    Suppressors Questioning my local Class 3 dealers honesty, need input.

    Here's the deal. My local class 3 dealer told me he sent my form 4/trust off January 27th. I marked it in my calendar. However, my check wasn't cashed until April 2nd. Didn't think much of it at the time. Now ~8 months later I'm starting to get impatient. So I call and check the...

    Gunsmithing Relatively quick, quality, trustworthy, smith to cut/thread/crown?

    I need to have a barrel cut down and a QD mount/brake installed on a rem 700 and would really like some opinions on where to send it. Turn around needs to be less than 3 weeks. Quality of course is my top concern. The gun as it sits is satisfyingly accurate and I would be extremely disappointed...

    WOA match vs BCM recce? Most accurate?

    16" & mid length gas, that I've decided on. Main reason for choosing those two is simply because they're in stock (and in budget..) I want the more accurate (with factory match ammo) of the two I think. I suppose that's what it comes down too at this point. I shoot 69 - 77 gr...

    Affordable parts/accessories your 100% happy with?

    For example I'm just as happy or satisfied with my Caldwell brand bipod on my Ar15 as I am with a Harris or even my atlas? Although admittedly the atlas looks cooler ;). And to my surprise my cheapo UTG "pro" rifle length handguard is as nice as most hand guards twice the price in my opinion...

    A "less rude" comp/brake for Ar (that works)..?

    I realize the idea of a quiet compensator or muzzle brake is a ridiculous request, what I want to know from those who might know is, is there perhaps a less obnoxious, less concussive, muzzle brake out there? My main concern is for those next to me. I was next to a surefire brake the other day...

    Gunsmithing From the aircraft maintenance world,penetrant/lube

    It is a super/turbocharged version of WD40 or liquid wrench I kid you not. Its called Mouse Milk and honestly it has been a dependable backup when things get frustrating, i.e. a bolt on an exhaust manifold that's giving me hell or most recently a rem. 700 barrel a "gunsmith" couldn't break loose...

    Gunsmithing Caswells PTFE/ E-Nickel for action & bolt?

    Its a r700 first off and while I've got the barrel off I started thinking about refinishing the action and bolt while I could get them in the oven if need be for one of the bake on spray finishes available. Then I ran across Caswells website and found their simple sounding Teflon/nickel...

    Suppressors Pics of (mtu m24etc) barrel cut for 12th w/brake?

    Ive seen countless Ar's with the ops inc brake and collar used with their 12th model can but none of a heavy contour (MTU M24 ~#7 or the like) bolt gun that has been contoured to fit the same brake and suppressor. I understand the collar is substituted by machining the barrel to the correct...

    Anyone seen this?

    http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/gadgetbox/futuristic-rifle-turns-novice-sharpshooter-1B7916613 Id be curious to know if that actually works. Kind of a cool idea though.

    Gunsmithing Quality rebarrel/true w/turn around < than 2wks?

    I understand you pay for quality and good things come in time.... BUT is there a place I can ship my factory barreled action along with a new pre-contoured blank to get trued and rebarreled and have any hope of seeing it again within the month? And if so what kind of price is fair? I've...

    What is so great about Badger Ordnance bases?

    I just received one in the mail and began to compare it to my "cheap" brand and found hardly no difference in the two. The difference I did find was weight, because my cheap one is aluminum and the BO is steel. There might be some reason for paying over twice what I paid for my "cheap" one...

    Rem 700 243 varmint opinions?

    Dicks sporting goods here has one of their Remington 700 ADL's in 243 for $450.00. Along with multiple 308's and 223's. I have wanted a 243 just to shoot at this new 1000 yrd range nearby for a while and happened across this deal last night and cant get my mind off of it. They only had one...

    Range Report Having trouble at 1k with 700p 168g FGMM?

    Im having trouble with getting hits at 1000 yards. This was my second time to shoot at that distance so I am honestly clueless where to start problem solving. I recently got a used 700p, another than my home skim bed job its stock. Swfa ss10x, aluminum 20moa base and millet rings (burris look...

    Gunsmithing Local smith wants $200 to thread/install brake?

    $200.00 with a "usual 1-2 week turnaround". And I supply the brake. For a varmint contour 700 in. 308 I have never had any guns worked on before, actually he is the first gunsmith I've met that I know of so I've been a little curious if this is reasonable for the wrrk. If so im going to look...

    Yeah i cant decide between 223 or 308 sps tactical

    I dont reload so price of ammo is a concern. My use for this rifle will be basically my first "target" rifle aside from my 10/22 if that even counts so: 100 yard hole punching, and see how far I can shoot "accurately". And hogs when I see them which is not too often. I have a ton of cheap...

    Rem sps tac AAC-SD available anywhere?

    I can't seem to find one anywhere and no one has been upfront with me about when they might get any in stock. Any news on when or where there might be some avail? Best estimate I got was 1-3 months.... Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Nikon prostaff 4-12x40 mildot opinions?

    I was browsing the web and found this scope on sale for ~$165.00 and thought it might be a good deal for me. Anyone have any experience with this scope? Was planning on a SS 10x but this is about half the $ while on sale. In your opinion is the cost difference worth it for a bolt gun in 223 or...

    308 (Target/Fun gun) recoil for 5'11" 145lb guy?

    I have a Rem model 7 in .260 that knocks me back<span style="text-decoration: underline"> what seems like a foot</span> (in reality it is a few inches) when i shoot it off of a bench with factory Rem 140gr's. I realise it is a light gun compared to a stout HB target/varmint gun but also that the...

    Potential w/ my .260 rem. model seven?

    I have wanted to get into this long range/precision thing for a while. I have spent a good amount of time reading about possible options and decided a good 700 in 223 would be good for me considering I dont have the range to take advantage of higher cal's distance potential (not to mention the...
