    McGowan AR barrel blanks?

    Answering late.... but from what I've heard, McGowan has a good reputation in the bench rest/target shooting world. I actually bought one of the Odin Works 18" DMR barrels, and I'm going to be assembling the rifle on Monday. Of course you never really know until you shoot the thing, but it seems...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    That is some very good advice there. I have one of those older 700 VSF's (tan HS Precision stock, 26" medium-heavy fluted barrel, 6R 1:10 ballard style rifling, they don't make this rifle anymore). It was marketed as a "varmint rifle" in .308. I didn't know anything when I bought it. I already...

    New Site Read First Before Complaining

    I have a question..... I've been away from the Forum since before the software changeover. I haven't lost any PMs or posts....at least I don't think I have....but I notice that I no longer see any kind of text/image/link formatting buttons when creating a post. I know enough BB code to do it by...

    Anyone a fan of scout rifles?

    To each his or her own, I suppose, and no offense meant, but that is an "answer to a question that YOU should not have asked".....maybe. Maybe some day you'll be asking it too, for similar reasons to why I ask it. For the sake of your health, I honestly hope you never have to...... I have a...

    Suppressors Acuracy and reliability between G17 and baretta 92

    Re: Acuracy and reliability between G17 and baretta 92 I am not a warrior king, and my heart belongs to the 1911, but if I had to choose between the 92 and the G17, I'd take the Glock. My wife has a G19, and it's a great pistol.

    Droid "Shooter" ballistic program

    Re: Droid "Shooter" ballistic program I have two questions... 1. How do you edit and or delete a rifle or load profile from the program? 2. When you synch to the web, where is your data going, and can it be accessed through a desktop browser? Belay that for question #1... I just read all...

    Busted M1A

    Re: Busted M1A Well, lo and behold, when I got home from a Bible study tonight, my repaired trigger group was waiting for me — 3 days sooner than they had promised it. That is VERY good customer service. Now to start picking up those spare parts. Thanks for the suggestion of getting a spare...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 10x42 Tactical Riflescope

    Re: SWFA SS 10x42 Tactical Riflescope I just bought a 10x42HD about a month ago from SWFA, and it was a good experience all the way around. I mounted it on an M1A using a Sadlak mount and Super Sniper low profile rings, which sadly broke a hammer hook sometime during the first 100 rounds...

    WTSHTF crowd

    Re: WTSHTF crowd I've seen a lot of those kinds of threads started in the past year or so on other forums, but since I am a new member here, not so much. I have a son who's going to be 20 in eleven days from now, and he tends toward the hot-headed in regard to the possibility of civil...

    Busted M1A

    Re: Busted M1A I got a call from SA customer service today. They are promising that I will have my trigger group with new forged hammer back in my hands by Friday January 8th at the latest. That's not bad service at all.

    Busted M1A

    Re: Busted M1A I don't know enough about it to comment on the slam-fire possibilities, but the CS guy I spoke to at Springfield sounded to me like they've heard this often enough that they don't need to be told to use forged replacement parts or warranty repairs. They obviously have the...

    Re: Christmas Day in Texas Please enlighten me if I'm wrong, but isn't a healthy predator population necessary to a healthy deer/elk/whatever population? I don't have a problem with predator hunting/trapping, per se, whether it is for hunting reasons, or for livestock protection reasons; and...

    Re: Busted M1A Good News!! I phoned Springfield this morning and explained the situation and the time constraints. They sent me an RMA# and a FedEx 2nd Day Air shipping label. I have to send them the trigger group and broken parts, and they will replace the MIM hammer with a forged piece...
