    it's actually dark brown instead of black, krylon camo, that was the first layer, then I believe dark green, light green, and tan last. the tan was krylon camo, dark green was aerovoe, and light green was rustoleum camo, then went over the whole thing with a krylon matte clear

    Gunsmithing Grayboe stock mods

    thanks, that was my thoughts too, as long as you cut it reasonably close Devcon will hide the rest. I had originally planned on smoothing the bottom out by sanding, coating with Devcon, then sanding again, and then coating the top with Devcon and taping it up with wax paper in between for a...

    Re: Primer interchange????? Start at 36 and work your way up to 40 looking for pressure signs and accuracy, go up in .5 increments to 40, load 3 each of 36, 36.5, 37, 37.5, 38, 38.5, 39, 39.5, and 40. If you don't get signs of pressure start at 40 and work your way back in .3 increments until...

    Whats a clean powder for 45 and 9?

    Re: Whats a clean powder for 45 and 9? I use winchester 231 in both, have you tried loading a little hotter? Sometimes a light load will burn dirty. I use 5.7 grains under a 230 roundnose plated powerbond bullet, replicates factory loaded 230's at around 830 fps and shoots clean

    About 6 months ago I decided to buy a target rifle, and had decided on an sps tactical after alot of reading. Instead I found a pretty good deal on what I think is a remington 700 police 20" with Hs Precision stock. It had a Millett 4-16x56 on it, and after reading up I bought some Lapua brass...
