    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... Sorry I haven't been on for a long time. I have had different jobs which have kept me away from home. I'll be home this week (finally). I'll try to get that video review done on this system. My thanks to Kamikaze for letting me know about the play in the stock...

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... I took the rifle to the range and zeroed but the range was only set up for 225 meters (sorry, this is Washington and there are trees everywhere). The rangemaster didn't want to set up targets at 200 meters so I had to zero at 100. The groups were tight but not...

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... Hello, everyone. Sorry about the lack of updates. Things have gotten a bit crazy in my world over the last few months. My stepfather got sick and then passed away after I finished a new grad cert in terrorism studies and I am now rushing, doubling my workload and...

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... Nope. There is a take-down pin at the rear of the assembly housing (you can notice it in the photo). Just pop that out and the stock slides off. Then just remove the bolt as normal.

    Surgeon Build From BlackOps Precision

    Re: Surgeon Build From BlackOps Precision It's looking good. I'd like to read a review of the final product and see how it does at the range.

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... The current 97S. New retention pins are on the way, the original plastic ones were giving me some trouble. Stripping can be a problem as the bolt is shorter than the standard AR-15/M16 and the weapon does not include any manner of buffer retention pin. This means...

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... Much appreciated. I talked to a LEO buddy and he said it was only illegal if permanently affixed. I have never stored the weapon as such (never shot it that way either, just a new foregrip for another project) so I believed I was in compliance. Good looking out...

    Gunsmithing Blueprinting highlights.

    Re: Blueprinting highlights. Thanks for the information, Chad. I appreciate it. I might have some work for you in the near future. I've got your contact info but it might be a month or two. Keep up the great work.

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... There is actually a lot more to it if you are going to blueprint the entire action. The bolt itself is rather easy. If I decide to have this action blueprinted I will be sending it to someone with a lot of experience. There is a good thread about it here on...

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... I'm liking it so far but won't be able to give it a full review until the bolt returns from Badger Ordnance. The shipping time was about four or five days so it showed up rather quickly. If you do end up getting one I'd like to see your build.

    TAC 21 Chassis Review...

    Re: TAC 21 Chassis Review... MDT TAC 21 BUILD: Day 8 (Part II) I finished with the Duracoat. I'll post the pictures here. Thanks for the advice Darren but I gave the parts a good rubbing down with the abrasive pad included in the kit. I've never used Duracoat before but I did an okay job...

    Noob's youtube stuff

    Re: Noob's youtube stuff You boys in Georgia always have a great time. I really enjoyed being able to walk around Savannah with a plastic cup of beer and they still let people smoke in the bars. I don't smoke, but I still thought it was cool. It's been a while since I have been in an ASV...

    Range Report Is this safe?

    Re: Is this safe? I'd say don't do it. He's really lobbing those bullets to hit that target (you can really see the drop) and it appears he'd be at little (if any) risk of actually making the distance to the road. Still, as brunop says, "weirder things have happened." All it takes is for some...

    Gunsmithing Blueprinting highlights.

    Re: Blueprinting highlights. Chad, I have the same question as maccrazy2. I am doing a Remington 700 build on the new MDT Tac 21 platform and trying to make the rifle rather precise. I will be doing an overall review of the weapon soon. The build (everything but blueprinting) will be done in...
