Whoa, NOT prohibited items. Merely not allowed in carry on, they can lovingly be checked as can a 50 caliber Barrett. Remember, these rules ONLY apply to the law abiding. Criminals won't follow the rules, including the ones wearing TSA uniforms. The problem with the TSA is they think they...

Clean it well, go back and video with the PRS. Focus on the ejection port and angle your camera towards where the BCG would clear to strip the next round out of the mag. Clean it again and go back to the original stock, film the same way. Chances are your change on the tube may be the...

Gas block first. If you set up a video camera pointed at your ejection port, slight angle rearward to see the bolt going into the tube, you should see whether your bolt is going bak behind the magazine as it should. If not, you have a short stroke happening. DPMS had this notorious problem on...

As others hace said, too much crimp is part of it. I have fired cast wheel weight lead through my Glock 19 Exo barrel with no accuracy issues. I forgot to swap to the LWD barrel that day for the range. The crimp cannot be too light or it creates a ridge that catches in the Glock chamber and...

Bear Creek Tactical will be hosting an IDPA match on August 7th, 2010. Shooter briefing/sign-in at 0830, match should start at 0900 if no delays occur. This IS open to the public and you DO NOT need to be an IDPA member to shoot. Cost for the last match was $15 for the IDPA match and $5 for the...

SOF-USA is now officially open! Location: Ozark, Mo http://www.sof-usa.com/ 16 lanes, 8 per side. Fully baffled, equipped to handle rifles (no AP, I, tracer ammo, or black powder). Dropped in today and the range looks great. Visitors and non-shooters can remain in the lobby and watch...

Re: MISSOURI **BPSC** NIGHT SHOOT spring MAY 8TH I can honestly say I wish I had brought all of my gear Saturday to join in rather than just watch! You guys looked like you were having a challenging good time on the long range portion...and the temp dropped rapidly to about 45-50 degrees...

Re: Blackhawk molle bag sniper rifle rest (Bag set up) I have one of the STRIKE rifle rests so I'll give some input on what I've found. Full pack or not, the STRIKE rest can be utilized. However, an empty bag is tougher to shoot from and you won't be able to use the support channel, you'll...

Re: Terminal effects of 5.56 Normally I wouldn't jump in on military ballistics because I'd be thrown to the wolves, but I'm going to take my chances this time. The NATO 5.56 round, and more specifically the US military issued M-16 and M4 platforms, are designed for specifically (purposely)...

If you're new to long-range shooting or spotting...or just have yet to understand the vapor trail tracking, I have found the video for you! This is a video on youtube of a M1 Garand being fired out to 1000 yards. The vapor trail is quite clear all the way to target impact. The poster of the...

Re: Homemade Red Lens I use gels in my photography follies. Take care to protect them as some are quite thin which makes them sensitive to prolonge temperature exposure. Direct sunlight is very bad on most photography gels...think Srinky Dink commercials and you'll understand. But that's a...
