Thanks....Based on the performance with each load he shot, I'm lowering my accuracy guarantee to 3/8 MOA or better for packages built on the STINKER and the Model 911 Actions.

Re: Skunkworks RECON Article in Special Weapons

Thanks Todd. Their plans for the cover apparently changed (as I was told might be the case), but it was originally slated for the cover. Ichiro does take some mean photos though.

Certainly not you.

Re: Skunkworks RECON Article in Special Weapons

Just checked out your website. NICE!! Does your 700 rail have the lug notch like the recon? Do you do the install on the chokes on your shortie 870 barrels?
The 870 safety is perfect. My finger naturally takes it off safe on the way to trigger.

 

[BlackOps Tech]

Re: Skunkworks RECON Article in Special Weapons

Thanks Todd....My 700 rails actually have two recoil lugs that fit into the front and rear of the ejection port. The recoil lug and rail on the article rifle are Seekins. I'm now doing my own recoil lugs (pinned with blind holes in the lug to avoid mechanical bedding lock) and rails for the STINKER and Model 911 actions. The lug matches the OD of the receiver so I can blend it in. Once the barrel is torqued on, the line disappears and there is no step between the receiver and the lug so it all looks like one piece. The only step is between the lug and the barrel shoulder. It has a nice custom look....

I do the chokes on the shortie 870 barrels as well as lenthening the forcing cone and honing. The safeties are doing very well and are made out of 4140, so there is no dimpling by the index ball that locks up the safety in the trigger housing....

Re: Skunkworks RECON Article in Special Weapons

Congrats on the good review. And It seems to me anyway that you found one of the few gunrag writers that knew something about shooting.

Re: Skunkworks RECON Article in Special Weapons

Thanks JBurt....I didn't want to sell the article rifle, but someone called up the other day and wanted more than I did. I will get to your complimentary rifle as soon as possible

Re: Skunkworks RECON Article in Special Weapons

What ammo was used in the recon test? 3/8ths, is very difficult out of a crate of mil spec.
