    Advanced Marksmanship Carbon and copper, what can it hurt?

    Cleaning frequency really depends on the caliber. A .308 can go almost forever without cleaning. A more high performance cartridge, e.g., 6.5-.284, needs to be cleaned more frequently. And yes, a dirty throat in some calibers can degrade accuracy. I always thought it was the carbon. Others...

    Firearms seizure

    I don't understand the cruelty to animals charge. I get everything else but not that. He killed a squirrel with a gun. That's called hunting, not cruelty.

    6.5saum no turn neck

    It's not going to be as simple as getting a reamer with a large enough neck if you won't accuracy from multiple firings of the same brass. As stated above, when you neck down say 7SAUM brass to 6.5SAUM, you will eventually get a doughnut in the neck, and you'll need to either neck turn or ream...

    AICS Modification

    Which gunsmiths will remove the front plate from AICS mags, both 10-round and 5-round mags? It used to be Surgeon, but I called them today and they said that they no longer do gunsmith work. GAP did a 10-round mag for me about 3 years ago but wouldn't touch a 5-round mag. Thanks.

    Superior Shooting Systems

    Just a vent. Order a product through their website. Put my current address in the ship to field. Received an automated email w/ everything, including address, correct. Because I had ordered something a little over 10 years ago from them, they choose (for whatever reason) to ship to my...

    DIY Scope Zero Stop

    I bought several of them (Leupold and NF) and still run them. I got the feeling that someone on the board ran him off. He was definitely cutting into manufacturer zero stop $$.

    The iron bowl

    Auburn will come out sky high and score first. Bama will slowly take over. Similiar to the A&M game, although Auburn will score far fewer points.

    308 win for 1 mile shot

    A hit w/ a .308 at 1 mile is like finding gold at the end of the rainbow (literally).

    What do I need to research...I've taken a class and saw it. Kipping is half ass.

    cross fit $$$$$$$$$$$$

    I can't stand how crossfitters through form out completely out in favor of some stupid time. A kipping pull up is not a pull up! It's half-assing a pull up.

    Sako M995 questions

    That may be a good choice. I'm 10 months into an A5 wait with McMillan. Kind of absurd to wait this long for a fiberglass stock.

    Hoping for some suggestions on dead-lifts

    How many people have blown out their bicep from using the alternating grip? ...many Go with the straps. I couldn't care less about forearm or hand strength. I'd rather lift heavier weight for my back and hamstring.

    Steroids Anyone ??

    +1. I took a prohormone (which is essentially a steriod) for about 2 weeks until I developed a pain in my right central abs. Immediately stopped and had blood tests about a week later by HRT doc. C reactive protein was really high, suggesting that my liver was/had been inflammed. Cholesterol...
