Do you think of they would build a custom barrel like what i want that even was designed for my bolt if i send it to them? because i have heard of that before

Hi guys I'm currently building a custom DPMS .308 rifle. For a barrel I'm looking for a 24" bull barrel with fluting and finished in BLACK. Also, maybe even have the end threaded for a break. As far as i can find there is everything but black. I don't like the shiny stainless. Does anyone on...

Hi guys, im looking to buy a stripped .308 lower receiver. It needs to be DPMS compatible and i don't really care what brand it is.

What caliber(s)?

thanks for the response, the numbers that you gave me were some of the most helpful to date. I will not be going with a 45" barrel of course but now realize what i want. Btw, ford

Okay, maybe i will just go with the LM, i still havn't gotten a whole lot of answers on barrels. I have gotten that the bigger the better but what about length? Is 30" going to be better than 28", how about 32" being better than 30", and 34" better than 32". Im just kinda wondering when it stops...

so if i were to go with the AI, would this work: buy lapua brand brass, dont size it, just load and fire. After this i would full length size it or would i be able to just neck size it?

Okay. . . now you have me thinking. I was told by my gunsmith that doing a AI wouldn't be more expensive, just different reamer. What does it take to make a piece of 338 lapua brass in to 338 AI, also, Is the OAL different? My project consists of a DBM and if it is longer what bottom...

thanks, and i was looking at different chamberings and there is a few that i know would beat the LM but i dont want the hassle of converting the brass or in an emergency not being able to find any factory ammo. I know that sounds dumb but everybody that reloads even has to buy a factory box now...

Hi guys, ive been kinda putting a project together in my head for a few days and i was wondering about barrels. Its going to be chambered in 338 lapua magnum. What is the most accurate barrel money can buy? With no regards to mobility and weight what is the best contour for accuracy? At what...

What makes it better

Thank you for all the responses

What would be the advantage of the Surgeon XL over say a Tac 338?

My price quote was done by a gunsmith and that included labor, parts, and shipping. That number did not include a scope or rings. For example: a gunwerks rifle with shipping and a couple bells and whistles will run about $8200. This gun does not come with the best stock and definately not the...

Hi guys, i was just kinda wondering what makes a $6000 long range gun. I was building up my dream gun and kinda adding prices. It consisted of a tac 338, a jewel, a 30" Hart, A mcmillan adjustable, a pain killer brake, and a 30 moa base. All this came to around 3200 dollars. I have seen some...
