I'll take it per phone conversation...Thanks

I'm about to re-attempt to bed a PTG detachable mag bottom metal on a Remington 700 Bell & Carlson stock with Devcon and would like to know approximately how long I should wait for it to dry before removing the metal and trimming work with a knife, etc.? My first attempt didn't go too bad...

Guys, thanks for the suggestions on the dye. I have read elsewhere that additives may affect the characteristics of the epoxy and that painting after it has cured is perhaps wiser. I haven't had time to bed the rifles yet, but think I will go that route.

I'm getting ready to bed a couple of rifles for the first time, and would like to have the putty turn out black on one of them. I was wondering what product or products I can use to add to putty in order to make it black, and if there's a product that I can buy in a common brick and mortar...

It really depends on the level of competition you're wanting to participate in. For plinking and competition where a caliper won't be used for measuring the results, I recommend a Ruger MKII or MKIII. Unlike the Browning Buckmark, which I also like, no screws are needed for disassembly, and no...

MLC, thanks for the heads-up on Bob Green; he's only 1.5 hrs from me. Have you had work done by him? LoanHarvey, PM sent requesting more info. Thanks again guys!

Thanks for the replies. If anyone knows of someone in MD who can do this, please drop me a message or email. The reason for doing this is that I have a Rem 700 SPS Varmint .223 that I would like to take to a country where .223 is illegal but .222 is alive and well and permitted (and I don't...

Assuming the bore specs are the same for both calibers, can the barrel be reused? Thanks

I got it working. I don't have a trigger gauge, so I can't say the weight I got it down to, but I'll probably call them this coming week... Thanks

I bought this trigger a few weeks back, supposedly lightly used. It came with instructions, etc., and doesn't look abused at all. I followed instructions, lightly adjusted the bolt release engagement point, and dry-fired it once, then it locked up. Bolt handle won't even turn. Thinking the...

If you're talking Anschutz, then you should have the funds or inclination to try one of the guns below. None are single-shots or have 8" barrels but rather 7ish inch barrels and semi-autos or revolvers... S&W 41 (personal preference is 5.5", although there were 6", 7", and 7 7/8" factory...

Thanks again guys! Both my rifles seem to sit square on all three stocks, so I guess I lucked out. I still plan on skim bedding them, though, after I figure out if there are any action to stock preferences. One more thing to research when the time comes; shooting rests. I may need one of...

Thanks guys! I'll keep an eye out for the heat. It never gets that hot here, but sometimes it reaches 100F-110+F and I have no idea how much more the "greenhouse affect" of being in the car adds to those numbers. I should shoot an email to Al Gore. I wouldn't mind seeing one of those...

I'm trying to avoid a which stock is better thread, but rather want to know what kind of problems are common with the HS Precision stocks. I realize that McMillan and Manners stocks are better, and that aluminum chassis are altogether more stable, but I already have the HS precision stocks (two...

Go with the AI mag version as it'll probably save yourself some headache down the road with finding reliable mags and mag parts.

Much obliged!

To add to the question, if I may. I've also wandered why people advertise a rifle or receiver as G prefix, etc., and assumed it was to specify that it was built during Dupont's involvement with the company, when quality was supposedly better.

Hirtenberger is good stuff! I used to run that and Radway Green (RG) through my FALs back when they were abundant. I still have some RG, but the HP is gone, I believe. Headstamp Codes - International Ammunition Association Good luck

It looks awesome! It would look better without the bolt lift and side rail, but that's personal preference.

"build it, and they will come", laughing all the way... for a lot less he can buy a real WWII-vintage 91-30 sniper rifle with scope.
