    Alamo Precision Rifles

    APR Makes fantastic rifles. I'm an 07FFL, small potatoes as far as production. I build race ready AR's and do Cerakote work and things like that. I do some custom bolt guns as well. Before I had my lathe APR did my barreled actions, every one was a fantastic base. My favorite rifle is my 7 SAUM...

    Gunsmithing Any gunsmiths left?

    Good point on the first part, I grew up with a bunch of Wbys around, they are my dads favorites, he loves those big barrel burner cartridges. So I have had a lot of years tinkering on them. As mentioned in another reply, had it not been the turn of a screw that fixed it, story would have...

    Gunsmithing Any gunsmiths left?

    Disclaimer, I work for a very large law firm as my day job, I am intimately familiar with lawsuits, thousands and thousands of them in my life. Had I pulled the gun apart and it been something not a turn of a screw would fix I wouldn't have done it. That's my whole point, just because you look...

    Whoever did it just had no clue what they were doing. Probably just backed out every screw until the trigger felt light enough for them.

    Lilja versus bartlein barrels

    I've run both and I'd run either of them again with no hesitation. Both current rifles are running Bartlein

    Gunsmithing Any gunsmiths left?

    I have been gunsmithing for around 10 years now, It's a side business, just something I enjoy and it makes my hobby a little cheaper. I own a little shop, I do lots of Cerakote and some general repairs, I do custom builds but on pistols and AR's not long rifles as of now. Anyway, a guy called me...

    Choat Ultimate Varmint for Savage 110 sale or trade

    I have a take off Choat stock for a rifle build I finished. It’s in really good shape. Looks like it was probably a safe queen. Has a woodland looking camo sprayed on it, appears to be duracoat, does not come off easy like regular rattle can. I can Cerakote it any color for an additional charge...

    7 saum

    I've sent one from each of my 5 emails. The response I got last was that they have been getting lots of inquiries about the WSM & the SAUM, specifically the 7mm versions. So fingers crossed the 7SAUM will be one of the first when they do start manufacturing them.

    7 saum

    PTG standard 7 SAUM for my build. Loaded for mag length and can load out to .02 off of the lands with 180 ELDM’s over H1000 between 2900 and 2950 FPS, and feed from a WSM mag from accurate mag with no issues. If you want to bury in the lands you’ll need additional freebore.
