    Maggie’s 18 Year Olds Are Just Kids...

    Hey Tucker, Your post got me feeling nostalgic, since I grew up about the same way. I had good loving parents, but got plenty of discipline from them, grandparents and the occasional neighbor growing up. I was taught gun safety from the time I could walk by my dad, my uncle and my grandfather (a...

    MK18 Clone Build

    I've been looking to do a Mk18 Mod 0 build or something similar myself. One thing I ran across is a 5.56mm NATO 10.3" FSB Gas Port .070 (Crane Spec) upper being produced by Andro Corp Industries. It's designed for minimum blowback when running suppressed and it is currently on sale. I also...

    Movie Theater Hell or High Water

    Great movie with strong acting all the way through to the end! Watched it twice already. Really liked the plan by the brothers to pay the bank off with its own money.

    LMT .308 MWS

    FWIW, I bought mine in November of 2015. Not sure of the manufacture date, but my local dealer had advertised a super low price and sold out - so he special ordered mine directly from LMT. Receiver is marked "CAL 7.62X51MM" and just under that "LM308MWS", while the 16" barrel is marked "MP...

    MK 12 mod 1 velocities

    Very interested and thanks for posting this! I've had a serious craving for a MK 12 Mod 1 for some time, but I'm not sure what to expect in the way of improvement from my current set-up. I thought the M262 were rated at 3050 fps - or is that velocity with a 20" test barrel? How well does your...

    BH Mk262 in stock anywhere?

    If you want something similar, Wideners has the IMI clone of Black Hills 262 in stock for 16.50 per box of 20. It's been getting good reviews on AR-15.com and claims the same 3,050 fps muzzle velocity as the original 262. I believe the Silver State is closer to the Federal Match 77 gr muzzle...

    My First, Real Precision Rifle: A 20" AR-15. What Next?

    That's a nice looking build and a good choice on parts for a first-time AR platform. The .223 is a fun caliber to shoot and really shines out to 500 - 600 yards with the 75 grain pills. You've got the right idea to start with a rig and caliber that will encourage practice, practice...

    If you could only have 1 full on custom rifle

    Re: If you could only have 1 full on custom rifle For me it would be either a .260 (1-8 twist) or .243 (1-7 twist) set up for long-range bullets.

    to go 260 remington, or stick with 308

    Re: to go 260 remington, or stick with 308 Turbo, I'll play on this one: Say an angry bear is headed towards me 50 yds and closing. I would feel a little under gunned with my .260 slinging 123gr or 139gr Scenars. I would much rather have my .308 loaded with 175-190gr SMKs or 208gr AMAXs for...

    F T/R Competition F-TR Stocks, what are you using?

    Re: F-TR Stocks, what are you using? My current F T/R stick uses a non-adjustable McM A5 and 24" #7 contour Bartlien. I'm considering building a "throwback" next using a McM Baker Special stock or an A1 adjustable stock, which are two options for an integral adjustable stock. Early on I...

    Favorite gun you have shot, own, wish you shot?

    Re: Favorite gun you have shot, own, wish you shot? Favorite gun I've shot: M-60 machinegun - standing from the shoulder on full auto (from prone with bi-pod is lots of fun too). Favorite gun I own: My first GAP custom Rem 700 in .260 - it's a laser. Gun I'd most like to shoot: M-1 Abrams...

    Best way to convert CDL to 30-06 Heavy Barrel?

    Re: Best way to convert CDL to 30-06 Heavy Barrel? I've gone this route a couple of times. First time for me I already had a Remmy VSSF that I bought used and just couldn't get to group well. I decided to make it my first project and sent it to one of the well known smiths that post here to...

    Range Report Recommended 5.56 for 1:9 twist

    Re: Recommended 5.56 for 1:9 twist I have a Bushy 16" 1-9 that just does not like the Hornady 75 gr or heavier BTHPs. It does great with FGMM 69s and Hornady 68s by Black Hills. If you're not going for long range (over 300 yds.), mine also does really well with the 45 gr. HP Winchester...

    Suppressors What do you carry?

    Re: What do you carry? I mostly carry a 4" or 5" 1911 in .45 ACP (I like the Kimber Tacticals) when clothing provides sufficient concealment or I'll be working in an unknown or dangerous area. Sometimes I switch out and carry the wife's S&W .38+P Airweight - the more I carry the S&W, the more...

    Range Report 175 grain Federal Gold Medal Match

    Re: 175 grain Federal Gold Medal Match Both of my .308s group a little tighter with the 168s at 100yds. I use them for practice because our range is limited to 300 yds except for scheduled matches and because they used to be considerably less expensive when on sale. I still reload them for...

    VSSF stock vs. PSS stock

    Re: VSSF stock vs. PSS stock Bronx, The PSS and VSSF have different shapes and contours but the construction is very similar - both have the aluminum bedding blocks - but bedding will still help accuracy. The PSS has a palm swell and a more full forend with practically no taper. The VSSF...

    Newb needs help 308 Win and Varget +168 Hor. HPBT

    Re: Newb needs help 308 Win and Varget +168 Hor. HPBT Hector, I use the 168 Hornady BTHP Match and worked up a couple of loads to duplicate the Black Hills 168s, which use the same bullet. I wanted a practice load that would shoot like off the shelf ammo for matches. The 168s shoot...

    Movie Theater Sniper Head Shot on Bones TV Show

    Re: Sniper Head Shot on Bones TV Show Good point Lindy. Better to just enjoy the movie and pass on the details - but sometimes that's easier said than done. What grabbed my attention on this one though was how graphic the head shot portrayal was on prime time TV. That really shocked me and...
