+1 Nick is good people. . That's for the cast lead crowd. C

The only reason for me to step foot into Ottomanelli's is to chuckle at the pricing. Along with the high prices, I had a small item on special order. This was just after Sandy so gas was crazy. I got the call that it was in and when I got there was informed that they sold it out from under me. When I bought my M&P, I was at GFH trying it out. We stopped into the big "O's" for a chuckle. They had the same model M&P for $150 more than I paid out the door. I'm just not a fan. C

Nothing too fancy. It's my Ruger M77 Varmint/Target in .308. I've shot it t0 100 and, it's better than me (which isn't really saying much). I've got to get behind it a bit more in the near future. C

Mina. If you need help building a lower, PM me. We're probably close by enough that I can help. It's really easy and fun. C

Love my Sorel's when the weather gets cold. Mine are... 25 (sweet Lord I'm getting old)years old and still kickin'. C

Somewhere outside of NJ, where it's useful.

I know that on mine attaching a light is not a problem. If you're in the north jersey feel free to swing by and take a gander. See if you dig the feel and weight/balance. C

I went with the YHM Todd Jarrett setup. 15" rail on a 16" barrel. Target crown. Shoots, handles and looks great. I was looking for a "Do-All" gun and this is as close as I could come.

I would bet that they test 100% of bolts given this policy. They also play on a different scale than you and I. C

Anything pushed beyond is reasonable limits is going to have a shorter useful life. Guns, cars, condoms. Doesn't matter. Everything has a finite limit. If you stress something that hard it just can't last as long. As Ty (MidwestPX) pointed out, there is research to back that up. If you're removing something from a batch, abusing it and throwing it away, different story. The end user is, obviously, not affected. The end user simply benefits from seeing how long the materials can last when abused. They are not being sold a used and abused package of goods.

In speaking with Ty on this stuff, I have to agree with him wholeheartedly. It's weird to me that you would stress anything that hard and expect it to perform for a long time without failure. Stress is cumulative in materiels. C

Ran to Bullethole last night. I was there for about 15 minutes. I picked up 20 rounds and did a quick function check. Rifle ran like a top. I really like it. As an aside, my 223 dies showed up last night as well. Things are looking up. C

Never mind.

Never mind.

Gotcha.

Thanks. Yankee Hill Machine Todd Jarrett extended rifle length, so 15" with a 16" barrel. I'm pretty psyched. C

Welcome back. Good to see you around here again. C

I wound up with a stock walnut stock and a threaded barrel in standard diameter. I. Ant have a can (duh) but put a linear comp on it. Its light, handy, and accurate. Heavy barrels and fancy stocks are cool for "bench work" but standard sized components are MUCH nicer for walking around. I can post a pic tonite when I get home. C

Thank you. Will do. C

What about the 10/22 AR looking thing? I love my 10/22s. So much fun. http://www.ruger.com/products/sr22Rifle/models.html C

I have not. Hoping for tomorrow... On the stock, i'll foam it as soon as I have it Cerakoted. It'll be an indoor gun until then. The scope was mounted that way so I could keep the handguard aligned. A cheap vise if you will. I will move it shortly. I forgot to do so before I took pictures. C

Why "Half-Sy"? Well, I had the lower already. I just built the upper. Had to do a bit of improvising to make the barrel nut git on there, but it all seems to be working well. I'm hoping a range will be open tomorrow, any range that is local. I'd like to put a few round thru her to be sure that she functions. Paint is truly paint. Krylon in fact. I wanted to give it a try to see how I like the color and layout. I do. Now it's time to save a few pennies and give Michael at Tier 1 some business. Maybe a month or so. To those astute eyes, that's why the foam isn't on there, i'll square that away when I'm 100%.

Gun is together. Pics to follow. C

I got it squared away. Thanks all. C

That would be amazing. I will PM you my contact info. I am installing a barrel and rail system. I have a wrench that will work. Thank you.
