I have an addiction, I am a home smith that enjoys taking used bolt action rifles and giving them a total face lift. if I can make or fabricate it rather than buying accessories, let it be done.

I also started hand loading for 308 and 243 Ackley Improved about 15 months ago and I really enjoy it as it gets me to the range for less, which equates to more trigger time.

Thanks for having me,

Kirt Dolotina

* Action bead blasted and Duracoated in Matte Black, Pewter & Tungsten
* 26" Shilen Ratchet Rifled 4 lands & grooves SS Bull Barrel 1:8 w/ 11 deg target crown
