The receiver, and trigger housing is all that is Ruger:

Thoughts?

Sully Stock immediately comes to mind...

I've used WipeOut. It works better with their accelerator. I brought a .270 back to life. At about 800 rounds, its groups started to open more and more. I just started to work for a gunsmith and he told me to try it. I was amazed by the amount of copper flakes that came out on those patches. I spent...

My first AR started there (all DPMS parts):
Stripped lower
Lower parts kit
A2 stock kit
Lo-Pro upper receiver

All of the rest came later.

Once upon a time ago, whenst I worked for a gunsmith, I did lay my hands upon 2 of those DPMS Stainless lowers. The reason they each came into the shop was that the receiver extension (buffer tube) threads was off just enough to cause the bolt carriers to bind in the tube. Thus requiring the rifles ...

I'll play too. This one keeps the freezer full: http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/WolfTrack_album/Montana.jpg This stays close to me: http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/WolfTrack_album/CarryStuff2.jpg This just keeps me feeling warm and fuzzy: http://...

I finally got out on Sunday. I found this guy wandering all by by his self. I decided to offer him a ride home (he looked so lonely, and scared). I sent him a 140gr Barnes TSX invitation; he just couldn't resist: http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/WolfTrack_album/2012-spike1.jp...

Skim bedding my Rem 700 Sendero did help me: It had opened up to a 1 1/2 inch gun from sub-1 inch with factory loads with Nosler Ballistic tips. I cleaned out a lot of copper fouling and evenly torqued the action screws. There was a SLIGHT improvement. I was working for a gunsmith at the time, so he...

I had a "Black Rifle" once upon a time ago. They don't seem to stay black with me. Did you do the art work on the flowery AR? I would be interested to know how it was designed and painted. It's very distinctive and different. :D I did the DuraCoat while I worked for a local gunsmith. I go...

I had a "Black Rifle" once upon a time ago. They don't seem to stay black with me. The bull barrelled rig shown here is the only one that has spent at least part of its life "black." The OD green lower half has grown up. There are plans for the black lower half. Its fate, whether...

Some companies use thread locking agents. Proper application of a little heat is helpful if that's the case.
YMMV

I do appreciate the HELPFULL responses. These were loaded a couple of years ago, just before the guy moved across country. I finally got around to shooting it this last fall, but have been busy to get around to fixing this. I was looking forward to taking it out to the tree stand this past season, b...

I have approx 70 rounds loaded that the bullets aren't seated deep enough. I loaded them on a friend's Dillon press. He had everything set for a different bullet. Mine sit out too far and engage the rifling. Unloading any loaded rounds requires mortaring the rifle. The easiest way to eject is to fir...
