    Bedding Tikka in Manners EH1A?

    Just an FYI, I took a Rifle to Phoenix Custom Rifles to have a Side bolt release mounted on a Remington 700 and the work was substandard. When I called them out on it, I got the run around. They basically screwed up my Rifle beyond a point at which I could get it fixed so beware. Other PRS...

    Gunsmithing Please recommend gunsmith to bed old savage 112V rifle

    I personally would keep my Distance from Phoenix Custom Rifles in Phoenix. I have had Brad work on 1 Rifle for me and won't be going back. I have heard the same from several PRS and F-Class Shooters in the Phoenix area. The work he did was substandard at best. When I called them out on it I...

    Thanks DevilDocAZ. I really have to take my hat off to Brad at PCR and also to the GS who did the work. Brad was absolutely a pivotal part in making this happen. His Son Keith and Him both took the time to exactly explain to me how I could have done this just a little better. I must ad that...

    Gunsmithing Barrel screwed on action at an angle

    I'm looking to get some input into this situation I currently have going on. I purchased a Remington 700 AAC-SD, a used McMillan A4 and a New (previously owned but never used) Bartlein 5R 6.5mm Barrel. I asked a local Gunsmith to put it all together and specifically asked for: Action...

    5.56mm LC Brass deforming in RCBS .223 FL Steel Die

    Thanks for the input. I did reduce the amount of lube on the body of the brass and did not lube the neck at all. Just finished 100 rounds with no issues. I'm also using a Redding die now. Much better Die me thinks. Thanks Again ! ! !
