    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Re: Form 4 wait time My last form 4 that I sent it was approved two months ago and then sent back to my FFL dealer. I waited 6 months from the time I sent it in. I live in Florida and all my form 4's have been processed in Virginia. Every one for the past 8 years has taken 6 months. I have...

    Suppressors pistol shooting and bifocals

    How do you shooters that wear bifocals set up your glasses. My normal glasses for shotguns and scoped rifles have a lower bifocal. If I shoot my pistols I have to raise my head to get the front sight in focus then can barely see the target due to it being blurry. My one friend has inverted his...

    Re: How do you build and buy a new Volkmann 1911 now? I talked with Luke Volkmann the last few days and everything seems ok. He is telling me a 6 month wait and then a 3 month build time. I put my order in today. Gary

    Suppressors What's the pros/cons of Rockote, NP3,Ion Bond

    Re: What's the pros/cons of Rockote, NP3,Ion Bond Thanks guys. I thought np3 was only in one color which was a dull titanium looking color. I am assuming that if I coat the gun then there is no reason to use Stainless steel as you are coating it. I may as well use carbon steel then. I am...

    Suppressors What's the pros/cons of Rockote, NP3,Ion Bond

    I am ordering a new 45 and have no experience with coatings such as Rockote, NP3 and Ion Bond. My very old 45 was all stainless (Detonics Scoremaster) and shot well but was not smooth due to galling of the metal. I like stainless for no corrosion or rust but the do not seem as smooth as carbon...

    Suppressors How do you build and buy a new Volkmann 1911 now?

    I started shooting a Detonics Scoremaster in the 80's, then upgraded to a Kimber Super Match in the late 90's. It has always worked great but I hear that a Volkmann 45 is the cream of the crop and much nicer and would like to build another 45 that incorporates all of the best improvements with...

    Yankee Hill Q.D. Muzzle Brake

    Re: Yankee Hill Q.D. Muzzle Brake I have the Y.H. QD on several AR's and there is no difference from a standard AR flash suppressor from the Yankee Hill. I use them so I can switch my Y.H. can from gun to gun easily. When mountiing your QD, use a pipe thread locking compound and when...

    Using Kestral 4500 w/ Atrag

    I just received my new Kestral w/ Atrag. Have never used a Kestral and for sure not with a ballistic program. For you that use this gear, I am reading that every time you place the batteries and start it up you need to calibrate it by turning it multiple times slowly for orientation. Do you...

    What alloy steal do you use for targets?

    Re: What alloy steal do you use for targets? I just took delivery and set up three targets from Big Dog. Two were 3/8 inch full size silhouettes and one 80% size 1/2 inch with the portable bases and upper brackets that attach the targets to the 4x4's. Total cost was about $1100. Not cheap...

    Prefered case: Soft or hard sided?

    Re: Prefered case: Soft or hard sided? I am building a PRSM bag/mat. Very soon GRT and I will customize the inside pockets for my needs. I also plan to add outside removable straps so that I can wear it as a pack. It will work for both an AI AW or an AR15 when I am done with it. Gary

    Prefered case: Soft or hard sided?

    Re: Prefered case: Soft or hard sided? I have an Accuracy International hard case for my AI. It holds everything but is an absolute Beast for the range. It is great for long distance travel and protection though. I would not invest the money in one of these unless you fly a lot or use...

    advice on buying a free standing safe

    Re: advice on buying a free standing safe Haaa! Your in Vegas. I lived and worked for years in Az. You are right, no need for a dessicant there. I have several rechargeable dessicant cans here that I tried in my closets and directly in each gun case. They change in two days and then need...

    advice on buying a free standing safe

    Re: advice on buying a free standing safe Thanks Storm: I can see how having a smaller safe would be easier to move around. I never thought that getting two smaller ones may be cheaper and better than one. I like that idea. Maybe a his/her pair of them:) humongous one. I am cringing at...

    advice on buying a free standing safe

    Re: advice on buying a free standing safe Thanks for all the responses. Not sure I understood one of them regarding getting two safes. Are you saying buying two smaller safes may be cheaper than buying one larger one? When you buy a safe, are you better off buying from someone who sells...

    Can your range finder do this?

    Re: Can your range finder do this? I have a swarovski and use it on a 1000 yd range regularly that is marked in 100yd increments along the side. We set up 1/2 size gray steel silhouettes at varying distances and then range them after and it is always very acccurate all the way out. gary

    AICS, Atlas users

    Re: AICS, Atlas users I have an AiAW308 with an Atlas with spigot mount. I am used to the forward and rearward movement and is easy to load. I would not consider a Harris for the rifle as I use one of those also on another rifle. The other option is the AI bipod and is not even in the...

    harris or atlas v8??

    Re: harris or atlas v8?? I have an Atlas on an AIAW and love it. It is pos mounted so goes on and off very easy. It is easy to load. It has way less parts involved in its construction upon examination. I have a Harris on a national match AR15. It works well with that rifle. Legs extend a...
