    16" Krieger Barrel for Springfield M1A SOCOM 16

    Hey guys, so I have been over at M14forum.com and spread the word there but I figured this was a good place to get some feedback. I have been in the process of building myself a short, handy semi-precision rig out of my Springfield Socom 16 and spoke with Krieger barrels. They seem willing to...

    Suppressors Question Regarding Residency and Surppressor Purchasing

    Hey guys I have a rather unique situation. So before I enlisted in the Marine Corps I grew up in New Hampshire. However before I enlisted I worked in Florida for a year and had to obtain a Florida drivers license and claim residency. I want to purchase a suppressor but it would be going back to...

    24" or 26" 300 win mag out to a mile?

    So I know the 26" will give me best velocity however I was wondering what you all thought if I went with a 24" barrel. I am sure it will get out there but in all of your experience, does 2" of barrel make a big difference when you are out that far? I am leaning towards the 24" for my next build...

    So a year and a half later I finally got the money and time together since joining the Corps to finish my rifle. It started out as a stock Remington 700 5r 308 10th Anniversary Edition. Badger rings and base topped with a Leupold Mark 4 ER/T M5 FFP 6.5-20x50mm -Rad Tac bottom metal -Badger...

    Gunsmithing 338 Lapua in Remington 700 Action?

    Just curious as to if it is a good idea or not to use a long action 700 action for a 338 lapua. I have read things about wall thickness, etc. but would a magnum action be different from say a 7mm mag or 300 win mag? I know they make the Remington 700 MLR in 338 lapua but I am not sure if they...

    Can a 70 MOA scope and 20 MOA base get me to 1000?

    I have a Remington 7005r being cut to either a 20" or 22" barrel that I will be putting a leupold mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50mm M5 on. It has 70 MOA of adjustment and in a perfect world which is usually not true I would have 35 up and 35 down. So lets say even with a few MOAs of wiggle room I zero and...

    Rifle Scopes My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5??

    So I have been reading all day the difference between Mil/Moa setups like a Leupold LR/T and the Mil/Mil setup like the ER/T M5 dials. Needless to say I can not decide if the M5 is worth the extra $280 bucks. I have grown up only knowing MOA on iron sights and scopes for hunting rifles and can...

    Rem 700 5R...Any reason not to cut my barrel down?

    I have a Remington 700 5r in 308 and am about to have a brake installed. I have been reading a lot about barrel lengths and still haven't come to a conclusion. I read a SWAT article saying there was no real difference in velocity loss with barrels from 26-20 inches yet other people...

    Gunsmithing Need a really good cerakote finisher..

    Well I just posted about a rifle, rings, base and bottom metal I had done months ago and needless to say I received the rifle back and very unsatisfied. Unfortunately I have been moving around a lot with the Marine Corps and wasn't able to look at the rifle until I got back home several months...

    Gunsmithing Question about cerakote colors

    I got my rifle back and I requested to have everything done in graphite black. The barrled action and bolt look good but the bottom metal and the rings and base don't quite match and look closer to a duller armor black. Is this normal seeing the barreled action is stainless, the bottom metal is...

    Springfield M1A Socom 16 or Barrett REC7(6.8 SPC)

    Just would like all your opinions on which one of these rifles you would choose and why. Here are a few things to consider. I currently have a M4 Carbine but would like something with some more knock down power. I have always wanted a M1A and the Socom 16 looks like a blast but I recently...

    Ordering H-S Precision Stock, PST 007 or PST 093?

    I am getting ready to order my stock but I am not sure which one of these 2 models I need. The PST 007 says it is for 24-30" barrels but then goes to say it is for the large 5r contour barrels like on the m24. The PST 093 says it is for shorter barrels however the standard Remington varmint...
