Hey, I know this listing is getting old, but if you still have these rings I would like to buy them from you. I dropped you a pm. Jon

To my knowledge, Charlies has never produced any of these uppers. I don't know of anyone that has ever received one and the status of the item has not changed since they launched it on their site a couple of years ago. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. If someone ever does get the ball...

I wanted to do something similar and ended up using an LMT lower and Stag upper receivers. I say “receivers” because I built two complete uppers, one .308 and one 6.5 Creedmoor. Both fit nice and tight with absolutely no wobble. You do however need to ream the front pivot hole on the uppers, but...

Just got my ZP5 today from the fine gentlemen at CSTactical. I gotta say, what a scope! Jon

Hey i just discovered Griffin Armament is making one piece mounts now. Not QD, but they look pretty beefy with similar architecture to that of a SPUHR. Looks like a bargain to me at $210. Jon

I too have been strongly considering the Accupower 4.5-30 for my new 7mm saum build. There aren't a lot of reviews out, but the ones I've read mention they are very good in low light. The glass seems to be on par with some of the heavy hitters, would like to get my hands on one to look through...

Hey yakmastermax, what upper did you use for your build?

Re: Help modify (smooth out) a McMillan stock First the checkering will need to be roughed up so it will have some tooth. Mix up some epoxy then start mixing in baking soda till you achieve a consistency similar to toothpaste and use it as you would body putty. It won't level very well, so...

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks? Even without translation, bly's excellent series of pictures has shown a very good practical application of mold and part making. I do not make both sides of the mold as he did, but instead make a "parting board" and use the plug in its whole form to construct...

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks? rideHPD, In response to your reply concerning Tg values. I respectfully disagree that they are only used in the thermoplastics industry. I am neither a scientist nor a chemist and only use composites for my work so I am only self educated on the subject. If...

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks? In addition, don't worry about falling on your face, just read and take to heart the following quote from B.C. Forbes. "History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heart-breaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because...

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks? Tg stands for Glass Transition Temperature. It basicly means that at a given temperature the cured epoxy starts to soften, loosing its strength characteristics. Epoxies with a higher Tg value of say 250 degrees, will maintain its strength up to that temp...

Re: CAD/CAM to learn on?? Do a search on BobCad...not bad for the money. You can even down load a trial version for free to get your feet wet. Aspire is another one to look at. You can also down load a trial version of that to learn on. Its much more expensive at $2,000 but Aspire also writes...

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks? Actually, starting with an existing wood stock to fit the action of choice is a good idea. I've done a couple myself using a like method. If you are handy at wood working you can add and subtract wherever leaving your inletting in tact. Having access to a table...

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks? Bryan, I don't mean to discourage you, but your chances of finding much help in the area of composite stock construction are pretty slim. People like Tom Manners and the McMillans have spent mucho time and money developing their products and you can't blame...

Re: Home shop pics, lets see them. Hey STR, I'm looking for an oven about the size of yours to post cure composites. Is your oven a commercially built one or one you or someone else fabricated? Jon

Re: Seekins DBM Glad you got everything sorted out Andy! Jon

Re: Seekins DBM Take your barreled action out of the stock and bolt up the Seekins dbm with the pillars to the receiver. Take a few dummy rounds, load your magazine, and test function with this assembly. I'll bet it functions perfectly as mine does. Regardless of the thickness of the stock at...

Re: Browning X bolt scope mount I had Murphy Precision make one for my 308 x-bolt. They will make a rail in any cant you want. Be aware though, the heads of the outside cap screws will interfere with the mounting of the rings. A small notch will probably need to be dremeled in a couple of...

Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build hey Diesel, Did you use an off the shelf core box bit to inlett the action and barrel channel or did you get one custom made to size? Jon
