    Suppressors (Update)First time with my new suppressor tomorrow. Any tips?

    If its ammo you dont normally use, fire off a good 10 rounds before mounting the can to make sure they are all shooting straight and not tumbling or anything. Know that the can will get hot if you shoot somewhat quickly. if you are going 1 or 2 rounds a minute it wont be bad. But start doing...

    I made my way out there today. Kind of an interesting shop as its pretty much in his house (or thats what i feels like i didnt ask). The actual gun area was pretty small....like a bedroom size room (which add counters and not much area) but he had a decent selection. Probably 30 rifles and 20 or...

    Sig Sauer MCX SBR

    Its my understanding (and TTAG hints at it as well) that the MCX is still in a bit of beta stage at this point. Minor tweaks still need to be hammered out before going to the public. I would we wont see this till Jan 2015 at the earliest and more than likely later than that. The MPC was...

    Speaking of powder...if anyone sees any Accurate 1680 around let me know (or has nay to trade). Just looking for a pound at this point to try it out in 300blk (vs the 5744 im using now)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P227

    Nothing really innovative. It's basically just a slightly larger p226 for 45acp. So if you like the 226s you will (more than likely) like the 227 as well. I'm just waiting for the factory threaded barrel and hopefully taller sights version to come out and ill be picking one up!

    Which Phone; I pod or Android?

    You are pretty much asking Chevy vs Ford to be honest. Both have their advantages and both have their disadvantages. Ipod pros- -One company (Apple) does pretty much everything for it outside of the apps. So you know it will work more or less flawlessly -Tons of apps -Tons of...

    Buy once cry once for a new shooter?

    Jumping right into an AI (or other top brand) would be just fine and you could grow into it. But with that said starting with a R700 or Savage can be beneficial as well. They are accurate rifles (my Savage does .5MOA with handloads) and you can learn on them. It also leaves you money to buy...

    Opinions on best billet lower with most features etc

    I just picked up a Rainier Arms Ultramatch Billet lower yesterday. Got to say its a very nice lower. Everything was perfect on it size wise while putting it together. I know they dont actually make their own but alway snice to support a local company! Really just go with the one you like the...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    What took yours so long? I mailed two in first week of January 2013 and had them approved in September 2013. Nine months to the day. I hate you all. Im STILL waiting on one of my cans from Jan 2013. Gave it a year (which was the 1st of jan pretty much) and then my dealer started calling...

    How to Move a Safe (1000 lbs.)

    When i bought my safe i had them deliver and install. Since theres no sales tax (in WA) on safes it was (in a way) like free delivery and setup. But they showed up with the dolly, used that to go it into my house (up porch steps) then they just used these slider things. Liked like a 2x2 piece of...

    Vacuum sealed ammo

    Im like Greg, i just use ammo cans for ammo i will be storing for awhile. I toss in a couple small desiccant packets for good measure and i keep the ammo in the closet so it has a pretty stable temperature and moisture environment. Ive gotten mulsurp ammo stored in just the cans (greek 30-06)...

    2 miles+ range in FL.

    Looks great to me so far! The using logs to help build up is a great idea....well i think at leas. I have no idea but would they rot in 10-20 years or would they last forever? Either way a nice mound to shoot off that you could maybe do grass on would be awesome. Hard to say what the land...

    2 miles+ range in FL.

    Im no expert but just a couple things that popped into my head. You said the property is wooded. Your current pic looks like a good setup...but you have to remember all that area would have to be cleared and maintained as well. So a "corridor" type range might be a bit easier to do clearing...

    Gun Cage?

    BUIS- do I need them or are they just for mall ninjas?

    I heard of two times. Least its what a friend who went to Iraq told me. Whether made up or not...it is at least plausible. First time a guys ACOG took a bullet. Second time the optic was damaged in a IED explosion to a hummer. I only have a set on my "shtf" AR. Rest of my guns are either...

    To be fair a switchview isnt something to common for most people. Im not surprised that they hadnt heard ot it. Same as i hadnt heard of it and used google. Now if you had said lever to change power on a scope easier then i would have known exactly what you wanted. The 40moa rail i could...

    I would love to have a setup like that. be nice to be able to try things out in a relaxed setting where you can get instruction as well. Also be nice to try out bolt gun vs AR (for me) . So heres 1 person that (assuming im home) would go. Though i think ill be stuck in San Diego still
