    Schmidt & Bender PMII Throw Lever Suggestions

    I would be surprised if MK Machining would not make you one. I know he has a shop full of 3D Printing machines in various materials.

    Compass lake engineering back?

    Where did you hear this? I know they have limited their production to larger wholesale orders. They currently do our Mk12 Douglas barrels, and I know they do the same for another firm. We ship barrel blanks to CLE, and they profile, chamber and finish in bulk. No one-off special orders...

    Best Online Suppressor Shops? Capitol Armory, Silencer Shop, Central etc.

    We are happy to help, and carry a wide variety of suppressors. It is hard for us to compete with door to door service that some provide, so we would ship to your local SOT / FFL. We have some 'Hide discounts on certain items, not on others. For rimfire, the price and margin is already pretty...

    Suppressors Allen Engineering

    Chances are your barrel is not correctly profile for SPR. We have tested a number of barrels, and most that are commercially available do not pass the test to mount an AEM5 suppressor. This is due to the barrel manufacturers using an incorrect profile diagram, and their mistake dates back to...

    Rosco barrel accuracy expectations/problems

    I think you are expecting too much from a Rosco. Actual experience varies, but they make a rock solid infantry grade 2 MOA barrel. Colt uses a lot of Rosco's with Chrome Lining, and they are fantastic at what they do, but it is not a match barrel. Yes, moving to a heavier bullet can help...

    Stiller vs Surgeon

    I would agree with you. I have a soft spot for Stiller, and never regretted an Stiller action, but that might be my sniper rifle bias. Surgeon I really do not have experience, but they are part of the same company as McMillan, and, well, they make some awesome military grade actions. Our...

    Mk 13 Mod 7

    Working with Chris Higgins at Red Bull Armory, we have been able to recreate the original Mk13 Mod7 rifles. Just a few. I am really psyched, and like a lot of our really cool military rifles, I am excited to keep one for me. :cool:. These are in deployment kits, with the original foam, and...

    M40A3 T&E Rifles

    The A3 recoil lugs were from DD Ross. When the USMC moved to an external magazine, they used Badger lower metal and Badger lugs, both should be 4140 Chrome Moly Carbon Steel.

    looking for a retired 2112 for M40 work

    I am looking for a retired USMC gunsmith who might be interested in building M40A3 and A5 rifles. We carry all the parts and choices of DD Ross and Badger trigger guards. So far, we have been supplying enthusiasts and gunsmiths with all the parts, but want to make a few rifles. If that is...

    Mk12 mod 1 or NSW Recce

    Wow. Sounds like a fun project. If you dont have the Mk12 Mod 1, I would clearly go that route, but a RECCE rifle is also a great choice. You can opt for a larger diameter AEM can, and go with .308 and 5.56 and even 6.5 in between if you want to be versatile, and make a Gordon carbine with a...

    SWAT rifle scope

    We have provided a number of SWAT teams with optics, and the facts seem to bear out that unlike military snipers, most PD SWAT teams take aim from much closer positions, counter-sniper teams being the exception. One of the more popular choices has been the Nightforce NX8 1-8x. It is compact...

    Navy Mk12 RECCE with AEM3 anyone have one?

    I am not sure you gain much with the AEM3. Normal profile is with AEM5.

    Suppressors Mk12 suppressor history - OPS Inc, Allen Engineering, etc.

    I spent some time digging through some old documents and talking to Ron and Alex and others. It took a lot more time than I anticipated, but wanted to share, for anyone interested in the over-the-barrel Mk12, M24, Gordon 723 suppressors from OPS Inc, and later Allen Engineering. I guess I...

    both sound like reasonable options. Do you have both?

    M40 feed rail

    I suppose you are talking about the USMC stripped cut? The thought was that a Marine could use a stripper clip from M80 ball ammo and load from the top. I have not heard any real stories of this happening.

    Anyone have experience with the Leupold Mark 4HD 1-4.5x24?

    I am not a shill, and no experience yet. From a commercial standpoint, I think this series will be a winner, and the quality will be just fine. I would not expect the true 1x that you experience with a Razor or an ATACR or the S&B Dual CC. I expect that will be the weak spot, but the overall...

    New scope??.

    I think you picked three winners. For varmit hunting, you do not world class glass, but you picked some good ones. While we are very strong NF fans, the other two options have a slight edge in glass, but I would not pick a varmit scope on glass. MOSTLY, YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE RETICLE. You...

    Precision Rifle Gear Anyone try the MDT ACC elite in Long Action?

    We have had a few customers very happy. Some asked for a stiffer chassis, and upgraded to Cadex. Most of our experience has been with SA, and all were pleased.
