    DBM feeding problem fix

    I ran into a little problem when I was getting my rifle put together. I found that the AI mag in my CDI bottom metal didn’t quite snug up to the bottom of the receiver as much as I needed it to. Now this is in no way a problem with CDI or AI or Manners, it’s just the result of the totality of...

    Kudos to McGowen Precision!

    I've read a few negative comments and reviews of their products in the past and I think they've changed owners recently, and I can't speak to that, but so far I have nothing but positive things to say about McGowen. I ordered a .260 barrel from them for my Savage that with my specs wasn't...

    Gunsmithing Powdercoating barrel and action

    Has anyone done this or heard of it being done? I would have them done in separate pieces and mask off and plug all critical areas before applying the coating. It's very durable and provides excellent protection and is also pretty cheap. Is there any reason not to do it?

    Gunsmithing Wet sand Duracoat?

    I'll be painting my stock in a digital camo pattern and I'm worried about noticable raised edges of paint around where the stensils were. Has anybody wet sanded their Duracoated stock after the color coat? If so how did it turn out? I assume it's like any other paint as long as you take your...

    Does anyone have opinions, reviews, or builds done with the Sako 85 actioned rifles, the A7 or the Finnlight series? I see plenty on the TRGs but not really a whole lot on the other Sako oferings.

    Why not a .270?

    Well I've narrowed my rifle choice to a Tikka T3, now I just need to settle on a caliber. I'm leaning towards tha .270. It's main use will be shooting steel and paper out to 600yds and maybe some deer hunting. I reload and have been looking at some of the bullet choices from Berger and Matrix...
