    Gunsmithing Stiller Tac 338 in an AICS

    What's invloved here? I understand a slot needs to be milled for the recoil lug. Will this coincide with a solid part of the action, or the tubing portion? Will the larger OD on the action itself require any additional milling? Also, I spoke with Stiller regarding the new CIP mag chassis...

    Range Report Kestrel Crosswind feature

    Have y'all had luck inputing crosswind data, as calculated by a Kestrel, into ballistic calculalators? Baiscally, letting the Kestrel do the angular calculation? I'm curious to see how it will work, and intend to give it a shot next time out. I figured I'd see what your experiences might be...

    Gunsmithing Gas port location

    I've got a 7" pistol length gas tube for an AR 15 30-221 build. I have a JP adjustable gas block. I'll be profiling the barrel myself and installing the m4 barrel extension. My question is where should the port go? Is there a standard distance versus the back end of the barrel, barrel...

    Gunsmithing Reaming a sizing die

    big subsonic round for short action?

    I'm considering a bigger bore subsonic round to make up a switch barrel for a 700 short action / 308 bolt face. I'm not looking to change the bolt face, as I've already got 2 barrels for said rifle. Maybe a 50 beowulf? I see the rim diameter is .445. It's certainly short enough for the action...

    Suppressors trust abbreviations... what's the latest?

    So, I'd heard that abreviating a trust name on a form 1 is no longer acceptable (even when listed on the form in 4.h), and that the entire trust name should be included. Is this still the case? I'd rather abbreviate, as mine in about a mile long. Thanks in advance! CW
