    Suppressors Electronic Form 4 Wait Times

    My dealer just eFiled a Form 4 for my suppressor. Is there an electronic way to determine status or do you still have to call the BATF NFA unit?? Thanks, Dave

    Recommendations for Spotting Scope Stand

    Basically what I need to allocate to get the features that are beneficial. I'll primarily be using it prone but also want to use it while sitting at a bench or standing when spotting. I'll probably being using it on ranges (some primitive) and not shlepping it in the field much if at all so the...

    Newbie Questions on Case Prep - How Much is Too Much??

    I agree that individual performance improvement comes with confidence in the equipment - but I'm a realist. Thinking a process has made your loads more accurate doesn't make them so. I'm trying to figure out which processes actually have value and and get a relative assessment of how much. I'll...

    Newbie Questions on Case Prep - How Much is Too Much??

    After reading a great deal on the subject of case prep, I've wondered if someone with an anal personality such as myself taking up precision hand loading is akin to someone with an addictive personality taking up cocaine snorting as a hobby - you find it difficult to find an end point. It seems...

    Recommendations for Spotting Scope Stand

    I'm upgrading my spotting scope and realize that I will also need something more appropriate to prone shooting than my small camera tripod. I've looked at various stands available that will allow a low position for prone as well as extensions for use when standing or seated at a bench (Creemoor...

    Rear squeeze bag

    I got mine on ebay - try searching for "poly beads". Sorry I don't remember the vendor but I found him easily and they were not expensive.

    Replacement for AICS Magazines - Accurate vs Alpha

    It looks like both Accurate and Alpha make magazines without the "blinder plate" - the strip of metal at the front of the AICS mag - that allows longer cartridges to be fitted. I was curious as to whether there was any difference between the two brands and also if the longer cartridges required...

    Replacement for AICS Magazines - Accurate vs Alpha

    I'm having a 260 Rem built and chambered to allow a longer COAL than will fit in an AICS mag. It seems the options are to have the front bar removed from the AICS mags or use Alpha or Accurate magazines. The Alpha website mentions that the action (feed ramp) may have to be modified for...

    Question for 260 Rem Shooters/Reloaders

    Were your rifles chambered to standard dimensions or did you specify a custom chamber to allow you to get these results with the 139 Scenars and 140 Berger? My problem is that I know what I would like to do - use hand loads in AICS mags and be able to seat 139-142 bullets to the lands if...

    Manners Composite Stocks - New Carbon Fiber Elite Tactical lay-up option

    Tom, How do these weights compare with your current 90% carbon adjustable stocks? Will you still offer the 90% carbon option when production of Carbon Elite Tactical stock is up and running? Thanks----

    Question for 260 Rem Shooters/Reloaders

    I have a 6.5 build planned but am still undecided on 260 Rem vs 6.5 CM. One of the dis-advantages of the 260 that's frequently mentioned in comparisons with the 6.5CM is the fact that the 260 requires seating deep within the case if used in a 308 sized mag. The exception seems to be if custom...

    Benefits of stainless vs carbon steel

    I've never seen a post to the effect that "I shouldn't have bought the 5R". There are many posts which document the desirability of this model. Mine shoots .25-.35" groups with standard hand loads. Appearance-wise I prefer blued steel but that's my only negative. Allegedly they started as a...

    Optimal Twist for 6.5CM and 260 Rem

    I should have included in the OP that I plan to use bullets in the 139 - 142 grain range.

    Optimal Twist for 6.5CM and 260 Rem

    I've been doing some research for a custom build in 6.5 - leaning towards the CM but haven't ruled out the 260. One of the things I've noticed is that 6.5 barrels from Bartlein are offered in 8, 8.5 and 9 twists but the custom tack-drivers from GAP use 8.2. I was curious as to whether there is...

    Flat Top vs Factory Inletted Stock for Custom Build

    I'm considering a custom build and been turned off by the long lead time for a Manners or McMillan stock. Flat-top McMillan stocks are available in a much shorter time from aftermarket suppliers so I was considering one of those - but I don't want to be sorry later that I didn't just wait for...
