But what Mike D. has to do to protect himself and his patents, is a completely different thing from what Joe Random Gunsmith like Evl would have to concern himself with, when combining commercially available parts. About the only thing Mossberg could really do to keep people from using their products in a way they don't approve of is to not sell them to anyone in the first place. With Mike they have an agreement that spells out exactly each party's obligations, so it's apples vs. oranges.

At some point you have to consider the source, and whether you want to get your info from a gun publication that also does marijuana reviews: http://www.recoilweb.com/guns-weed-and-states-rights-137696.html High times at the range, indeed. Not to mention it wasn't that long ago they were editorializing against civilian ownership of military style firearms.

Godd rifle build idea?
netpackrat replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Part of the reason those guys can blow away the average gunsmith, is the average gunsmith is trying to make a living at it, and can't afford to play perfection games. But I'm sure you know that! -

Dremels don't ruin guns, people ruin guns. It is no different from any other tool; it can be used for good, or it can be used for evil. -
Godd rifle build idea?

Nobody said anything about a .338 Lapua build until you brought it up. You don't build a rifle (or usually anything else) to save money. You build a rifle to get the rifle you want. If an accurized ought six is what floats his boat, then so be it. I would take the same action and have a .35 Whelen built on it, because that's MY idea of a great custom rifle. The fact that I could BUY a factory built Remmy in Whelen is largely irrelevant... Besides getting exactly the barrel quality and contour desired, the twist can be specified, so the resulting rifle will be optimized for the actual -

Maybe build it in something cool like .35 Whelen or .338-06. -

Another Rem 700 build question
netpackrat replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
On my Model 7 300 Blackout build, I first tried PTG bottom metal for AICS magazines, and I could not get it to feed at all. But that issue may have been specific to the Blackout round. I ended up with the factory Remington parts, which at least worked. If you are going for aftermarket bottom metal for detachable magazines, your stock will most likely have to be custom inletted to fit it. Get a decent trigger if you don't already have one. I used a Timney which I have been happy with. Also, have your muzzle threaded 5/8-24 in case you decide to get a can later. That is the most common -

Another video showing how it is supposed to work. The owner/captain of this vessel is a good friend of mine: Asked him once about knowing where to find fish... He said, "You can follow the crowd, but the crowd is wrong. And even if the crowd is right, then you have to share with the crowd." Seemed to have applicability beyond fishing. -

Yeah a lot of people don't realize how much power a seiner has, or how fast they can move when the skipper wants to. I have heard of at least one that was powered by a gas turbine. -

Brown bear meat is not considered edible up here and you are not required to salvage it by the game regs. Black bear meat you are, and some people seem to actually enjoy eating it. -
Bedding and pillars?
netpackrat replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I glass/pillar bedded my wood stocked Remington Model 7 years ago. It is, as Evl stated, a messy pain in the ass. It also solved the problems I was having with that rifle, so in the end it was well worth doing. The factory wood stock was warped and pressing on the barrel, throwing my point of impact off by well over a foot at 100 yards, which caused me to have to crank in a bunch of adjustment at my scope and irons. After the bedding, I was able to take all of that adjustment out because it shoots basically to boresight now. Interestingly, grouping size was not changed either way. Ess -

The NRA needs to stay the hell out of court cases, because for the most part they fuck things up like they tried unsuccessfully to do with Heller. They are simply not any good at that aspect of the fight. On the other hand, SAF needs to stay the hell out of lobbying elected officials because THEY are no good at THAT. Or has everybody forgotten already about SAF/Alan Gottleib's attempted sell-out post Sandy Hook? The bottom line is that the NRA tries to do the best they can with what they have to work with. Their strength is not that they can buy legislators, because they simply don't h
