    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    What about a Ruger American? I had a Ruger American Compact in 243 with an 18" barrel. I had it threaded for a suppressr. It was inexpensive and very accurate. I sold it to my nephew last year and replaced it with a 6.8 SPC II AR.

    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    We switched from QD push buttons to snap hooks or HK hooks years ago at work after a couple of us had the QD buttons get pushed when climbing or repelling in training. I dropped a brand new Scar over 20ft onto concrete when climbing over the edge of a roof on a burglary. Suspect climbed to the...

    Ultrasonic cleaners

    I use boretech C4 carbon remover or rimfire blend. I place the baffles in a heat seal bag with the cleaning solution. Drop that in The US cleaner filled with distilled water for about 30 minutes.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I think I want a new range belt but don't know which one

    I use a Blue Force Gear Grid Belt https://www.blueforcegear.com/grid-battle-belt. I got it for work initially. I use the included inner belt as my everyday belt for everything except when I have to wear a suit. I have had it a little over 2 years with no complaints. The curved shape of the belt...

    I picked up the stainless steel version of that for my son a week before he was born. I ordered it as soon as we found out we were having a boy.

    Bench setup and workflow help

    I run 2 of the recessed plates. I wish I had done one as a short riser. There are times wish I had little. Kre height. They also stick out from the bench a couple inches. Not a big deal but I have hit the corner with my elbow a couple times.

    Ring on bullet

    So I went ahead and ordered an L. E. Wilson expander die and mandrel as well as a case gage. They are on the way. I will see what the expander mandrel does and go from there. I wanted the Sinclair Gen 2 expander die and mandrel but they have been out of stock for a while. I have a feeling I will...

    Night Vision Help buying a thermal

    Sorry for not responding but work has been crazy this week. I have put in 70 hours already this week and am doing another 16 hour day today. I do plan on getting a handheld scanner. My budget for that is around $1,500 - $1,800. I figure 320 would be more than enough to be able to scan open...

    Night Vision Help buying a thermal

    I am looking to purchase my first thermal scope. It is going to be used on a .22 ARC AR primarily but may get shifted over to a .22-250 bolt gun once in a while. I am going to use it for varmint hunting here in Maryland and Virginia. Mostly coyotes, foxes, and raccoons on my family farm. I will...

    Gunsmithing Easy access wall lock for ar15

    We bought something similar at work a couple years ago. The issue we had was if you had a light, sling, or anything on the rails it would not lock into the rack.
