    Converting R700 308 to 6.5 creedmoor

    This rifle started out life as a Rem 700 SPS (lefty) in .308. Since you've already got the chassis/AICS magwell, etc, you're only looking at a barrel swap. If you have the tools, it's an easy option--I went with a Benchmark X-Caliber 'Remage' 6.5 barrel. You'll need a barrel vise, action...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I certified 7/7......starting to develop a nervous twitch in my left eye from the anticipation..... Longest damn 90 days I've ever seen

    Well, the dems just set precedence. They might not like what happens when the pendulum swings back. *Who am I kidding. 'Conservatives' won't do a damn thing despite mountains of actual evidence.

    Warmed up enough today for a ride.

    This is why I still reside in SC. I get to ride pretty much year-round. Late Feb through early March is usually the only time it's too cold or too wet, and we've had a really mild winter this year. I just finished a 3-hole service, wash and wax......we're heading out now to go look at some...

    If you're going to get a speeding ticket, make it a good one.

    Back in 2000 or 2001, one of our NCOs at Luke AFB got pulled over for 200+ on his brand new Hayabusa. He was coming down the Mogollon Rim and opened it up on a straight patch to see what it could do......made national news for a day or two. None of us could figure out why he pulled over--even...

    Maggie’s SH Motorcycle Thread

    Yesterday was beautiful riding weather--mid 60s, sunny......and I spent my Saturday wrenching instead. I had some problems show up during last weekend's ride and they're common issues on 2007-2014 Harleys. The compensator spring pack wears out and the auto-adjusting tensioner gets the chain...

    Why have more than one rimfire?

    Yup. I've only got 3 rimfires now: B14R (lefty) that is a virtual clone of my precision centerfire. It serves as a trainer and a short range precision rig. I've got a built up 10/22 that I like to use for NRA Smallbore and similar precision-ish gaming. And finally, my mostly stock 10/22...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    Tried to relax in front of the TV last night after dinner and the dogs wanted to play. If we stare at him long enough, he's gonna play with us! It's not working! He's not getting off the couch! Stare harder!! And add a little whine!!! Soldier is 4 months old. Nyx is 3 yrs old...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    Thank you! I thought about it, but the online market is already flooded with people trying to justify buying one of these $200 desktop machines. Amazon and Etsy prices are between $5 and $12 per custom tag and our local Pets Mart has a machine that does it while you wait for about $20. It...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    Yesterday, I made a new tag for Soldier on my little desktop CNC router/laser engraver. The other side says 'I am A.W.O.L. Please call my commanding officer at ***-***-****' Here's my boy as of this morning---he's tripled in size since I brought him home on 12/23/2022. To see the size...

    Who has the right to ask to see a tax stamp?

    So, since we agree 100% on the bold part, how is it a problem to educate people that class III items are legal and obtainable? How does being willing to show a piece of paper mean that I'm somehow bending a knee? Technically, I bent the knee when I paid the taxes in the first place. I have...

    Who has the right to ask to see a tax stamp?

    I honestly don't understand the problem people have with showing a tax stamp. I'm relatively new to NFA stuff, and every time I've been to the range lately, people ask about my SBR and homemade cans. Range officials sometimes ask if I have a stamp because they know that ATF is always looking...

    1" dia 1/2x28 thread spacer

    @Pocket This look OK? 316 stainless, 1/2x28 threads. OD is .9975" and thickness is .2495". That's about as close as my little Chinese lathe is capable of. I used Caswell Stainless blackener.....not the toughest finish, but you get what you paid for! I spun it on my B14R and popped a few...

    1" dia 1/2x28 thread spacer

    I recently got a mini lathe and I'm having some fun turning metal. I have 316 stainless and aluminum bar stock on hand. Shoot me an IM with exact dimensions and which material you'd prefer. (no charge)

    Chinese Balloon

    We know that the Chinese have been playing with bioweapons (Wuhan)......balloons would be a cost effective and easy way to infect an entire continent if they wanted to. The Japanese used balloons to deliver incendiary bombs on American soil during WWII. I'm hoping that it's just weather...

    Bergara b-14r pic thread

    New Viperskins arrived a day later than expected--it's been rainy and cold, so I had plenty of time to install them, and I took the rifle out today to enjoy the sunshine. Shoots even better than before--the only target on the KYL that gave me any trouble at all was the 1/4", and even that one...
