    Pressure signs... why now?

    Re: Pressure signs... why now? If the fouling is built up it could increase velocity and pressure. Not a definite answer to why. But a possibility. I know that after several hundred rounds my velocity alway increases. JAA

    Pressure signs... why now?

    Re: Pressure signs... why now? Have you cleaned the rifle at all since you started shooting this load? How many rounds since it was last cleaned? JAA

    My new build by Old Lodge Armory

    Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory pinkMist, I had a chance to go to the range a chrono the rifle yesterday. With my hand load I was getting an average of 2629 fps. I don't have any pressure signs so I will go up on the powder charge and see if I can get to 2700. It will also depend on...

    mcm a4 vs. hs pst035

    Re: mcm a4 vs. hs pst035 H-S makes some great stocks, with that said I still prefer the McM A4 over every other stock on the market. It really comes down to personal preference when picking a stock. If you really want the McM A4 then wait and get it or you won't be happy. JAA

    My new build by Old Lodge Armory

    Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory Never had a problem with brass in my face on bolt actions, only on old AR's with no brass deflector and HK's. I am a creature of habit, I guess. Train with something long enough and anything different just won't seam right. JAA

    My new build by Old Lodge Armory

    Re: My new build by Old Lodge Armory Yep, you are correct, right handed bolt and lefty shooter. I have used right handed bolt's all my life and that is what works best for me. I had a lefty and sold it to build this one. JAA

    My new build by Old Lodge Armory

    Here are a few quick pics of the work of art Mark Williams (triple 6) of Old Lodge Armory built for me. It shoots as well as it looks too. I'll post a range report after I get the load worked up. But with 168 FGMM groups at 300 yards were 1.9", 1.7" and 1.1" with a 8 mph cross wind and me...

    Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners

    Re: Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners I have had mine for about 6 Months, I was lucky enough to pic it up with the rifle. I have two others one that I also picked up on the hide about a year ago. One is going on a M40A5 specish build and one on my 338LM. I love this scope and the Gen 2...

    Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners

    Re: Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners I have a GAP M40A3 on return stock and my scope is a S&B 3-12x50 Gen. 2 Mil-dot, MTC. It does not have the 8541 markings on it, but it is the same scope just does not have the military markings. You may be able to find one on a rare occasion on the...

    GAP M40a3 question

    Re: GAP M40a3 question It would be an A5 if you added the EFR as well. It should not make a difference in value of the rifle as you are adding a $150 break plus having it installed. Other than maybe going up as most people would like a break on their rifles. It's your rifle make it what...

    New Virginia Gun Smith- Old Lodge Armory

    Re: New Virginia Gun Smith- Old Lodge Armory Paint looks great. Does not even look like the same rifle. I had a former ARMY sniper teach me to krylon my rifles (trobertson5-0). I may have to get some pointers from Sean and combine the two expert opinions. JAA

    Re: sell several rifles for just one or two customs? Sell several to fund one custom with good glass and shoot the crap out of it. You will know your equipment better and run it better. JAA

    GAP M40A3 or Crusader

    Re: GAP M40A3 or Crusader I personally like the M40A3 or A5. GAP will build what you want. You just have to know what it is you like. As for the twist rate question 1 in 12 is fine but it is designed at 24" on the A3 if you want a different barrel length you should research what will work...
