    GA Precision question?

    I may be wrong, but I don't think a chambered barrel is hand lapped. I thought all lapping is done both prior to and after rifling. Like I say, I might be wrong like usual.

    I ended up doing all my factory bolts myself, with hand tools. Works for me.

    Left-handed AR15 Reccomendations

    Don't know how many assemblers are making any, but the main ones I see are Stag. I say assemblers because of his requirements. Or he could do it himself.

    Gunsmithing question on recoil lug...

    I'd do as most have suggested. But I'd at least check, that when you put the action into the stock and the rear of the recoil lug is against the stock's lug abutment, your action screws aren't riding against the pillars.

    GAP-10/Geissele trigger malfunction (Easy Fix?)

    I'd get a hold of Geissele and request a set of pins. I believe they are slightly oversized to fit snugly into your lower unless your lower is slightly worn or slightly overspec.

    GAP-10/Geissele trigger malfunction (Easy Fix?)

    My question is, did GAP put the anti rotation pins on? The reason I ask is Geissele specifically states not to use them. I'm sure that if GAP installs them, they must do some special magic to them.

    Bore guides...

    I always use a bore guide, because there are times when entering the throat area uncentered I might run the risk of damage, also to try to eliminate any chance of slapping the lands with the rod if I hit a tight spot. I also bring the jag all the way out the crown and don't want to bring it...

    What Bipod on your AI Stock

    I currently have 5 Harris and 3 Atlas. On my AICSs, I'm running both. Don't really know if I want to spend the money to get another Atlas and spigot when the Harris is working well for me. I agree with Where's-Waldo, that the Harris is quicker to deploy, adjust (notched) and stow.

    Winchester action builds

    This is what I found a few yrs ago: Gale McMillan on Remington vs Winchester The only reason that the mod.70 ever got anywhere in competition was the smoothness of the action. Since it gets half the closing cam from the bolt lug and half from the receiver and because it has a weak firing...

    Re-barreling a 700 at home?

    It can and is done quite a bit. Brownell's and Midway sell prethreaded short chambered Shilen barrels. AAC also sells a barrel that is adjusted only by varying the recoil lug thickness. I've got a .308 with one of the prethreaded short chambered Shilen barrels that I installed myself. I...

    Gunsmithing Filling Holes After Cheek Piece Removal ??

    I'd just use a snug fitting wooden dowel to fill the hole all the way through and use your putty or bondo of choice to patch the skin.

    Gunsmithing 700 bolt swap question

    Please explain to me what this means. I know for a fact that a 308 AICS mag will lock into my AICS .223 and the other way around. The way I see it, the mag doesn't lock into the action. Instead, it locks into the bottom metal and either abuts the action or at least comes close. The mags have...

    Gunsmithing NSS Rem-Age recoil lug pin and Manners Mini-Chassis

    Make sure you dry fit it first to make sure you have an issue. The way the mini chassis is, the action actually contacts the upper sides. If the pin does interact at the bottom, I would just either file or dremel it down flush.

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide to trade my scope

    I voted Bushnell for the simple fact that I like the reticle. Bushnell also has a money back guarantee if you decide you don't like it within a year. Or by then you might find something that'll tickle your fancy down the road.
