Of course I will post some. The actual dirt work is about 90 percent done now. The Board of Directors are meeting this week end to see what kind...

I did not have to modify anything, the cylinder snaps right in and locks up nice as it did with the original barrel. There is a

Back in the 1970’s when I built quite a few PPC pistols in 38 Special, ( I used model 10 frames), I did not use a front rod support. It seemed to...

IPad pic. Here is one looking straight down. http://benchrest.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24315&stc=1&d=1611085846

I got all of the mechanical work done, the pistol will shoot now. I still have some cosmetic work to do, some contouring. But I think I will shoot...

I might add, who ever does the scoring, make sure they know how to use the reticle correctly. Several years back, a Range in Texas had VFS...

I doubt it has ever been an issue. But I do see your point. I say just have the Match, and if anybody happens to shoot a potential record, just...

I have been to two NBRSA Group Nationals at Raton. It’s fanatic facility. At the 1000 rad range, they have a steel full size Buffalo way up on the...

Willy Brown is the expert on how our soon to be VP used the “tools” available to her in order to get ahead.

I have been a lifetime member fo over twenty years, andI still get e-mails that say,.....”Join the NRA”. I have always had mixed feelings about...

I got the barrel mounted, cut the ejector rod clearance, started contouring the barrel. I have to machine and mount an ejector rod lock, and...

We used to use a Bomar Rib atop our pistols. The front sight will be the last thing I figure out. I have several ideas floating around in my head.

Quite a bit of the barrel will be gone when it’s finished.

Great video. I would suspect that the reason they do in house heat treating is because there is very little available in the way of 17-4 at the...

Just an observation, but it seems I see more tuners at Score Shooting Matches than Group.

That video is great, it showed the camming action that forces the balls into position to lock the bolt. I would suspect that this system requires...

All I can speak to is Federal 205 vs Federal 205 Match. I cannot tell the difference in any aspect of performance. That is in both my 30BR and 6PPC.

In the grand scheme of things, a 30BR really does not kick that much in a HV Rifle. But after a Grand Agg, where you might shoot 80+ rounds, you are...

I have plenty of 6PPC, 6BR, and 30BR components.

No. That is why BAT rarely offers Chrome Moly Actions. I think they only have an occasional special run of CM.

Lee, I forgot during my diatribe to say to the OP that if the choice was between chrome moly and 416, I would choose chrome moly.

The vast majority of commercial actions, (factory), are machined from some type of chrome moly steel. That being, a variant of 4140. Those that offer...

Hey, when I turned 70, (that was my max out year), I gladly went down and said.......”show me the money”. Since I have payed up my SS in about 4...
