Just go buy a roll of Scotchlight white (or red or blue or orange) tape 3" wide and apply it to a piece of plywood. Multiple strips can make the target as big as you want.

Put the action in the freezer overnight, then warm the receiver up with a heat gun where the barrel is inserted. Cold-shrink should loosen the barrel.

Get a stamp with a custom cartouche made, very small, and stamp all six faces in a standard place, including the edges. Better chance it won't be found and ground out. Problem is, once it gets to the scrap yard it's going to be buried under 20 tons of other stolen scrap before the thief leaves...

My favorite BLM target is available in endless quantity: Rocks!

That's wrong. It's stolen property and it remains the property of the original owner no matter what. That's why pawn shops have to fill out police paperwork in many places. If you find something that belongs to you, and you can prove it, you have every right to take it back, and have the police...

I put 240 rounds through it at a gun range in Centennial during a ModArmory night vision demo. Hadn't had time to clean it from the last shoot. Other than an occasional help from the forward assist after changing mags and releasing the bolt, the rifle ran flawlessly all evening with the...

New problem: Last weekend I attended a Carbine Operator Level 1&2 course given by 303 Arms in Denver. Without reservation I heartily approve of their qualifications and abilities. It's by far the best firearms class I've attended, and in 50 years of shooting I've attended many. I'll detail the...

It's true it's not the quietest on the market, it's mostly part of their total signature reduction package and it does indeed reduce recoil, substantially reduces muzzle flip, reduces dust signature and, I found, has an imperceptible effect on zero when used on a CQB M4 with 0 power Aimpoint. at...

I have a SIG 556 rifle and a SIG 556P pistol. The parts are completely interchangeable except for the buttstock, which will not fit on the 556P. However, the 556P upper will (I'm told...having never tested the information) fit on the 556 rifle lower, creating an SBR. Likewise I can put the...

Finally got the chance to take the M4 to the range to zero the Aimpoint and shoot the Surefire SOCOM 556 QD for the first time. New addition to operating instructions: After indexing the suppressor on the QD adapter, twist the locking ring...and make damned sure you hear or feel the ratchet...

The date should be the date that the document is executed. If it's your first NFA trust item you send a copy of the assignment sheet with the trust to show the BATFE that the trust has been properly funded by putting something IN the trust. The date should be the same as the date that you...

Why not? It's a shitload of taxpayer money that the department spent on them and the taxpayers ought to benefit from auctioning them off so as not to waste more taxpayer money than necessary replacing obsolete equipment. Many departments have rules that REQUIRE them to auction off stuff for...

Nice irrelevant ad hom dodge there Victor. Worthy of Leonard Spinks. Pete, did you check your ears to see if anything's missing?

You would expect that if it's someone conspiring with a cop to misappropriate department equipment, which is theft by the officer. However, should a police department dispose of used units by auction, as they often do with guns and other equipment they are replacing, then acquiring a unit...

And if it's a really cool item, sometimes it'll get "lost" in the PD's records and the SWAT team will end up with it even if it's perfectly legal and no crime was committed. Very rarely some officer will get nailed by the BATFE for diverting seized NFA items.
