    Barrel coolers

    I had a Chamber Chiller Beta 60, it was funky and the nozzle broke in my pack after a year, but it did what I bought it to do. I saw magneetospeed was going to release one, and being a fan of their chronographs I looked to buy one, but I still don't see them available, and looking at...

    Bad Diagnosis Today

    I had my back go out at 30, same day my first son was born. Like debilitating could not walk or stand for two weeks, constant back spasms, and worst pain of my life. After that incident you could litterally see the curvature in my spine just looking at me standing all cockeyed off to one side...

    Any feedback on Magpul 700 Pro chassis?

    This is my first chassis, so I have nothing to compare it against, but I am happy with it. Being an owner of many magpul products, it met all my expectations for quality and value. Although it's probably a bit heaver than I would prefer, my rifle is currently configured to shoot tactical prone...

    Annealeez modifications

    I was able to get the system running with the parts I listed above off a 20lb tank. I did experience issues trying to control the flame however. I had to replace the needle orifice thing at the bottom of the torch head with one from another torch I had laying around to get enough flow with the...

    Annealeez modifications

    Thanks for looking at that. I placed an order for that stuff today, also got my shipping notification for the annealeez, it will be here on Friday, which is unexpected since I placed the order Monday and their website says 4-5 week lead time. I should have a chance to see if that hookup I...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner scope Thoughts????

    I've been happy with my T5Xi 3-15. Tracks great, glass is an upgrade from my Viper PST. Pretty good value for a sub $1500 scope. It's a stepping stone for me until I'm ready to invest in a tier 1 optic. Customer service is top notch as well, and all the T series are made and serviced stateside.

    Annealeez modifications

    Just ordered my Annealeez today, and after reading this thread, I would like the convenience of having mine running off a 20lb propane tank. But I need some guidance. I see people talking about this Goss regulator, seems kinda spendy for $80. Is there any reason I couldn't use the below...

    Magpul Pro 700 Chassis problem, Need Help

    Should note I am running a bighorn Origin with my chassis. No loosening issues to speak of.

    Magpul Pro 700 Chassis problem, Need Help

    I'm thinking something is tweaked between the action and chassis and there is uneven distribution of mechanical stress between the action and chassis bedding. I think XLR 308 may be onto something. Study the contact area on the chassis and receiver and see if there any uneven patterning...

    PVA prefit

    My PVA bbl has a similar step in it's contour. I thought about bringing it up to them but figured I was being too picky and should just live with it. Shoots fine. I do feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one.

    ORIGIN Orders

    I told someone I would post pics of my final build completed last week. Here she is. I've been running 140gr ELD-M's to fireform and break in the bbl, I plan to load with these going forward for my match loads. I was getting just a tad over 2900 fps with them in my 25" bbl running 44.9...

    ORIGIN Orders

    Consider a Criterion savage pre-fit. It's not cut rifled but they probably have a 6.5 CM bbl ready to ship. I bought one as an extra in .308 when I realized my PVA bbl wasnt going to make it in time. Shoots great.

    ORIGIN Orders

    Wipe bolt down with oil and wipe dry. Grease lugs, and cocking ramp. Been using the breakthrough oil and grease. Seems to work ok.

    ORIGIN Orders

    I received my bolt back from Bighorn after having the cocking piece modified. I tried the bolt with all my triggers (Huber 2 stage, Timney CE 1 stage, and Timney CE 2 stage) and now my Timney CE 2 stage actually functions. Initially after installing the modified bolt and trigger, the firing pin...

    California fires

    Jerry I share your sentiments on many issues, you may be surprised how many Californians do too, especially the ones in the more rural areas, like Butte County for instance.

    Juan Williams Fox News

    NPR fired him for not being SJW enough for their taste. I give him a pass. I will say though, he’s gone off the deep end a bit since Trump was elected.
