    Bedside/Nightstand Gun Safe

    Re: Bedside/Nightstand Gun Safe +1 on the gunvault. It has not failed me yet. Be sure to check yours by banging on the door - there were some reports a while back that it could be opened that way. Mine does not have that fault.

    Skull Monkey Gear Ammo Pouch & Molly Stix Review

    Re: Skull Monkey Gear Ammo Pouch & Molly Stix Review This is one of the few items I did not comparison shop for. I saw it on facebook and bought it. I'd already waded through a ton of crap online looking for something similar without finding what I wanted. If there is a fight here, I don't...

    Skull Monkey Gear Ammo Pouch & Molly Stix Review

    I like my Skull Monkey Gear shooting mat a lot, and while browsing their Facebook page images, I noticed an ammo carrier that I thought would be perfect for my needs. To date, I’ve carried my ammo in one of those 50 round green plastic boxes with the snap lid. I can’t stand the rattling of the...

    Chronograph for $200 or less

    Re: Chronograph for $200 or less There's a review on the Magnetospeed here somewhere. I read it this morning. It looks slick as anything. For a little bit more, it eliminates the need for a cold range, etc. I am in the market for a chrony, and it might just be what I pick up.

    Skull Monkey Gear Shooting Mat Review

    Re: Skull Monkey Gear Shooting Mat Review I felt I needed the strap. Maybe that will change with time/technique, but I had the bipod skid forward a couple of times, and the strap seemed like a good solution. I did look at the TAB mat, but it did not make my short list for that reason...

    Skull Monkey Gear Shooting Mat Review

    As I delve into the world of precision shooting, I thought I might do a couple of reviews on some of the items that I pick up along the way. This is the first one. Being a relatively new precision shooter, I was in the market for a shooting mat to replace USGI foam pad I had been using. I was...

    Gunsmithing Stock refinish order of steps

    Re: Stock refinish order of steps Sounds good to me. I did not care for the stock finish at all - my stock was in perfect condition when I started. I used BLO as a finish as that is what I had on hand. I like the feel and smell of it. My 10/22 birch stock did not take stain that well...

    Re: attaching a barrel, AR15 It's pretty easy. Best reference I've found is here. Despite what some say, I do check headspace with GO and NO GO gauges.
