Have a bunch of 8mm I think I'll start working on. Thanks for the info.

I used to work at a powder coat shop. When this first really came on the scene, I went to contact the shop. The owner always liked doing unique projects and was always on the look out for new...

Don L....love it

I agree. I love the rifle, love the caliber, and the mating of the platform with the platform. I would love to consider it my everyday grab at a omens notice rifle. Enough that if an aftermarket pin...

I've seen a lot of the vids. Which was why it spruced me Springfield did what they did.

Really narrowing it down to 25-06 due to not wanting to get into the complexity of shorter rounds such as .308. Although I'm liking the creedmore, this will most likely be the first of many builds...

Thanks for summing it up..."just because".

Re: barrel
I'm looking at a project gun with a heavier profile barrel than factory and was hoping there has been some out there that has fitted the stock with such (tips, hints, and rants).

I'm looking for reviews and opinions on Archangel stocks. Pros and cons mostly. Especially with the box mag mods and barrel fitting.

Part of the idea with this project isn't about buying a out of the box rifle because their available...its more of a "can I do it?" project. Yes, I'll do what I can myself. What it can't do I'll pay...

It may be a concern with no merit, but as far as an after market firing pin as mentioned above, or tuning the shoulder on the factory pin....and considering it's free floating, would the be an...

Agreed that there's a lot of good advice. I'm in a similar situation as the original post, not quite so many years in, but I think I'll be reading this several times as I contemplate my next move.

Although I grew up with what some now call a pepper mindset and family (when you live through old time PA winter storms...you tend to have to "be prepared"), some of the above links are helpful when...

Okay, think I've narrowed it to 8mm, 25-06, 6.5 creedmore, or 6.5x47 Lapua.leaning toward .25-06...I'm hearing it's gaining momentum in LE and military.

Haven't sporterized my Enfield...but man does it shoot true. I'm also working on sporterizing a K98 mauser. It was already sported..but the bore is in bad shape. Check out the thread...

Anybody have any luck just lubing the firing pin better?

Thanks for the info. Once I get my equipment back up and running Im going to try this....

Newbie question...how does the shot fair against the riflings? Should a person be worried about any damage/risks?

Definitely thanks for the info. We'll see what Ruger says monday. But I will check out the aftermarket pin.

Will definitely check out of curiosity...even if I do send it back.

Ok. Found some posts...lol...it'd help if I just looked at the thread list. So if anyone is reading this...I'm putting a call into Ruger monday.

I'm sure this has been posted on here somewhere, but a search didn't give me an existing thread.

I have a mini 30 model 5853. I've tried several brands of ammo, Tula, Wolf, PPU, Winchester, hand...

Not sure on length. I'd have to measure it. Unfortunately due to work I did not get to retrieve it from the gunsmith yet. When I do...I'll post pics and some details. General idea...mid to long...

All good suggestions s. I'm going to have to do some real comparisons on ballistics and such.

Not to argue your recommendation, which i have also thought of and kept on the table for the moment, it had already been sporterized when i got it. I've had it in storage for about 12...
