I’ve read a bit that different types of stocks need a different type of material to reshape them. I want to reshape a Choate stock and wondering what kind of material to use. Any input on what I need to use and if there’s a difference for large areas vs smaller areas? thanks in advance

Anybody happens to have one of these that they're looking to get rid of, I've got an idea for one. Could work well, could be terrible, I guess I won't know till I try it.

I'm part way through redoing my dads rifle to something a little more fun. It's a Montana 99 long action in .300 WIN Mag and trying to find a stock or a chassis setup for it. I know it's basically a winchester footprint with one or two minor inletting differences. I've managed to find detachable...

Initially chalked the recoil feel up to the lighter stock. Then this happened. After using the table to knock it loose I noticed it wasn’t the only bad one. I emailed hornaday to see if maybe there’s a bad lot out there, so hopefully when they’re open again we’ll see.

Couple months ago I bought a barreled action, Montana 99, chambered in 300Win. The story I got is he had it barreled, started bedding a stock and passed away. It's not a good job of bedding but it's fixable with a lot of sanding and refinishing the stock. There's no finish on the action or the...

I have this really nice looking camo laminate stock I bought years ago and never got time to inlet and get it bedded till recently. It's been through a couple moves and been packed away for years, I broke it out today and it's got a chip in the wood below the barrel channel on the right side and...

I decided I wanted a nice semi setup so I started putting a rifle together, I've gotten this far And I'm stuck on the scopes. I've looked at Trijicon, Leupold Mark4 and VX patrols and vortex. I want something that'll fit on the med rings, I've never liked really high scopes so that means no...

I've got an extra barreled action and I decided I'm gonna go copy the USR, anybody have any ideas where I can find the HS parts?

Got an old rifle that I came into that I'd like to turn into a little shooter. Got it all together and took it to the range for a test fire day. At first I was pretty happy, managed to walk the scope over and all was good till I got it around where I wanted and started putting more ammo through...

I see so many people going with stuff that just doesn't look like a normal gun to me that I figure there must be a reason. So I'm thinking of giving it a shot. Right now I'm using a McMillen A4, and aside from the gun being heavy I'm wondering if there's a reason everybody seems to be going with...

My dad's got a remington 600Mohawk that he bought and has been using as long as I've been alive. Stopped extracting shells so I ordered and put in a new extractor. Never did it before, didn't seem too hard. Overall process was a breeze putting in, or so I thought. Now the bolt is very hard to...

I'm looking at ordering a new stock for this gun because it's got some cracks in it. Wanted ot make sure it's just the average run of the mill mauser and nothing special I need to know about to order. I don't have much experience with these kinda guns so I could be wrong and didn't want ot make...

When I built this gun detachable mags weren't all that big. I went with the DD Ross bottom metal because at the time that's what the Marine Corps used, I was fresh out of the Corps and leaning toward their way still. Since then I've cut the barrel to 20" and and threaded it, now i'm looking...

I recently picked up a Mauser actioned 7mm Magnum at a very good deal. There's a couple minor problems with the wood on the gun though. First is purely cosmetic, the grip cap has a big knick in it that I think I can fix or replace. Second I noticed when I took the metal out of the gun. There's...

I'm 33 and my entire life I've grown up with Leupold scopes being the go to kind of thing. Years ago I got into the long range stuff and started buying the Mark 4s. Right now i have a brand new custom job 700action with a USMC contract barrel on it sitting in a nice McMillen waiting on a scope...

I have a custom built Remy 700 currently sitting in a McMillen stock that was recently chopped down to a 20 inch gun and I'm looking to sort of update it. I want the stock that Remington uses on the 700USR. as best as I can figure out it appears to be the HS Precision PST007 in black...

My local shop has one in stock, price tag is $145, seems like a good buy for a little .22LR. Stock has some scratches/nicks in it, but I've never heard of it. Anybody have experience with one of these?

Been doing some reading, figured I'd say hello. Just in case the SN didn't give it away, I'm Brad. I'm a prison guard from PA. Few years USMC, PA gunsmith school graduate, overall just like to shoot. Signed up here as the forum I've been on before seems to be on a steady decline. Never heard of...
