    Coating after AW Cut

    I've got an Impact 737 I am thinking of sending in to get cut for AW mags. Corrosion resistance is pretty important where I am at. What are people doing for coating after having action work done? It is already nitrided- I don't know that I can nitride it again. Hard chrome? PVD? Cerakote? At...

    Gunsmithing Source for Remington Socket Cap Screws (1/4-28)

    I just received my Grayboe renegade and DBM today. The DBM did not include new action screws of the appropriate size and length as I am typically accustomed to. I have tried a few local hardware stores with no luck. I also have looked online, and not found small quantities of appropriately...

    Rifle Scopes Entry Level PRS Scope for 1k - 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen 2 or Burris XTR II? Illumination?

    I want to upgrade glass from my Bushnell Elite 10x scope and I have been leaning towards picking up a Burris XTR II in 5-25 or 4-20. My LR experience is limited as I am primarily a USPSA and carbine shooter. I haven't really used the illumination on my 1-4x carbine scopes. I haven't shot a PRS...

    AI mags and 6BR with CRF action

    How much does the controlled feed bolt help when chambering a round that is too short for the mag? I want to get my FN SPR barreled soon and I am debating which caliber to select. I could go .308, 6.5x47, or a variety of other longer, short action cartridges but I am drawn to the 6BR. I ran a...

    .223 FL sized neck diameter

    How much dimensional variation exists in dies of the same manufacturer or same caliber/different manufacturer? I am looking for what the OD of .223 brass is coming out of different manufacturers Fl dies with the expanded removed. I will start RCBS .236 Forster .240 The Forster feels much...

    Gunsmithing Milling aluminum chassis

    Lately I have been somewhat intrigued by an idea... Has anyone on here successfully made their own aluminum chassis for their rifle? I have seen the XLR, PDC, McRee's, Whiskey 3 as well as the AICS and Roedale systems that have a skin. I have been working with kydex lately for holsters and mag...

    Rifle Scopes YHM riser problem

    Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my YHM picatinny scope riser that somebody might have run across before. I added their 1/2 x 5 1/4 extension riser to get adequate eye relief and height on my AR. Both of those goals have been achieved. The problem is the rail slides on over the rail on...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    I have seen the Redding competition sleeve neck sizing dies, and it got me thinking about how a normal neck only sizing die works. I am considering adding an intermediate step to take my .223 brass from .254 down to .242 and I think running a neck die first before a FL die will give me what I...

    Ways to take advantage of extra station on RL550B

    I just recently got my shellplate set up to load .223 on my RL550B. My current setup is for surplus powders/projectiles so no high expectations there. I want to set up a second toolhead for better quality (ie more concentric, more evenly charged, less violently resized) loads. I think separate...

    Jump friendly .224 projectiles

    Yesterday I was doing some load testing at the range and experimented with some Nosler 77 grain CC bullets just off the lands in my AR. They performed wonderfully, but single loading was a bit of a pain. I know they aren't a VLD bullet but they definitely liked starting close to the lands much...

    Suppressors Revolver 1500?

    This question is decidedly untactical but out of curiosity is anyone here familiar with the equipment for the revolver 1500 class of the NRA police matces? I've tried to find information and been unsuccessful. A buddy asked me about it after seeing the picture of Enoch Smith in the feb 2011...

    Sturdy Field Netbook

    I figured this wasn't quite tactical enough to go to the equipment section. I am looking at picking up a new netbook for school and field use, and I was wondering if anyone has found a sturdy netbook in the 300-400 dollar range. I have a desktop replacement for working or video editing so I...

    Harris bipod pads

    My first attempt at a krylon camo job ended badly so I stripped everything with brake cleaner... and the rubber pads that go between the bipod and the stock came right off with the paint. I think the brake cleaner ate the adhesive. Anyone have this happen? More importantly what should I use to...

    Wilson dies for semi auto

    I have been reading Zediker's book Handloading for Competition (learning alot) and I have been interested in using wilson seating dies. I was thinking about trying one out in .223 to improve my runout (its horrible, standard RCBS seater) but I load .223 for my AR15. I would like to be able to...

    Rigid FF tube

    Im putting together an AR upper in the next few weeks and Im trying to decide on a rifle length free float tube. I have been considering the WOA varmint tube (increased ventilation and bipod stud in the right place), the EGW tube (I like the 1911 parts Ive purchased from them- seem to make good...

    Tikka T3 Varmint

    Ive decided I need a .308 and so I'm looking seriously at the T3 varmint in 308. I have 2 concerns about the system that I haven't been able to resolve through searching(perhaps my keywords are weak). 1st, I have heard some comments about weak recoil lugs bending/deflecting... seems somewhat...

    Barrel life with .532 bolt face

    I have a Remington 700 in 7mm Rem mag and I am hoping to rebarrel it within the next few months. I am considering different chamberings as I like the ballistics of the 7 Rem mag but I would like more barrel life than the big 7 gives if possible. What I have read about the 7 WSM and 7 RSAUM seems...

    Hornady Lock-N-Load bushing conversion

    I have searched for the topic and other than a few recommendations I havent been able to find an answer to this question: Does the Hornady LnL conversion for a single stage press negatively impact the consistency of reloaded ammo? I have been using the Hornady LnL bushing conversion on my Rock...
