    Pelican style case help!

    I hope that this is in the right section! I have a case similar to a pelican case that has 2 layers of flat foam in it. I was wondering what the ideal way to cut the foam to the shape of the rifle would be? Should I just give it a whirl with the exacto knife or what?

    Barrel cutting questions

    Has anyone or does anyone shoot a Rem 700 .300 wm or .338 with a shorter barrel? I have a .308 that has been cut down with a brake and it shoots great, just didn't know if the larger calibers shoot good with a shorter barrel. Seems like every one I have seen has barrels of at least 24-26"s...

    Cutting and Threading a Barrel

    I was interesting to cutting my barrel down and having it threaded, my question is do you buy the knurled thread protectors or are they custom made by the gunsmith doing the work. I may also consider putting a Vias brake on it that I can take on and off.
