Just wanted to show off my 3d Printed Bag Plate since I'm unreasonably proud of it. I'm new to 3d printing and modeling and this is one of my first projects I've made for the hobby. I based my design heavily off of existing STL's on Thingiverse that I was able to find. I used Armageddon Gear's...

Hi, I know little about reloading but I noticed this DIY primer kit and I can't find much feedback on it good or bad. Logically I'd think it must not be good enough or else it would be a lot more popular during this primer shortage (especially large rifle primers). But thought it'd be worth it...

Been using the site for a while for ideas, figure I should put a post up! I will start off by acknowledging that, YES you can buy, spend less time, and perhaps less money on such efforts! But my ADHD and high functioning PTSD will not allow such madness to sit idle 🤣. So this is the second...

I preferred the round thumbscrew from my first PRS bipod even though it was on a shitty Amazon/Chinese arca clamp (on RRS Harris adapter). The ckye pod's triangular thumbscrew was just too "course" and required putting my whole hand into it versus just rolling it with my fingers. I found a...

I was looking at a lot of tac tables and camera "cheese plates" for mounting on my tripod, and was amazed at how much was being charged for something with no moving parts and very little construction. I don't mind paying for good gear, but there's times where you just have to scratch your head...

I saw some safe chamber indicators that inserted just like magazines. I was too cheap to purchase one from Flagazine or another company and so I modeled and printed my own. Anyone is welcome to the model files to tweak them, or just take the .stl files to print yourself. SolidWorks, .STEP, and...

Hey everyone, I am interested in developing 3D printed takedown chassis for bolt action rifles, and I was thinking to start with a simple Cricket .22. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can acquire a used / broken Crickett or similar .22LR rifle for cheap? I can get one new for $99 but I...

Since we’re all still supposed to be inside here is a simple DIY mod for the magnetospeed sporter I did awhile ago. The idea here is to add a 3/8” threaded nut to the inside of the bayonet which allows it to be mounted free from the barrel in a variety of ways. The best part is this won’t...

Since we are all hunkered down for Covid 19 I figured I would put together a little DIY for making your own heavy butt-pad spacer from an old break rotor. Tools: Angle grinder c-clamps...

I was thinking about building a 6.5 roberts rifle for my fiance. Ive been looking for actions but i do own a sporterized arisaka t99. I was wondering if i could rebarrel it in 6.5 roverts since i cant find 7.7jap

I recently found some barreled 1916 Spanish Mauser actions with striped bolts and some extra parts each for sale. I was wondering if 5 for $69.95, plus $22.50 shipping, and $25each transfer is worth it. Im look to possibly build one into a .257 roberts for my fiance and im not sure about the...

I have been lurking for a little while and have decided to reach out for some advice. I have a desire to build a long-range rifle for hunting and paper/steel. I will primarily shoot at the range out to 600 yards or so. Hunting will range from deer sized game to varmints. I do not need advice on...

First of all I am not being paid or compensated at all for talking about this Moly-Resin, just a great product I wish I had found out about sooner. I've been looking at cerakoting some guns for a while now but couldn't get over the price. For a nice 3 color pattern camo I would spend nearly as...

First I would like to thank everyone who participates on this site as I've used a lot of the info here for both work on this rifle and my process of getting into long range shooting. I've lurked for a while here and now am hoping I can contribute. This is my 700 5r 20" which now resides in a...

I was looking for various DIY mirage shield materials for an upcoming FTR match and nearly decided to buy one... However, I found that Vinyl Drywall Bull-nose molding has a great profile for a mirage shield. Can readily be found at Lowes and HomeDepot for $2-$4 per 10' length. I found it on...

Hi all I've been lurking for a while and thought I would jump into the fray with pics of the reloading bench I built yesterday. I used Simpson Strong Tie brackets. My requirements were: - workable height for standing or sitting on barstool -- 36" - Super sturdy construction as the bench...

I hope that this is in the right section! I have a case similar to a pelican case that has 2 layers of flat foam in it. I was wondering what the ideal way to cut the foam to the shape of the rifle would be? Should I just give it a whirl with the exacto knife or what?

Finally found a DIY Camo Dip Kit in Multicam - Camo Dip Kit - Do It Yourself Water Transfer Camo Dip Kit

I'm thinking about making my own drag bag. My rifle dimensions are 43" x 10". I was wondering what kind of fabric to use, what kind of pouches and pockets, water bladder, ect. any ideas would help thanks!

I'm sorting out my bedding process for my build. I plan on using Devcon steel putty. I have a FN SPR action with the factory detachable magazine and a McM A3 adjustable stock with machined in pillars. I've read the 6mbrr bedding topic and the long post in here. Both are installing pillars at...
