    Gunsmithing AI mag fitment

    A friend of mine just bought a LA AICS. He installed his 6.5x55 Rem700 into it then inserted the mag. The mag went in and locked, but it would move up an additional .375" or so. So my question is, what stops the mag? In my short action AICS, the mag is stopped by the bottom of the receiver...

    Gunsmithing 308AR POI Shift

    I've assembled a 308AR using Mega receivers, CBI 20" hb and f/a bcg. It took me awhile to get a load that shoots well. My problem is poi shift from cold to very hot. What's unusual to me is that cold, the poi is >3moa vertical and patterns instead of groups. As it gets hot, the poi drops...

    I saw these at a local gunshow and starting thinking of my support hand cramping sometimes while squeezing the rear bag when doing alot of shooting. Took a little getting use to, but worked out great for me once I applied a consistent pressure on the stock. Check it out. What do you think...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor question

    I just bought my first Vortex Razor 5-20 HD. At first glance when I opened the box I thought I'd gotten the wrong scope because it was black, not the original color. So, I was wondering if the color is an option or did they change and when?

    What would you do?

    I'm trying to decide whether to sell my AAC-SD barreled action or part it out (sell the barrel) and use the receiver as a donor. I already have a .308 with a Bartlein, one with a Shilen and one with a factory 5R. Also have an LTR and a Tactical, both in .223. So, should I just sell the AAC-SD...

    Gunsmithing Where to get bolt handle repaired

    A friend of mine was shooting his newly chambered Rem 700 in 22-250 when he encountered a fired brass that wouldn't extract. He then applied too much force on the oversized bolt knob, it broke off. Now, what kind of repair would all of you suggest he get and where? I'm sure he would be very...

    Custom Build First Groups

    I'm kind of curious what kind of first round groups people are getting with their custom builds. After sighting in my build, I proceeded directly into shooting 9 groups of 5 rnds. For the money I had invested into the barreled action, I feel pretty good about it overall. Oh yeah, that was my...

The stock came with 3 Seekins...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Inspection Sticker

    Ok, maybe a stupid question, but I just got my first Nightforce scope and was wondering if there is a reason to keep the sticker on or just go ahead and remove it.
