    Gunsmithing Robert Gradous chambering on his HAAS TL-1

    Anyone know what type of setup he is running on the other side of the barrel the, to support the muzzle end I mean? Just curious on his setup if anyone knows. I'd love to give this a try on the lathes at work.. Ben

    Suppressors E-Forms back online for Form 1's!!

    So I am really new to this, I filed a Form 1 back in January, did it that way because the eForms were not set up for the Form 1s at that time. Seemed like I had to have a trust or something is the reason I did not do it. Do you still have to have a trust or can an individual do it now? I...

    Anyone ever made their own knives?

    I contacted one of the heat treating companies and they said they thought they could determine the type of steel it is. I think I am going to send it their way and see what they can do, not really anything to lose. Ben

    clark custom vs cz vpt

    I have shot both side by side. I know the CZ was not bedded(may have helped some) and I don't think that the Clark was either. Shooting the same ammo from both and I was getting about the same results from each. I think as far as accuracy goes they may be comparable especially if you invest in a...

    Tikka CTR

    I think this thread is getting a bit out of hand, no one is making anyone purchase this gun. If you don't like it don't buy it. And as far as the Remington vs Tikka debate. Yes the Remington is tried and true, but lately I see quite a few post talking about their poor quality, maybe I have...

    Anyone ever made their own knives?

    My only issue is I never knew what type of metal it was... Do you think a place like this could figure it out for me if I sent them my blade and then harden and temper for me? I love the design, just isn't sharp... Ben

    Tikka CTR

    Will these need to be pre-ordered? I really was planning on saving up and getting one after they come out... In you guy's experience with these kind of things if I wait will I have trouble finding them back in stock at a later date? Ben

    Anyone ever made their own knives?

    I have made a few, but I don't think I ever got the tempering correct and the last two never really took an edge. I am thinking of just buying a blank from knife kits and making a handle for it. I don't really have the time to start from scratch. Just wanted to see what you guys have done...

    Tikka vs custom action?

    I see! I think the Tikka actions look pretty sexy just as they are, maybe with an aftermarket bolt however! Ben

    Tikka vs custom action?

    I may be dragging up the dead horse to beat him a bit but can't seem to find much. I was just curious how the Tikka T3 actions compare to a custom action such as Bighorn or Badger? Planning out my future purchases and want to be well informed. Thanks Ben

    Gatorz or Oakley sunglasses?

    Thank you everyone for you input! It is looking like Oakley is the cheapest of what I am looking at. I do really like the looks of the Liquids however...decisions decisions.... Ben

    Gatorz or Oakley sunglasses?

    I am trying to decide on a decent pair of sunglasses. Something tough that will last me a long time. I like that the Gatorz are made from Aluminum, they seem like pretty tough glasses. Made in the USA. Just wondering if I should consider Oakley instead? I have never owned a high dollar set of...

    Could someone with calipers and a charging handle do me a big favor?

    Maybe way overthinking this, but I am getting close to doing the side charging mod on my upper and need to know how far the slot needs to be for the handle to charge rounds. So what I was thinking is that I could measure the length of a standard charging handle and then with it in the gun charge...

    I appreciate everyone's opinions! Just wanting a quiet short deer/coyote rifle. Ben

    If you were going to build a .300BLK bolt action how would you?

    I know that removing the barrel nut pretty much defeats the purpose of the Savage, I just don't have any interest in a switch barrel build. Plus I have access to lathes and reamers already. I think I will go with a 16" barrel and just thread the muzzle. Ben
