https://badlandstactical.org/events/ar-armorer/ Badland’s AR Armorer class was their first class I ever pondered the value. What little complex AR work I need gets farmed out to an individual that does great work. In the past I always leave Badlands overwhelmed thinking what have I done to...

A moment ago#1 This past weekend I RO’d the PRS match in Ramona OK. It was my first precision rifle match and I was definitely GREEN. Fortunately one of the RO’s on my stage had experience RO’ing pistol matches. Most of the shooters were helpful early on and we ended up with a good system. Only...

Pacific Tool Howa DBM for AICS mags. The CDI DBM requires machining the lower feed ramp. PTG moved the magazine aft requiring the internal box mag stop(tab) to be removed and likely the bolt stop shortened. Required a little fitting likely due to me bedding the factory bottom metal. Needs...

Any of you rifle masters experience slop between the barrel and trued action threads? Barrel threads cut after action trued. I noticed how perfect the fit is with my BAT, no noticeable slop past first few threads. With the trued action it never really tightens up.

Anybody have case dimensions for the 338 Norma? Specifically head to shoulder height. I can't get anything outta Norma yet. Also have both PTG prints but can't tell which dimensions to compare for sure. I want to rechamber and was told the Winmag shoulder is a little taller and requires...

Last several years I've spent more time pistol training and really neglected the rifle. So two weeks ago I attended Phase 1 Rifle @ Badlands Tactical with a shorty Howa 308. It's lighter than most rifles thru the course. Overall I'm happy with setup. Only real trouble was the Ken Farrell...

5 weeks ago I sent a Manners T3 to Mr. Ducos(stockdoc) for installation of the Terry Cross KLM Loggerhead cheekrest hardware. Here are a few photos next to a TA. Over all I'm VERY happy with the installation quality and the KLM hardware is just outstanding. Weight is more than the Manners TA...
