Can anyone confirm if the adjustable cant/elevation buttpads will work on an A1/A2 stock? I have an Obermeyer & Bill Wylde dream team barrel that I'm itching to turn into something.
He's also (in my opinion, I don't know him personally but I have seen his correspondence with people) a person who I (again, just me) wouldn't give any of my business to. It's a blatant ripoff of Ron Allen's design, he's trashed Ron in the past after being called out for insinuating that these...
Allen Engineering AEM5 or Gordon M4 sound amazing without adding too much length to the end of your barrel due to the reflex design. Dated design? Yes. Amazing performance? Also yes.
Thanks for the ideas! Yea, I'm fairly certain that when it's all said and done it will cost more than I wanted it to, and likely will not give me anything that I couldn't have done for cheaper (and likely more efficiently). It's the irrational sentimental value that I'm really after here. I want...
@rbutcher1234 was one of the main reasons I got mine. I was waffling whether or not to, then I was peer pressured into my favorite can. I then got a Gordon M4 from Ron Allen which is still currently homeless until I can figure out something that I like it on. Nothing that it works with is...
In my experience, the barrel choice followed by proper installation/fitting of the rail (rail section hardware contacting the barrel in a lot of instances) is the sticking point with most bad experiences. I've only done a Mod 1 with KAC FF RAS, Mod H with KAC URX4, and NSW Recce with KAC FF...
First question you'll probably ask is "why", and you'd likely not be far off the mark, but here goes:
If one was so inclined to have a shop machine a custom bottom metal for AI mags for a Remington 600, how would one go about designing or giving proper instructions for such a thing? This was my...
I don't have (within reason) any qualms with a heavy rifle. The barrel I just pulled from it was a super heavy profile .308. If I was in a hurry to get it back together today, I wouldn't have any heartache about continuing to use that barrel. If weight is the main problem, I can absolutely live...
Is there a compelling reason why someone wouldn't build a 22CM gasser over a bolt gun? I have a Remington 600 in 243 and a large frame AR that I've got in pieces that needs to be put together. To get my foot in the door, seems to me like the gasser would be the fastest way to get up and running...
Does anyone have a lead on factory BH 77gr TMK? I - uh - burned through my stash faster than I could resupply. Got hooked on the stuff and told myself I could quit whenever I wanted to, it wasn't hurting anyone and it wasn't *really* a problem. Now my life is in shambles and I've even considered...
"Shoe life" I believe is a double edged sword. By mfg specs and peak performance standards to their tech? Sure, I can imagine the wide range of numbers stated above is partially correct. To the end user, however, I think the actual lifetime of the shoe is far beyond that. When I got serious...
I shouldn't have read through this thread. I've been waffling between converting my old 243 to 22 Creedmoor, but always decided that I didn't want to add another caliber to feed. Then I realized my .243 is my only .243 so it really was a 1:1 trade. Then I also realized I have a suppressor that's...
Whether or not the new players to the game are efficient is not what excites me. Well it does, but the bigger message here is the fact that companies are at least exploring the heavier, game-oriented projectiles.
That's a good point! I've been tempted to build a 22CM, but the thought of adding a new caliber to my existing lineup sounds daunting. I could appease them with 300WM for a bull (although more tempting to use my 7mmRM to bring the hunt full circle of a generation and 40-some-odd year span at the...
@PNWGATOR I'm contemplating a Nilgai hunt on South Texas next year. I WANT to believe, but what says the hive mind? This is given they allow it with a 300WM minimum stipulation, but they allowed my parents to use a 7mmRM back in the 80s with two bulls on the ground for their efforts. Their...
