Thanks for that input. Oh well. That would have been nice to be able to use a bunch of new DPMS mags sitting around in a box. lol. I studied this some more to learn that evidently magpul is making a PMAG polymer magazine that will fit inside any M5 style bottom-metal that takes an AICS...

Is there a flat bottom made to take my DPMS 308 magazines? I have a bunch of 308 DPMS mags on hand. If there is nothing made to take DPMS, then can you name me a brand bottom metal that will take other brand $25-$35 magazines? I don't wish to buy $70 AIC magazines if I don't have to. Photo is...

A whole lot of good information and debate to weigh and compare. I currently own a couple of Eotechs for my AR15's which have worked fine, & I like them. That said, I think I'm in familiar territory if I transfer right over to something more like the open "reflex" style Bushnell or Vortex Venom...

Guthwine, shoobe01, 308Pirate, Thank you for your input. Your opinions were well taken. UpsideDown, RLandry, What is so hard to understand? Guthwine, shoobe01 & 308 Pirate had no comprehension problems, and neither did all 5 guys who replied to my same question elsewhere. I obviously...

What are the main reasons for choosing a red-dot sight over a reflex sight? The reflex has a compact profile and larger field of view. I am wanting it for an 18" shotgun, or maybe for an AR15. Both are small and will fit onto a long arm. I know the reflex sight will fit better onto a pistol...

I see this sought of thing posted all the time, and really don't see how folks like you that say it really believe it. I don't believe you're really that blind, and really think it's more a case of frustration, negativity, and defeatism causing us to attack and eat our own. While the Republican...

I haven't been back in sniper's hide for some time......because If I recall, it seems there was a websight alteration at the time which really messed everything up for everybody.....and I gave up on this place back then. (For starters,I remember that we member couldn't sign into the websight it...

Hodgdon and pawprint, I was desperate and ran this question on another websight forum as well. What you say is exactly what I read there as well. The shape of the bullet and ogive in relation to the OAL and bearing surface of the neck all makes a difference. I have wasted $30 on these...

Speer .357sig Gold Dot Bullets are out of stock, so I am using Rem 124grJHP bullets with once fired Speer cases for range practice. I'm using a Lee factory Crimp die to put a really gorilla strong crimp on the bullet to hold it in place, AND STILL, THE GLOCK 33 SLIDE PUSHES THE BULLET INTO THE...

I found this youtube video soon after opening this thread. I think the method here will be sufficient for what I want to do, considering it's a carry pistol and not a target gun. Thanks gents for the encouraging input. http://youtu.be/qoSI_O3Oc3w

I was thinking I might want to shorten a barrel that hangs out an inch past the slide on my 9mm pistol. I would carefully and squarely cut off the excess barrel length with a dremel wheel. But the question is IF I COULD FIX THE CROWN WELL ENOUGH so it will still fire good groups. (??) I've...

I was wondering if anybody here has ever used the AICS magazines for the 284 Winchester Cartridge in a long action. I'm going to be seating the 162's or 180's far out of the case and was planning on going with a Rem 700 long action, but want to be sure of reliable feeding first.

It's not unusual for many of us to want to fire accuracy groups using a trigger set at 1lb or less. Not being able to to put a good ole $235 Jewel trigger in a Tikka, is just another reason why folks are hesitant to walk away from that which has worked well here in the USA for the last 60 years...

I'm wanting to refinish an old Reminton 700 wood BDL stock, and try to duplicate the original high gloss finish on it. The problem with automotive paints like PPG is I would have to buy like a gallon of it for over $100 when I'm only needing like about 8 ounces of paint. I can get 8 ouncres of...

Has anybody out there ever gutted out their wood short action stock to convert it to a long action? This is a sample photo of the kind of 40x style stock that I bought for $60 shipped on GunBroker some years ago. But it is really beat to heck with a chopped butt stock. I like the heft and...
