    Inspecting rifle b4 transfer

    Re: Inspecting rifle b4 transfer It's unlikely you'll find burrs on the crown but go ahead and check anyway. The main thing that scares me about new rifles is how the chamber/throat looks. I've heard a fair number of stories about how dull tools have left burrs and chatter marks in that...

    My new gig... Updated.

    Well fellas, I'm probably opening myself up here a little bit but I just landed a new job that I am so excited about I can hardly stand it! I'll be working at Spikes Tactical starting on Monday. I actually still don't know exactly what I'll be doing but it really doesn't matter! I know part of...

    Rifle Scopes SEALs Scope... I know!!!

    Re: SEALs Scope... I know!!! WOW... Just WOW... Sorry I ever started this one guys! FWIW... I did, in fact, get rid of that scope. I discovered the consistency from distance to distance and back was just not there. I could adjust X number of clicks to get on target, adjust back the same...

    1903 Question

    Re: 1903 Question Barrel date and serial number match obviously doesn't always mean "unmolested" 03 but it's a great start! it's very rare for an 03 of that vintage to be completely original. Other than actual hardware, another good way to tell is to know the history. Was this something that...

    "No Easy Day"

    Re: "No Easy Day" The slant that Good Morning America put on it this morning was that the author's account was contrary to the official account in that bin laden was unarmed. They go on to state that the author says one of the other SEALs sat on bin laden's body after he was dead and that it...

    Rifle Scopes WTF is this...

    I took this off the top of a Scope that was mounted to a former Swat Team's rifle. I've looked everywhere I could think of (My Google-fu apparently sucks) and I can't find ANYTHING about it. Thanks in advance! John

    Geissele customer service

    Re: Geissele customer service I just got my first Geissele SSA from the great people at Spikes Tactical because Spike himself told me it was the best AR trigger out there. I had never cared too much about how the trigger on an AR felt or performed before now but HOLY SHIT! That thing is...

    Problems with brass

    Re: Problems with brass You guys missed the point. It wasn't about the tool and method used. The scarey part is the fact that this is not the first time this happened!... And if I'm reading correctly, the same guy teaching him about reloading has helped fix the same problem twice now! ... Or...

    Problems with brass

    Re: Problems with brass I had the same problem a couple years ago. I swore I had done everything right in sizing. I fiddled with my dies a little and stopped bumping the shoulders back quite as much and Voila! Problem solved. I literally could not see or feel a difference in a case length...

    Accuracy trouble shooting an AR15

    Re: Accuracy trouble shooting an AR15 I've posed the question about increasing AR accuracy recently to some very knowledgeable people on the subject. Sterling Shooter's information matches up with what I've learned except for one thing that he didn't mention that I've found to significantly...

    What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ?

    Re: What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ? I've owned 4 SSG's and they were all as accurate as any rifle I've ever shot. They perform well with Factory Match ammo and even better with reloads. I do have to say though, that I have limited experience with the newer variation which I...

    Older Gov't .45 no manufacturer name???

    Re: Older Gov't .45 no manufacturer name??? If there are no identifying marks that you can find its probably been reblued at the very least. But without seeing some pictures we really can't help you identify it at all. It could be some kind of mix-master made out of all sorts of different...
