When you have a driving passion for your work, you're living the dream and it becomes no work at all. I can't wait to get this installed on my new AI. After the project is finished and the last package has been sent I want to know what Sam is going to do next. It truly is a work of love...
Just wondering how much did Q charge you for the barrel extension? I have a Q 308 barrel but I used the extension on a new 6.5 barrel so I would like to get an extension for it.
I'm one of those guys that purchased an Accuracy International AT so I could install the new AO chassis. I doubt that I'm the only one. Call me crazy but the rifle looks so much better with the lower center of gravity. I can't wait to get this installed, it's the way the rifle should have...
The ball diameter is .975" and because the bolt handle is extended one inch the stock will not fold over it. After using the factory length versus the extended length I much prefer an extended bolt handle. YMMV
I can't believe this is a 12 lb rifle. It started life at 6.4 lbs and between a Scope, Mount, Bipod, Can, Sling, and a loaded 10 round Magazine now it's 12 heavy pounds. Maybe I'll find a smaller, lighter optic.
I found that using an extended bolt handle does not require removing the bolt in order to fold the stock. You just have to move the cheek rest one step back which makes enough room for the bolt to start to close above the stock, that way the bolt doesn't rattle around in your rifle case.
That New SIG Rifle?
Yes, there's a new rifle on the way, too, maybe, and that's about all we know for now other than the name: TREAD.

Decided I couldn't wait a year for the 6.5 Fix so I purchase one in 308. Now I can't wait for a ball bolt handle, and since I have a friend with a milling machine decided to make one. It is so much better. The only downside I can find is you have to remove the bolt to fold the stock. I can...
Hey Guys, I was trying to use the older Gen M2 20LR Pmags in the Fix and found they will not work without a small modification on the back near the top of magazine. The M2 has more of a V shape and it has to be changed to the square shape found in the newer Gen M3 20LR Pmags. The M2 also seem...
The Magnetospeed is very compact, easy and quick to set up but if your shooting paper targets it will affect your groups because it's hanging off the end of your barrel or suppressor. The Oehler 35P is not compact, takes a little longer to set up, but it's a fantastic machine and has no affect...
I too love the SCAR17, it's one of the most accurate battle rifle I have ever seen. The SCAR with a scope weighs about the same as an AR-308 with no scope. That counts a lot if you have to pack it very far. The only improvement I can think of (after replacing the trigger of course) would be to...
Hey guys, a great video of the SCAR 17 at long range, well for most of us it would be long range.
