Would like some more info, is it just gunsmithing, do they sell guns, ammo etc and if so what's the selection like?

You can see more info on him here.

Dave has numerous used commercial rifles for sale and a small selection of ammo. He does transfers and gunsmithing.

Thanks for the heads-up on Dave. I just had him install a 24" fluted to swap out a 16" bull and add a bipod. Really nice guy and great (quick while reasonably priced) service.

You need a much longer handgard, other than that nice setup.

Thanks.

I asked Dave about that and he said it wouldn't be an issue and even thought it looked pretty cool since it reaches out to the bipod when it's folded. I'm about to replace the scope with a much longer one, which will reach out to the same spot too. Trifecta.

I've been out to 385 yds on steel with my 16". Once I get this barrel broken in, this one is going out to 600-800-1000.

If anything that rail should at least cover the gas tube, wouldn't take much of a hit to bend or damage it.

I checked out the website, as i'm kinda local.
Looks like a decent selection of brass and reloading presses.
I'm gonna stop out sometime.
