    How many on Hide use their precision rifle for...

    Re: How many on Hide use their precision rifle for... Might want to look at AI's extra barrel lineup for your AI AW. Not like there's a great deal of options unless you buy a .473" or .532" bolt body, but the Lazzeroni Patriot is a shorty .308 that is very versatile. Then there are the .338...

    Short Action 284Win Experiences

    Re: Short Action 284Win Experiences The .284win ctg case yields same performance as .30-06 case. IF you are concerned about magazine feeding in your action, consider that the .284 case is .010 thinner than standard belted magnum case body ahead of the belt and thinner by .032 at the belt...

    Tikka Scout vs 700 5R

    Re: Tikka Scout vs 700 5R The Scout Rifle is proof that Jeff Cooper was not the visionary so many depict him to be. "A solution in search of a problem" was how he described double-action pistols. Jeff was The .45acp Master, but he blew it with the Scout rig. Want a Really Good Rifle? Best...

    Belted Magnum Headspacing

    Re: Belted Magnum Headspacing I've owned two magnum ctg RCBS Precision Mics. The 7mm rem mag was shorter than the .300win mag but both shared the same thimble top piece for checking headspace. The Precision Mic is not as precise as the Wilson Case Gauge. The P-Mic is threaded and marked...

    Advantages of the Redding Type S Full Bushing Die?

    Re: Advantages of the Redding Type S Full Bushing Die? The FL type S sizing die allows you to neck or Full Length size. Better choice than owning the neck die. Still need to polish the sizing ball, unless you don't use the expansion ball on your decap rod. Sinclair sells the Skip's Die...

    Gunsmithing KABOOM Today...with damage, please help.

    Re: KABOOM Today...with damage, please help. Shooting your buddy's handload when it happened, weren't you? Didn't think to check his resizing with a gauge? A quality built rifle is going to have a go-gauge plus .001", or less oal chamber. Your buddy may have some rack grade gun with much...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Yes, I'm starting a caliber debate...

    Re: Yes, I'm starting a caliber debate... There is no Free Lunch. Of course, no attacker wants to be shot; but.... The smallbores must have velocity to be reliably effective. Not something that a carry pistol is going to achieve. So, you go 10mm or larger and carry the heaviest bullet...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 22lr conversions ?'s for those who have them

    Re: 1911 22lr conversions ?'s for those who have them We have a Ciener fixed sight kit w/2 mags. With a good trigger the Ciener Conversion groups very well with junk bulk ammo from Federal/Remington. Great value for the $$. Maybe you want the adj sight model? Not really necessary imho...

    Re: Random question? Hk Usp vs Springfield 1911 Buy the SA basic 1911 with high profile fixed or adj sights, don't have to be Novak design, just something better than standard notch & blade govt model. The money you've saved will pay for a Kart barrel kit and a Cylinder & Slide sear spring...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Desert Eagle 44 mag vs 629 Stealth Hunter ?

    Re: Desert Eagle 44 mag vs 629 Stealth Hunter ? I would go Super Redhawk if flexibility in .44mag were my goal. Better yet, choose the .454Casull and don't look back. The SRH lockwork is about as smooth as any S&W N frame made from the 90s on. The frame is massive and has the built-in...

    BOLT FACE QUESTION

    Re: BOLT FACE QUESTION Sure, you can take out the ejector. Just drift the pin out while you compress it and be sure the spring don't jump your parts across your shop... You are correct about the tension and offset position causing a misalignment. Trim a coil or two off your ejector spring...

    I need Reviews on my M1a

    Re: I need Reviews on my M1a Forget the M1a. I have. The Armalite AR-10 with A3/A4 receiver has integral picatinny rail so scoping the rifle is simple and trouble-free. AR-10 can deliver boltgun accuracy, possibly better. No stocking problems, just use a decent float-tube w/o the quadrail...

    Re: Central Texas Gunsmiths? KDF on hwy 46 in Seguin does fine work. They did some accurizing work for me in the mid-90s on a couple rifles and did a fine job. Have heard Kleinguenther who founded KDF is again doing gunsmithing work in Seguin. There is also Shilen in Ennis Tx up near...

    Re: Anyone know what 308 AR Bolt/Carriers Intercahnge? Armalite and DPMS bolts are identical. One uses a silver chrome ejector, the other is black; but No Difference between the bolts. Where there is a difference is the rear relief on the bolt carrier. The DPMS firing pin does not use a...

    why the resurgence of the scout rifle?

    Re: why the resurgence of the scout rifle? Always an interesting topic. Col Cooper was working before the dawn of the Tactical and AR-15 Renaissance. Think a 6.5 Grendel upper, like a 20" Satern w/fluted barrel in float tube would've gotten his attention. Also the Winchester 70 Classic...
