I have a buddy with an aluminum receiver for a 10-22 that is anodized blue and he wants to change the color to flat black. If you prep the receiver (sand blast it) can it be Duracoated or Ceracoated? Does anyone know which brand is better? I have done a lot of searching on line and cannot...

My appologies right off if this question is posted in the wrong forum, I could not find a forum specific to ammo. I am looking for suggestions on some good 308 match ammo in 168 and 175 grain. I have heard good things about Black Hills, but like many other manufacturers I cannot find anyone...

Hi. I purchased an AI chasis system for my Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD. I am planning on having the action blue printed and was thinking of putting an oversize recoil lug. Do I have to have the lug recess widened in the AI chassis so that it will fit? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken

I recently bought an Accuracy International Chassis System for my Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD. When I bought it I was told that bedding was not necessary because the action lays in the aluminum V-Block of the AI Chassis. I was looking through some of the classifieds and noticed that someone has a...

I just got a new AICS 2 system for my Remmy 700 SPS and love the stock. I am looking to add some goodies to it (knurled cheek weld screws, mono pod, bi-pod, etc) and have been looking at some bi-pods for the system. AICS bi-pods are nice, and I like the way they mount forward of the stock, but...

I am putting together a build and want to put a good muzzle brake on my SPS. I am teetering between the Badger FTE and the RatWorx Big Chubby. You can see some impressive video of the "Chubby's" effectiveness HERE. The Badger is smaller, weighs in at 8.8oz and the Chubby weighs in at...

I want to start applying different paints/coatings like DuraCoat to various parts and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for equipment (air brush, compressor, etc.) I have a huge compressor but was wondering if a smaller bench top model would be better. Any input greatly appreciated...

Was looking at the APO (Ashbury Precision Ordnance) stocks and they look pretty cool. Does anyone have any experience with them good or bad? Ken

I recently purchased a Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD and want to get a well built light weight tactical stock for it. I am planning on adding a Badger Trigger Guard and maybe a Jewell trigger. At some point I will also add a Badger bolt knob and a muzzle brake, but don't plan on dumping...

OK, this is probably a stupid question, but I have a GAP Remington 700 that has a Badger rail and Nightforce scope & rings. I lapped the scope rings and torqued everything down to spec. Now I need to do some inletting on the stock (under the barrel). My question is, if I remove the scope...
