Thanks for the kind words, it was a pleasure talking and shooting with you today. We had an exceptional squad which makes a day of shooting all the more pleasant. I hope that we meet on a range again soon.
I really dislike shooting off the front of that helicopter. You have a much better...
AR15; Service Rifle and Match Rifle. SR has the standard 20" barrel. Using a 1-7 Bartlein this year with excellent results. MR were always 26" 1-8, mostly Harts. I chambered all of them with AMU or Wylde style reamers. These have throats that are .030 - .040" longer than standard. The 80s are...
Odd Job has stumbled upon a very interesting rifle. Stellite locking lugs, double set triggers made by three different companies (in name) and imported into the USA.

Lots of pictures and great write up here...
All ammo (factory, boutique loaded and handloaded) will have some variance in the dimensions of the loaded rounds. Those dimensions will vary between lots as well as manufacturers, even handloaded. Even if the set up of the dies are the same, dies have variance just like headspace gauges and we...
Sunray, there are many ways to cut a chamber with different reasons for each from hunting to benchrest and in-between. None to almost no resistance has worked for me for different applications when measuring headspace while chambering.
When the barrel is torqued down to the receiver there will...
Clearance numbers run all over the place and you are right in there. I would not go any farther than .008" bolt gap though. I've seen as much as .015" and I don't like that much unsupported brass.
Badger actions are weird but the PRS guys seem to like them. I get the insert for the lugs and...
Taliv is absolutely correct about headspace. The chamber should be cut so that the bolt closes on the go gauge with none to almost no resistance when chambering. This will allow for thread crush to open the headspace up to an allowable dimension when the barrel is torqued down. Actions based on...
You ain't wrong. I'm not playing the cheese grater forearm game. I took an old match rifle flattop upper, put a new SR barrel on it with an old CLE SR forearm to make my new optics SR.
The CMP has done the shooters a huge disservice by publishing three rules changes this year. The NRA is just...
This is not correct. Both the NRA and CMP allow scopes on Match Rifles without limits on magnification power.
This is covered in the latest CMP rules dated 03/02/17 and the NRA rule changes for 2017.
Set the hook on that line. Kowa scopes are the de facto standard scopes used in highpower competition. There are better scopes out there but they are expensive.
I have a 15 year old 611 and it's still a good scope today.
I use 1-5 ratio of 100% lanolin oil and 99% isopropyl alcohol with no problems with mixing or separating. 1-4 ratio is a little too tacky.
Dehydrated alcohol is needed because the lanolin oil will not mix with the watered-down lower percentage alcohols.
NOW Lanolin - Amazon
99% Isopropyl -...
Here is some interesting little known history of the Springfield M1A NM. From 1974 for over 20 years they were made in Columbus, GA by Glenn Nelson’s shop. I'm fortunate to own one of Glenn's personal rifles and met Glenn and Hook several times over the years. Both are true legends.
From M14...
Usable barrel life can be maximized by how it's made and how its used. Using powders with a lower heat potential, using friction reducing coatings such as moly or HBN and not shooting every shot at the maximum charge level all help to get the longest usable accuracy out of a barrel. I have...
