    Pollimer 80% lowers

    Coons the ATF had to draw a line where something wasn't a gun and once you crossed the line that something is now a gun. The result is around the 80% line, however the ATF figures that number out. People and businesses are "allowed" to make anything that isn't over that line and it isn't...

    Gunsmithing Factory vs aftermarket barrels?

    In my experience with 20+ factory barrels, many of them are ok for 1-3" groups with load development. It can be a gamble, if you are buying a random pull off barrel chances are it is just average. With a aftermarket barrel you should be getting at least 1.5" all the time for something...

    Where do I retire ???

    If you want to move to oregon that is fine, you are conservative gun lover so you can't be to bad. I'll warn you that Bend has already had a year or so of 20% increases in property costs already, its shaping up like another boom and in 5-10 years it will all bust again. Don't buy any...

    Remington Wins SOCOM Sniper Rifle Contract

    How are you figuring out the price per rifle cost? 80,000,000 divided by the 5,150 number? by my calculator that comes out to the 15,533$ per unit, close enough to what you said. It seems to me the rifle itself could be quite a bit cheaper than that with all of the "accessory" items...

    Smith Enterprises, Inc. Suing over a forum post.

    I think the lawsuit is a waste of time, obviously SEI does not agree. Machining metal objects like an m14 receiver are a lot harder to do than write a program and push cycle start, not to mention the business aspects, which we are seeing can be difficult to get right.. Is the local machine...

    yes, you are correct. I should have been more clear and stated that sei looks to be ready to make all their claims IN COURT, and hammond has to show up and have competent legal representation to disprove their claims. If he doesn't, he will lose.

    Varget changing weight/volume?

    how are you filling the cases? If you swirl in a funnel as you pour it compacts or aligns the kernals more, which would have a more compact filling compared to powder that is just dumped straight in.

    Bore Snake anyone?

    I keep one when hunting for the accidental putting of dirt or something else in the barrel. I fell once and put the muzzle of my ar15 in the ground in the dark- if that had happened to me on a hunt I would have been in trouble.
