Cetme .308 Project

Here we have a Century Arms Cetme rifle. This rifle was purchased as a project and like all the reviews on the net about Century Arms it's a crap shoot whither you get a good rifle or not. Well this one turned out to be a pretty good one. The factory finish wasn't that great, the but stock was cracked and the actions was so tight and dirty that it was almost impossible to work. I completely disassembled the gun and within the next 4 hours I was covered with grease, grime, and oil. The head space on the rifle checked out to be right in the middle of the tolerances so I was happy about that. These rifles from Century have been known to have false head space, as in they grind down the bolt just enough to show a correct head space. I then started the work of lapping the action. Now a person who doesn't lift weights all day can work the action. The trigger is a Two stage trigger that like the rest of the gun was dirty and felt like a 20lb pull. Cleaned the trigger pack up and polished it and now I think that I can live with the trigger pull. I have started the refinishing project on this rifle and when it is done it will have a custom camo finish. I've only put three rounds through it but it functioned beautifully. Once the gun is completed I'll post another picture and then this bad boy will be up for sale. 

Custom Ruger 10/22

Here is a custom Ruger 10/22. With everything that is out there on the market, a person can really go crazy with building one of these things. I started by doing a complete action job making sure that everything was smoothed out to a mirror finish. The barrel that I used on this build is from Tactical Solutions, Fajen fully adjustable stock, Power Custom trigger kit with 2lb pull and titanium firing pin. The scope is an off name brand 6-24 x 50. I know, its a little over kill for a 22lr but it looks neat. I could shoot this thing all day and not feel bad. 

The 17 mach 2 conversion

I have to say that the 17 mach 2 conversion for the 10/22 ruger is a great upgrade for anyone who wants a little more out of their rimfire rifle. Talk about a DRT (Dead Right There) round. The 17 mach 2 fires a 17 grain bullet at 2100 fps. Super flat shooting and great for targets out to 100 yards. Infact the designers suggest that you zero the rifle at 100 yards. You mid-range (50 yards) impact is only .6 inches different. Basically whatever your shooting from 1 to 100 yards just aim dead on and pull the trigger.

The rifle in the picture has a Shilen barrel, Volquartson bolt kit, Power custom auto bolt release, Power custom 2lbs trigger kit, custom thumbhole stock, and a Leupold scope base. This is a great rifle. I wished that it was mine!

AR-15 in Overdrive

This is my personal AR-15 which has been an on going project. I'll start with the bottom end and work my way up. I started with the standard DPMS complete lower. I replaced the pistol grip with an ergo rubber grip, took the trigger assembly out smoothed and polished it so it breaks at a crisp 4 pounds. Upper receiver is DPMS as well, with a Bolt Carrier from Daniel Defense followed up by a tactical latch from Model 1. The Barrel, H-Bar, is 16 inches with a PRI compensator and the gas block is an A2 front sight cut down smooth so a person can use a scope. Handguard is from A.R.M.S. with removable rails. I threw a no name bi pod on just for looks. The scope that is mounted is a scope that I purchased for testing to see how well it holds up under use. I was tired of losing brass so I purchased a UTG brass catcher.

The Tactical Lever Action

This was a fun project. Took a Marlin model 336 chambered in 30-30win and completely disassembled it. Every internal part was lapped and polished to the point that you could see yourself in it. The bluing was stripped off and the Aluma-Hyde II was applied. The birch wood stock was sanded and then refinished with Aluma-Hyde II which gave it a synthetic look and feel. New open sights were installed and a fiber optic front sight was installed. This action is so smooth that you can operate it with one finger. The barrel was re crowned with a crown similar to a target crown.
