Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Thanks, is there really a lighter route? I would think with a strap wrench you could get it plenty tight. And bring the wrench to the range so if you aren't getting the groups you expected, add another 16th of a turn at a time. Maybe some blue locktite would make sense if it's not going to be... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
-Looking forward to some accuracy/reliability reports on those wolfpups! - is there any reason why a UL handgaurd can't be made by simply gluing (epoxy) a piece of carbon tube to a jag or smoke composits barrel nut? Drill or cut (?) Some holes in the tube for extra weight loss? I haven't... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Really looking forward to this recipe since the suppressor makes the muzzle end so lopsided! I don't want to mess with a good faxon barrel, but still very tempting to get the extra weight around the gas port milled off that end of the gun... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Thanks for the gru bee lead, I take it that it's a decent scope? I'm not very picky with optics as long as they are light and accurate. I'd love to take that 4x28 loopy off your hands if you're tired of it. I'll probably just run my extra 9oz 3x9 UL if I can't pick up something for $200 or... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Many thanks, I could agree more! I went too far on my kimber, so I bought another stock to lengthen the forend. I would have just used carbon arrow shafts, but I decided the holes I drilled that exposed the mag (which has holes drilled in it also) might be a problems in the precip, and even... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Cool, hopefully someone that's cash strapped pops up, can't beat that deal! -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
I forget, did you get that bolt cycling decently? I bought 2 lowers, so if a needy soul doesn't appear eventually I'd take it and build it up for my nephew. He's fresh out of the army and is talking about hauling around his M1 garrand for elk! You're keeping your stock right? -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Any input on how long of a handgaurd we need for a good rest on packs, rocks, branches and our hands up against a tree? I'm dreaming of having all the parts to fully assemble this thing in one shot, however unlikely -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
There's a thread somewhere on here that had 2 guys that were in-the-know say that the rimfires go through the exact same testing, and at least 2 dudes said they had them on hi power rifles no problem. So, I think we're safe. Only trouble is it looks like the new 4x rimfires are only available... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Thanks for the updates! Any input on whether or not I need the extended Aero scope mount or not for the 4x rimfire or ultralight 3x9 leupold scopes (7.5 & 9oz FYI)? They are really compact FWIW. I'm kind of a stretched out giraffe of a dude with a long LOP. I don't have an AR to measure... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Phew, that's a good question! Gman Said he would report back, and Robtatoo built a nice stock somewhere in the archives -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
I'm right there with you on figuring out this puzzle. I might have lucked out, as I ordered my solo yesterday or the day before, I sure hope it was in fact in stock, because I don't have any other toys to build at the moment! I'm hoping to save a ton on homemade stock and handgaurd, but that... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Many thanks! I'll check out that trigger, but still pretty heavy for precision on such a light rifle. I really like the precision reports and barrel treatments on the Faxon, and I ordered it right before I got far enough into this thread to know that there were no port options, sadly. But, I... -
Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Thanks for all of the great information in this thread! Now I MUST build a rig lighter than my kimber rifle! Only took me 3 days to read and comprehend most of this thread, as I don't know much about AR's. Anyhow, I'm new to AR's, so please help me with a few questions. -large or small pin... -
AR triggers
Oh, I'd like to stay under $100, and it will never see more than 100 rounds a year. The tikka 223 is the trainer... And what about those flat triggers?! Seems like a great idea to have that index point, but then I wonder if the extra leverage would make a 2lb too light? -
AR triggers
What do you all advise for neutered AR that is no longer semi auto, and I've always been a bolt/lever gun single stage shooter? This will be a 425 yard max deer/black bear gun, and I also want it like my bolt rifles at about 2lbs. Thanks for any advice -
Kimber Producing New Rifles?
If you want it light you want Talley mount and old no longer made leupold scopes. I really like the 3x9 ultralight, and they can be found if you are patient and look often at ebay and gun shops. If you don't shoot beyond about 300 yards you might even consider the 2.5x20 ultralight which I... -
Kimber Producing New Rifles?
I'd like to know where they shaved weight if there are no flutes!? Might not look amazing, but better than the original clear coating that stained up from burnt logs/carbon. Now you just need a cleaned out hunter stock to drop half a pound or more if you want it significantly lighter. -
So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.
Yeah, ti screws please! On another subject. I was hoping to get some opinions on chopping my 18" 22 creed barrel to 16.5". I'm probably going to send it off to LRI for a few ounces more shaved off the barrel, and I could probably deal with the 1" of additional drop at 500 yards. I run... -
223 powders for reduced loads?
Thanks, I ended up changing to 223 for practice only, but I appreciate it!
