Gunsmithing Smith rant. What would you do?
Re: Smith rant. What would you do? Correct, I did not call any names. I don't do that sort of thing. I tend to tell a business owner my opinion and let my repeat business speak for me.

Gunsmithing Smith rant. What would you do?

Re: Remington 700 firing pin assy When ordering the assy, lets say from Rem. or PT&G can I specify that ground and set 24# spring.

Gunsmithing Remington 700 firing pin assy
After reading of this engineering blunder I'm planning to replace my j-lock firing pin assy with a new assy. I've looked at Midway,Brownells,and Pacific Tool and Gage at their assemblies. Does an aluminum pin have any advantage over a steel one other than a couple ounces of weight? Also is any...- jd3006

5R Pic Thread
Re: 5R Pic Thread New member but longtime lurker here. Also a newbe to long range shooting. The 5R looks like the one for me but the palmswell on the stock does not fit me at all. I can't get a grip at all. I really like the lines and looks of the stock but can't stand that grip area. Is...- jd3006
