    Gunsmithing Aluminum Barrel Blocks

    I have some older Aluminum barrel blocks and these do not grip anything. What do yall use or would you use to help make these blocks grip the barrel better? I was thinking of spraying them with Plastidip but didn't know if that would hold up to the pressure once it is in the vice. I have used...

    Legal Question - Hypothetical Situation

    This is just a situation I was told about and didn't know the answer too. This guy received all of the guns through a will from someone that died in his family. One of them was a real M16 or so he believes. I am assuming it has the 3 round burst (i dont have much knowledge of these so just...

    Hornady 123 SST .264

    I am starting to get into the 6.5 Grendel and have seen that the hornady 123gr sst is the go to bullet for this gun. the problem is every single place that I can find is out of stock. did they discontinue this bullet or just running low on supplies? Correction, I did find one place that had...

    223 to 6.5 Grendel - Stocks

    I have an AR pistol in 223 and looking to build an 18" 6.5 Grendel that I can swap between. The reasoning behind not just building a designated Grendel is my two gun case is only 32" long and I already have the lower setup perfectly. Does anyone swap out their stocks between a pistol brace and...

    Rifle Scopes Strike Eagle BDC on SBR

    I am torn between 2 scopes and its come down to the reticles. Does anyone have any experience with the strike eagle BDC on an 11.5" 223 SBR? Do the yardages match up to hits on targets out to 300 yards? I know the shorter barrel is going to give me slower velocities than what the BDC was built...

    300 Win Mag - Magwell lengths

    Figured the reloading page was the best spot since I will be reloading this round. If I am using one of the 210-230 gr bullets, is it worth getting the CIP magwell for 3.850" mags or will the standard 3.715" magwells for 300 WM suffice? since I am still in the early stages of the build, I want...

    I am going to try my hand at installing a Grovtec Flush Cup into a B&C stock this afternoon. I cannot find a tap anywhere in san Antonio that has a 9/16" tap. My question is, can I use the threads on the cup itself to tap into the stock? I know it is not professional but will it work? I will...

    I tried looking for something on this but haven't found anything. so this either means, not worth it or not recommended. Do any of yall polish the bolt raceways in the action? I have a savage model 10 and just curious if it will smooth it out a little bit. Nothing severe, works great. Just...

    Temp Sensative Powders

    For the people that use temperature sensitive powders, do you adjust your charges to the temp of the day you are shooting? I have a load that is salty at the 70-90 degree temperature but once it goes above 100 then it opens up. The higher the temp, the more pressure which equals more speed which...
