    It has, but I have an extra keg that's available. Where are you located?

    Reloading Equipment WTT H1000 for 215M

    I have a new unopened 8# keg of H1000 that I can let go for 3 bricks (3000) of 215M primers. If you have some extra primers we can work something out. I'm willing to drive about 200 miles from Huntsville, AL to meet.

    Who’s your preferred custom rifle builder?

    Jim See will be the only smith I use. He's built me 2 rifles, 7 SAUM and 25 SST, and they are exactly what I wanted. Extremely accurate, great lead time, and Jim is one hell of a shooter, trainer, and builder.

    Carbon Six barrels?

    I ordered my barrel on 28 May and it shipped 1 Oct. It was a custom profile which caused some delay, but I wasn't in a rush. The barreled action is now finished and on its way back to me from Jim See. I made a vid comparing the weights of CarbonSix and an identical steel barrel. I'll make vids...

    Video: How much does a carbon barrel actually save?

    Hell yeah! It's very long right now, a bad cut last month. I'm rebuilding my '81 CJ7 and my first ride in it will be top off, no doors, and 80s rock cranking! My wife said that's fine, as long as my first drive is to the barber. I've had a medium reg for about 20 yrs. The carbon six is their...

    Video: How much does a carbon barrel actually save?

    Here's a short vid I made comparing a steel barrel and a carbon wrapped barrel of identical make, length, and profile.

    Action receiver/barrel thread length

    I've wondered the same thing. I went with a Surgeon 591 that's tendon length is just under an inch. If I were to design an action, it would have a thread length of at least an inch. If nothing else, it would make me feel better when shooting a heavy barrel and suppressor. On a side note, I've...

    What is the length of the barrel tenon? I may have missed it. Thanks.

    PIERCE ENGENERING rifles

    If you are talking about Ryan Pierce at piercisionrifles then you are talking about some very fine rifles. I met Ryan back before he opened his business. He is a stand up guy, great shooter, and a hell of a gunsmith. He learned the trade from a hell of a gunsmith (shocking, I know), and Ryan...

    Chandler's Iron Brigade Armory now closed?

    It's always sad to hear of a fellow Marine passing, but I'm not shedding any tears in this instance. I stopped by their shop, after calling, in 2004 and I was met with a less than welcoming attitude. After a short conversation with one of the Chandler's outside, I very quickly decided to never...

    Very nice. What does that beast weigh and which contour is the Proof?

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Has anyone seen the performance out of a 20" barrel compared to a 24-26"? Also, is there any updates for the Matrix 150?

    6.5 SAUM 4s over 10lb Tactical Rifle Thread

    Would you happen to know the weight of the rifle? From the looks of it, it should shoot lights out!

    338 Norma: What Action and who to build

    My next custom will be on the Badger M2013 action, mainly due to the extra long barrel threads. The stiff barrel/action will be very beneficial for the suppressor hanging on the muzzle. Good luck with your build.

    NEW from XLR Industries **ELEMENT CHASSIS**

    Will the Element be inleted for the M2013 action? If so, do you have an estimate for when?

    Rifle for a young marine

    The way the Corps is these days, someone caught with any reloading gear (or anything that could be considered an explosive, even simple firecrackers) in the barracks is a career killer, if not resulting in severe legal action and a BCD. Personally that's not a risk I would be willing to take...

    Rifle for a young marine

    Big game hunting on base (out here anyway) cannot be done with a rifle. The only weapons allowed are muzzle loaders, slug guns, and archery gear. IMO the best places to hunt around here are on base, that's mainly because of the ban on dog hunting. Like you said, a long shot out here can be very...
