So i have a local range thats on public land that is pretty heavily used. A while back a local club built nice concrete shooting benches. It only took a few months for them to get shot to shit and destroyed by the masses. I like using this range but its normally a mess. I have access to steel...

So I've finally got to the point I can build out a dedicated reloading space but the space is in my garage. I have a man door, one window, and the obvious garage door. I plan on replacing the crap wood door with window with a security door this week thanks to habit for humanity. But should I...

So I acquired a 6.75" by 18" by 40' beam for a whopping $10. BUT it's pretty heavily weathered. I love the grey wood but its rough and full of splits and splinters. Trying to decide how to finish it. Sand the beans out of it and oil it up. Or dam the top of it and clear epoxy this thing to lock...

I'm in the market for some new boots. I'm on my 2nd pair of reebok rapid response boots with the zip sides. I've been happy with them for the most part but I saw a pair in a guns and tactics article that look interesting and would like to see if anyone can help me locate them. Thank you in...

This is a mildly nerdy question. I am a machinist by trade and love of the job and also have a serious of love of firearms. I'm looking into building a 1911 and 2011 and am curious about hardness of of materials for slides. Its easy enough to start with hard material or harden the stuff I work...

Hello all. I am a machinist with a growing collection of bits of material. I am also an avid firearms enthusiast and have been learning some basic gunsmithing. I have recently acquired a large piece of D2 tool steel. It's about 7.5" by 10.5" and 1" thick. It's in an annealed form I...

As stated I'm trying to find some camo boots that have either a traditional steel toe or a composite. Either is fine. A side zipper would also be nice. I'm still debating on the camo pattern as I am just now replacing all my old tan gear. Looking at either Multi-cam or A-TACS. I think...

Was in a shooting mood so rounded up some stick on targets and set them up on my 100 yard line. The rifle in question is a Savage 93R17 BRJ. Spiral fluted heavy barrel, accutrigger. This guy. All shots were taken on bipod. No rear support from the hood of a truck due to the rough...

I've been doing a bit of work on my old Mauser 8mm. I want to replace the front action screw with a slightly longer one but couldn't find anything that matched up. I dug around and found that the bolt is 1/4-22 whitworth (55*). I need to verify that I have the correct size and find a...

I'm looking for some people in the central Washington area who would like to get together and shoot some. I live near Yakima. It just would make it more worth while to set up the 500 and 1k targets if it wasn't just me shooting at them.

So many Camo patterns so little time. I'm trying to decide on a possible new camo pattern for local varmint hunting and paint job for my rifle. I live in a high mountain desert so desert colors are obvious. I've been wearing one of my sets of DCU's and it works fair. But I'm in an area with a...

I'm curious if there are actions available in 338 Lapua that are under 1k? Obviously in most cases you get what you pay for and I'm looking around for something to possibly start a build in that caliber. I have experience with Mauser 98 actions and really like them for their simple durability...

I have a Millet scope. Its a 6 x 25 x 56mm. I've searched around for a manual for this thing but have been unsuccessful. Is there anyway to determine the proper mag X for ranging? I've heard 10x, 12x for some scopes. Others which have ffp(?) can use any magnification.

I'm new around here so I thought I'd ask a few questions. First off here is my current rifle. It was a gift from my father who got tired of it beating up his shoulder after surgery early last year. It started life as a K98 Mauser chambered in 8mm (.323), Turkish made, approximately 1947...
