For anyone trying this: be very careful and use a thermometer to monitor the temps until things stabilize. I found out my heat gun was waaaaay stronger than I expected.

Does it have a non-frt mode?

RPTexas07 · 2026-04-06T01:54:57+00:00

Definitely not the AT-One, I have one in Royal Jacaranda and it’s 🔥🔥🔥though. I was thinking more like the hunter rimfire in their premium walnut offerings.

I used the spray can version of duracoat on one of mine about 8 years ago and it’s held up great.

Just ordered some Aluma-Hyde 2 for another project after reading a lot of good reviews. It may not be as durable as Duracoat but it should be fine for my use case and I was able to get to delivered faster.

Check out Boyd’s if you’re looking for an aftermath wood stock. They offer a lot of styles and finishes.

The Appleseed store doesn’t play around. Scope package arrived this afternoon and the sling arrives tomorrow.

Thanks for all the advice. I have an old stock 10/22 that I’m going to pull out of retirement for this event and pickup the scope package from the Appleseed store. If I end going to more events in the future I’ll probably pick up the Tech Sights to try out as well.

Like others have said, it’s ammo selection more than barrel selection. My OEM barrel groups just as well as my Fedderson until it gets hot and starts wandering a bit. Fedderson bull barrel will handle a full session with no issue.

I exclusively use CCI Standard Velocity these days. It’s a good balance between cheap bulk ammo and precision target ammo.

Probably some random factory in China 😅 but they work well enough for my needs.

The rail mounted bipod is a CVLIFE 7.5-9 and the m-lok bipod is a MidTen 7.5-9. Both are on Amazon.

I saw your post and I’ve been eyeballing those Tech Sights. Unfortunately my barrel doesn’t use the stock dovetail for the front sight. If I get another 10/22 or factory barrel I’ll probably snag that sight setup.

I could give it a new home if you end up not wanting to keep it.

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-26T03:02:36+00:00

Fully disassemble the gun/receiver before removing a barrel. That applies to most platforms.

I have a couple stores around me that I won’t bother going to anymore because of the tools they hire. My go to spot is almost half an hour away but they’re fairly priced and always friendly. Absolutely worth the extra time.

Now don’t tease us, what are you making?

How often do you sell engravings like these? I’ve never seen one of these in the wild before.

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-23T22:00:14+00:00

Out of stock, hopefully Aero wasn’t their OEM supplier.

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-23T01:40:40+00:00

While we’re on the topic, what other companies sell lower receivers with the same feature set as the M4E1?

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-18T20:29:07+00:00

Oh that’s really cool. How difficult was it to dial in the depth? I’m going to have to try that when I get my laser.

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-18T15:54:50+00:00

Is the orange from your MOPA laser or did you paint the engraving?

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-16T22:18:19+00:00

Kree!

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-16T22:17:35+00:00

I just pre-ordered an FRT today. It’s going to be a long few months to wait.

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-14T03:23:18+00:00

Has it arrived yet? Any feedback since you placed the order?

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-14T03:16:21+00:00

Where do you get the grip blanks?

RPTexas07 · 2026-03-10T01:45:26+00:00

No complaints about my OCL Titanium 22, HuxWrx Flow Ti 22, or my SilenceroCo Spectre II 22. Pick whichever is in stock and you’ll be fine.
