    Ed Brown Rifle

    Re: Ed Brown Rifle I have a Marine in .308 and love it. Way more accurate than me but Ed's attention to detail is evident, as it is in his pistols. Re: your question, my guess is, the price. On the surface the price might not compete with the other semi-custom builders, but considering his...

    Suppressors 1911 in 9mm

    Re: 1911 in 9mm I ain't no 'smith, nor IDPA'er, nor steel'er, but I do shoot a lot of 9mm in my pro Kimber. Everyone who shoots it, likes it. It's fast, accurate, and cheap to shoot. I agree that finding a good local 'smith to do some customizing as you get into it is a great idea. A full...

    Suppressors Educate me on 1911's

    Re: Educate me on 1911's +1 for the Wilson 8-rounders and Chip's 8-round Powermag. Never had a problem with either one. To me, the Wilsons are 'sleaker' but I prefer the metal follower on the McCormicks.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell E4200 Mil/mil ffp 6-24x; field reports?

    Re: Bushnell E4200 Mil/mil ffp 6-24x; field report I did a quick box test last weekend as per Frank's tutorial in the online training module. Scope tracked well, no problems, right where it should have been. I'm very pleased with the scope, particularly for the money. Only complaint is lack...

    Suppressors 1911 quality?

    Re: 1911 quality? I concur with a lot of what's been said... In your price range, a new Springfield or Kimber with a rail would be a great start. A gently used LB or Ed Brown could be had for a bit more. Both are worth the extra $ in my opinion. I've had old Colts, but prefer the modern...

    Lucas cleaning bore guide

    Re: Lucas cleaning bore guide I love mine. Bought a name brand p.o.s. that broke first day. Mike's is a great piece of kit and the sleeve for your cleaning rod is a nice extra.

    Soft Rifle Case, Non "drag bag" Style

    Re: Soft Rifle Case, Non "drag bag" Style I just got the Eagle Industries SR49BP and love it. Got it from Wiskur Tactical (no affiliation...) http://www.wiskurtactical.com/home.php?cat=252 They were prompt in communicating and offered some suggestions. My guess is you'll need at least a 44"...

    Rifle Scopes bushy elite 4200 vs. v.viper pst??

    Re: bushy elite 4200 vs. v.viper pst?? I just bought and installed the Bushnell 6-24x50 FFP mil/mil and while I have very limited experience with other tactical scopes, it seems to match what I have read on here... tracks well, clear glass, relatively compact size, readily available, good...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50mm ER/T M5 Front Focal

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50mm ER/T M5 Front Focal I was interested in the 4.5-14x50 until I saw one in person. The section of the tube ahead of the turrets is very short (1.6"), and since I have a two piece base, it was a no-go to get the necessary eye relief and natural POA. The 6.5-20 was...

    Rifle Scopes High End Tactical: Part II

    Re: High End Tactical: Part II Can't wait. I'm considering all 7, except the Leupy. Kinda pullin' for the IOR (so I can save cash) but secretly hoping the Henny is just so good in NH1 that it's a no brainer (minus one kidney). Thanks Ilya for all you're time!

    Rifle Scopes New IOR 3.5-18x50

    Re: New IOR 3.5-18x50 bumpin' the thread for a quick question... Anybody mount one of these on a R700 style action (HTG stock w/ 20moa base)? I'm curious about enough room for mounting rear ring and getting eye relief and bolt clearance (the issue with the 3-18x42) without need for a base...

    Gunsmithing bolt rotation

    Total 'noob question here... Is it normal for the bolt to rotate about 5-10 degrees while dry firing w/ or w/out snap caps? I asked the store owner and he said yes, and that the force of a live fire will not allow that to happen. thoughts? thanks in advance.
