    Reloading for AR15

    Re: Reloading for AR15 Fiocchi small rifle primers will slam fire, at least in my AR. It cost me a shit ton of clothes for my wife. I was loading my rifle before putting it up and had a slam fire. It went through the wall of the closet, through a bunch of the wifes' clothes, and out the...

    Re: Shorten LOP BC Medalist - I did it today. I was asked for measurements of the piece of the stock I cut off. It seems as though others have some ideas of their own for fluch cups and the like. I figured I would post the pics as well in case others could use the info. For good...

    Gunsmithing Shorten LOP BC Medalist - I did it today.

    Update: I removed the butt pad, taped the stock, marked it, and cut. Pretty simple, I just went what felt to be painfully slow. I re-installed the butt pad, tightened it down, put it back together and took a few shots and spent some time behind it to make sure I didn't need to remove anymore...

    Art of the Precision Rifle: Before and After

    Re: Art of the Precision Rifle: Before and After Maybe watching a video doesn't make you an expert? Can't do everything the very first time you try, it usually takes practice, and in this game, and insane amount of it. At least for me anyways.

    Which caliber is better?

    Re: Which caliber is better? 223 is legal in Tx for WT deer. Not sure about the 22-250 that vaporizes a crow. IMO, if the bullet will vaporize a crow, maybe it is a bullet choice issue but that is too explosive for WT, and damn sure pigs. 223 can kill pigs sure, and ALOT of people down...
