    Holy smokes, do that! Brownells charged me $10 a can when I was desperate :(

    Need help matching colors (rattle can)

    Aervoe is just tough paint. It bridges the gap between paint and a coating, but is as easy to apply and as cheap as rattle cans (dsg arms is the cheapest place to get it at 6 bucks a can). plus, a HUGE range of color choices. What I do is wipe everything with acetone. If I can do parts...

    I just noticed you're in SW PA. For an effective camo in your neck of the woods, I would suggest mimicking the Finnish camouflage. An emphasis on tones of green (60%), browns (30%), and a medium gray (10%). I can't recall what eastern PA looks like in the winter time, so you may want to change...

    One more quick thing....If you want a Sage or "foliage green" color, I would check out Aervoe "Khaki". It actually comes out like a lighter foliage green. Their actual "foliage green" is a nice color, but really dark....almost blue. I'm not sure where it would be effective at all honestly...

    How to build good copper equilibrium in a barrel?

    when you guys say "when accuracy falls off" are you confirming this with group shooting? or poor/not normal results at distance?

    Need input on moving to Oregon or Idaho.

    OP, pm me if you'd like. I'll tell you what I know of Deschutes County Oregon as a fairly recent transplant. What you're looking for its why we came here.

    Not satisfied with my Remington 700's group size...

    Thank you, Sterling, this is quite helpful actually. I've had some informal instruction from a shooter who knows much more than I in between that group shot, and eventually hitting 1000. I think what got me to 1000 is listening to his advice, some of which is dead-on with what you mentioned in...

    Advanced Marksmanship Carbon and copper, what can it hurt?
