    Gunsmithing To rebarrel or wait.

    I would suggest more trigger time with what you have! Until you are very confident that you can out-shoot your current rifle it is not worth spending the money on an upgrade. I always recommend this to my customers. A new trigger will help and is something you will use on your new build when you...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat University Question

    I have not attended the class, but know of a couple people who have and they said it was informational and the Lauer family are great people. Personally I opted not to take it simply because I needed to invest that money into equipment for my shop. I chose to learn by trial and error. I really...

    Gunsmithing Buying a barrel with pre-cut chamber/tenon?

    Gunsmithing REM 700 trigger

    Timney, Shilen, Jewell are all very good triggers. Figure out what the rifles primary purpose will be and how much you want to spend then make your decision. Either what you will be coming out light-years ahead!

    Gunsmithing Action Question

    Unless you are really stuck on a 700 action I would spend the extra money on a custom action like a Stiller, etc. By the time you buy a donor rifle and and have the action blue printed you will have stuck just about enough into it to buy an custom action. You will likely only get very few...

    Gunsmithing What is the longest time a gunsmith took?

    Generally in my shop the main wait time for a rebarrel is dependent on whether you are custom ordering a barrel or just buying whatever may be in stock, but I dont know of any barrel wait times that would set you back 19+ months. I always give an estimated wait time once we discuss our project...
