    Gunsmithing m1a stovepipe with scope mount

    Re: m1a stovepipe with scope mount Checked the gas system to be certain it's not carboned up? A bolt open tilt test will tell. Another possibility is a worn extractor and/or ejector spring.

    Re: .223 Shooters w/heavy bullets Savage 12 1:7 26 inch tube 77 SMK's at 3000 fps with varget 80 grain smks at 2900 fps with varget. Both loads are right out of the Sierra manual. The 80 grainers are slower but take 1/4 the windage of the faster 77 grain load despite what the manual says. I...

    Re: "RANGEMASTERS" Need guidance opening 1000 yd range Unless you are independantly wealthy your business plan is going to be very short lived. Free is going to put you in the poor house, or jail, or both. "At your own Risk" is a lawyers wet dream. Wait until you deal with the 1st ND, knife...

    What brass to use for +p+ type loads in 9mm

    Re: What brass to use for +p+ type loads in 9mm Question; what powder and bbl length was the 1400 achieved with? Just curiosity on my part. The original loading for the 9mm was 124 grain bullet at 1250fps from a 4 inch barrel. Then Someone came along with the alloy frame pistol and we had...

    Whats the deal with loading for an M1A?

    Re: Whats the deal with loading for an M1A? As mentioned, powder selection is one element that has to be right. You might want to obtain measuring tools for case diameter and headspace, two more important elements with the M1A. Last thing you want to do is press the trigger on a round...

    RL15 vs Varget

    Re: RL15 vs Varget Used varget to the exclusion of all else for years. Spent 2 years shooting nothing but RL15. Always had that 1 shot that went "over there" without explaination. Went back to varget and that stopped, as well as the temp swings experienced when using RL15 here in Texas. I...

    Gunsmithing shelin barrel (rachet 4 grove)

    Re: shelin barrel (rachet 4 grove) Did a side by side comp with their standard 1:8 and ratchet 1:8 several years back. Caliber was 22-250 and bullet used was Sierra 80 grain at 3100fps. Found that there's not a real advantage to the ratchet until you put some distance on things. At 700+...

    Rifle Scopes My Viper is here

    Re: My Viper is here I've been using one for about 3 months now. Glass is crisp as one could ever want, adjustments track and are repeatable. Overall a very good investment in a mid priced, much better than mid price glass, optic.

    escape from kalifornia?

    Re: escape from kalifornia? Robinhood was a very expensive proposition for those of us living here and owning property. I should say leasing property, because in Texas you don't own property as an individual, you lease it via taxation paid to the ISD, Independent School District. Seems the...

    escape from kalifornia?

    Re: escape from kalifornia? W Falls is a pretty barren landscape. Badlands is near by ( relative term ) Hunting in Tx is by lease system, nearly all land is privately owned and hunting leases are a very good revenue source for land owners. Ask for a bunch of money for salary, you'll burn most...
