So our 2014 elk hunt started off the first day with horse trailers and hunters in every spot that I wanted to go. We had walked back the two miles to spike camp and there were 6 guys on horseback already camped in that drainage. So we glassed the rest of the day and saw nothing and made a move...

I wanted a fixture that could true up bolts and I was going to build one but then I decided to give it a go with the Viper fixture I had I figured if I messed it up I would just call Bob and order another one. So I brought the kids out in the shop with me since mama was gone and told them to...

So I have been using a fixture and it works OK. I know a lot of guys use the 4 jaw chuck are you using shims of some sort or soft jaws? I really do not want to use my outboard spider I do not like the way it puts stress on the barrel. Anyone see any issues I am missing with just using the 4 jaw...

So after having this service I am thinking about terminating my merchant account and not accepting credit cards anymore. I would like to hear opinions from others if it is really a deal breaker or not if a Firearms business does not accept credit cards.

Here are some builds I have done over the last couple of months I thought I would share. The first one I call the before and after project. This rifle was an old 30/06 that I turned into a 6.5-284 for myself. Notice the length of pull they added to the stock I could barely even get any sight...

Hello Gentleman, I am wondering what you are using for lapping compound for lapping lugs? The stuff I am using now seems ok but I am wondering if there is something better?

So a friend of mine wanted me to look at his Factory Remington 17 Rem that he said was piercing primers and then stopped firing all together. He bought the rifle used at a gun shop a couple of years back and the previous owner had a Sako extractor installed on it. I looked at the boltface and...

Has anyone here used Weatherby’s large magazine box for their 30-378 Mark V in a Remington 700 BDL before? If so what were the results and what is the Max OAL that the cartridge can be and still fit in the box? I am not too impressed with the results of large center feed box I have so I am...

So I am looking for a credit card processor to work with my droid and I have discovered some interesting things I thought I would share about credit card processors and their stance on anything to do with firearm sales, parts or ammo. I signed up with Square and a week later the CEO of the...

I built a 6.5-284 for my cousin and it is all finished except the cerakoting. The specs are a rem 700 Long action and I faced the action, cleaned up the threads, polished the locking lug area, and lapped the lugs. It has a Brux 6.5 8.5 twist #3 barrel and a Bell & Carlson stock that I bedded...

I was going to wait until the rifle was all done before I posted this but it is getting the best of me. I will not show the rifle until it is complete. The Wyatt’s mag box still needs to be installed and I need to coat the rifle. The specs are a Rem 700 Action, High Tech stock, Lilja #4 SS 10...
