    Superior Service from Rifle Basix Triggers

    In these days of poor service from all sorts of companies I was amazed at the service I got from Clay Mitchell at Rifle Basix. I have an old trigger that wasn't working so I dropped them a quick email relating the problem and requesting an RMA for service. Within the hour Clay sent me an email...

    Photos Got the Shrike, now waiting on the M16.

    Re: Got the Shrike, now waiting on the M16. It takes at least 4 months to get through the BATF. After 90 days you can call them and they have to give you a status.

    Suppressors Sig Mosquito Opinions

    Re: Sig Mosquito Opinions I have a P22 and a Mosquito. Add to that a Sig .22 kit for my 229. Now, that said, I'm running AAC Pilot and Aviator on all of them and to say that I'm less than please with the Sigs is a understatement. Even with all kinds of ammo, springs, new mag followers for...

    Moly question

    Re: Moly question It may be more the lead that the bullets are made out of. While some are copper washed this isn't as thick as a jacketed bullet. So the moly doesn't really have an effect. I did subsonic .308 and the moly helped. I guess experiment. Wouldn't be that much for a couple...

    6mm and 6.5mm AR-15s.

    Re: 6mm and 6.5mm AR-15s. Something VERY similar to the 6mm AR can be had from Pacific Tool and Gauge. Its called the 6mm GR Auto. Reamer is about $138 or so. Email Dave Kiff at PY&G for latest pricing. You'll need a roughing reamer too.

    Shooting mat recommendation

    Re: Shooting mat recommendation Seems the choice here is shooting mat or combination shooting mat and drag bag. For light weight and easy carry one of the TAB mats is great. Not much padding but what do you want in a mat that rolls up not much bigger than an Aussie beer can? Eagle, VooDoo...

    Respect for the flag...

    Re: Respect for the flag... Thanks for the link. The homeless guy wasn't even a vet. He worked for a security company where he learned to fold the flag. I sponsored my Iraqi interpreter and his family to come here (they killed two of his brothers for working with us). I talked to him on...

    DPMS Panther LR .308 24"

    Re: DPMS Panther LR .308 24" Zebra, Ditto for what you've heard but let me add...the butt plate. My DPMS came with the sharpest checkering I've ever felt. A couple of hits with a sanding block knocked the tips off and increased my comfort level 10 fold. I have been a bolt guy in .308...

    Birdsong Finishes

    Re: Birdsong Finishes Keith, Thanks for the post. I met Walter back in the 80's and he did a .45 frame for me. After several years of knocking around it still looks like new. I don't know what this stuff is but its worth it.

    Re: America's "Top Shot" on History channel Survivor with guns. I guess this is showing the dumbing down of America. If a show doesn't follow the Survivor template, its toast.

    Rifle Scopes Premier Reticle in MOA

    The jury is still out on MIL/MOA but there seems to be a choice coming for Premier Reticle Scopes. I was recently at a long range rifle course and there was some pretty hot debate about MIL vs MOA. When the shooter is MIL and the spotter is MOA there is bound to be confusion. I just got off...
