    "The Polished Knob"?

    Hey all, Has anyone used his services? I have a couple Howa Mini Actions I'd like to have replacement knobs put on. His work looks good and his prices are reasonable. Yeah, I'm aware of LRI and SAC, but I was wondering if anyone here has used him? Polished Knob

    Aadland cap question...

    Ok, So I've been shopping for caps for my PST II 1-6. Found a guy on another forum that was selling some Aadland for for a Gen II Razor 1-6. I checked on Vortex's site and it appears that they have the same dimensions. Can anyone confirm that they'll fit? I contacted Aadland through...

    Rings vs Mount. Recs?

    Whilst I wait for my barrel to get chopped, I have a mount question. I'm building up an elf owl build, and I plan on using a PST Gen II 1-6. EGW High Rings? PSA Sabre (Warne) mount? Steiner P series mount? PA Glx? Something else? While I like my ADM mounts I really have NO need for QD, so...

    Compact folder for chassis SBR?

    So my plans are coming together, and I plan on SBR'ing my Howa Mini in .300BO/elf owl. Now, I'm looking at folder/mechanisms. I'm looking at the Samson S.A.S. , PMM Kate Moss , A3 7" offset , or the Jtac folder (which I don't think is available yet). Now, I like the price of the Samson...

    Rings recs and lapping?

    Hey all, So I'm in need of some rings. I have a Gen2 PST 1-6 on the way that I'm mounting on a Howa Mini action. Now, let me preface here that I'm cheap. Not NC Star cheap, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for rings. That being said, is lapping rings still a "thing", or has...

    Compact, folding chassis

    Hey all, So I'm building up a Howa mini in .300BO. I plan to SBR it. I also have a mini action in .223 that's in a Brownells/MDT chassis with ACS buttstock and I really dig it. However since this is going to be a shorty, I was thinking something "foldy" would be better suited. As to chassis...

    New Frontier GTG?

    Hey all, Instead of further polluting the billet thread, I just thought I start my own. Are the New Frontier Armory G4 lowers good to go? Also looking at JL Billet, but not sure if they’re worth the premium.

    AS for Xeno muzzle device?

    Hey all, So I finally got my Xeno brake in the mail. Now, with regular muzzle devices/flash hiders, I always put a little aeroshell on the threads. DA's instructions don't mention that, in fact they say if you want to use rocksett etc you can. So, should I completely bypass the aeroshell and...

    Xeno compatible brakes?

    Hey all, So I'm going with a Xeno setup for my first centerfire can. I already have DA Xeno FHs on my SBRs. I'm looking for some brakes to put on my bolt guns. I like the DA brake for the lack of a need for timing etc. That being said, it doesn't seem to be that functional as an actual...

    Reference website with most scope OEM info?

    Hey all, I also posted this in the precision rifle section on ARF. Anyway, mebbe y'all can help. There's a website (obviously I can't remember the name) that is a GREAT resource for OEM/manufacturers of scopes. I seem to remember it having "varmint" in the title. But the guy pretty much...

    Chea...err...affordable 1-6?

    Hey all, I'm looking at a LPVO for my Ruger American Ranch in 5.56. I have a Burris RT-6 on my RAR in 7.62x39 and it's great. Anyway, PA has their GLx 1-6 on sale for $399. The problem is, I find the reticles on the GLx to be "busy". That being said, I haven't heard any negatives about the new...

    Suppressors First (possibly only) centerfire suppressor?

    Ok, so I'm looking at getting a budget-friendly suppressor to do double duty on my .308 rifles and 5.56 rifles (semis and ARs..two of them SBR). I figure this will probably be my only centerfire rifle can. I'm looking at the Resonator, Lahar, and the KGM R30. Thoughts?

    Need bore guide for Howa 1500

    Alright, So I got my 1500, and now I need a rod guide. The Possum Hollow ones and Sinclair seem to be unobtainium. I emailed Possum Hollow, so hopefully, I'll get a reply soon. Any ideas where to find one?

    KRG Bravo/Howa. Mag tight.

    Alright, So I've looked around and I think this might solve the issue. I just put my howa together and the Pmag is REALLY right in there. Now, I poked around and found this... since the action is already snugged up in the chassis, just loosen it a bit and do the "pull back on the action and...

    Howa bolt knobs?

    Alrighty, So I have my 1500 on the way. I'd like to have a bolt knob installed. That being said, I'm not a fan of the clamp ons. Now I know it's apples to oranges, but I have an Anarchy ball installed on my Ruger Ranch and I love it. That being said, the Ruger also has an extended handle...

    Mount for Aero M5

    Ok So I’ll be getting my 18” barreled upper in the Mail soon. I received my Gen II PST 3-15 the other day. So, I need a mount. QD would be cool but not absolutely necessary. I’m pretty sure I don’t need any extra cant since I currently don’t have access to anything over 200 yards here in...

    Sub $500-ish 308AR scope recs?

    Alrighty, So I'm finally getting my Aero M5 put together. Going with 18" .308. Range toy/blaster with current access to 100 yards. If I end up joining Ft. Meade, I'll have access to 600. Anyway, I'm looking at sub $500-ish. So I'm thinking.... Swampfox 1-10? Sightron Stac 3-16? Athlon...

    Howa mini owners....ring question

    So I have everything I need to finish my .223 build except the scope rings. I have a Vortex Diamondback tactical 4-16x44 on the way. Rifle is a 20" HB and I'm using an EGW base. That being the case will Vortex or Burris XTR low rings work? Or, should I go with medium?

    Scope for 7.62x39 bolt gun?

    Alright, so I finally got my Ruger 7.62x39 bolt gun. Now I need some glass. I currently have access to nothing greater than 200 yards. Since this is just a fun toy, I need something in the sub-$400 bracket I'm looking at.... Blackhound 1-8 (don't know much about 'em, but they're supposedly a...
