    Duplicate Thread, Please Disregard...

    This looks like it is going to be a popular item! http://www.giraudtool.com/annealer1.htm The only down side that I can see is that there is only one burner. That would make it tricky to get "Lapua Looking" brass. There is an additional propane torch assembly option listed on the site, but...

    Suppressors Form 1 Retuned for an "Error"

    I received my most recent Form 1 back from the bATF last night with an "Error" on it. Unbeknownst to me, you can only list one barrel length on a Form 1. Since I plan on using multiple SBR uppers on this registered SBR lower, I listed 10.5" & 14.5" on the Form 1. I made the correction and mailed...

    Gunsmithing Bedding Rings to add MOA Cant???

    With my most recent project being a 300 BLK upper, I am finding myself needing lots of elevation due to the steep trajectory when using subsonic 220 grain SMKs. I do not want to use a base to get the additional cant and was hoping to get it via the rings. I'm using the ARMS #22 Medium rings...

    I am in the process of getting setup for 300 BLK and at this time only Forster Dies are available for this SAAMI spec. Throughout the years I have become very fond of Redding Dies and really like the results I get when using the Redding Carbide expander ball. (Since is free floats on the stem...

    Suppressors BATF Lost my Form 1

    Anyone ever had the BATF loose one of their packages? Just got off the phone with the NFA branch and they have no idea where my Form 1 package is. They show it arriving on 10/08/2010 and the check was cashed on 10/19/2010. The woman that I spoke to was quite pleasant and called me back with...

    300 BLK Load Data

    I have been intrigued by the new incarnation of the SSK "300 Whisper®" concept introduced this month by AAC. This looks like it will be a nice solution in many areas. Since the 300 AAC BLACKOUT is an official SAAMI spec cartridge now, hopefully more innovation in this platform will come about...

    Suppressed 10/22 reliability tip

    Anyone who shoots a Ruger 10/22 is aware of how dirty the action gets. Couple this with the use of a sound suppressor on an SBR and you end up with a weapon who's action quickly becomes sticky after just a couple hundred rounds. In my case, I could shoot no more than six 30 round magazines...

    For those of you that have used it in the past, the Leupold Military / Federal LE program offers a pretty sick discount to those that qualify.

    Ok, this one is pretty frustrating... I was cleaning my AR last night and as I normally do it, I clean the bore last. Normally I use the small Otis patches in this weapon, but on this pass I was mopping out the bore after treating it with BoreTech and wanted to maximize the surface area, so I...

    Bullet Style Choices

    Please forgive me if this topic has been covered at length in a different thread. I did a search with no success.
