    Odd Winchester Post '64 Model 70... Possibly Custom Shop?

    I have a Winchester Model 70 I bought on an auction site several years ago. I was told by the seller that it was once an FBI Sniper Rifle from somewhere in the Northeast. It's a 30-06 with a Heavy Barrel and Parkerized looking finish with a recessed crown. It has a Redfield 3-9 "TV Lens"...

    Accessories JAE Remington SA Chassis for sale.

    I have a J. Allen Enterprises chassis made for Remington Short action for sale. It takes AICS Mags but I can't find the one I had. Sorry. It has only had a barreled action in it and sat in my Safe. I honestly don't know the features because I bought it from a friend who bought it new and decided...

    My "New to me" M24R first range trip...

    A couple weeks ago in the "Firearms For Sale" section there was a post by Badger Ord. that they had acquired 10 M24's from the Remington M24R (refurbished) program. I was one of the Very Lucky ones who was able to score one of these Babies. I got #7. Today I was able to bring it to my local...

    Teaser... First one actually built.

    Pretty sure this is the first one of these you'll see. I just finished putting it together this evening. Still needs optics. I really don't even know if we'll have a specific configuration for these beside the Upper/Lower set. I'm sure they're a limited run and may even all be sold. I got it as...

    My new gig... Updated.

    Well fellas, I'm probably opening myself up here a little bit but I just landed a new job that I am so excited about I can hardly stand it! I'll be working at Spikes Tactical starting on Monday. I actually still don't know exactly what I'll be doing but it really doesn't matter! I know part of...

    Rifle Scopes WTF is this...

    I took this off the top of a Scope that was mounted to a former Swat Team's rifle. I've looked everywhere I could think of (My Google-fu apparently sucks) and I can't find ANYTHING about it. Thanks in advance! John

    Looky what I found! Remington 1903A3...

    Hey Guys, Not exactly a "Sniper" version but I just had to share! I just came across this Absolute Beauty yesterday so I jumped all over it! It's an 03A3 made by Remington. It was on the rack at my favorite Fun Shop. Just came out. I bought it without really researching the originality because...

    WTF is up with Federal 45ACP Brass!!!

    So I'm just getting into reloading Pistol Calibers. Started with 45ACP. Got Large Pistol Primers. Picked up a bunch of brass the last time I was at the range. Jackpot! Right? WRONG!!! I discovered the hard way that Federal Brass uses SMALL Pistol Primers. I'm going to sound like an Idiot here...

    New AR variation?... Interesting.

    Saw this the other day on GB. Anyone seen this before? It's not mine and I have nothing to do with it but it peaks my interest. If it's against the rules to post please just remove it. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=275272543

    Suppressors Unexpected Benefit...

    Last year my wife and I decided to put all of our assets into a Revokeable Trust. Since I was diagnosed with Cancer in December of 2010 I wanted things to be easier for her in the event I'm not around for long. I'm such an idiot, I just found out I can buy NFA stuff through my Trust with no need...

    A different experience with an online purchase...

    I've heard a lot of horror stories about buying "Custom" rifles online from popular auction sites. I just want to share my story. This is gonna get wordy... A few months ago I saw a rifle online that looked interesting. It was supposedly made by a company called "Accra-Liance Sniper Systems". I...

    This is driving me NUTS!!!

    OK... I'm in unfamiliar territory here and being driven nuts! I'm in the middle of a reloading session and had to stop to ask this stupid question! How the hell do you deal with static electricity???!!! I'm in Florida and we don't get many dry cold days here. It's a blustery 50 degrees in my...

    MAN Cave... Let's see 'em!

    A couple years ago my Wife... Bless her heart... Told me I needed somewhere I could do all of my "smelly gun stuff" since the garage was way too crowded already. She decided I needed a "Man Cave". A place where I could go and do pretty much anything I wanted (That didn't involve other women or...

    NEVER use the U.S. Postal Service!!!

    They are the biggest bunch of Morons I have ever dealt with and here's why... I sent a payment of $1675.00 (2 Postal Money orders) to a fellow Hide member via Priority Mail with Tracking on November 22nd. It was scheduled to arrive on November 25th, coming from Florida to Texas. It didnt get...

    Obermeyr Chamber???

    I recently bought a custom built rifle based on a Remington 700 action with a Stainless Hart barrel. The spec sheet that came with the rifle states the chamber was cut with an Obermeyr Chamber reamer which it states means "the chamber is slightly smaller than a regular .308 chamber". I would...

    Gunsmithing Trigger and Stock issues... Just venting a bit.

    Well... Today I took my "new-to-me" Accra-Liance Remington .308 out for a test drive. Had a couple issues. The rifle was built in 1993 but I doubt it was shot much (if at all) before I got it. I noticed that once in a while it would send a flyer outside the one-hole groups at 100yds. When I...

    Addicted to Accuracy...

    Well... It's official. I am most definitely completely and irreversibly addicted to accuracy. I once had a relatively respectable collection of firearms. Now, if it's a bolt-gun and doesn't shoot 1/2MOA or better it's no longer in my collection! I now have only 2 bolt-action rifles where there...

    Gunsmithing Crown with little tiny burrs...

    I just got done coating the barrel on my newest bolt rifle with Aluma-Hyde. I learned a little trick for coating the muzzle without getting on the crown or in the bore. You take one of those squishy earplugs and put it in the bore. Then you can coat the muzzle. Simply remove the earplug and it...

    Anybody ever heard of this company? PICS ADDED...

    Hey Y'all, I just picked up a new-to-me rifle and it was built by someone I can't find any information on. The name of the company is: Accra-Liance Sniper Systems. Please excuse the use of the "S" word. Anyway, this rifle seems to really be built well. It's a Remington 700 receiver and a Hart...

    Interesting discovery...

    I've been reloading for my 40X .308 Repeater for about the last year.... Trying to work up the perfect load. I'm able to get 1/2MOA groups pretty consistently if I do my part. I use LC Match Brass, I neck size, trim, seat the projectiles out a little so they're closer to the lands and measure...
