Having worked with the MTU, USA Soldier Systems program office and The MARCOSYSCOM Rifle Squad Program Office, I can say that these decisions are not always made by the guys who know better. Often in the acquisition process, the guys doing the testing and evaluation give their recommendations...

If you don't want to spend on a custom seater plug, make your own. Lapping paste on a bullet and lap the plug to better fit the ogive. I did that to eliminate the ring on my VLD/ELD style bullets and got much better results in maintaining acceptable variance in COAL. Purchase a new plug for your...

From my experience and knowledge, a gunsmith who charges above average prices for standard practice work- barrel work, stock work, triggers etc, will not be in business very long when the short list of clients who can afford him runs out. I know a lot of good, top level shops have huge waiting...

FS: Cooper 22 MV .308 Like new Cooper 22 Montana Varminter in .308. Only the three proof rounds fired at the factory have gone down the barrel. I have the original box, proof target, owners manual. I will throw in a set of Talley 30mm rings. $1100.00 OBO. This is a very nice rifle but I have 3...

Did this with my stock. Cut off the recoil pad with a band saw- glue would not let go when frozen. Added # shot until I got the right weight. Just cover with duct tape as you adjust the weight. When I got to where I wanted it, I mixed the shot into spray foam and let it expand to fill the hole...
