    Suppressors Suppressor advice

    In the relatively short time that I've been shooting suppressed, there have been so many new companies come into the market that I can't keep up. I bought an AAC SCAR-H in 2008, didn't get the stamp for it until 2009, and then was so disappointed with variable POI every single time I'd take it...

    CZ 457

    What's with this 'seasoning' stuff? I wipe all my factory & custom 22RF bores out with a few patches of Ed's Red every time I shoot any of my rifles - whether it was only a couple of rounds to kill a rattlesnake or 100+rds after a match. Too many rifles live here to keep track of how many rounds...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    Looking forward to being able to purchase a couple of these mags! And no, I won't be at any big 22RF matches - at least, not for a month or more, until I finish fall farm work...

    Lighter weight Vudoo comp rifle?

    Several years ago, I decided that I wanted a very light Vudoo Gen 1, so I ordered a bbl'd action with their 18" Ranch bbl, and put it into a Manners EH2 stock. While doing initial shooting to zero scope & find out what ammo it liked, I found that it shot really well off the bench with a bipod &...

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    About a year ago, I was looking at rifles in the behind the counter rack at a semi-local gun shop, and found a pre-A 52 Winchester with a factory stainless bbl. I'd read about these barrels in the Houze book on the 52, but had never seen one before. A previous owner had cut the butt 1/2" shorter...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    DFH - I built my 1st V22 repeater after selling a CMP 40X that I'd had jelrod convert into a repeater, and then barreled it myself with a Benchmark. Nothing wrong with that 40X, just knew that I wasn't going to shoot it much once I got the V22 finished...and I still had another jelrod-converted...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    The 1st custom 22RF rifle I built for myself was on a Stiller 2500XR repeater action in 2016, before Vudoo came on the market. I had no issues with that action, aside from how clunky changing magazines was, due to the narrow mag chute being up inside the stock and hard to hit in a hurry compared...

    is Vudoo still doing 16.5" barrels?

    I ordered a Gen 1 V22 with an 18" Ranch contour bbl from VGW several years ago, as I already had a couple of Gen 1s with sendero & Kukri 22" bbls, but was wanting the lightest V22 rifle I could put together in a Manners EH2 stock. The ACE 18" Ranch bbl shot great - no complaints with the...

    Extremely light but hyper accurate 22lr rifle

    I know jbell has seen this rifle before, and it's more $$$ than he's currently wanting to spend, but what the heck...he once told me that he loved the looks of this rifle, so here it is again - I ordered it in with an ACE 18" Ranch bbl, because I was looking to put together the lightest V22 I...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    Years ago (2017), when the Gen 1 repeaters had been out for several months, there were some ejection issues, and my early rifle started having them after I'd put around 500rds through it. I called VGW, and Paul answered the phone. He told me that they'd done some minor re-shaping of the...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    When swapping out extractor or pusher, it's best to get a large zip loc bag or any other plastic bag large enough, and work with the bolt inside the bag. That way, if you have a plunger and/or spring fly out of the bolt nose, they're not going anywhere. Also, buy an automotive pick set (mine is...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    I recently bought my 3rd V22S single shot action to get one with the RBLP configuration. Was hoping I would be able to move the fresh Benchmark bbl that I'd recently done for the 1st V22S (RBRP) over to the new #3 action, even though I knew it was unlikely to work out that way. I was happy with...

    Remington quality

    I haven't bought a Remington M700 action for a few years, but all the RR prefix bare receivers I bought from Zanders were pretty darned good when it comes to how true they were, out of the box. On average, when set up in my action truing fixture & checked with dial & test indicators, they were...

    Help me Comprehend Silencer Advice

    My 1st silencer purchase was based on a friend's preference & my ignorance, and it didn't turn out well at all. I was so disappointed with constantly changing POI of that can that I put it in the back of the safe and more-or-less forgot about it, then bought a TBAC 30BA for use on a DTA SRS -...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Question - Coating Barrel Installed on Action

    I get what you're saying about working with a nicely finished action - I've done bbls for several Origins, all my Vudoo & Rim-X repeaters, plus several others for customers. In general, I like CK Elite E-100 blackout on bbls for these and other actions with a similar finish, as I get a good...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I bought my DTA SRS with a factory 6.5x47 bbl, and found it to be very picky where accuracy was concerned. In fact, I found one load that shot really well, and that was it. Sold that bbl and bought a couple of Bartlein blanks to replace it - one in a 6mm 1-7.8tw lighter contour that I chambered...

    Green Mountain CZ Barrel

    I had Mike Manzella do the Eachus chamber on a GM bbl several months ago, and have been very impressed with how well it shoots. I'd bought two of GM's chromemoly straight cylinder blanks for about $120ea a few years ago, and finally decided to send them both off to John at Keystone to have him...

    Red neck aac 51T mount fix????

    My first suppressor purchase was an AAC SCAR-h, and I was fortunate to find a Class III SOT who wanted it for his FN SCAR-H. Traded him straight across for a SF SOCOM762-RC, which is far from being my favorite can, but is so much better than that AAC POS that I've never regretted the trade...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs everything else for PRS rimfire.

    I'd been shooting with 6-24x50 Midas TAC scopes on a few of my Howa Mini customs, got curious about the 5-25x56 version, so got one and put it on a 223AI that is an excellent shooter. I'm getting up there in years - now 72 - but I could still easily see the difference between the Midas TAC...

    New Rimfire Project 2500x/Mullerworks/BnA

    I included one of the Athlon Ares 15-60x56 scopes in my last order from them, and was a little disappointed when it didn't come in with the rest of the order. They were out of stock a few weeks ago, but I was told it might possibly arrive by the end of this month, but more likely won't be here...
