    Poll -- Help me pick a "free" AR

    Ok thanks again everyone. I have a separate but related question. It appears that the KAC is built specifically for the 300 AAC caliber. Question is: can I purchase a 556 upper and swap back and forth with the 300 AAC caliber upper? Is the "lower" part of the KAC going to be the same as...

    Poll -- Help me pick a "free" AR

    Thanks very much to all for the comments and votes. It's safe to say I will get a 556 someday, and it sounds like close to a consensus for the KAC assuming it's not going to be my only AR. Dad says the KAC is bad ass and he thought that's the one I would want. I do reload so I'm not really...

    Poll -- Help me pick a "free" AR

    Rest of the story is I am a very lucky and undeserving son of the finest man I've ever known. Check out a couple dandies he gave me last year.

    Poll -- Help me pick a "free" AR

    So my dad got some brand new AR15s. He told me that for my birthday I can come down and take my pick! This will be my first AR15, and I would expect to use just for occasional range use. I'm toying with doing some 3 gun competitions. Which would you pick: 1. PWS .223 WYLDE 2...

    Gunsmithing Help with Timney install failure - spring and sear disintegration

    Well hell I got an email from the Tech at Timney who set me straight, so I gotta give them props for the response. Turns out the picture below is the correct installation of the sear: The spring -- doesn't belong to the Calvin at all! It came from the original xmark trigger. I guess I...

    Gunsmithing Help with Timney install failure - spring and sear disintegration

    Jason - thank you so much. Before I saw your message above I put the sear back in, but now I think I probably did it upside down. After looking at the diagram, it seems like the spring would go somewhere near the pivot point for the sear, maybe somewhere in here? By the way...

    Gunsmithing Help with Timney install failure - spring and sear disintegration

    Ok I think I see what's going on here now. I see the spring on the second diagram. Don't laugh but I don't even know how to orient the sear but I think from the pictures that the concave part points down. I'll post a couple more pictures later today. I owe you a beer!

    Gunsmithing Help with Timney install failure - spring and sear disintegration

    Hey I’m hoping someone can help me rectify a failed Timney installation. I tried to install a Calvin Elite in my Rem 700 5r 300WM. Problem I ran in to was that the hole for the front pin was partially blocked by the bolt release lever. Regardless of what position I try, I cannot move the...

    Super DIY solid reloading bench

    Hi all I've been lurking for a while and thought I would jump into the fray with pics of the reloading bench I built yesterday. I used Simpson Strong Tie brackets. My requirements were: - workable height for standing or sitting on barstool -- 36" - Super sturdy construction as the bench...
