    Mossberg 590A front sight change

    Before I unintentionally ruin the standard bead front sight on this rig I thought to ask whether anyone has tried to remove one. If so, how to go about it? My purpose is to install a brighter front sight that would be more visible in dim light at night inside the house. Which leads me to...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Ok, I recognize that the answer is better fundamentals, full stop. But this is what I see. Go to any range, see a bunch of AR15s on the line, and for most of the shooters it is all they can do to put their rounds inside a 12" diameter target center at 100 yards. It doesn't seem to matter...

    AR15 magazine recommendations

    I am interested in trying some 10 round magazines from manufacturers other than Magpul. They'll be running in Compass Lake lowers, if that makes any difference. Have had some trouble with Pmags recently (irregular feed lips) and would like to see what other options experienced shooters...

    Need some advice, occasional failure to extract JP AR10

    Need some diagnostic help on this situation. Took this rig, in 6.5 CM, to the range the other day after it had been sitting in the safe for about a year. Only 350 rounds through it. All JP factory parts including the Silent Captured Spring standard for this rifle. Bobro one piece mount with...

    Scope advice for NRL22 competition rifle

    I don't shoot NRL22 matches, so need some advice for a friend who is building a rifle for his son. He has a Vudoo barreled action, Triggertech Diamond trigger, believe it is mounted in an American Rifle Company Xylo chassis, -- so a nice rig. Plan is for the boy, now 14, to grow into it, and...

    Difficulty in seating/removing Vudoo and L3 mags

    Running two Vudoo actions, one in an American Rifle Company Xylo and one in an MDT Elite chassis. I find both Vudoo and L3 10 round mags very difficult to seat and more difficult to remove. Once they are properly seated, both feed just fine, but extracting them is a project and not something...

    Extended mag latch necessary for Vudoo magazines?

    Recently installed a Vudoo barreled action in an American Rifle Company Xylo chassis. The mags don't feed reliably, the bolt routinely rides over the top of the exposed round. I don't have any history with Vudoo actions so this is new to me. It seems obvious an extended mag latch would fix...

    Tuners on AR15 barrels

    Interested whether anyone has tried a tuner or tuner/brake on an AR15 barrel, using commercial ammunition. Helps, hurts, no difference? I am shooting a JP with a 16 inch barrel, and am not going to reload for it. It will shoot 1 MOA at 100 yards when I am on my game, but wondering whether...

    Carry handle optic mount

    I am looking for a carry handle mount for an A2 style AR15 upper, this one built by Compass Lake. Research thus far has led me to A.R.M.S., but constantly out of stock so no bueno. My thrashing around on the Interweb hasn't coughed up only one other supplier, Monstrum Tactical, which might...

    Safe recommendation

    Add bookmark #1 Would appreciate any recommendations of a safe that can hold up to four scoped rifles, sized to fit in a bedroom closet. I have an AmSec safe, but need something for an upstairs bedroom suitable to prevent kids getting access. It doesn't need to meet a huge TL standard...

    AR barrel tuning experiment

    The question before this august body is this: is there some kind of add on part, wrap, weight or other material that I can add to a New York state legal AR barrel to improve group size with commercial ammunition? The rifle is a stock JP rig with a 16 inch, 1:8 twist street legal barrel with no...

    Ruger PCC loose charging handle

    Wanted to solicit advice about the charging handle on a Ruger PCC 9mm. I have it torques down to 65 inch lbs as Ruger suggests, but the handle still walks loose after 50-60 rounds through the rig. The shooting pattern usually is 2 rounds in succession on a target, then 2 on the next one, etc...

    Storing Pelican cases

    I have a set of Pelican 1750 rifle length cases that are going into storage, now that the rigs are at their destination. Odd question: do I store them latched closed, left slightly open, left wide open? Have seen elsewhere on the Hide some concerns about the closed cases being moisture...

    Shipping ammunition

    Need a recommendation for a commercial shipping outfit to get 2000 pounds +/- of ammunition from California to New York. Could use UPS but would prefer to do it all in one throw rather than endless packages. Ideally the shipping company would collect it as well. The ammunition is privately...

    PCC set up questions

    Recently bought a JP GMR15, have a Holosun 510C to put on it, and once I get some practice behind me am intending to do local USPSA competitions. Which leads to: any advice on zero distance for that likely use? My dive into the rabbit hole on the web comes up with 15 and 25 yards as most...

    Shotgun side saddle

    Bought a Mossberg 590A1 and looking to add a side saddle. Would prefer not to cover the pins on the receiver if possible, simply out of convenience. My first shotgun, so no experience or preference as to polymer, nylon or other options. Any advice, recommendations, or links to additional...

    Ranges on Long Island, New York

    Will be spending some time on Long Island over the next year and wanted to ask for any recommendations for rifle and pistol ranges there. I shoot PRS matches and am getting involved in IDPA and USPSA, so suggestions for either or both are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Forensic assistance requested re "shots fired" in Chicago

    A friend sent this article to me. The link includes a video in which at time stamp 13 seconds or so and running to time stamp 18 seconds or so can be heard 16 "shots fired." As you will see in the article, local patrol cops called this in, as, not surprisingly, did a few people who live in the...

    Rifle Scopes Magnifier, mount recommendation

    Trying to figure out, but confused by the data on the web sites, this question: which 3X magnifier and mount will properly align with a Trijicon MRO on a Trijicon 1/3 co-witness mount? Been through the rinse cycle once and still can't make sense of the options. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
