    Do you build or assemble rifles?

    As far as ARs are concerned, if you instal the barrel, delta ring assembly, handguard, and parts kits in the upper and lower I would consider that "building." If you are attaching a upper to lower, NOT building.

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    I've tried the search function and was unable to find anything in regards to the particular question. I'm needing to get a budget helmet/mount setup for a PVS-14 and wanted to get your guys' opinion. My budget is around $200-$300 I'm looking at the Pro-Tec BRAVO Half Shell Helmet with a...

    Qstn regarding priming .338 carterages

    Chances are the .338 Lapua won't fit in your hand primer. It didn't in mine(Lee). I ended up getting a rcbs automatic priming system for around $90.

    First Bolt $1200ish budget

    I would highly recommend a FNH Patrol Bolt Rifle or SPR. You could see if CDNN has any barreled actions in stock anymore. I bought a PBR one a while back from them for $400 and dropped it in a $420 McMillan A3, pillar/glass bedded it, and it shoots GREAT. Probably one of the most consistently...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    So now you're stuck with a 16" barrel you can only fire without a suppressor? Bummer.

    Night Vision Linning up a Helmet mounted PVS-14 with a red dot???

    Wow, that's pretty sweet phantom. I'll probably get one of those.

    Night Vision AB Nightvision NVM-2AA with a Gen III MX-10160C Autogated OMNI VI tube

    Does anyone know of a way to set these housings up for use with a helmet AND weapons mount? I'd like to be able to switch back and forth fairly quick while hunting. I spoke to Adam today in regards to the issue and he told me it was a no go. Any of you guys have finagled a way to accomplish this?

    Night Vision Linning up a Helmet mounted PVS-14 with a red dot???

    So my best bet is probably to forgo the helmet mount all together until I get an IR laser to use? I supposed I could just try and get a QD mount for the device and then hold it while traveling to my hunting location and then attach to the rifle. Urgh.... what a PITA. How does aiming with a IR...

    Night Vision Linning up a Helmet mounted PVS-14 with a red dot???

    Is it totally necessary to mount a PVS-14 behind a red dot when hunting or would it be stable enough on a helmet mount to line up behind the red dot? I will probably use a IR laser at some point but am curious about use with red dot/helmet right now. The reason I'm wondering is the housing(AB...

    Primer pocket crimp removal tool input

    I use the Dillon super swager. I like it because you can barely remove the crimp and have a very snug primer pocket that will hold up for a while.

    550b or 650

    If you shoot a lot of matches and go through a ton of ammo I'd recommend the 650 but otherwise just use the 550b. Its easier to switch calibers and, while it's slower, I feel like I have more control over the ammo. I only use the 550b to load bulk blaster .223 and pistol ammo. Single stage for...

    Night Vision AB Nightvision NVM-2AA with a Gen III MX-10160C Autogated OMNI VI tube

    I'm looking at trading for one of these units and don't know a whole lot about them. I was hoping you fine gentlemen could share some of your knowledge with me. I would really appreciate the help. I've been looking online for info but can't find squat. I can't even find how much a setup like...

    Recommendation for concentricity gauge

    Just wanted to give this thread a bump as I'm going to purchase a concentricity gauge this next week. The capability of being able to straighten out a round to zero runout sounds nice but I'm not sure i buy it. I'm looking at getting a dual purpose Cabin Tree lead hardness tester/concentricity...

    Rifle Scopes 45deg offset mini red dot for SR-25.

    I've used a Aimpoint Micro H-1 in the past and liked it a lot. I had it zero'd at 25yds and killed a few coyotes with it. Very fast. I've since switched to offset iron sights because I used the Aimpoint on another rifle.

    Mixing powder

    I started a thread a few months ago addressing this same question. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading/194850-mixing-powders-different-lots.html I spoke with my gunsmith the other day who is an engineer and a master highpower shooter. He's much smarter than I and says...

    Suppressors Supressed Ruger 22 pistols

    Here's mine with a Mark III 22/45 and a stock 3" barrel my friend cut/threaded and reinstalled the sight on. With a SWR Spectre. Works great.

    New 300 Whisper build with can

    Very nice. I have a similar build(not as nice as yours) built off a savage. I've had some real good luck with 240gr SMKs and AA#9. Scary quiet.
