    Hunting/Competition Rifle Selection

    I do reload quite a bit, so I’m looking for a caliber that’s pretty easy to get components for. I know the 6.5 Creedmoor has lots of options, along with the 308 and I have experience reloading both. Would the 308 be a better choice? I’m unfamiliar with shooting and loading the long action...

    Hunting/Competition Rifle Selection

    How do the heavier 6.5 bullets (147+) perform on game out of a creedmoor? Would it be enough for something the size of an elk?

    Hunting/Competition Rifle Selection

    Yeah, I’d be leaning much more to the hunter style matches. I really like the idea of learning how to use all of my gear together. I wouldn’t mind parting out and building the rifles myself if it’ll get us more bang for our buck even if it’ll cost a little more. I’ll start looking into the...

    Hunting/Competition Rifle Selection

    Mule deer and pronghorn. Similar sized game in Africa. It will be regional PRS matches and NRL Hunter matches. I’m looking at putting around $1500 in a rifle with about the same in optics.

    Hunting/Competition Rifle Selection

    I’m planning on going on a big game hunt with my dad in the next 2-3 years (time to save up money and train) either out West or to South Africa. The problem is that neither of us have a bolt action rifle that would do the trick and I’m having trouble figuring out our next steps going forward.(I...

    Suppressors Suppressed .300 Blackout

    I have paperwork sent in for a .308 Winchester monocore suppressor with a total length of 9.5". I was thinking of building an AR chambered in .300 Blackout to go with the suppressor; however, I want to minimize the rifle's length and put in an SBR barrel with an endcap and the suppressor body...

    Gunsmithing AK-47 Trouble Shooting

    Re: AK-47 Trouble Shooting I have narrowed down all of the trouble to the bolt. The part of the bolt that hooks into the rails is too short for some reason allowing the bottom to tilt to the left and jam up on the rounds on the left. The frame is to spec and if it got any tighter the bolt...

    Gunsmithing AK-47 Trouble Shooting

    Re: AK-47 Trouble Shooting I had a friend who's built several of these same kits over the years watching over my shoulder to make sure I did it right. The flats that he's shaped from the same jig have all run without any troubles. The only ammo I've run through it are about 4 boxes of NORINCO...

    Gunsmithing AK-47 Trouble Shooting

    I recently completed a pre-ban ak-47 parts kit with a Tapco frame and parts, and its having feed issues. It will chamber the first round when I rack it back and fire and do the same for the second round when after the first shell is ejected. The problem comes after that. The bolt seems to end up...
