    6.5 creedmoor vs 260 rem vs 6.5/06 what to do!

    I like all three, but would choose the 6.5 Creedmoor in the short action. Seems like the 6.5 Creedmoor is a little easier to tune than the .260 and the Hornady ammo is readily available. I would choose the 6.5 Creedmoor.

    Muzzle brake for a 300. win mag

    Take a look at the OPS R3E2C. I use them anytime I have the choice. Very effective on braking and the only impact on accuracy is to the positive.

    ALG Defense triggers

    Out of curiosity I checked out the link and there is a major bit of misinformation provided there...........the thread pitch for the pistol grip screw is 1/4-28" not the 1/4"-20 listed. Lots of junkyard not much genius......

    Suppressors Spectre ii vs sparrow?

    I've got the Spectre II and am well pleased. Shooting it on a 22/45 Lite there is no first round pop and it seems very quiet. The Gemtech subsonic is very impressive. I bought it because of the caliber versatility and don't mind the extra weight. I am soon going to thread my Anschutz .17HMR an...

    Glad you got the forward assist figured out. On the topic of the castle nut.....try the Hammerhead Rifle Tool when removing or installing the receiver extension lock ring(castle nut). I've been using this tool for awhile and it works really well. -Len

    Your favorite Muzzle Brake, and why?

    Re: Your favorite Muzzle Brake, and why? My vote is for the OPS R3E2C brake. I have installed them on many builds and am well satisfied with their performance. I have fitted them to many bore diameters from .264 up to .338... The lack of muzzle movement and recoil reduction is impressive. -Len

    "Skim bedding" stocks with aluminum bedding blocks

    Re: "Skim bedding" stocks with aluminum bedding blocks I cannot comment on the Choate.... But we bed plenty of HS stocks using Devcon and I haven't seen an issue with the bedding not holding up. I use a moto-tool and a 1/8" carbide burr to rough up and dimple both the aluminum and the...

    Gunsmithing How do you store your removeable pilots?

    Re: How do you store your removeable pilots? We use the Durham plastic dividing boxes like Dave mentioned. They mike a nice metal enclosure that you can screw to the wall and then five of the plastic boxes slide into that. They are kind of pricy but work real well. MSC# 00064964 -Len Old...

    Drill barrel blank for gas ports

    Re: Drill barrel blank for gas ports I hope that this reply isn't off topic. First, Let me say that I agree with Toolmakr regarding the placement of the gas port into the bore. Enough said, moving on... A large portion of the work that I do is centered around the AR platform. I drill all...
