    Gunsmithing stainless barrel in cold weather...

    Re: stainless barrel in cold weather... There are facts and then there are ancedotes. For example - Fact: 416R stainless steel is more brittle than 4140 or 4150 CM steel and will be much more prone to fail in a lightweight barrel firing a very high pressure cartridge at ambient temperatures...

    Re: Youngs bolt & carrier with Vltor upper Sounds like it's short-stroking. Your Youngs bolt carrier isn't one of those lightweight versions, is it?

    Question about Jewell triggers in AICS

    Re: Question about Jewell triggers in AICS I had to modify my AICS 1.5 LA to accept a Jewell trigger, but that was over two years ago. I understand that AI has since changed the safety mortise on the AICS to accept the Jewell trigger, so I guess the answer is yes and no depending on how old...

    Gunsmithing New ar15 short stroking

    Re: New ar15 short stroking Make absolutely sure that your gas tube is properly aligned so that the gas key on the bolt carrier is not dragging on it. Also, some shooters lube the buffer spring in an attempt to quiet the "sproing" noise. Too much grease on this spring will also cause...

    Thougths on LRB M25 reciver

    Re: Thougths on LRB M25 reciver If a guy is going to build a scoped M14-style rifle from scratch the LRB M25 is really the only way to go. It does away with all of the previous scope mounting problems that were pretty much inherent in the standard receiver no matter who built it. If you're...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly

    Re: Ring Height Questions Great info here. Thanks especially to Glen. These are excellent guidelines for use with the more or less "conventional" style of gunstocks, however more and more shooters are using either AR-style platforms and/or Accuracy International rifles or the AICS chassis...

    Gunsmithing AICS recoil lug slot; why can't I go deeper?

    Re: AICS recoil lug slot; why can't I go deeper? If you're gonna have the lug mortise milled in an AICS follow the advice given by Accuracy International. But one question comes to mind. If you're using a Stiller TAC action why are you going to an oversize recoil lug anyway? The recoil lug...

    A-3 opinions

    Re: A-3 opinions My 6.5x47 build is on an A3. I really like the stock, but it has its limitations for some types of hunting. You certainly can find a lighter and more compact stock for a hunting rifle if you're planning on humping it for long distances or in the mountains, but otherwise...
