Hello, like many of y’all, I got some Black Friday emails that were too good to pass up and it looks like I’ve got a couple new builds in the works. The first will be a lightweight 300wsm on an Origin with a CarbonSix 20” and a Manners EH6a stock. The second rifle is going to be a 22...

I was using my TMR reticle scope to range a garage door of a house. Now I've laser-ranged that garage door and it's right at 723 yards. But when I use the TMR reticle AND my mildot master calculator, I get a range of about 800 yards. Now I've looked on the internet and it says that most...

Just thought you guys might want some help getting the wife going. I snapped a shot of Kayla running some parts on the CNC still in her scrubs from work at the hospital. That's how you get'r done boys. Maybe I can teach her to build guns. Then we'll really be on to something. Nobody will...

I found some .338 AP Solids that are 168g. I have read where too fast a twist can rip a bullet apart. In this case, with the majority of the bullet being a brass solid, I would imagine there is no jacket to rip apart. They are designed to shoot at 3600 FPS, but they have been testing them in...

Looking for a good adjustble t handle torque wrench to use for mounting bases, rings for optics etc. Can you guys recommend a good one/

Did some shooting with a 50 at the weekend. Love the rifle but the ergonomics of firing this gun are quite poor. The std bipod I feel is far to high off the dirt to shoot well prone and the gun is very top heavy and wants to rock and roll with the basic split pin holding the bipod. What...

I just got an awesome deal on a Glock 17. I put new sights on,3.5 disconnect,ext mag and slide release and coated the slide. I shot it today for the 1st time and I hate it. The pistol is difficult to hold due to the lack on finger groves. Granted I was using dept ammo plus P so it was hot loads...

Just got it in and torqued up. Manner's T4A, GAP Bolt Stop & Pillar bedded with skim coat. I installed the Huber varmint weight two-stage trigger. Rem 700 SPS-V in .308. Off to the range this afternoon.

Warfare 1917 and, recently added Warfare 1944

Ok...can someone enlighten me on what brands of dies (other then RCBS of coarse) will work in a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme? Will Redding, Hornady,etc., work in the RCer? Thanks,Stan

hey guys, well been kickin around the idea of turning my STW into a long range rig. i have a .308 and shoot it out to 800 yrds. but want something to shoot 1000 plus with a little more stank on it without having to buy another rifle. i have a model 70 7mm STW that i use for hunting mainly...

finally found a 40x 22lr with the m700 style knob. Has anyone sent one of these off to GA or Patriot to have them trued up or the sort? I ws thinking of having my heavybarrel fluted also. its needs to be threaded anyhow. any thoughts?

Hi The way I understand it Weaver style mounts are supposed to work on Pic rails. I've tried 4 Weaver top mounts on my CZ 452 and there is no way they are going to get tight on this rail. Their see-throughs will since they are split and will pull in tight. After looking at Weaver's catalog, it...

I have been shooting sitting with a sling. When i cross my ankles I can't get the elevation high enough to bring the gun on the target. I end up with NPA well below the target array. I have slid my legs like scissors to the point I am almost ankle on ankle and still can't get it. The back of...

Anyone know if a Ciener kit or the Spike's Tactical version of this kit can be used in a gas piston .223 upper? I know the .22 is a pretty dirty round to fire. Does using one of these kits get the really nasty fouling coated into the gas tube of a direct inpingement AR? Does the Spike's...

I often find that instead of using a gun stand, it's easier to just vise the barrel for cleaning or tweaking the action. Here's a pic of my bench. http://takdriver.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44

Has anyone used the Rapid-Set Marine-Tex for stock work? It only comes in the two tube "2oz grey" package. It is a one to one mix ratio and only has a listed five minute working time and one hour curing time. I am wonderign about its strength. The standard Marine-Tex has listed...

I've been shooting a new Remington 541X, the trigger pull must be around 7-8 lbs. There is no adjustment, I've read that stoning the trigger yields very little results. Anyone have a solution to get the trigger pull closer to 2-3 lbs. I think Remington will install a new adjustable trigger...

been reloading for years but, new to precision loads. my question is this. is velocity accuracy? i have seen a wide range of max velocities for .308. will a slower bullet be more accurate at 300 yards and fall to the ground at 1000? i would like to work up 1 load that works out to 1000 with 175...

With all of the CDNN FN actions that were sold, I was wondering who everyone is using for a gunsmith?
