    savage switch barrel

    Bingo. It was either the SAUMs or WSMs that were large shank, but I can't remember which. Small shanks are significantly easier to get takeoff and prefit barrels for. You can fit a (specific model CDI) Savage short action DBM on a long action, but you can't fit a long action DBM on a short...

    Enlisting in the military???

    I don't see the parallel between enlisting in the military and joining oathkeepers. Oathkeepers is not a paying job. Oathkeepers will not teach me a trade. I can't retire from Oathkeepers. I can't get educational benefits or health benefits. What's the point of your post? Guys like you are...

    Enlisting in the military???

    I'm a 29 year old E-7 and for my past three units have been the youngest senior guy there. I currently have a 38 year old E-5 working for me and a couple other E-6s in their early to mid 30s. Until those guys got to know and trust me, working for someone years younger than them was a hard pill...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed Carry: What is your setup?

    Whatever works. It's not supposed to be confortable, its supposed to be comforting. Or something like that.

    A real budget R700 build

    wrap a deepwell socket or large wooden dowell in sandpaper and you can open up the barrel channel to whatever size you need for a heavier barrel to fit.

    Member Link Up South Carolina

    Any of you guys around Charleston/Columbia down for going in on a powder order to split the HAZMAT and shipping? My return to the states is set for early July, and I haven't bought powder in almost 2 years. I'd plan to actually order roughly June 20 and then can meet up with you or whatever...

    Barrel or Stock??

    if you start with the barrel, you can use a deepwell socket wrapped in sandpaper to open the barrel channel of the stock up.

    Crimped 308 primers

    When I first started reloading I took a large diameter drill bit in a press at work, wrapped it with electrical tape to get a good snug fit on the Lee chamfer tool and would leave the bit on while I chamfered the crimp off. I must've done a couple thousand pieces of our range 556 brass that way...

    Why doesn't military use heavier bullets in 5.56 AR style rifles ?

    Bingo. There's a reason the short range benchrest like the light bullets with very slow twist rates.

    stupid question about putting together 223ai

    Are you saying that you are going to attempt to form 223AI brass in the stock 223 barrel? If so, you are just going to end up with fireformed 223 brass. You can't fireform AI brass in a regular chamber. Your best bet is to wait for the barrel to come in and form the AI brass in the actual...
