    Shoulder recoil pad recommendation?

    Joking, actually; it is for me. I've had the end of my clavicle cut off and my pectoral muscle reattached in a different place. I get a bruise that turns purple and green when I shoot. I hear ya on the LOP problem with the pussy pad though. Lash: thanks for the PAST recommendation.

    Shoulder recoil pad recommendation?

    Need a shoulder-worn recoil pad that works for prone position using a traditional wood-stocked M1A (with metal buttplate). A recoil-reducing buttpad is not a preferred option. Any recommendations? It's for my daughter. She's 6' 2", 190 lb..

    Newbie looking for adivce for rifle purchase

    Lots of good advice here on the Hide. I'd keep your Leupold Mk4. If you have a mil-dot reticle and MOA (minute of angle)-based turret adjustment then it will force you to learn both. It's sort of like having to use both metric and English measurements. You can always buy a new scope later...

    Suppressors Are there any good over the barrel suppressors being sold?

    My preference for this type of suppressor is due to the structural advantage of having the suppressor overlap -- from a mechanical perspective it is a much stronger junction than just being held on by a short section of threading. Allen Engineering is the "civilian" version of Ops Inc. My Ops...

    Giving Snipers a Bad Reputation

    The use of the AK round indicates a possible lack of resources, unless that choice was a purposeful misdirection. It sure wasn't drunken Bubbas though. From KCET.org : "The scenario Smith describes suggests a highly disciplined assault by a disciplined group of people who had planned things...

    Just started lifting. A question.

    You don't think that weightlifting has any affect on bone density or connective tissue strength? You might want to research that a bit more. I think the rest of your post and videos are right on though.

    Just started lifting. A question.

    I'm not qualified to give you specifics. You might do some reading on "periodization." My own weight/fitness training emphasizes working the whole body and not maxing out very often, but I'm not too concerned with building mass. What are your goals? I'm sure someone else can offer better...

    Just started lifting. A question.

    Go slow. Your bones and connective tissue need to acclimate to the increased stress, and they respond much more slowly than the muscles do. At your age you could probably get away with maxing things out right away, but you would be taking a risk of injury. Gradually increasing reps is less...

    Home made Covert Case

    Nice idea. Maybe hit the local pawn shops and resale stores for suitable covert cases. Reminds me of an old SNL fake-commercial skit that featured a theft-resistant luxury car that looked like a piece of shit; it was called the "Chameleon."

    4 failures to fire out of 25 rounds

    Were the primers on those four rounds properly dented? Can you tell if the primers ignited?

    Rifle Scopes Chem Lite reticle Illumination?

    I have heard of this used by military before, but no experience with it myself. Why not try it and let us know how it works?

    Why don't military and law use stainless actions?

    They generally don't, do they? Is it just because of the metal properties in extreme cold and a relatively small price difference? Do they parkerize and/or Dura/Cera/moly coat the carbon steel receivers inside and out to get more or less equivalent rustproofing (M24 and M40, for instance)...
