    Gunsmithing Reaming 260 Rem to 6.5 SAUM

    Hi Fellas, I just had a 6.5 SAUM reamer arrive from PTG. I've got a Savage here chambered in 260 Rem that I want to rechamber using the new reamer (I've got a magnum bolt head I'm going to fit up as well). I've been wondering if it's a problem given that I already have a chamber around the same...

    New bits and pieces 260

    I've wanted to do myself a 260 for a while now and this one sort of fell together from parts I had lying around or swapped for other work. The action is a LH Stiller Tac 30 AW that I bartered for some machining work. It's got a pinned 20 MOA rail and pinned lug supplied by Stiller. The trigger...

    Feedback on barrel centreline swivel bipod/mount for AICS stocks

    I've been playing around for a while with different bipod setups for an AICS and machined this up recently. I like the idea of it, the rifle swivels around the barrel centreline and can be locked up with the knob at the front. It locks into the stock using the regular AI spigot and the bore of...

    Gunsmithing Savage chassis for AICS/Viperskins

    I started designing this a while back and had the solid model sitting on the computer. My CNC packed it in a couple of weeks back and I got all the new parts for it late last week. I wanted to run something through the mill to test it all out before I did some customers jobs just in case...

    Gunsmithing Sako 85 into AICS

    I thought I'd post up a few photos of a conversion I did recently. Starting with an AICS stock and a Sako 85. I machined up a new centre block to suit the Sako and modified an AI AW mag to suit the Sako action. The stock has a 4340 recoil lug fitted as well, for some reason Sako don't use one in...

    Gunsmithing AW magazine inlet

    Hi fellas, I'm in the process of making a chassis to fit a Sako 85 into some AICS skins. The Sako is a staggered feed in the original magazine but they're only available in 5 round. I took a look at the AI AW magazines and they look to be a similar setup to the original Sako one as far as...

    Gunsmithing Here's a different question- Winchester 92

    Ok, I'd like to pick some brains here as there's bound to be a lever gun expert hanging around. I have a Winchester 92 in 32-20 that I'm playing with at the moment. I'm going to make a 16" trapper style/takedown rifle out of it. The barrel is stuffed and I was going to fit a chopped down 30 cal...

    6BR tactical match rifle- start to finish

    Hi guys, I put up a few odd posts about this rifle and stock but I put everything together into one post and thought you might be interested. I'm from Australia and tactical matches are just starting to take off here, I shot my first one back in May and learnt a lot about what I would need to be...

    6BR Howa

    I got my latest Howa just about finished this weekend. I rebarreled my 223 to 6BR with a 22.5" 1/8 twist barrel. I had to machine the bolt face to suit but it's come up really well. Scope is a Vortex Viper PST 4-16 FFP, currently an EGW base and not sure on the rings, I just wanted to fit...

    Gunsmithing Items affected by ITAR

    Hey guys, I've been trying to find what specific items are regulated to import into the US under the ITAR laws. Would ITAR affect a trigger guard or adjustable butt plate? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Greg

    Tacticool adjustable butt stock

    Hey guys, I posted up a couple of photos in the "show us your rimfire stick" thread and some people seemed interested so I thought I'd start a new thread rather than hijack that one. Some photos below of the adjustable butt stock I made for my Savage yesterday. I just scanned the end of the...

    Savage 92r17FV- I'm impressed!

    G'day guys, this is only my second or 3rd post here but I had to post, I'm really impressed with this little rifle! I bought a Savage 93 in 17hmr last week and took it to the range for the first time today. I bought a Boyds Tacticool stock a while back so I fitted that to it and made up a...
