    Gunsmithing karsten cheek piece slippage

    Gunsmithing karsten cheek piece slippage

    Re: karsten cheek piece slippage I liked the sexwax idea and I had thought about screws but didn't want to resort to that just yet. I had thought the rubber on the inside would be the easiest thing to try first but finding a thin piece of rubber or gasket material around here is...

    Gunsmithing karsten cheek piece slippage

    Re: karsten cheek piece slippage I thought of grip tape and I'm sure that would work, really well. As I was mulling over the problem today I was trying to figure out what would work that would keep it adjustable and not slip and not scuff up the wood or at least what would do the least...

    Gunsmithing karsten cheek piece slippage

    I had this posted on the rifle forum for a while but this looked like it might be a better place for my question I just put a laminate wood stock on a Savage 10FP in 308. the stock is to low so I put a Karsten cheek piece on it to get my eye up to the scope and get a decent cheek weld. Only...

    karsten cheek piece slipage

    Re: karsten cheek piece slippage I have checked the bolts and every thing is sucked down to the stock. I was hoping to keep the cheek piece adjustable. I suppose I could run a couple of grabbers in to it but I'd prefer not to . I think that bolt handle you have will be next on my list...

    karsten cheek piece slipage

    Not sure if this is the right place or not but here goes. I just put a laminate wood stock on a Savage 10FP in 308 . the stock is to low so I put a Karsten cheek piece on it to get my eye up to the scope and get a decent cheek weld. Only problem is, the cheek piece moves after a few...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Re: Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures I don't have the professional contacts that that Jeff has and I have never really been able to talk to any experts about barrel break in so its nice to see some else call bullshit on copper bullets smoothing out the bore of a rifle...

    Gunsmithing Correct Length of Pull?

    Re: Correct Length of Pull? I just bought a Savage 10fp and a new scope and the first thing I did was put a laminate varmint stock on it. I knew ahead of time it wasn't going to fit right so I've had to order different rings again and finally got a krydex cheek rest put on it the other...

    Interchangeable-Uppers and Lowers

    Re: Interchangeable-Uppers and Lowers I believe the Remington R5s are compatible with the DPMS lowers as are the Futon Armory Titans.

    Reloading 101: Reloading basics for the new reload

    Re: Reloading 101: Reloading basics for the new reload I was reading an article the other day about a guy that was lubing the necks of his brass with graphite as part of the bullet seating process. It doesn't seem like a good thing to do. Has anyone else tried that? Does anybody use any...

    Vertical Stringing

    Re: Vertical Stringing Why don't you think the sleds are any good? My thought was to use one just for sighting in ( like I'm trying to do ) and load development. I wanted some thing that would hold the gun real still like.

    Vertical Stringing

    Re: Vertical Stringing OK, OK. I'll ditch the sled. I can shoot a pretty tight groups with my ARs so I don't think my breathing is the problem. I'll definitely be paying more attention to it though. Like I said this is a new whole new rig so I'm trying to figure it out. How much...

    Vertical Stringing

    Re: Vertical Stringing Your right, I didn't want to hear that but I did think of that already. That idea won't be my last choice but for starters I was going to try some different ammo first and see if I can correct any shooter input this week end. I would hate to have someone else...

    Vertical Stringing

    I finally got my scope and rifle together and took them out for a shoot. I was getting 1 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards with a new Savage FP10 ( 308) and a new millet 4x16 mil dot, mil rad set up. I have the rifle on a laminate stock and was shooting 168 gn federal match ammo and I was...

    Ar 308 question.

    Re: Ar 308 question. I had my 308 built by Fulton armory. It is basically a DPMS upper and lower but I figured Fulton would do a better job on QC and fit and finish. I was not disappointed. My titan is a tack driver. The other reason I went with Fulton and the DPMS platform was...
