Been on these forums for many years...first time ragging in the Bear Pit- but I'm pissed, and I know there's a lot of current and former US military that might care about who to support with their business- or not. My son's a USAF pilot currently stationed in the midwest, just came home to...
Customer that I've done some "interesting" projects for in the past emailed me that he acquired a TKIV-85 stock, and the all-important barrel bedding block. That's it... I think I have a hex receiver, but beyond that I have no knowledge of availability of correct parts (if any). Barrel print...
.300 Win Mag = .513 base .300 RUM= .550 base .300 PRC= .532 base PRC is midway between the Win Mag and Ultra Mag. No tech information/prints available from Remington. Will the PRC feed through the rails (without modification) on the magnum action, or is the ultra-magnum receiver needed?
I've been approached to rebarrel an SVT-40. Looking at the schematic the barrel machining itself looks "reasonably" straightforward. As far as disassembly of the pinned parts, maybe not so much but I've found front-end gas housing, rear sight NOS parts if needed. Does a print exist for these...
Getting a components list together for a 7-300 PRC. The Gunwerks GLR has a lot that I like- in the same price range as others like Impact. I'm puzzled, as to why I never see their actions discussed here. There's always a market segment that just buys what everyone else does, I tend to go in...
Can anyone tell me the major and pitch diameter of the Tikka prefit barrels? I'm modifying a military receiver to work with Tikka prefits, and want to turn a barrel stub to the correct specs as used to fit Tikka receivers.
I've got an itch to build a new 7mm ELR stick. Have a .300 WSM, so a 7 WSM doesn't do anything for me. Want to stick with a regular magnum LA, so no .338 LM or .300 Norma. I'm not a typical wildcatter, I don't turn necks, etc. and like to keep reloading easy. Could the 7-.300 be as simple as...
Looking for first-hand feedback- wondering if the reality lives up the specs (which look impressive). Found a thread from a few months ago on this, a lot of yacking but no one surfaced that actually owns one. I wasn't even aware of this new model, I was considering picking up a couple of...
Been unable to score any H1000, or Vhit 565, 570 (proven with this rifle) for many months now and I'm outta time. Ramshot Magnum, Accurate Mag Pro- anyone tried these with 300 grain pills, and if so- worth trying?
I'm finishing a customer's .300 WM, 98K Mauser conversion. He had bought CDI bottom metal for it years ago, but the problem is there doesn't seem to be a manufacturer of AICS pattern mags where the COAL is limited to SAAMI length or slightly more. He gave me an AICS mag, but that's got a COAL of...
Customer brought in handful of Mausers, various "project" rifles... One of them is 98 Brazilian receiver that's to be fitted with CDI bottom metal and a "prefit" in .300 WM. To maximize mag OAL, I'd need to remove substantial material from the feed ramp- basically all of the lower, "steeper"...
So I tuned in this afternoon, and got near zero clarification on the stuff that affects me. I'm not going to take in PMF's, so I couldn't care less about that part of the legislation- even so, that's the least ambiguous to me- but seems to be the main focus of the discussion. However, there...
Just came across this, no idea how long they've had it on the market. https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating/P-202/arctic-black-oven-cure Obvious question is, has anyone tried this on the obvious application of rifle barrels? Gimmick, or measurable results?
So I was meandering through Zanders online and I see they have a lot of Remington 700 offerings...ADL's, SPS's, and DBM models in Magpul stocks. Seems awfully late for NOS shit to be showing up with wholesalers? Or did Rem get the assembly lines moving once again?
Have I been asleep at the wheel? I buy a lot of blanks from them, never even knew this was an option. Anyone have experience with one of their cut-rifled barrels?
Intermediate length milsurp action, maximum magazine OAL is approx. 3.08". Could the .06 be loaded to this shorter OAL with lighter 150 hunting bullets (RN perhaps)? Anyone aware of any factory ammo that doesn't exceed that OAL? Thanks in advance...
Anyone experimented with this? Customer wants it to look parkerized. Sniper Grey is pretty close I think, but they're adding new colors all the time, now over 20 shades of grey ( no comments from the peanut gallery :p). Any of these closer to a parked finish?
Customer sent me this (discontinued) suppressor mount from YHM (18 tooth) to install. It's odd in that it has a non-threaded section with an ID of .782 behind the threaded section (5/8"-24t). I called Yankee Hill, they asked for a model number but there isn't one engraved on it. They told me to...
Can't seem to locate a print online anywhere- I thought it was CIP but I don't see it there. Customer sent a Savage barrel in .300 Whisper to be rechambered to Blackout, need to figure out how easily this cleans up. If you've been down this road, comments welcome.
