    .300 Blackout bore guide

    Re: .300 Blackout bore guide Possum Hollow makes one, but you have to call them and ask. I recently got one and it cost around $20. There is no o-ring on it because the bore diameter is too close to the case diameter to cut an o-ring groove.

    Gunsmithing carbon fiber sleeve

    Re: carbon fiber sleeve I've never heard of a carbon fiber barrel sleeve. Carbon fiber barrels I'm familiar with are wrapped and its an entire process that's not realistic for DIY. The volquartsens are not sleeved, so there is not a sleeve to remove. You probably going to have to buy a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What I carry and how I carry it. How do you carry?

    Re: What I carry and how I carry it. How do you carry? I carry a Glock 19 in a Tritin kydex IWB holster when I'm wearing a jacket, sweater, heavy shirt, or if I don't care that it may be a little noticeable. I carry a Keltec PF9 with a belt clip if I'm wearing light clothing and it has to be...

    Black Rain Rifles?

    Re: Black Rain Rifles? I've used a BRO barrel on a build. A 16" SS button rifled barrel, light profile with a 1:8 twist. It shoots .75" groups @ 100yds quite consistently. The person who told me about them loves them. His competition rifle has a BRO matched upper & lower. Both are...

    What happened to the discount tables at gun shows

    A decade ago I used to purchase most of my guns at gun shows. I recall in the 90's gun shows being the place to go to find the deals. I must of purchased a dozen guns from the small gun tables that were a single folding table with 1 or 2 guns on display and stacks of those guns in boxes head...

    Where does a Long Range Sniper Wannabe Start???

    Re: Where does a Long Range Sniper Wannabe Start??? I've been into long range shooting for a couple of years. My suggestion as a newbie is to ignore all of the equipment and gear discussions, and the "what's the best" discussions. Absorb as much info as you can on marksmanship and...

    Suppressors Silencer lead removal?

    I know its common for silencers to be used on calibers smaller than specified (example: a .308 can on 6.8 and a .223). I also understand that is not a good idea to use a centerfire can on a rimfire rifle because of lead build up in ceterfire cans that can't be disassembled and cleaned...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper Scopes

    Re: Vortex Viper Scopes I have a Viper 6.5-22x50. Its not the PSP. It's a great scope. Very good glass for the price. Its been mounted on a Remington LTR (.308) for about 2 years. I've shot close to 1000 round with it. I've killed a couple of deer and 9 hogs with it. I shot 4 hogs one...

    MidwayUSA

    Re: MidwayUSA I generally find that the shipping cost depends on the distance the item has to be shipped and the size and weight of the item. Make sure your comparing apples to apples. One company may be in the state next door and one may be across the country. Larger companies often have...
