Primary Arms, in my experience, has great customer service. I pulled out my old 4-14x44 ffp to put on my new T1x and discovered I was missing one of the turret retainer screws. I sent PA an email asking if they could sell me one of those screws. Within one hour I had an email from David King...
Thanks for the responses folks. I've been told to be ware of gunbroker and we don't have Cabelas in Cali but I now see Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop are teamed up and I didn't know that. Wikiarms didn't find the gunprime deal. Thanks again
T1x vs 457? The question seems to be moot. I can't find either one for sale anywhere! Does anybody have a line on where to obtain one of these fine peashooters? I got a birthday coming up!
I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Combat-Tactical-Rifle-Black/dp/B01MQU6KL0/ref=dp_ob_title_sports?th=1&psc=1 There's a little more than 8" extra when the rifle is folded.
I've since stripped my Tikka down to the receiver and rebuilt it but when it was a .223 carbon steel 24 incher, it liked American Gunner 55 gr by Hornady better than heavier match ammo. Not too expensive when you buy the 247 count cans. Got more half minute and better groups with American...
Carbon steel moves heat much better than does chrome moly which is, in turn, better than stainless. Stainless clings to its heat stubbornly and needs all the help it can get. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/heat-exchanger-material-thermal-conductivities-d_1488.html Metallurgists, please...
I got the armalite a2 stock flat top 20" bull barrel. https://www.armalite.com/product/15a4tbn-m15-20-target-rifle/ Because I'm in Cali they had to swap out the M15 receiver for the SPR-1. I don't know enough about ARs to tell the difference. Here's 5 shots of American Gunner at 100 in 3 holes...
Here's one on the cheap 6.5 grendel mini action from Brownells $365 Boyds At-one with target grips $204 Weaver two piece rail $10 UTG rings $20 Mueller AO 4.5-14x40 (already had this, will upgrade) $125 reshaping the crappy grip part of the stock, several hours
I found a youtube fix for the mushiness my athlon argos turret clicks. Pop the caps, clean out the cosmoline with alcohol and qtip, and apply Green Snot (a lube used by rc car racers). Viola, instant Viper for half he money. At least it seems to me. Edit: I'm sorry, it's Green Slime, not snot.
