I have a take-off Ruger American barrel in .308 and the LEFT HAND plastic stock originally on the rifle if anyone needs them. Both brand new.

I don't know about the brakes breaking scopes deal. Kirby puts brakes on almost all his custom rifles in the Allen Magnum calibers, and never heard anyone complain about broken scopes. He put one on my Model 70 300 WinMag he customized and have had the same Mark IV on it for 20+ years.

And now that I've teased you...my old buddy Kirby Allen built this for my granddaughter.

Don't forget all the child slaves digging in the cobalt mines. The same folks who are appalled at the very thought of slavery 200 years ago are just hunky-dory with it today as long as it lets them virtue-signal with an EV. And, also, being heavier, should the greenies get their way and they...

Mike Lee and John Kennedy refer to our form of government as a Constitutional Republic all the time. And I agree the formation of our nation was divinely guided, but I fear he may have turned his face from us, as he turned against Israel so many times when they turned away from him, and...

Well, we whacked the tips in on our HHTs with a plastic mallet, so I guess I wonder how they could deform just from recoil in a magazine? I'm not smart enough to calculate the physics, but common sense says no.

Paul Hampton, the guy at Country Custom Metalworks knows all the tricks on the forearm hangers. I thought I had access to a Hagn action (fell through) and he was confident about the build.

I have a friend who shoots a CZ .223, and, AFAIK, has never cleaned with anything other than a boresnake, and he still hits prairie dogs at 400 yards. I clean more often but am probably overdoing it.

Take a look at the No.1 in the gallery. Obv he did more than just rebarrel. He has a Model 70 of mine right now. https://countrycustommetals.com/

Looking at these over the weekend, and looks like the 90s are in twist rates for copper bullets. While I like free choice, the writing is on the wall in Europe. Having said that, the Varmint 6.5 Creed in 8 twist with a set trigger looks pretty sweet. My wife has an Varmint 85 in .204 with a...

Welcome from Montana.

BTW, looks like Precision is having a pretty good deal on brass in 6.5 CM; Lapua and Peterson, large primer, and Alpha, small primer. Usually go with Lapua, but been hearing good things about the others. Thanks much.

The IDF guy was posting on X (twitter). First thing I asked was, since the Israelis are under constant threat, why isn't every able-bodied required to own a firearm and have training. There are roughly 9.8 million Jews in Israel, so figure maybe 3-5 million military age men and women. Said I...

Nope.
