    Gunsmithing Factory bedding on '70s Remington 700 ADL?

    I found a 1971 Remington ADL .308 at the local gun shop today and I bought it. I took the action out of the stock as I was investigating the extent of some surface rust. When it came out I was pleased to find the rust was minimal, and I found that the lug has been bedded to the factory walnut...

    The wife's rifle?

    So, I'm interested in gathering some ideas for a new rifle build for the wife. I'd love to see some pictures to get the brain juices flowing... This is going to be a short action bolt gun for precision range shooting and competition. Maximum range of +/- 1000 yards, but more realistically...

    CFE 223 in the .308

    Anyone using CFE 223 to load in the .308? I think I'm going to try a few, as I have CFE, and I do not have Varget. Can anyone recommend a good source for info on loading .308 with CFE 223 and 155gr. to 175gr. projectiles? I haven't got any CFE 223 lists in my reloading manuals, although they...

    Lee Challenger or RCBS Rockchucker kit?

    Old walnut M-14 / M1a government stocks

    I have a new SA M1a NM and I want to get a cool old wood stock for it. I have a nice WW2 Garand, and would love to have an old issued stock (with the P stamp and DoD like my Garand) to add to the M1a. Is there a good source for these? An internet search revealed Fred's. Is this the place...

    Gunsmithing Limited to "stock" on hand?

    What if you could only use the parts supplied by the manufacturer; how good a gun could you build? This may be a dumb question, but how good could a gun get if you had to use only the parts provided by the original manufacturer. I.E. barrel, action, trigger group, stock, etc. you could...

    Savage MK II TR AICS

    I've been watching the hide for a while but this will be my first legit posting. I acquired a Savage TR not too long ago, and with the inspiration of Black Whiskey's Marlin 880 in an airsoft AICS, I thought I would try my hand at putting my TR in one of these stocks. After looking around, I...
