    Gunsmithing Advice I was given ny gunsmiths

    Greg, after thinking about it and reading all the great advice from other Hiders on this thread I have to say that you are absolutely right. I guess part of my problem is that due to some physical limitations, I have been doing more tinkering and mods than shooting. Some of the mods are...

    Gunsmithing Advice I was given ny gunsmiths

    Thanks for all of the advice guys. I agree, I think I need to concentrate on getting to the range and get some practice in before I do anything more. To this point it has kind of been an episode of "Pimp My Rifle":) I know there are a lot of smiths as well as serious shooters so as a rookie I...

    Gunsmithing Advice I was given ny gunsmiths

    Gotcha BBG. I watched an AGI video called "Super Tuning the Factory Rifle" by Darryl Holland. It was a great video and Darryl Did an awesome job. I thought having the work done to the rifle would "Super Tune" it and save me countless trips to the range. I already have a AI 2.0 Chassis...

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    My appologies right off if this question is posted in the wrong forum, I could not find a forum specific to ammo. I am looking for suggestions on some good 308 match ammo in 168 and 175 grain. I have heard good things about Black Hills, but like many other manufacturers I cannot find anyone...

    Which Muzzle Brake for my Remmy 700 SPS-AAC SD?

    Isn't that a combo flash hider/muzzle brake? I thought those were for use mostly on an AR platform?

    Which Muzzle Brake for my Remmy 700 SPS-AAC SD?

    I ended up going with the MRAD brake from RD Precision. Randy was awesome to deal with and the brake looks awesome. He knew exactly what brake that I needed for my SPS-AAC SD so the diameter is perfect. Now I just have to get some work done to the rifle and get the brake installed. Thanks...

    Gunsmithing Can I use an oversize recoil lug in an AI Chassis?

    I ended up ordering a Hollands oversized lug with pin. When I set it in the AI chassis, it fit with room to spare on the width. The length is definitely too long, and like Mike said I am going to have material removed from the bottom of the lug rather than enlarge the lug mortice on the...

    New AICS Chassis System, What Bi-Pod Should I Use?

    I just wanted to follow up on this post. I have purchased the leg extensions for the bipod because I like the idea of having the flexibility in height (especially used in conjunction with the mono-pod). I am still really impressed with the Atlas system. You can purchase SO many optional...
