    CLOSED

    Found what I needed, thanks guys. Looking for something with adjustable LOP and cheek height, can take an Atlas pic rail bipod, but no tube. Something like an XLR Envy/Element or Whiskey-3. Used but serviceable is fine, doesn’t have to be a safe queen.

    Custom Holster for Ruger MKIV Frankengun?

    I've got a Ruger MKIV that started out as a 22/45 Tactical but has since been swapped to a Volquartsen LLV-4 upper. VQ says their Scorpion holster doesn't work well with the Ruger grip, and besides, I have a laser on this thing (because why not?). Sooo... can you guys recommend a good source to...

    Holster for Volquartsen LLV-4?

    Has anyone found a holster that works on the Volquartsen LLV-4? NOT the previous versions, as this new one, for the Ruger Mk IV, has the bottom rail built in, unlike the Mk III version where you could take it off.

    Suppressors Griffin Checkmate QD threads not fitting barrel

    Has anyone used a Griffin Armament Checkmate QD adapter? My CZ455 barrel is threaded 1/2x28, and I just got in two of the Checkmate QD adapters direct from Griffin. Neither of them will thread on: I can’t get a full turn before the adapters jam up. Tried elbow grease the first time, ended up...

    Ruger Mark IV frame only for custom builds?

    I'd like to have a Ruger Mark IV with a Volquartsen slide. Is there anywhere that sells the Mark IV frame vs. the entire pistol?

    Rifle Basix vs. Timney for CZ 455/Tacticool

    I'm looking for some first hand experience in making my decision. Both are about the same price and seem to offer the same features, with the Timney losing out slightly because it may need some inletting. I plan to use this on a CZ455 in a Tacticool stock. Is there any real differentiating...

    CZ 455 Varmint at the range

    So here's my newly acquired CZ 455, in .22LR. Out of the box, it came with one 5 rd mag, I bought an extra 10 rounder as well. The bolt body had some light rust marks on it, I'm going to have to find a way to fix and prevent that. Bolt closure and safety are rough at the moment, I'm hoping...

    Cleaning a new .22 rifle?

    So, from what I've read, the .22 caliber rod, jag, and brushes I already have are oversized for my .22LR's bore. Do I just buy a set in .20 caliber to clean the new rifle? P.S. The rifle is a CZ455

    Memorial Day Sales?

    What sales and discounts are coming up? I'd like to pick up a few things like new ear pro, a few reloading accessories, etc... My main purchase will be a Vortex Sparc II, so I'm hoping to take advantage of the deals to get a good price on it.

    Aside from Accu-shot, who else makes a picatinny rail to replace the sling studs on a rifle?

    Expanding case necks/getting out dings - the hard way

    I got some Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass on the cheap, with the caveat that they were once fired, some dinged up, and some of them had erroneously been run into a 6 Creedmoor die and necked down. I figured I'd just anneal the necks on the necked down cases and expand them... Until I pulled out...

    40X vs 541T vs Model 82 Gov

    I'm looking for a quick primer on the Remington 40x and 541T rifles, as well as the Kimber Model 82 Government. Down and dirty, pros, cons, which one is better in bed, etc...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a good karambit

    So I've been playing Splinter Cell lately, and I'm convinced the only reason I'm not a super duper secret agent is because I don't have a karambit. That's the only reason I'm not opening Amazon packages like an operator. So, who makes a good quality karambit? Let's define good as 'better...

    Converting .308 Win to 6.5 Creedmoor - Mission (almost) Accomplished!

    First, if you're going to offer alternatives, I'm not interested. I've done a fair bit of reading on this over the past week, and every thread has got a few from the peanut gallery. "Why don't you just buy the brass?" or "Start with a different case!" I've got plenty of Hornady ammo and virgin...

    Converting .308 Brass To 6.5 Cm - Necking down?

    Any thoughts on necking down brass? I have Redding Type S bushing dies for both .308 and 6.5. I'm not quite confident about just running the .308 brass right into a 6.5 die to neck it down in one step, even with annealing first. Is there an intermediate caliber die I can buy to neck down? I...

    Does anyone work on Mosin Nagants? Re-barreling, etc...

    A buddy of mine really loves him some Mosin Nagant and wants to sporterize one. Are there any smiths out there who work on Nagants? He wants to have the receiver trued (as much as can be done on a Nagant), and a new barrel installed. I suggested he buy a takeoff Remington barrel, or...

    Great Places To Work?

    I'm wrapping up the last class of my MBA, and I'll also be done with my two year stint as a systems engineer in the near future. We (the engineers were brought in as a cohort) have been told it's almost impossible that we won't all be kept on in permanent positions, but I like to keep options...

    I miss Brunhilda

    Another weekend without sweet ole Brunhilda... I had my Remington 700 rebuilt last summer. Blueprinted, fitted with a Krieger barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, an AAC 51T brake installed for the wondrous day when I get a suppressor, and a fluted PTG bolt hand polished for a perfect fit in...
