    DPMS LR308 ejection marks

    Re: DPMS LR308 ejection marks Thank you for the advice and options to look at. I guess I am now in the hunt for an adjustable gas block to fit under a Troy 13.8 fore end. I will pull the ejection spring out tonight and try that first but with a 308 can in the future I might as well start on...

Thinking about knocking that hard edge down and see what happens. anyone else seeing the...

    1000yd Slug Gun (Shotgun)?

    Re: 1000yd Slug Gun (Shotgun)? This is certainly not an exercise in practical shooting but rather because you just gotta try stuff like this. Hell if it was practical why are there people shooting .22 LR at some distances considered to be ridiculous. If we were practical with stuff who would...

    A2 carry handle style mount help

    Re: A2 carry handle style mount help I ran a 2-7 Leupold on an M16 A2 back when a flat top was a hair cut, and I used a Leupold mount with no issues. I did use thread locker on the tightening knob though. It was not a reliable return to zero when the scope was taken on and off. If he is...

    Rifle Scopes Grip improvement for the Super Sniper

    Re: Grip improvement for the Super Sniper Excellent Idea and it reminds me of the first time a saw a package of "Ranger Bands" on the shelf at the PX. Yes all they were is cut cross sections of bicycle inner tubes. If you have a bike shop in the area they will usually give you as many old...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns M&P or Glock

    Re: M&P or Glock Are you dead set on .45 ACP? The reason I ask is the M&P 45 and the Glock 21 do not fit a bunch of shooters hands, even with the interchangable backstraps. This draws to the thinking carry what you are able to shoot accurately. With the advances in bullet design as it effects...

    A quick tripod comparison with pictures

    Re: A quick tripod comparison with pictures Jake, Apologies for the absence of the medium from our stock. A huge flood wiped out the factory and we have been surviving on existing stock until last week. We were able to get some larges for stock but probably will not see the mediums until...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Vacuum forming Kydex - UPDATE - finished pics

    Re: Vacuum forming Kydex Thank you for sharing. I have several projects needing some Kydex holsters and sheaths. Where are you getting your Kydex from? To bond the halves are you using adhesive of some type and then grommets? For integrated belt loops are you using the heat gun to form the...

    Vietnam Snipers

    Re: Vietnam Snipers SWAG Scientific wild ass guess, rounds down range lots of rounds down range. Experience, learning how to read the wind and knowing where to hold on the reticle they had. And you have to remember they were shooting minute of man, plus they worked at getting in positions...

    Some Pictures from the Trenches

    Re: Some Pictures from the Trenches Very nice pictures and again thank you for sharing. These guys deployed for years to fight in conditions that were primitive at best, oh how times have changed. A good book to read that may put those pictures into perspective is "A Rifleman Went to War" by...

    TAB Suppressor Anti Mirage Shield help

    Re: TAB Suppressor Anti Mirage Shield help When in doubt reach out to Tony Burkes ("TBurkes" here on the HIDE) and he can give you the best option for the can you are running. I have used and abused several TAB covers and they make a huge difference in the mirage as well as protecting you and...

    Rifle Scopes Using the MST-100

    Re: Using the MST-100 You just have to love the simplicity of the system. Once she is dialed in and you find the ammo that works best for the rifle and scope combination there is nothing nicer than just dialing the yardage on and sending rounds down range. There is a reason this scope was so...

    Photos Precision Rifle Solutions - SSP1 Upgrade cradle

    Re: Precision Rifle Solutions - SSP1 Upgrade cradle 96C Yes indeed, nice pictures. I really like the B&W. Yeah the loops where added after a buddy lost his cradle hunting hogs crawling through the brush it got knocked loose form the tripod. The added advantage of the loops is that you can...
