Having owned Boyds stocks, Boyds actually already removes material in all of the "usual places", so that's not super helpful. Here's a picture of the under-barrel channel on an At-One

I'm looking to hook my Marlin 925 up with a Boyds At-One stock. Problem is, the rimfire league I shoot in caps the weight of the rifle at a strict 7.5 lbs, optics included. My rifle sans current stock weighs in at exactly 4lbs 7.5oz. The Boyds website lists the rifle as weighing "approximately 3...

I did do a search on the forum before posting, but most of the threads on this subject were from years and years ago. I'm looking for a small safe that will be placed in a nightstand drawer. I'm not concerned about burglary or fireproofness, but am very concerned about kids getting access...

I've decided I'm going with Zach's original suggestion of a Novak front cut, 1911 milspec rear cut. Deciding factors were: 1. Less material removed in back - I dunno how much the Makarov has to spare, and don't want to mess anything up... though people have obviously mounted Novak sights on...

Looking on Midway or Brownells, though, there is a massive selection of Novak-style sights. So maybe it'd be worth it going that route. Ah, decisions, decisions :D

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I read that the Novak front dovetail is actually the same dimensions as the 1911 milspec rear dovetail (.330" x 65 deg)? So theoretically, the gunsmith shouldn't even have to change bits to do something like that? I like your idea, as this isn't a...

So I have a Makarov pistol on which I want to replace the factory rights (they're rudimentary). I thought that dovetails for pistol sights would have some kind of industry standard, but as I'm now discovering, that's just not the case. So: what kind of dovetails should I have cut? Novak seems...

I'm looking to get into reloading, but don't have a lot of space. I really really like the concept of using a Black and Decker Workmate and building a custom top for it because I'd be able to fold it up and stow it, unlike, for example, the Lee reloading press stand or similar. However, I've...

I have a shooting range on my property. Well, I have a backstop and marked distances from the backstop. One of the things that would make this "shooting range" a lot more convenient is if there was a table on which to set equipment / shoot from. I was thinking of getting one of those plastic top...

Yeah, I think it would be much more useful for burglars to know which houses DON'T have any firearms. Except that too many of the anti-gunners (I mean politicians) employ armed bodyguards.

Cheaper Than Dirt has announced that it is suspending online firearm sales on its Facebook page. I propose an indefinite boycott of that company until they change their policies.
