    Question for you Marines out there.

    Hey guys, was watching Full Metal Jacket for the 40th time last week. Outstanding movie, we had a former Marine in our Air Force unit in Alaska, He said Boot was exactly like that. We were impressed!. Question that has bugged me since the first time I saw it is this. Why was Joker responsible...

    Gunsmithing 7mm-08 to 7x57AI ?

    The X57 is longer than the -08, so should be no problem. As I am a fan of the -08, I have to ask the rhetorical question.......Why??

    Gunsmithing 18" 300 wind mag

    If you want a short barrel, go with a SA cartridge, just sayin". IMO, magnums are designed to "reach out", you handicap yourself by taking a belted magnum and trying to make it into an ultralite. Flinch WILL become an issue, of this I am certain......Goat

    Most reliable 22 LR pistol

    Definitely NOT the Sig/Saur Mosquito!! 10 round mag, the first 2 always short stroke(Thunderbolts feed flawlessly)the next 8 are good to go.

    .22 LR ammo is back to normal

    None in my part of ND either. The new Scheels in Grand Forks had some when they opened the new store, it lasted about as long as the line, a week later they had Shorts, they lasted 4 days, I got 4 boxes. I haven't seen a box of 22 shorts in 20 years up here, or longs for that matter, and I...

    Has anyone seen this before on there brass?

    I would have to agree with the rough chamber. It just missed the polishing step, Chamber should be OK, or you would know it by now, just have it checked with a chamber guage. Goat

    Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...

    Don't forget the 270. Made a caribou kill at 600 yards with a 270 on the north slope of Alaska. My long range odyssey started with the 270, and it was accurate to boot! I now have a 7mm-08 and a 7mm mag. There are so many calibers to choose from..........and so little time. LOL! Have fun.
