    $1500 build help

    Re: $1500 build help Other than being a Lefty (not in any sense imaginable!); this is a question I would have gotten around to. Since no one has ansewered the OPs question, could I ask it a little differently? How would one go about building a reasonably accurate and inexpensive AR 10 type...

    LWRC vs. POF 20" 7.62NATO

    Re: LWRC vs. POF 20" 7.62NATO One thing that is sort of scary about this forum is how childish people can be on it. This is especially troubling as they are not only armed, but ostensibly capable of hitting what they shoot at. Not the OP but the original commenter on a Pakistan connedtion...

    LWRC vs. POF 20" 7.62NATO

    Re: LWRC vs. POF 20" 7.62NATO Alpha6164; That is a well written and thought provoking post. The previous poster claiming a Pakastani connection was quickly dismissed, probably because of the tenor of his argument. I doubt your information will be so contemptuously dismissed, we shall see...

    How much powder to use for .223

    Re: How much powder to use for .223 What sort of groups are you getting? I noticed you seem to use a lot of American reloading supplies down there, down under? Is there a problem getting more, shall we say hi tech equipment, or are you doing this on the cheep? Best of luck with your...

    9mm loading question

    Re: 9mm loading question Yes, in fact lead is usually marketed as .356. Of course they have to be for 9mm, not 158 gr LSWs for a .38 special. What weight and shape are they?

    Rifle Scopes AR sight for up close?

    I shoot 3-gun and use a 1-4 power, which I am happy with for most matches. However, there are two local matches that only have pistol pits and therefore no shots over 50 yds are possible. I'm, getting killed by EoTechs and red dots! Before I buy an EoTech is there another option that is even...

    Blister Prevention

    Re: Blister Prevention The OPer states he has a couple of months before basics, surprised no one has mentioned getting into shape. Mimic the types of physical activity you will be doing and see where the weak links appear, then move to fix the problem. If you are prone to blisters, toughen...

    Rifle Scopes BSA optics?

    Re: BSA optics? "Every time you buy a BSA, God kills a kitten. Please, for the sake of the kittens, don't do it." That is funny!!

    Rifle Scopes Need a Cheap 1-4 30mm for my M&P 15/22

    Re: Need a Cheap 1-4 30mm for my M&P 15/22 I am reluctant to suggest Vector Optics, for two reasons. First the first scope I bought (an impulse buy I wished almost immediately I hadn't made) would not hold zero. The company I bought from ( I can't recall the name) said they would refund my...

    Eagle Stock pack

    Re: Eagle Stock pack I have noticed that this forum has a good bit of loose "criticism" to use a polite term. Jaco seems to have handled the "BS" claim politely and nearly perfectly. If the administrators are going to allow "BS calls", and other rude behavior, then question the propriety of...

    Target backers

    Re: Target backers Although not as cheep (free!) as old conveyor belt, stable matting is excellent. This is a pad of thick spongy rugger that horses stand on. One can get it at Tractor Supply, race tracks, tack shops (do not let any females of your acquaintance get near horses).

    Suppressors Best 1911 for the money

    Re: Best 1911 for the money Since you are often in the US and will be leaving the pistol here used makes even more sense. Despite what some of the people above think, I have had very good luck with a Kimber SII that that I bought used, for slightly less than $600. Welcome to the US we can...

    New steel target (pics!) A couple questions...

    Re: New steel target (pics!) A couple questions... I would recommend shot blasting it to clean it, #8 shot at about 15 yds, should work, about 6 shots should do each side.

    How many people have built a composite stock?

    I am interested in building a composite stock for a Savage 10. I don't see much information on the specifics of the process on the Web. Nor do I see any posts here, (yes search Nazis I did look). So, my question is does anyone here have experience building one off stocks in Composites? I...
