    True to size Allen Key sets.. do they exist?

    Look to Eklind and Bondhus for US made allen wrenches. If you like the Snap On screwdrivers, look at Williams Industrial Tools (made by Snap On)This is one area that I wouldn't necessarily restrict my choices to made in USA. I really like my Felo drivers and they make excellent allen wrenches as...

    Who still owns their first gun?

    My first firearm was a Marlin model 60 that I bought with my paper route money for $69.99 at Walmart. I had to have my dad do the paperwork for me because I was 15 at the time. The first firearm I was given was my dad’s Winchester M94 when I was 16. My first handgun was a Ruger Vaquero 5.5”...

    What kinds of scopes did you use as a kid?

    Never had a scope as a kid. In fact, I didn’t have one until I was 26. I bought a Leupold Vari-X II, 3-9x50 for my new Sig SHR 970 in 270 Win. I still have them both.

    Blackpowder cleaning

    Black, and most substitutes clean up with aqueous solutions as noted above. Blackhorn 209, however, should be cleaned with oil/solvent based cleaners. Read the cleaning instructions on the bottle or website.

    Send it in to Ruger for barrel replacement. You’ll never be happy otherwise.

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    Another vote for the CZ (or Tikka) my MkII G had a corrugated Pipe for a barrel and wouldn’t shoot for squat. Savage replaced the barrel with one that was better, but still rough and still wouldn’t shoot to the accuracy guarantee, even pillared and bedded.

    Sig Kilo 1800BDX

    Gents, Can anyone tell me if they've had cold weather issues with this rangefinder? I have another brand that won't work below about 45°F and don't want to repeat the mistake. I'm willing to look at other rangefinders as well if I need to expand my horizons. Budget is $325 or under. I do not...

    Ejector swipes

    I had a similar problem with mine. 260 Rem with a standard weight BC, spring and buffer with a Rifle+2” gas tube and a Superlative AGB. No amount of gas bleed-off would cure it, so I wound up adding 3 tungsten buffer weights, which in combination with some gas block adjustment, has mostly solved...

    Updated! - AR10 Build: Range Results @ Post #23

    I've finally had some time to do a little bit of load development but I can tell I still have a ways to go, both with load development and shooting skills. Bullets were Berger 130gr. Match/Target AR Hybrid and Sierra 130gr. TGK. Powder was H4831SC. Targets were shot round robin at 100 yds. The...

    Ring Height - CZ 455 & SWFA SS 10X Scope

    NP. Happy to help. I believe the CZ/BRNO forum has a chart in the stickies that lists some scope/ring combos that worked but I haven't been over there in a while. As I said above, I had to add a cheek pad to mine.

    Ring Height - CZ 455 & SWFA SS 10X Scope

    I'm using Warne "High" rings on mine. Link The bolt handle barely clears the ocular bell. ETA: I had to add a cheek pad to mine. There wasn't any way around it. I made my own out of leather but a lace-on/strap-on would work just as well.

    Mag fed loads not grouping well

    I would suspect that the bullet is picking up some damage from the barrel extension lugs as the bolt pushes it from the magazine into the chamber. You might lock the bolt carrier back, then release it and let it chamber a round from the magazine, then look to see if there's any damage. Since the...

    Cheek Riser for LR308

    Ok guys, here’s what it looks like: I think I may have to tweak the foam or the rear pivots to get the riser to sit level, but as you can see, it does work.

    Cheek Riser for LR308

    Not to mention that I’d have to replace my upper and hanguard and Duracoat them all over again. I’m pretty confident that my pivoting cheek riser idea will work. I’ll get it made this week and post back.

    Cheek Riser for LR308

    Well, I can’t find “exactly” what I want, so I’m going to try my hand with some kydex. I found a pic of a cheek riser that gave me an idea so I’ve modified the design a bit and we’ll see how it works. The circles represent Line 24 snaps. I’ll install the male portion of the snaps on the stock...
