    who makes the replacement safety for the CZ 527?

    David Gentry makes one, but it's a big time enhancement, not a drop in. www.gentrycustom.com sorry, my mistake, it's the CZ550

    257 Roberts

    Probly one reason there arent more manufacturers making the 257 Roberts is the case length is about halfway between 243 Win/308 and 270/30-06. Getting it done right with new action and barrel would be $3k + at New Ultra Light or Rifles Inc (You gota watch the +) and not much less at an...

    Steyr bolt action help please

    As 106rr says, Steyr has problems with the feds. Might be associated with a sale to Iran in 2003-4 of 800 firearms for "law enforcement". The Steyr Mannlicher line of wood-stocked hunting rifles were available as special order items from WalMart for a while, ending I think in 2006. (IMO, at...

    Do you build rifles or just buy them?

    Pity about Bishop's unavailability. The only one I have is long in the tooth and has to be replaced. Guess I will use it with some Bondo as a pattern for a high grade blank. Sorry to divert the thread.

    richards microfit rifle stocks????

    Boyds sent me one of their Remington 700 "virtually inletted" JRS stocks in plain walnut. Mine was ordered from their existing inventory. Received it about 10 days after ordering. Very smooth job with the curves mostly where they should be and straight lines mostly straight. Only problem was the...

    want input for new custom rifle

    I had a Montana 1999 built at a one man shop for just over $2000, including shipping, scope mounts but no scope, backup iron sights, bead blasted s/s, and Boyds laminated stock. Had an A-Bolt given pretty much the same treatment at a nationaly advertised shop, cost 50% more. Very happy with...

    Best place to get a Mauser action?

    I have bought VZ 24 actions from smiths for $125 to $200 or so, depending on what work (trigger guard thining, etc.) has already been done. These can be kind of rough looking, and they will require a lot of work (usually by the smith who sold it to you, I think they see it as a loss leader). But...

    Best 22 LR Bolt Action

    +1 for the CZ 452/453, though my 453 topped the $500 limit by $15.

    Winchester 70 safety question

    +1 for having a gunsmith do it. Probably the best factory safety ever, but they can fail to cycle right- whether due to amateur tinkering, dirt, wear or whatever. Besides being made to work smoother and more dependably, they can also be improved as far as provision for gas flow is concerned. I...

    Williams Firearms Trigger Guard

    Williams has a pretty good reputation in the custom rifle community, based in part on their VP's active participation/marketing on another gunboard. My view is that (1) Dremels have no place in your modification and (2) Williams ought to modify your guard and re blue, or otherwise make you whole.

    Difference between "sporterized" and "bubbified"?

    Great looking 96, cracked. My own has some plastic wood, an armorer's mismatch (bolt a few digits off from the rest of the action) and some other pimples. Probably, if I finish all the VZ 24 actions and other cats and dogs waiting for my attention, I'll give the 96 a new safety, barrel, and...
