    Thanks to Rifle Basix

    A long story short is that I had "misplaced" the reset spring in my Rifle Basix trigger that is in one of my Remington 700's. I had the trigger out in order to have the barreled action refinished. I spoke with Clay at Rifle Basix Monday afternoon and I received another spring today (Wednesday)...

    Rifle Scopes Another base and rings question.

    My Remington 700 SA is off getting refinished and I'm trying to get some parts ordered before it comes back. The scope that I will be mounting is a Leupold Mark 4, 30mm tube, 3 1/2-10 x 40mm objective. The rifle has a standard Remington varmint weight barrel on it. I'm in the process of...

    Gunsmithing Repairing a H-S Precision stock.

    I have a H-S Precision PSV74 stock that has the dual palm swells. I've never been able to warm up to the dual swells and would like to grind/sand flat the swell on the off side. Anyone done this that can offer advice to the removal and then the needed repair? Thanks, Jim

    Barrel contour of the Remington 5R?

    I've done some internet searching for this info and can't find anything beyond "varmint contour". Rifle is the Remington 5R in .308 with the 24 inch barrel. Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of purchasing a wood stock for this rifle and that is one of the spec's that I need to know. It seems...

    Rifle Scopes How can I get my scope lower?

    Here's the deal. On one my Remington 700's I have a Badger Ord. one piece 0 cant base with the Badger Ord. standard .823 rings. My scope is a Leupold Mark 4, 3 1/2-10 x 40. These rings are the lowest that B.O. makes. With this setup my scopes objective bell is at least 1/2 inch above the top of...

    Which others should I consider?

    Hi guys,I've been away from the forum for awhile (doing more shooting then typing). I'm looking into purchasing a semi-auto for scope use in 7.62x51. A little background, I currently have a GAP .308 bolt gun that is a laser beam shooter and two SA M1A's, a Socom 16 and a Scout/Squad, both of...

    Butler Creek caps for Swarvo Laser Guide?

    Some time ago I ran across an article outlining fitting Butler Creek objective caps to the Swarovski Laser Guige rangefinder. I fitted mine with these caps and have been very pleased. This past week I was out shooting with another member of the hide and he took a interest in the cap setup. I...

    GAP chamber / throat length.

    As I posted a month or so ago I received my "modified" Rock from GAP. To say that I'm very happy with it is an understatement. I've been doing my inital load testing at 100 yards and the rifle wants to put the rounds into one ragged hole. I've found this to be the case even if I'm not on top of...

    Range Report JBM Ballistics?

    I have a question concerning data input on the JBM site. In their section for trajectory cards they ask to input the altitude. I'm assuming they are asking for the density altitude, but they don't really say. Anyone know for sure? Are they asking for the density altitude or just regular...

    Suppressors 1911 Colt Rail Gun.

    I went into the big city last week on business and decided I could use a new 1911. I was is the market for one with a light rail just because I did not have any with a rail and my 16 year son was pushing me in that direction. Looked at Springfields and Kimbers (own only Colts), but then noticed...

    Great freaking news. Rifle is finished.

    This past tuesday I got the call from Tracy at GAP, my full build is finished. George had givin me a build time of 6 to 8 months. Well the call came in at 6 months and 1 day after placing the order. WOW! Damn I can't wait. The 6 months went by quickly but the next week is going to take forever...

    Rifle Scopes Adjusting parallex/focus on Leupolds?

    I want to mount a Leupold 4.5-14x40 Long Range (side focus) on a rimfire. Problem is the focus range via the side knob is from 75 yards out to infinity. I need for the range to start at about 25 yards. I spoke to Leupold about this and the tech said that they can adjust this for a range of 25...

    Ruger 77/22 bolt lift?

    Well I went into a local gun shop yesterday to pick up some supplies and ended up walking out with this. Ruger 77/22 in .22lr, laminate stock with a 24" barrel. The barrel is slighty heavier then the normal 20" version. Finish is a stainless grey. I had been in the market for a 77/22 for a...

    Question about GAP camo.

    I placed my order about 6 weeks ago for a new rifle from GAP. The camo pattern on the stock is the GAP camo. I did not ask for any specfic precentages of colors in the pattern. What can I expect as far as color precents on the stock? Oh, the stock is the McMillian M40A1. Thanks. scout1

    Rifle Scopes Saw my first fake today.

    I went to my local range today to test a few loads though my 5R. It was pretty nice since I was the only one there. As I was finishing up another guy from the area who I did not know showed up. We started talking and he asked me if the scope on my rifle was a Leupold Mark 4, it is. He then asked...

    Rifle Scopes Scope fit???

    Got a question. My new build from GAP will be a Rem. 700 action with a #7 contour barrel, Badger base and rings. Rings will be the standard height. For a scope I'm leaning towards a Leupold Mk4 4.5-14x50. I've done some checking and the ring height is correct for this scope. With this setup...

    Cerakote and solvents?

    My GAP build will have all the metal finished in Cerakote. Is cerakote incapatable with any gun cleaning solvents? I normally use Shooter's Choice and Sweet's in my bores. Does either of these two solvents eat up the cerakote at the muzzle? Just wondering. Thanks, scout1

    Is this package deal a good deal???

    Well I and a friend of mine went out the other day to bust some rocks with my Remington 5R in .308. I've had this rifle for a little over two years now and have been very happy with it. Everytime this buddy of mine shoots it he wants one. So proceeded to tell him a little of its history; you...

    New rifle shipping by GAP?

    I've had my GAP build on order for only two weeks but I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row for the day when the magic phone call comes. I do not wish to bother GAP with this or tie up their phone lines. How does GAP ship their new builds out? Do you buy a hardcase from them? Do you send...
