    Gunsmithing Carbon Baked in Barrel please help.

    Yup. Learned this the hard way. Possum hollow bore guide with a nice tight fitting o ring. Plugged the bore guide with one of those yellow and pink foam ear plugs. Filled the barrel with C4 carbon remover and leaned the rifle up against the wall overnight. Seemed to be holding but in the morning...

    Bighorn Origin barrel to a TL3

    My understanding is that these used to only be required for the TL3/SR3 short actions in order to run barrels cut for the origins and long action TL3/SR3 (which had the same tenon lengths). Do the medium actions have the same tenon length as the long actions and origins as well?

    Anyone mistakenly put a 6mm ARC round in a 6.5 Grendel?

    A guy I used to work with fired a .303 British out of his 7mm Remington Magnum. He didn’t even own a rifle in .303 either. Somehow the .303 round made it in with his 7mm rem mag ammo and I believe made it into his Tikka mag. I went and tried it and sure enough, a .303 Brit will fit nicely in a...

    Accuracy International AXSR Questions: QC and Relief Port

    I cut mine out of the sealed bag it was shipped in from the UK to Canada (AXMC) and was able to pick the rifle apart. The quick lock tensioning screw head was stripped. Looked like someone had an Allen key in only about 1/16” and tried to torque it and stripped the hex head. Looks more like a...

    Night Vision KRG Bravo NV rail

    I had the same question and couldn't find anything on the net. So I paid to find the answer and here it is for anyone else that may be wondering the same thing one day. By my measurements the backbone mounted NV rail on my Bravo sits approximately 0.175" above the CTR's factory rail. I haven't...

    No.4 Mk.1 1943

    Just make sure you really don’t care to shoot them. I previously had an Irish contract by serial new in the wrap and a new in the box/grease ‘41 Savage No4 and sold them both because I couldn’t bring myself to shoot them. Ended up regretting that decision and replacing them with what I have now...

    No.4 Mk.1 1943

    I have an unfired irish contract No4 Mk2 that has been carefully removed from the wrap and I plan to fire the first rounds out of it this spring. I also have an unfired ‘43 Long Branch that I’ve been trying to bring myself to fire…I’m just not there yet. Maybe one day.

    If you could only own 2 caliber Rifles?

    Lol, I love my 7s. I ventured away from my 7RMs and went down a 28 Nosler rabbit hole just to find the 7 Rem mag was all I needed. But now I have loads of brass and a couple barrels so I’ll shoot them out. Having fun launching 3340fps 150gn TTSXs at critters. Kills them deader than a 7 Rem mag!

    If you could only own 2 caliber Rifles?

    My choices would be 7mm Rem Mag for the range and 28 Nosler for hunting. But I’d also be okay with 7mm Rem Mag for both.

    Rifle Scopes Who makes the best rail for a Tikka T3X?

    I have MDT, Spuhr, and Area 419 Tikka rails. The quality is there on all 3 so for me it came down to aesthetics and the Area 419 rail and MDT rails win in that department. I prefer how nicely they both match the contour of the receiver. Edit: Just realized this thread died in 2019, but the info...

    Manners LRH Discussion

    I hope what you’re calling a lot more is what I would call a bit lol. Cuz I would pay a bit more for Arctic. My EH-1 in Arctic just blows me away. I won’t hold my breath, but the day it’s available again is the day I’d order up replacement stocks.

    Hopefully when the carbon chassis is available the Arctic will be available again too. Until then…order placed for a back in black LRH with M5 minim chassis. Can’t wait.

    Manners LRH Discussion

    Is there only one standard barrel channel with the LRH? Reading @RobertB 's post it sounds like that's the case, but playing around on the stock builder on the manners site there's a drop down for the barrel as well as the length of the straight shank. Edit: just a quick browse through the...
