    I just got the AX in hand and the Bighorn will not set down in it due to hitting the steel magazine clips. Anybody know if there is a remedy for this? Thanks for looking.

    Gunsmithing AICS heavy barrel bedding?

    I have read different threads on the pros and cons of bedding aics stocks. I have had several aics chassis but never felt the need for bedding until now. My concern is that the barrel I have is quite heavy and am wondering if it needs a pad under it. Here are the build specs: Action: Bighorn...

    Extra length gas system.

    White oak armament offers a 17.17 inch gas tube (standard is 15-1/8 inch) that I was thinking of using for a 6.5 creedmoor build with a 26 or 28 inch barrel. Has anyone had experience with the longer tube or should I just use the standard with adjustable gas block? Thanks.

    I posted this in the gunsmithing section several days ago but have had no hits yet. I am just about done with my 6.5cm barrel except for final reaming of the gas port. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good size to start with? If not then I will start small and keep yall posted. Thanks.

    Surgeon wsm and AW mag?

    Can the surgeon 591 wsm action be machined to feed from an AW mag? If it can has anyone done it and what is your experience with feeding? Sorry if this is covered but I can't find it. Just think it would be nice to be able to top feed the mag and take advantage of the extra OAL of the AW mag.

    Krieger or Noveske.

    This is my first AR-10 build and I have no personal experience with these barrels. I have heard great things about the accuracy of the Krieger and great things about the reliability of the Noveske. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
