I would like to commend Josh Stabler of Shadow Tech (Hog Saddle) for his excellent customer service. I emailed him that I had lost the bolt and spring for my unit. It did not malfunction or break, I lost it. Entirely my fault. He emailed back and asked for my address, then 3 days later I...

Thanks for the info, gents. I will look at the rifle, and shoot it as is when I get home. Then we can determine the next step. My buddy was told that he could change the stock, or do whatever, but he could not massage the trigger. He just has to keep the old parts and re-assemble them if the...

Promag It will be used with a scope. I don't know the specifics on the fit and finish. I will be leaving AZ next week, and will check it out when I get home. I would assume the iron sight/scope question refers to the cheek weld height. He does not want to dump a lot into this rifle, as he...

A friend is being issued an M14 for police dept use. The stock is badly worn, and he wants to change it. He is looking at Promag Archangel stocks. I have no experience with M14s in general. Any input on the stock?

I will be there.

4 1/2 years for me. 6 months more and my Doc will call me cancer free. I also had a Gleason score of 9, and went with removal. The biopsy showed the cancer to be right at the edge of the prostate, and another year without treatment could have been fatal. My family doc checked PSA starting at 50...

You are making this too hard. The de-cap and siizng die puts it back to a factory size. You adjust the flare in the powder fill station until you can set a bullet on the case and it stays in place, but no more. The seating station seats the bullet and pushes the flare back. You are now back to a...

Take the die apart and clean it. Then lubricate the outside of the collet with some dry graphite or similar. The inside collet section can get stuck in the up position, and then it can buckle the brass. Make sure the the inside piece slides back down every time. This is one of the pitfalls of a...

Mine does.

I just had the same thing happen to me. I solved it by just using the new spring, and putting the old trigger pin back in.(No shim) The roll pin did not work, and I actually had the trigger release upon cocking the bolt. Putting the old trigger pin back in solved all the problems for me. I guess...

I just finished installing a TacOps knob on mine. It was the Brownells kit that has a threaded adapter. The adapter has a pin on one end and the thread on the other, wih a 3/8 inch shoulder in the middle. I recessed the shoulder into the knob, cut off 3/4 of the CZ knob, drilled a hole through...

+1 on the Milt Sparks. Have a few, and they are worth the wait. I like the Galco 1 1/2 contoured belt. When you start on the IWB venture, get a small shoe box. Then try to get the perfect holster before the shoebox is full of lesser models. It only takes one time of this exercise to learn. Buy...

Now get yourself some Wilson Combat mags. Most 1911 malfunctions are mag related, in one form or another.

may break your bones, but old primers will stop your rifle. I went to the range yesterday, shot some 223s, and then got out my 308. The bolt would not open. It would lift freely, move back about .015 to .02, then stop cold. Hmm, doesn't seem like a stuck case from the last time out, since I...

Re: Use of Density Altitude in Ballistic Calculations The shooter app instructions say that temperature is needed to compute the speed of sound, which is needed for an accurate ballistic solution.
