    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt Python badassery...

    Re: Colt Python badassery... Owned a 4" Python bought new in `76/7. They were hard to find. Also owned a nickel S&W 19, 2.5" Found I preferred the lockwork of the S&W better. Sold the Python in `82 and never a regret. Bought a cherry S&W 27 and it is way more than the Python cosmetics...

    Gunsmithing Winchester model 70 heavy barrel

    Re: Winchester model 70 heavy barrel Great info on this thread... If the OP's buddy has a Push-Feed receiver it makes barrel swapping super-easy. No extractor cut to line up, basically thread your barrel on and verify headspace and you are set. Many barrelmakers will deliver a threaded...

    Rifle Scopes Best scope for fixed handle AR 10??

    Re: Best scope for fixed handle AR 10?? Best Scope? Probably a Trijicon ACOG with A2 mount. Trijicon Reflex II in A2 mount is also workable. The AR-10 carry handle needs a secondary hole drilled to adapt AR-15 A2 mounts. Not a big deal. The AR-10 A2 carryhandle is about .3" lower than the...

    Model 70 into tac driver

    Re: Model 70 into tac driver Gramps had a hundred or more guns and you're sentimental over a bargain-basement rifle he gave you which he never shot or hunted with? And now you're gonna dump $1000 into a McM A5 stock and you want to know what barrel to buy??? Undoubtedly you'll want a...

    Gunsmithing Removing a stuck barrel?

    Re: Removing a stuck barrel? Have had to use a PipeWrench twice on Rem 700 barrels. Put the action into Brownells Action Wrench, stood on the handle with one foot and then banged other foot on pipewrench (wearing heavy sole boots) and loosened right up. Barrel was still in half decent...

    Critique my proposed build

    Re: Critique my proposed build 18" barrel is too short unless you intend suppressed use. No need to be hung-up on Krieger, plenty of other fine cut-rifled barrelmakers to choose from. Maybe try for an Obermeyer... Here's a critique: You got one bolt rifle, why not go Armalite Platform and...

    Steyr SSG-86 Sniper Weapon System

    Re: Steyr SSG-86 Sniper Weapon System Gonna be shooting that weapon or are you just building a story-line for the gun to enhance its sale potential? Any serious collector already knows what you don't about those evaluations. Undoubtedly you have a very nice piece of history, but as to the...

    Model 70 into tac driver

    Re: Model 70 into tac driver Your win 70 ranger might be worth $400 in the excellent condition you describe. Probably be a fine gun to learn the ropes with. As others said, trigger tuned to 2#, free float the barrel and bed the stock, use Sierra's match load data as starting point. Not...

    Re: 1911 460 Rowland Might want to visit www.realguns.com and read the articles on the .45 Super. If you have a High Quality .45acp, can change recoil and firing pin spring and are a careful handloadeer, should find much useful information.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New old School Colt Python

    Re: New old School Colt Python Python and Diamondback are very cool stylistically. Owned a Python and my brother owned a Diamanodback .38; both 4". Nice guns but sold my Python years ago w/no regrets. Found I preferred S&W lockwork much more over any Colt revolver. Have a Pristine model...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 454 Casull Revolver

    Re: 454 Casull Revolver Super Redhawk is The Ticket... .454 Casull is extremely versatile, but if you handload and cast your own bullets, the .480 Ruger might be even more to your liking.

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? On-target w/first round after boresighting meant 2 clicks adj to be on at point of aim. This scope has 1/2 moa windage adj per click, so talking about about .25" of windage from the boresighter zero to point of impact at 25yds...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Mr Bryant, Why the wise-ass line by line replies to my almost every remark and second-guessing every post I've made here? Got a financial stake in LaRue bigger than the $375 I've got. Incidentally, talked to their "returns" gal on Tues...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Not really sure the grid correlates to 8" at 100yds. The tool is a boresighter and the grid is used to check scope reticle alignment and reticle movement. Should correlate but does barrel length, distance to sighter grid from reticle (in...
