Well, based on this info, my rifle will be shipping out Monday morning to Kreiger for a new barrel. Funny how people think. I had planned on a piece of aluminum in mine too. :)

I bought a used Remington 700 with the molded black stock for my next custom build. My new barrel will be a different profile than the factory barrel. Can I cut on the factory stock to make it fit or is the thing hollow or filled with foam. I'll probably replace the stock with something more...

Re: Who\'s loading a Warbird Thanks guys. I don't come here real often, I've got a lot on my plate right now but for those who don't remember me or were not here when I started this project, this rifle is a Ruger# 1 stainless that I spent a lot of money on. Of all the things that have been done...

Who\'s loading a Warbird I haven't started loading for mine yet but I wonder if anyone is. What are you using? I plan to use a 200 Nosler partition for starters, RL25, H1000 or ???? Suggestions... Results... Thanks Allen

I\'m back, guess who I am I've been gone a good while. Probably no one will remember me and of course there are those who never knew me. I'm glad to see this board is still up and running and My old buddies Len and Dave are still here I have been out of the shooting sports for a good while...

Oh Dave, I couldn't help but say something here. Such a mental picture your last post created in my mind. Cracked me up. I'll laugh all day about this. Allen

Primetime, you hit it right on the the head. This rifle was conceived as a "hunting rifle" with long range potential. As far as recoil, I know this sucker is going to kick. This rifle is replacing the aforementioned 300 Weatherby that was stolen along with 16 other rifles and shotguns. The 300...

mark300, I prefer the Nosler bullets, the 200 grain partition in particular but since I haven't loaded anything yet for this rifle I am open to all suggestions. I had a Ruger #1 in 300 Weatherby and the 200 was the only bullet it would shoot with the accuracy I wanted but that rifle was not...

For those of you who remember me and my "project" it FINALLY came back home. Over 18 months,,,,,don't ask. For those who don't know, I shipped a NIB Ruger #1 Stainless to "A gunsmith" and had a complete workover done on what is my first "custom" rifle. The trigger mechanism was replaced with the...

Hey Daryll, Yes, I think we may have missed one another or we may be saying the same thing only differently. On the "let's introduce ourselves thread,"I presented myself as a know nothing wannabe that was here to learn. Perhaps that in itself was unclear. It was meant to mean that I am not...

Hello guys, I sent another email, a bit more to the point about my rifle to my smith and I received a reply this morning. Seems as though there was a machine failure in the shop that set my rifle back about a month and it and one other are the first ones to be finished now that the machine is...

Hey guys thanks for the replys. Darryl I don't really follow what you mean about it's up to me to put the bullet and powder combination together. Perhaps I was not clear either. I had Lazzeroni ship cartridges directly to the smith because he tests fires every thing he builds and I had no brass...

Well Guys, here it is another month passed and still no rifle. I Emailed Broad Creek 2 days ago and no response yet. I'm sure this is on the up and up but it's been close to a year now and I still don't have my rifle. He has my rifle, $600, 2 boxes of factory shells, $200, my Leupold 6.5 x 20...

Thanks for the invite Len, glad to be here. I hope my 7.82 Warbird Ruger#1 will be finished this month and then maybe I'll be able to let ya'll know how it works out. My last email from Broad Creek Rifle Works said that it will be ready and shipped at the end of May. I know I've waited a long...
