Only $39 bucks for that stock. Add the $12.50 for the cleaning rod setup, for it. Here's the deal: https://www.larue.com/products/larue-tactical-rat-stock/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Here's the cleaning rod thing... Use a bullet tip to pop the stock off - push in detent, push stock pad down. This is what's underneath: Use the bullet tip in the front of the stock to push those cleaning-rod-holders back, so you can grab them: Then SNATCH 'EM! Here's the setup - use the bullet tip to push the rod sections out of those plastic holders, put the rod together, and screw it into the stock buttpad - and that's your leverage. It's pretty damn smart. $39 + another $12.50 gets that setup. $51.50... Like Van Halen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Thank you, my Brother. Now that this thing is wrapped up - even though I shot the piss out of the cartridge already, in a torn down other gun - I know what the cartridge can really do. I'm excited to get it back out there, in the chassis it was supposed to be in from the get-go. I'll re-zero the scope, if necessary, and do the final setting on the elevation zero-stop. I've got 160 pieces of once-fired Hornady Match brass in the tumbler right now, so those will resized/deprimed, and then primed back up tonight. Saturday, I'll make my initial test loads for the 108 ELD-M projectiles and Accurate 2520 powder. We'll find out what it likes the best, come Sunday morning. After that, it's game fukkin' ON! So, now... After I built that first 18" Grendel SPR-ish rifle, and it knocked my socks off, the 2nd Grendel built was a 12.5". The capability of that thing blew my mind. I'm on the hunt for a 12"~12.5" ARC barrel. Precision Firearms lists one, but I haven't seen anybody else list anything that short yet. If you guys see something like that pop up, before I see it, make sure to let me know. One down, next one is on deck... EDIT - I'm gonna be $472 into the 12.5" barrel that I want, from Precision Firearms. If you guys spot something, spill the beans... This might HURT!...

Last night was a search-frenzy for ANYONE that can do a great, short 6 ARC barrel. They're up there, for sure - and they're local to me.

98Z5V Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 BSF is way over priced, IMHO. I don't need that on a 12.5" gun. Same with McGowen - not for a 12.5". One day, I'll have a 21.75" .260 Rem custom barrel from Craddock Precision, though, mark my words, brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) This fat hooker finally got some paint today. My custom Cerakote mix. I call it SHIIT BROWN. It's amazing in the sunlight... Oh, let's not stop there - lets just paint the Athlon scope, too... It's FINISHED now. Proper dirt colored, and it's right. Everything is good in the world.

Rsquared Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Damn brother. That looks sweet. I may need you to do something like that to my MK12. Or maybe one of those tiger stripe jobs like you did to Larry's truck gun......if I throw enough Jameson's at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 You should do a how-to video of Cerakoting a rifle. That looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
