I have been to the Proof Research site and it is very professional looking. The reference to Mike D. presents him as something of a respectable "inventor", which puts me off some. The guy was not the type of person I would do business with and your site indirectly provides some credibility to...

I am interested for my upcoming build :rolleyes:

My barrels that I sent to ABS - one was a Kreiger and the other was Bartlein - both barrels came back to me w/ stainless brakes. I ordered and was promised titanium. The Kreiger was scrapped. It was replaced by another Gunsmith. The Bartlein sits as is w/ the stainless brake and won't...

supposedly ... stronger, lighter and cooler. I can speak to lighter - significantly so and is the main reason I prefer them. It is a lot nicer lugging a 8 lb rifle in the field than it is a 10 + lb one. This attribute makes the price and hassle worth it to me. The other two attributes...

Don't have ABS do it ... I had a horrendous experience with ABS and you can read that many others have had too. There are several gunsmiths who are approved to use the ABS carbon wrapping process... I recommend that you should definitely use one of them instead.

ABS barrels - don't waste your time or money. I asked and paid for two barrels to be wrapped. Paid the money up front with the promise of a 21 day turn-around. I had to fight with Mr. D to get my barrels back in 3 1/2 months. He wouldn't answer calls or emails - I couldn't even find out if...

Wanna bet that ABS has cleared up delivery problems... Didn't meet a single commitment -- I have a whole waft of stored emails on my PC that would curl hair plus heaps of frustration and angst from unanswered phone calls (answering/messaging service doesn't route properly and/or info on it is...

To me ... it seems like if you make an ad claim that is unqualified, then there shouldn't be later qualifications. The commitment stands on its words and the word of the committer is only as good as the willingness to honor the the commitment. The title of this forum is "buyer beware" and...

What makes you think that BearBasin.com is on the up and up? I just called them about a price match - from their site: "All Trijicon scopes will be shipped free of charge via 3 Day Air!! If you find a cheaper advertised price, we will beat it by $15 Bucks!" They asked me if the product was...

<P>You said price drop in your last post - what is the new price on the IO?</P>

I have a Browning A-Bolt that was rebarreled and accurized by Christensen Arms several years ago. 240 weatherby mag with 2 1/2# trigger w/ 26" select match grade SS Shilen bull barrel. It consistently shoots 1/4" and smaller groups at 100 meters when I do my part. It has dropped every thing...

Lightvarmint, Riflescope on a handgun? How do you shoot these handguns - always from a bench? I have 2 - 14" Encore barrels that were recently built by Bullberry Barrel Works with the Holland Quick Discharge brakes - 7mm08 and 300/221. Have scoped the 7mm08 with a handgun scope, but...

I was wondering about using this powder in my 6mm AR turbo improved -- basically a 6.5 Grendel necked down with the shoulder pushed out and angle changed to 40 degrees. I heard that the burn rate was too fast, but if you are using it in a .243 Win then that probably isn't true. Too hot or...
