    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 What is the best wood putty and stain for a wood stock?

    I posted the same question on Calguns and one of the members sent me this link on stock repair: http://www.longislandfirearms.com/forum/topic/10718-rifle-stock-repair-lots-of-pics/ The guys used a product called PC Woody Epoxy and the repair turned out pretty nice. He said that he used a...

    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...

    I am glad that you posted this. I also have a 308 that I have been trying to get some work done on. Many of the smiths that I have left messages for or emailed didn't reply. Thanks for the post and I look forward to seeing what other smiths are recommended. Ken

    Re: New AICS Chassis System, What Bi-Pod Should I Use? I got my Atlas bidod today and I must say that I am impressed. I have two Harris bipods and like them, but you guys were right, the Atlas is awesome. I really like the quick adjustments that you can make on it, and it is really solid...
