    Barrel out of spec? Origin shouldered to savage style.

    Hey guys, I am piecing together a beater on a Solus action. I do have an origin shouldered prefit that is perfect. Today I picked up a rainier arms 8.6 blackout savage small shank match barrel. As I screw the barrel into the action I make less than 1/2 rotation before it becomes overly tight...

    Firearms Armalite M-15 Tactical/ Odin Barrel/ Geissele Trigger/ PRS Lite

    I am liquidating several things, and among them is my Armalite M-15 Tactical. From the factory it shot about 1.5-MOA so I swapped to an Odin barrel and now it is a pretty consistent .6 shooter. I also installed a geissele 2 stage, a PRS Lite, and I topped it with a Gen 3 Strike Eagle 3-18x44...

    SOLD Tikka Tac A1 6.5 Creed 24”

    I am liquidating some items and among them is my Tikka Tac A1 24” 6.5 Creedmoor. I had big plans for this rifle, but never got to them. It’s sat in the safe and hasn’t had a single round through it outside of the factory. I have cycled the action and dry-fired it some. I no longer have the box...

    Life has given me quite the plot twist and I am in a position where I need to liquidate a few things. One of those things being my Gen2 Razor. It very clearly has had an easy life. It’s in excellent condition. It has very slight signs of use on the elevation turret. It has VERY faint ring marks...

    Help me troubleshoot issue with ELR load please

    Hey guys, I am loading my 338 Lapua Improved. I am trying to get my SD under 10 fps, but so far I’ve not been very successful. I can absolutely get 1/4 minute loads but nothing I do will get me inside of that 10 fps SD. With this being an ELR rig, I feel like that is a must. Will somebody help...

    Magazine Feeding AI Cartridges

    Hey guys, I’m certain this has been discussed, but the threads I was able to find some info in were fairly dated. I just thought I’d ask to see if anything’s changed in 7 years. LRI rebarreled my 338 Lapua into a 338 Lapua AI. The magazines (accurate mags) don’t seem to fit/feed the improved...

    Short action specifically: 6.5 SAUM, PRC, or SS?

I have a defiance medium ultralight action/ Mag BF. I just picked up a 24” Bartlein 6.5 blank (7.5t). I’m trying to settle...

    The tin star shooting range in Weatherford Oklahoma has a small stash of mixed primers. Looked like mostly CCI and federal as well as different powders. To the best of my knowledge this location can ship. I did not see any posted prices however their prices are usually reasonable. I just thought...

    Night Vision Help: No drill helmet mount for NVG

    Hey guys, I’m stepping into unknown territory here and could use some help. I need to find a mounting system for a dual tube nvg unit that can work on ballistic helmets. The tricky part is it needs to be a no-drill setup but it needs to be reasonably rugged. Does such item exist?

    Help: Torquing action screws=binded/locked up action

    Hey guys, this is probably a fairly basic question but I couldn’t seem to find what I am looking for. I recently picked up a MPA hybrid chassis for my 700. When I torque my action screws, it binds the action where I cannot cycle the action. I can’t apply enough torque to get it in spec without...

    Stupid fireforming question

    So I ordered a 338LM Ackley Improved barrel from LRI. I also plan to order custom dies since there are no commercial dies available. When reading about them, of course the manufacturers highly recommended sending fully fireformed cases for the most accurate dimensions. In my limited experience...
