    School me on triggers for the M40

    Please school me on triggers and why I should prefer one over the other for this rifle. What would you use for your Vintage Sniper rifle?

    Building my first M40 for the Vintage Sniper matches.

    This is a virgin Remington 700 RR prefix stripped receiver. It has no wear marks at all and has never had a bolt installed. I pulled the barrel off this receiver for the previous owner 2 years ago. The barrel is new and un-fired. I just hand screwed it on for the picture. This will be for...

    A day out with the Kreiger barrelled M14's!

    I'm still working on finishing my LRB M25 scout rifle with a 18.5" medium weight Kreiger SS barrel, but I wanted to test the action and get a baseline for this rifle. I threw it in a GI wood stock and took it out to the range. It gave a fantastic initial performance! I only shot 10 rounds to...

    A friendly accuracy challenge. Beat the match conditioned M14's/M1A's! (Piston-driven rifles)

    The M14 is an old dog but it has the benefit of having decades of accuracy enhancements implemented by military match armorers and sniper/DMR programs that were dedicated to turning a 5 MOA battle rifle into a sniper, DMR and competition rifle. The average match M14 built with premium components...

    M14 with Lothar-Walther heavy profile 6.5 Creedmoor barrel testing (ongoing)

    This is the first heavy M14 barrel in 6.5 that Lothar Walther has made. They sent it to me for testing with a reduced size gas port instead of the standard gas port in 308. It's performed flawlessly with bullet weights from 120 grain to 156 grain ammo. This thread will document the accuracy and...

    Recommendations for someone to do DLC

    Hello. Customers frequently ask me to do nitriding, but I have industry professionals cautioning me against it. I am trying to offer my customers DLC for their stainless barrels. Can any of you recommend a good source for DLC services? Thanks, Tony.

    Got a nice package from Bartlein Barrels today...

    22" heavy M14 barrel, 5R 1:11" twist. Frank did a limited run and I picked one up. It's unclear if they will ever do another run. They only made some because the guys that work there needed barrels for their M1A's. Hand times around 35˚ on a new LRB receiver. Unfortunately, this will...

    New US Made M14 Lothar Walther barrels with new ICR rifling. 24"to 26" velocities out of a 22" barrel.

    LW sent me a test barrel. It's the first US made LW M14 barrel to come out of their US facility. The CEO of LW gave me authorization to mention their new rifling that, as far as I know, is the first time the public will have heard of ICR rifling, boasting faster velocities compared to other...

    What is the biggest magazine that will fit in the JAE-700 chassis?

    So with the tragic news of JAE closing shop, I charged up my credit card and bought the last JAE-700 long action at Third Generation Shooter's Supply. I originally was going to build a 6.5 Creedmoor, but the short action stocks were in the $2,300 rage while I got the long action stock for $1,700...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 bedding "How To"?

    Is there a thread that tells step-by-step how to pillar bed a Remington 700 (from the 1960's) into a stock? I remember seeing one on here years ago, but I can't find it. I had it bookmarked, but it's gone. I bedded my Savage years ago and it came out really nice, but I've never done a 700. I...
