    What color do I need to cerakote my action?

    Re: What color do I need to cerakote my action? You should do it "red" you know, so it makes you look like a go-fast, at the sharp end, tactical, operator. 8) More seriously, where do you live? What is the foliage you hunt in? What blends? There is your answer.

    Meloniting barrel/throat erosion thread

    Re: Meloniting barrel/throat erosion thread If you look at doing this to your action along with your barrel, be careful that you check with your action manufacturer for the impact on warranty. Surgeon, for example, shared an explicit no-go when I was going to do this on my RSR, because of...

    Gunsmithing Latest. . .

    Re: Latest. . . I really like this look. I wonder if there might not be the opportunity to add some gray or darker brown and spray in off of a prairie type vegetation. I just finished putting together my own camo pattern for out here in the high plains, but damn if I don't almost like this...

    slick up the bolt on my remington?

    Re: slick up the bolt on my remington? Or for the money you would lose trying to sell your bought-new, sold used Remington and then turn around and buy a new Tikka... you could have your action trued which would pay dividends beyond potentially reducing the character of your bolt throw.

    contours between rem varmint and amu/m40

    Re: contours between rem varmint and amu/m40 Also, my google-fu turned up a barrel weight calculator that I thought was pretty damned nifty! http://www.border-barrels.com/barrel_weight_S2.htm By the way, if you are using a target taper, set the initial barrel (B) to a hundreth over the...

    Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review

    Re: Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review Understood, and there is a lot of truth in what you say. We all have our own uses and perspectives that drive the idea of 'value'. Great review, and well produced video, thanks for investing the time to share this stuff with us and on your site.

    Southwest Ammo

    Re: Southwest Ammo This smells like failure to plan rather than vendor failure to me.

    Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review

    Re: Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review Nice review. Interested in the cadex strike 30 but lets face it, the cost of the platform is pretty damn high. One thing I would be interested in from the review: is the premium worth it? Do you really see someone getting value out of the...

    Gunsmithing Building on.the XLR Evolution

    Seeking experience with the XLR Evolution as the XLR industries website has limits on the information available. Does the all aluminum construction heat up uncomfortably in hot weather? Has anyone had cause to question the softer but less expensive construction out of 6065-t6...

    GA Precision

    Re: GA Precision Actually I think the question really is broader than that. Why so many rifles for sale right now? Look down the list. Surgeon, GAP, name a top tier maker and you can likely find one. Even Tac Ops, and those sales have historically been so rare as to border on the mythical...

    Mission Prior Art: Monolithic Rail Prior to 2002

    In the wake of the LMT patent on monolithic rail/recievers, one possible way to quickly fight this is for a manufacturer of another platform with this or a similar feature to submit 'prior art' that proves it existed before LMT "invented" it. It turns out that there are actually a number of...
