Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
Thanks. I never could figure out how to put the pic on my posts. I have two other beautiful guns and the target for this GAP build. I am going to add the build sheet for the GAP.
GA Precision Rifle Build, Like Your “CRUSADER”
Ken, this is my build sheet check list.
Gear I am sending to you;
1. Obermeyer AMU Plus barrel, Stainless Steel, 5R, 1:11 twist. Barrel is 25 inches long unfinished. I want the barrel length to be 23 overall (22 inches from the recoil lug) same as Crusader.
2. (AICS) Stage 1.5, fixed stock, green.
3. Atlas Bipod and an Accu-Shot Monopod.
4. Leupold MK4, M1 fixed 16X Mil Dot scope and rings.
5. Pelican rifle case.
Everything else will come from or be performed by GA Precision;
1. GAP to do all the barrel work, thread and chamber barrel for .308, cut to final length of 22 inches from the recoil lug, recess / cut the crown, mount to templar action. I shoot federal 168 gr. and 175 gr. M118LR military sniper issued ammunition.
2. “Templar” short action, for right hand shooter. Also a 20 MOA rail attached with 8-40 screws.
3. Precision ground over sized recoil lug double pinned to receiver.
4. The best (GAP recommended) Trigger. Set the trigger pull weight as you see fit for this gun. Light is good.
6. GA Precision to bed the Templar barreled action into the aluminum block inside the AICS. “You guys have this down to a science”, so do what you do best.
7. GA Precision to paint the AICS skins, stock and all metal parts that can be painted on the rifle with your matte Cerakote, mil spec O.D. The paint scheme is the camouflage pattern on the Crusader.
8. If you could, please replace the foam in the pelican case so the rifle has a custom fit. I would like it to look like it was made for it, if possible.

This target was my shoot and clean range trip. I got tired of it quickly and just put 17 rounds in this target just to see how it was shooting.

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
Once they had all my parts I want to say it was around 3-4 months, and I told them to take all the time in the world. You can't rush perfection.

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
Great gun, Rommel. Now you'll have to bring it to our rifle matches at the 29Palms rifle range. I'd love to see it in action. First Sat of every month we have a fun match. PM me if you need any more info.

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
Rommel,
Can you post pics of the case with the foam cut out?
Nice build. It looks like a hammer.

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
I asked on my build sheet to have the foam replaced but they could not get it. I packed all the parts into the pelican case with every little piece of foam I could find. It was not a good looking job but it worked. Sorry. The rifle has never been back in the hard case. I use a soft case to go to and from the range.

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
That's a beautiful rig, you will have many years of enjoyment out of that one. Those dang GAP builds give pure pleasure in both the looking and the shooting. Now the problem is you will have no (valid) excuses for bad shooting
. And if you ever get tired of it, there will always be a line of folks willing to help you out...

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
If you love this build you should check out my other post down a few from this one. Labled New GAP, IBA & Micksters old rifle. If you love my GAP creation you will love these other two as well. They all shoot better than I can.

Re: MY FIRST GAP HAS ARRIVED
Beautiful looking build. Almost looks too nice to take out, you might scratch it.

Thanks Mike. I don't own any safe queens. As long as she still shoots like a laser I don't care.
