    Awsome Bolt Work

    I just received my bolt back after sending it to Paul at Pro Precision Rifles. I have to say that I couldn't be happier with the results. His workmanship is awesome. If you are interested in having a bolt knob installed or just having your bolt flutted, you need to give him a call. After...

    Does anyone what the difference is between Large Rifle primers and Large Pistol primers. They are the same size so what is the difference between them? Are they interchangeable? It seems like every time I go to load .45 rounds I am out of the pistol primers. Thanks, Rob

    What does it mean to "time" a muzzle brake?

    Maybe I am missing the point on this one, but, what does it mean to time a muzzle brake. I am asking because I see there are a lot of removable brakes for sale on the market. However, when you go to install a m/b the machine shop charges you to time the brake. I was wondering what exactly...

    I am wondering if it is even worth doing on a .308. That kick is so little already that I just wanted to get others opinions on the matter. Is it worth the extra $200 bucks to do it? Thanks in advance, Rob
