The frankford arsenal no 8 fits. Using one right now.

You want the accurate 10 round magazine, with the plastic internal clamshell. This splits in two, and they can be milled along their depth to accommodate even longer shouldered cases such as the .204 ruger. The front can also be milled out so the mag will feed any .224 bullet ever made. It virtually gives .308 length.

Pop in the shop Steve. I've built plenty of them, and used too.

6mmBr Rem was the original cartridge. Neck dimensions are different. I don't believe anyone chambers in it these days, apart from one or two of the yank manufacturers.

Yes Scotch, converted plenty. The plastic AICS, which is discontinued, didn't go up far enough into the action to feed. People used to file the edge of the lips, which in turn, weakened them, causing premature failure. I use a DBM which accepts steel AICS mags. Accurate mag make a 10 rd one, which is flawless, or I still convert 10 and 5 rd .308 mags to suit. Simple conversion.

There is a whole host of factory ammo available for the creedmoor, that's not a fair point. Hornady, Norma, S + B , etc are all available here. I believe the guys at Northallerton shooting keep about six brands in, in both hunting and target loads.

A bucket of warm soapy water, and 1200 grit wet and dry. Wet flat the entire stock, then buff it with T cut car polish. It will look better than new. Which is not hard !😂

The improved swede used to be popular with the 1000 yards gang at Diggle a few years ago. It took many scalps I believe. Only fell from favour when the good 7mm bullets started appearing and the .284 win was reborn.

The .260's main drawback has always been its inability to hit the land with a 140 grain bullet, out of a standard short action magazine. If you are shooting jump intolerant bullets, it can be a nightmare to tune. You could always go short throat, but that can compromise case capacity. I've long held the belief, that its better built on a long action. You can then tailor everything to get the best out of the case with a long bullet. I've seen a resurgence in it lately though, with about half a dozen built in the last six months, and one coming in just an hour ago for a .260 barrel. The Creed was designed from the outset to sit a 140 in the lands from a std magazine, with room to spare. I own all three of the smaller cased variants, and to be honest, there is little between them. The creed just seems to do it all, over the others. 6.5 PRC ? I believe l/a and magnum bolt face ?, and only Hornady brass, which is not the best choice for full throttle shooting. I think if I was going to build a top end 6.5 that ran about maximum, it would be a 6.5 x 55 AI, with a long barrel. That would be something with a 7 twist barrel for the heavy 6.5 bullets.

Garry visits me regularly buddy. If you want the rifle, I will hold it for you whilst you get a slot.

He did it some time before FX airguns appeared, on several theoben prototypes. It worked exceptionally well apparently

I've made quite a few now, usually for the AXMC, and will be trying one myself when my new AXMC arrives. In .300NM, What attracts me, is several things. 1. You could use it at Bisley, or other place that won't allow .338lm. 2. There is a huge range of really Gucci .30 calibre bullets in the heavier end available. 3. Lapua make brass for it [ yes, they also make .338] . What surprised me, was, out of the blue one day, they announced 300 NM and .338NM brass.....without anyone really knowing what it was. Wonder why that was ? 😏 Regarding guns, as previously mentioned, mine will be on an AXMC. I've built several .338's lately on the excellent Defiance Deviant action though. These are CIP length, and go perfectly into the AX l/A CIP chassis. Which has an excellent magazine system, and doesn't look like some left over scaffolding.

Josh's is the only carbon barrel i've seen in use, that doesn't play silly buggers under sustained fire. I shot a rifle with one of the foreign barrels fitted last weekend, and once it had got warm, extraction was "interesting" Not something I would use or sell. Apart from Josh's. Their usual use, is on a hunting rifle. Hunters want light weight, and usually only fire one or two shots in a session. Different thing entirely, on a target rifle.

Just spent a very pleasant couple of hours with Pete, when he called in with some goodies. I've now got a couple of these in stock, after giving them a good looking at. This is a superb stock in every way, and the vertical grip, although , initially looking a bit odd, is a stroke of genius. It places your trigger sausage, squarely onto the blade, and allows a straight back, square pull, which can only be good. The grip can be moved backwards and forwards too, accommodating most hand sizes. MDT make some seriously good gear, and have picked a lovely guy to distribute. More power to your elbow Pete. 👍

Fill your profile in please, as per the sales rules.

Fill your profile in please.

Good man. Thats a bargain. The Kidd gear is the best there is. Good luck with your sale.

Fill your profile in please.

I can't make this one, but looking forward to the summer one, with a couple of the diggle chaps. Have fun !

Colin, I shot a 20" barrelled AI for three years and won assorts with it, out to 600 yards. Shot it a few times at 1000, and it coped, but could have done with more length for that range.

I've owned both and customised both. The M2 is a cinch. Loads of bits available, and easily. The M3 is a switchable pump/semi, and good fun. Its a heavier gun than the M2 though. Its main drawback when modifying though, is that, to the best of knowledge, there is only one company in the world [ think it was ducks unlimited in the states ] that does an extended mag tube for it. The tube nut is a different dimeter/thread to all the other benelli's out there, and they were expensive. I think i've bought half a dozen over the years, and they were always good to deal with however. If you haven't shot a benelli, try one first. they are recoil operated, which means if you are slightly built, or haven't the upper body strength to absorb the recoil, the gun will short stroke or stovepipe. It was always a problem when shooting from the hip in PSG. If it has nothing to recoil against, the mechanism doesn't work properly. A lot of that can be tuned out however. A very reliable shotgun when set up correctly, and of course , dont carbon up like a gas opped shotgun does.

First is a .338 Lapua magnum. This is based on a Defiance Deviant magnum action. Fitted with a Bartlien 1-9.3" heavy varmint blank. Threaded M18 x 1 and invisible capped, and a sako TRG brake. Trigger is a calvin Elite, and its sat in a CIP length AI AICS AX stock in black. Next is a Remington. This is a fully blueprinted action, to which I fitted a Bartlien 1-8" blank, and chambered it in .260 Rem. M18 x 1 thread and cap. 20 MOA rail, and all painted in cerakote armour black. Fully bedded into a McMillan M40A1 stock, in their old distressed woodland cam pattern. Standard rem floorplate and follower. Trigger is a trigger tech unit, and it has an ASE Jet-z mod to go with it too. Next is a Bighorn. Another lovely action. This one is fitted with a Bartlien 1-8" twist, and chambered in 6XC. 3 port brake and also a Jet-z mod. All metalwork done in OD green Cerakote. Trigger is a Bix n Andy single stage. The stock is a McMillan A6 .It had to be cut and reshaped for the bighorn ejection port, as they are larger than a remmy. Fully bedded all the way through, to include the Tier 1 floorplate with ambi catch. American Rifle Co magazines, double stack, central feed, optimised for CRF. Paintwork is OD green, AI dark earth, and black cerakote, sat under a satin lacquer. A busy week for finishing. There were a couple of AR's too, maybe pics later.

I dont know Terry. Viking Arms closed my account, because they preferred to deal with rfd's who sell from their front room near me.🤣 I would be surprised if they dont.5/8 x 24 is the most common "larger" american thread.
