #5, #6 or #7 1/2 heavy loads only. I'd also be interested in a set of 34mm rings or a 6-24 Arken Scope (plus cash...

    Primer transactions, FTF or shipping?

    So I’m pretty sure that primers can’t be shipped by an individual. I’ve got somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-8k that I’m gonna part with. I actually have some of all flavors (small rifle, large rifle, small pistol, large pistol) but mostly small rifle. Can an individual pay the Hazmat fees...

    Accessories WTB: .50 round ball for muzzle loader.

    I get it, this isn't a muzzle loader forum but I'm needing some .50 round ball for my son's muzzle loader for Christmas and can't seem to find any. I live in East Central Alabama and will drive a couple hours or so. Thanks, Paul

    Rifle Scopes Arken Optics vs Vortex Strike Eagle vs SWFA HD 10x, etc.

    Ok so I've got a couple of rifles to scope. One is a Tikka .223 Varmint and the other is a Howa heavy barreled .308. They are currently wearing the little Bushnell 3200 10x40 scopes. Realistically I'll be banging steel out to 600 yards. I have a buddy with 900 yards that I shoot with as...

    Firearms FS/FT: Tikka T3 action, .223 bolt.

    Includes bottom metal, Tikka mag and Tikka low 1" rings (not pictured). The bolt is .223. It's clean as a whistle. I was planning on building a rifle but just decided to buy something else instead. Price is $385 shipped and insured CONUS. Must go to your FFL with a copy of my DL. I can...

    Firearms WTB: Tikka Prefit .223/5.56 with barrel nut

    Interested in your Tikka pre-fit Caliber .223 or 5.56. Barrel lengths from 16" to 24". Twist rates 1/9 or faster. Stainless, blued, coated, painted, doesn't matter. Prefer a threaded barrel 1/2x28 or 5/8x24. If you have one you're getting ready to swap that still have some life, hit me up.

    Rifle Scopes Used optic for my used rifle.

    My budget will be $1200 tops. Rifle is a TRG 22. Use is recreational. Load development. I have a couple of buddies with ranges. One 600 yards on steel, the other 800 or so. I could also head over to the CMP and plink around. Might do a PSR match. Nothing serious. Mainly, I'm just an old...

    Rifle Scopes Area 419 Rem 700 picatinny rail dimensions?

    I’ve found the length, 6.25”. Does anyone have a height measurement at the rear? Thanks, Paul
  12. libertyman777

    Two piece Picatinny rails vs 1 piece for my M40a1 inspiration and recoil lugs.

    Ok, so I’ve decided to go with modern glass and mounting systems. I have two candidates for one piece rails. One is the IOR. It’s 0 MOA, lays flat, has the receiver cut out. If I need more elevation, I’ll have to use Burris rings with the inserts. IOR Next is the Area 419. It’s a...

    Gunsmithing Low profile picatinny rail.

    I have a rifle with an M40a1 stock. I’d like to keep the glass mounted as low as possible. Here is the rail I’m considering > IOR 0 moa This is mainly for aesthetics as I’ll still have to use a stock pad I think. My question is, am I making much ado about nothing? How much physically...

    Scope for a M40a1 look alike.

    What would you guys choose? A one inch tube would be great but there's not a lot to choose from. If I went with a 30mm tube (which is highly likely), I would like to keep the objective size down to 44mm or less. I'm not looking for a replica or copy, I just want to keep the similar lines if...

    Hunting & Fishing Gonna buy a hunting rifle for my daughter.

    So, she had a Savage Hog Hunter but complained that it was too heavy. I think it was just nose heavy. She isn't particular, it just needs to be threaded and in .223 Remingon. Funds are an issue right now, I'd like to keep the price at $400 or less. So, I've narrowed things down to the...

    Gunsmithing Trigger Upgrade for Rem 700

    I’m looking for a solid two stage trigger. The Geissele looks nice and I don’t mind spending the money (though I’ll have to save a bit for that one). What do have, why did you choose it and are you happy with it. Also , can it be installed safely and easily by the owner. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Replacing a Remington Bolt Handle. Going from tactical back to original.

    How hard is this to do? I've got a deal on a barreled action but I want to drop it into an m40 stock so the aftermarket knob has to go. Thanks, Paul

    Switch barrel: long action, short action, will this work?

    Ok I've got a question. If I understand the Remington/Tikka conversations, they are altered to rebarrel like a Savage with a barrel nut correct? And that means, like a Savage, I can control the headspace, right? It seems to me that Tikka would be a strong candidate for a host since they only...

    Can’t afford a copy or a clone but ....

    I would like to build something similar to a M40 or M40 a1. I’m thinking that the best stock to use is the B&C M40 stock and go with a M40 a1 type. Perhaps a USO ST10 or a Leupold MK4 10x. Rings and base, the Leupold dovetail. For a M40 I’m not sure about a stock source. Badger makes...

    Hunting & Fishing Would like some opinions on a hunting rifle.

    Ok, so I'm looking for a walk-about, hunting, truck gun. Bolt action. I live in Alabama. We have deer, pigs, coyote, bobcat, etc. There have been 350 plus pound hogs killed on our family land. Caliber .308 (I have a tremendous amount of reloading supplies for .308 and it will work nicely on...
