    Turbo Bearing?

    Read up on 550C--everyone says get the turbo bearing. Problem: Going to UniqueTek site, all they have is the shellplate bearing kit T1601 and all the references to the turbo (or many of them) mention its $50, not $30. What part is the turbo bearing?

    Vertical Spread

    F-Class Instruction.

    Is there a good "Intro" instructor for F-Class? I could use some specific instruction there as F-Class is more popular than PRS/NRL in my locale (And why not shoot both). Getting tips from the local gang and while not super impressive, I can get 190s at 1k but thats early morning with very...

    Why is inventory always so low in winter

    Trend I've noticed over the years, during winter EVERYTHING goes outta stock. Was looking around at building a rifle and most (not all) of the custom actions are out of stock and the big hitters for barrels as well. Any clue why this happens every winter? About 10 years ago when I was doing a...

    Handguard Importance

    How important is the handguard to overall accuracy in the AR world. I was thinking now that I can't find what I want, to just build a "small" and "large" upper--particularlly in small frame (large, I may still spring for seekins, or build of Aero Upper/lower) Is there anything to watch out for...

    Rifle Scopes Low temps and red dots

    Was out a few months ago and my Eotech and Vortex Sparc decided they did no want to turn on in the cold weather. Went to change batteries yesterday and they both had no issues at 65F. Is this a thing (I'm used to Texas where 32 is "cold" and I had these out in the teens)? Given the current...

    Since I have become "that guy" (I'm really not), a friend of my brother asked me to take a look at a Daisy 22 he bought. The bolt will not open and it appears this is a case of frozen grease (Model 2201, single shot youth rifle, yup Daisy made 22 LR!) from what I can see and my research. I've...

    CDG in LA (Tips for build needed)

    So i think I may have settled on a CDG from ARC as my "ELR" Entry gun. On reason is my plan to start with 300 PRC and then possibly switch to a 338 Style round (I see you 33XC), but if not, I've got a nice Long Action to play with. There's a lot of chatter in the original CDG thread about...

    Kelby Action (Atlas)
