    Question on DPMS SASS gas block

    Re: Question on DPMS SASS gas block JP has a great team of 'smiths. I'd shoot them an email, and I'd bet you end up sending them your barrelled upper.

    Big Company, or Small Company, for Mk12 Upper?

    Re: Big Company, or Small Company, for Mk12 Upper? I just purchased a DPMS MK12 barrel, and I'm hoping it wasn't a mistake. That said, I don't deploy anymore, and my kit really doesn't see too much dirt or sand. I may not have an "actual" MK12, and I might not be able to swap parts with an...

    Switch to semi-auto .22?

    Nobody needs to be told that times are tough. That's why so many of us have taken on the .22 as our favorite range gun. I have a DPMS MK12, and a M4-gery. I don't have a full power bolt gun. I do have a Savage MKIIF with a Boyds Tacti-cool stock; and she's accurate as hell. But as a...

    DPMS 308 barrels on sale, $160

    Re: DPMS 308 barrels on sale, $160 Got one! This will replace the 18" bull barrel on my LR308B, which weighs about as much as a 4X4 truck axle. The barrel doesn't come with a gas block and might not even be drilled for one. That said, I'll be having a JP adjustable gas block installed...

    Watch Movements. . . snobbery?

    I have an Omega Seamaster, which I've owned and enjoyd with pride for a few years now. It keeps perfect time, seems nearly indestructable, and looks great. Recently, a relative-in-law was looking at it and said, somewhat condescendngly, "Oh. You got the quartz.". He went on to explain that it...

    New Generation of Tube Guns

    Re: New Generation of Tube Guns Okay . . . sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but I have a question about these wrapped barrels . . . What happens when you bang one against a rock or the side of a tree? In other words, are these just range toys, or would you take one into the field?

    Another silly question . . .

    For better or worse, I sold my 7mm Rem Mag, and abandoned my plans to build it into a nice 500+ yard range toy. I built a SASS that seems to be filling that roll nicely. Now, some criteria. The reason the SASS just won't do, is that with the bull barrel I've got hanging on, it's just too...

    Gunsmithing Savage 10 FCP McMillan 308 to 300 wsm

    Re: Savage 10 FCP McMillan 308 to 300 wsm I was also thinking of cutting the barrel back from 24" to 22". My thought is that it would be just a bit easier handling in the woods. I don't expect to take a shot over 800 yards. So, 22", with a 1-10 twist, a Holland brake, and a Limbsaver...

    Gunsmithing Savage 10 FCP McMillan 308 to 300 wsm

    Re: Savage 10 FCP McMillan 308 to 300 wsm So, are you all saying that it shouldn't be a problem, from a safety perspective, to ream out the existing chamber to accommodate the WSM?

    Gunsmithing Savage 10 FCP McMillan 308 to 300 wsm

    Hi All, Can this rifle be re-chambered to 300 wsm, with the existing barrel, or would a new barrel be better? Thanks!

    XM-3 Magnum?

    Hi all, I recently finished my SASS build, and I'm looking to get some ideas for my bolt gun build. So, here come some questions: I've a Remington 700 SPS in 7mmRM. That's the donor. I plan on using it for paper punching out past 600 meters, and against anything bigger or scarrier than a...

    Your wife

    Re: Your wife On pay day, the wife and I pool our money together. The vast majority goes to our joint account, and we sit down and pay bills (I've seen too many older women who have survived their husband, but have no idea how to pay bills and manage money) After that, we pay each other an...

    Movie Theater inception

    Re: inception Am I the only old f**ker that remembers Dennis Quaid and Max von Syndow in the movie "Dreamscape"? Inception is basically a remake. Not sayin' I won't see it, just that it isn't too original.
