    What happened to suppressor legislation?

    I was curious as to what became of the legislation to take suppressors off the NFA/ATF list? Seems like most everything current is state by state basis and the federal level stuff all was posted within a couple days on October 22 and 23. I dont think its honestly going to matter much either...

    AR10 6.5 Creedmoor Build Options

    First things first...Ive never build an AR. I contemplated it before I build my precision rifle, but decided that Id rather have a precision rifle good to 2000 yards or so and then build an AR later. My budget was way over shot, but I like the gun and Im glad I have what I have. That being...

    Reflex/compact sight under 200?

    I'm looking to put a secondary sight next to my 6-24 viper pst. For coyotes, they like to either be really far away or sneak up on you so I'm thinking I'll either put a 45° or side mount on my rings. Here is a good visual of what I'm thinking about. Basically I don't need a super super sight...

    If you could buy a bullpup chassis for your bolt rifle, would you?

    Curious as to whether or not your would buy a bull pup stock if it was available for your gun, was priced around 1000$, and maintained original trigger and bolt handle position

    Finish Options for INSIDE reciever.

    Im working on my savage build still and Im starting the large task of finishing. I plan shooting it first and all that before I put a base cerakote on for protection, but I do want to go ahead and address the inside of the action. I have some nicks and scratches as well as old residue from last...

    Why slings on the side?

    Im thinking about getting some grovtec flush cups at least for the typical sling locations, but I see a lot of people putting them off to the side of their rifle. What advantage does this give? I hunt a lot and ride ATVs around the farm with a gun slung across my back quite a bit as well...

    How do you index action screws when inletting stock?

    Ive looked around the internet and cant seem to find anything on how you actually index the action screws when beginning to inlet a stock. I have found that you should start by doing the action screws first and moving on from there, but nothing about how you actually decide where the action...

    Installing KMW loggerhead in McMillian

    I am getting to the point that im about ready to start my gun build. I have everything except my DBM from Pacific tool and gauge, a couple tools, and devcon 10110. Ive been pondering how I want to do my cheek piece and have decided on an integral piece from KMW. They are priced reasonably, but...

    How do you "work" on McMillian and other fiberglass stocks?

    Ive been slowly buying parts for my gun build and hopefully Ill be able to do a write up all at once if I have the parts there and ready to go. I am, however, going back and forth on stocks over and over. I was going to do a boyds and just make it how I wanted it with lots of TLC and...

    Savage Sear...Bottom converted to top?

    I was searching the internet and realized you can convert savages from bottom to top bolt releases. I was looking and one guy found a top release from numrich. (https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/139590D.htm) Talking about accutrigger here on a 2013 M11 Savage I thought you had to go...

    Pillar Bedding the McMillian way?

    Ive been trying to decide how I want to pillar bed and glass bed my action. The boyds stock I am getting will keep costs down (Im already way over my budget, but I expected as much from warnings given to me previously), so thats why Im trying to figure the best way to do this. For those that...

    Good Hollow Mill for Bolt Handle? Or just use a file?

    I have been looking at adding a bolt knob to my savage 11. Its currently a little on the small side and I find cycling the action with heavy gloves or just doing so quickly without missing the bolt sometimes can be a little bit of a challenge. Being that I dont have a mill and it would be hard...

    Starting up a Gunsmithing Shop?

    This is not something that will happen for at least 10 years or so, but I have been looking into it and thats something that takes a long time to do. I am currently looking at finishing out college and taking a enlist contract for 6 years (8 years w/ training). I farm currently ontop of...

    Glass bedding: How far up barrel?

    Im currently on a LR 308 build off a savage action. So far, its going swell except for the limited time I have to work on it. Ive been pondering about the glass bedding. Im going to use Devcon 10110 to pillar bed the action to the DBM, and then glass bed both components as well to get a rock...

    McMillian A5 vs custom

    I was just looking at mcmillian a5 and realized that they around 350(?) W/o inletting. I can get them inletted I'm guessing for not much because I know they guy pretty well and he just likes to tinker. I would do it, but I don't want to mess up something fiberglass. However, my initial plan...

    Cheek pad/comb-Kydex molded vs adjustable stock

    Im in the slow process of building a gun off a savage 11 action. Im putting a boyd stock on it just because of cost and that way I can afford to do my own work on it. I think Boyds stocks can be great stocks if a person is willing to put the time and effort needed to make them that way like...

    Burris XTR vs Burris Zee Rings

    Im looking for a set of rings on my new build and I need them to be robust, but not military grade robust. I wouldnt care if they were, but that usually means high $. XTRs are aluminum, zees are steel. Zees have polymer inserts so its not steel on aluminum contact at least. However, I dont...

    Loads for long range paper punching? (Transsonic Issues)

    I was wondering what you all have developed as far as long range loads? Ive been reading up quite a bit about things and it seems im not going to be able to keep my bullets from going transsonic with 168 amax and 4064. I want to switch to 4895 and something like a berger VLD or such. I dont know...

    Convince me...Vortex HSLR or PST FFP

    Im looking at scopes right now trying to decide what I want. I have a range between 700-750. Maybe 800 if its worth it. I can get a 2.5-10 PST FFP for 700 or a 4-16 PST FFP for 850 from my dealer. He has a used HSLR 4-16 FFP and I like the XLR reticle for quick hold over. This is 7 times the...

    Putting Bull Barrel in Boyds Stock.

    I was wondering if Boyds stocks are capable of holding a bull barrel. Reason I ask is that with Savages regardless of model 10/11, they inlet for 3/4 inch at end of barrel. That leaves me with roughly 1/8" to remove which isn't a big deal, assuming the stock is wide enough. I realize a bull...
