    Why 1:12 for USMC but 1:10 for Suppressor?

    Re: Why 1:12 for USMC but 1:10 for Suppressor? I guess the corps and the FBI arent too worried about running subsonic ammo.

    Why 1:12 for USMC but 1:10 for Suppressor?

    I tried searching for this but came up short. The general advice found here at the hide is that for a 308 the 1:10 is superior for shooting suppressed or heavier rounds for stabilization. I'm not doubting but if its superior why does the USMC run a 1:12 twist rate on the M40A5, or GAP use a...

    Gunsmithing Advice on build?

    So at first I was dead set on doing an M40A5 build for a nice field rifle, not necessarily a complete clone, but close to it. However after doing some research and talking with some folks, looking at cost, weight, accuracy etc. I'm now debating between the following. M40A5 - changes being a...

    Gunsmithing Going rate for USMC M40 contract Schneider Barrel

    Re: Going rate for USMC M40 contract Schnieder Barrel How would the profile of the USMC barrels compare to a #9 profile? Essentially I just want to make sure that a S&B 5-25X56mm will fit the Badger USMC 1" Rings on a 20-30 MOA base. Any experience or advice here?

    Gunsmithing Threading for Surefire 762SSAL/RE

    Re: Threading for Surefire 762SSAL/RE Yeah I'm by no means an expert, but I would assume that the smith was familiar with timed brakes...which is kinda weird. you can take it back to him and have him remove threads until the timing is right, then apply the correct crowning. Which I think is...

    Gunsmithing how much $ to mount and headspace

    Re: how much $ to mount and headspace I would be leary of any smith who refuses to quote a price to headspace a rifle. A quote is just that. Its like going to a mechanic, if the mechanic discovers a problem with your car in addition to the original work, they call and ask what you want to do.

    Rifle Scopes Badger 34mm USMC rings vs Larue LT120

    So I'm currently in the process of building a non-spec M40A5 field rifle. Its close to spec, but I've made a few tweaks, and now I'm considering another. I like the idea of the badger rings because of the 6 torx screws to hold the tube, but I recently watched "Art of the Precision Rifle" and...

    Gunsmithing DD Ross Quality 2012?

    I just talked to Dan Ross about ordering a recoil lug and he offered to help build my rifle. At first I was excited due to his work with the USMC, but then I read about some bad experiences folks here have had in the past. Anyone got any leads on his quality now days?

    Gunsmithing Where to acquire a custom Remington 700 bolt?

    I did a search and couldnt find an answer. Does anyone know where I can find a new bolt assembly for my Remington 700 SA (308)? I can order one from Remington parts but they are $135 before shipping. Does anyone else make them? Thanks for the help.
