    Thank You CDI !

    Just wanted to relay what great service the folks at CDI practice. I went with CDI's July Bottom Metal special. The young lady on the phone was a sweetheart. The fit and function of the bottom metal installed on my Tikka T3 Varmint in a Bell and Carson Medalist is perfect. I almost feel sorry...

The scope is ranged out to 850 meters and is pretty much spot on at 600 with the 168 Matchking. The barrel is 24" long and I am planning to shorten it to 16.5 or 18"long. Will...

    CMMG Mk3 308 question

    Guys I have had a CMMG Mk3 308 offered to me for $1500. It has the SS 1n10 18" bbl, 2 stage trigger, freefloat tube and the Magpul adjustable stock. I don't have any experience with CMMG at all. Seems to be a quality AR10. Was wondering if any of you guys had any input as the rifle in general?

    Gunsmithing Tikka T3 Varmint bedding question!

    I have a Tikka T3 Varmint in 223. The recoil lug is removeable(it sits in a recess in the action but is not secured by any means). How would one go about glass bedding the barrelled action in the stock. I considered staking it in place but thought I had better ask the "go to guys". Any input...

    Crystal Lens Eye Procedure ?

    Guys I am considering the Crystal Lens Procedure. I am told 20/20 at all distances to be expected. The web says the success rates are not as advertised. Have any of you had any experience with the surgery? I'm kinda on the fence about it.

    GSG 1911 .22lr

    Guys I just picked one up and was pleasantly surprised. It's a full size dedicated 22lr. Looks and feels like a 45. It came with 3 front sights(it hits at point of aim@25yds) so don't need the extras. Rear sight is drift adjustable. They say it has 80% parts interchange ability. But it already...

    Gunsmithing Update on rough bore-AR

    Back in Aug. I posted a problem with a SS 1/8 AR Bbl. It would not group under 4"@ 200yds and would really tear up a patch when cleaning. I happened to run into a shooter who owns a borescope. It turned out that the chamber went right into rifling--No throat or freebore at all. I went ahead and...
