    Coating after AW Cut

    You are probably right, the only reason I haven't done it yet is more of a matter of principal. I'm in CA and so on top of the various transfer and paperwork fees, plus sales tax- there is an extra 11% sin tax that goes towards funding additional gun control.

    Coating after AW Cut

    Mine is an AICS cut version I bought back in early 2022. It sounds like I am overthinking it. I had bugged Tate a year ago about it asking if I could get it cut and renitrided. Tate said they didn't offer a re-coating service but that they were looking into it. Does the feed ramp get modified...

    Coating after AW Cut

    I think most of them are 400 series stainless, the martensitic stainless steels which aren't all that corrosion resistant. I've had 410 stainless STI mags rust pretty hard, even had some surface corrosion on 416 stainless barrels.

    Coating after AW Cut

    I've got an Impact 737 I am thinking of sending in to get cut for AW mags. Corrosion resistance is pretty important where I am at. What are people doing for coating after having action work done? It is already nitrided- I don't know that I can nitride it again. Hard chrome? PVD? Cerakote? At...

    Gunsmithing Source for Remington Socket Cap Screws (1/4-28)

    I just received my Grayboe renegade and DBM today. The DBM did not include new action screws of the appropriate size and length as I am typically accustomed to. I have tried a few local hardware stores with no luck. I also have looked online, and not found small quantities of appropriately...

    Rifle Scopes Entry Level PRS Scope for 1k - 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen 2 or Burris XTR II? Illumination?

    I received the XTR II today and so far I am pleased. I may just not know what I am missing but I was able to glass a hill close to where I live with it and the image quality surprised me in a good way. After reading some of the negative posts on the scope I was beginning to wonder if I might be...

    Rifle Scopes Entry Level PRS Scope for 1k - 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen 2 or Burris XTR II? Illumination?

    Well, based on the largely positive feedback on the XTR II and the rebate I was able to snag a 5-25x50 XTR II with the SCR Mil reticle for a great price. I don't have a lot of experience with high end optics to know what I might be missing in glass, but it sounds like it will be sturdy and track...

    Rifle Scopes Entry Level PRS Scope for 1k - 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen 2 or Burris XTR II? Illumination?

    So far, it looks pretty split between the two initial options, plus some suggestions for others to look into. I appreciate the feedback! I would like to figure out a way to look through both of them before I buy, so I will work on that. Maybe I will try to shoot a match with my current Bushnell...

    Rifle Scopes Entry Level PRS Scope for 1k - 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen 2 or Burris XTR II? Illumination?

    I want to upgrade glass from my Bushnell Elite 10x scope and I have been leaning towards picking up a Burris XTR II in 5-25 or 4-20. My LR experience is limited as I am primarily a USPSA and carbine shooter. I haven't really used the illumination on my 1-4x carbine scopes. I haven't shot a PRS...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Defensive Knife for Gov Employee

    Re: Defensive Knife for Gov Employee Take a look at the Spyderco P'Kal. Great folder and due to the 3 inch blade its legal places even small fixed blades aren't.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns G17 upgrades

    Re: G17 upgrades On a 2-300 dollar budget I would change the sights- I have the Redback 1 sights and they are nice, but I like the Dawsons a little better (my other guns have Dawsons so it could just be what I am used to). Do a .25 cent trigger job. Done. Then find the nearest range that...

    Gunsmithing Filling the butt end of a polymer stock?

    Re: Filling the butt end of a polymer stock? I needed to get some weight in an ADL stock so I used fiberglass resin to both glue in some old steel pushrods from a Trans Am and then added some wheel weights. I didn't drill a hole, I just removed the buttpad and poured. Worked like a charm for...

    Dillon for match grade ammo

    Re: Dillon for match grade ammo There are some tips for tweaking the dillons in both Zedikers handloading for competition and Tubb's the rifle shooter. As for 550 vs 650 i think it depends on your pistol shooting. I have 2 550s, got into uspsa over the summer and I am shooting 1k plus rounds...
