    XLR chassis/butt stock question

    Putting the parts for an XLR chassis together and found the tactical butt stock online for a good price, and now looking for a buffer tube to mount it on. Should I go through XLR industries to get this, or can I pick up an AR buffer tube? The ones online look a bit thicker/shorter than the mil...

    Suppressors Wilson 300 Blackout won't cycle subs

    Had a similar problem in a 16" barrel 300 Blackout. Glockdan's buffer weight suggestion was the first one I was going to follow, but I happened to have a spare buffer spring on hand. Started by trimming about .5" off this with a dremel, tried a few rounds, repeat. After the 3rd trim (1.5") my...

    Gunsmithing Monopod fab

    Re: Monopod fab Okay that's really sweet--I think I see how most of it came together, but am really interested how you made the scope ring mount? That locks into place either in the folded or 90 degree/extended position?

    People's thoughts on chamber adapters

    Re: People's thoughts on chamber adapters Definitely love the 30-06 rgvt4--I think this was the second round I ever fired after a 22 (after the whole "it don't kick that bad" egging... I must have been 7 or 8).

    People's thoughts on chamber adapters

    Re: People's thoughts on chamber adapters Thanks guys. I had thought about rechambering or finding someone that might want to swap barrels (or finding a sporter 308 take-off for cheap), but it seemed like kind of a long shot finding someone wanting to go from 308 to 30-06. For $25 the...

    People's thoughts on chamber adapters

    Was recently given a long action 30-06 Rem 700 sporter, really nice rifle in a caliber I haven't used in 20+ years (my only bolt gun is a 7mm). I don't own a single round of 30-06, but I have around 2500 rounds of .308 sitting around for my AR-10 and was toying with the idea of just picking...

    Gunsmithing Starter lathe or mill on Amazon?

    Re: Starter lathe or mill on Amazon? I've heard the Grizzly G9972 is a good place to start for a hobbyist. Never used one and I know there are people that are just plain anti-grizzly, but sometimes I wonder if it's not just the old Ford vs. Chevy argument. Like Ugsly says Grizzly has really...

    Gunsmithing Monopod fab

    Anyone have any experience building a monopod, for instance for CAA or PRS style stocks? Seems like it should be straightforward with the right combination of off-the-shelf bolts and lots of tapping/threading. But given that these things go from $90-$200 for what seems like a few dollars of...

    Gunsmithing Starter lathe or mill on Amazon?

    After a protracted order snafu, I now have around $1300 in credit on Amazon. Been browsing some of the entry level lathes and mills but am wondering if it's a bad idea to go through Amazon versus dealing with a vendor directly? Or someplace local where shipping won't be a huge headache? Any...
