    Rifle Scopes Convert Leupold M1 turrets to Mil based adjustment M5

    Thanks for the replies. I have two Vari-x IIIs 6.5x20x50 with M1 turrets and two Mk4 16x w/M1 turrets. I guess I will give them a call and see what answer I get.

    Rifle Scopes Convert Leupold M1 turrets to Mil based adjustment M5

    Anyone here know if the Leupold Custom Shop can convert M1 MOA turrets to Mil based M5 turrets ? The scopes that I have are Vari-x III 6.5x20 and 4.5 x14 with 30 mm tubes and M1 turrets. I do not see any reference to them doing this conversion on their web page.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDS FTF and light off center primer strikes???

    Zebra, If you read my previous post you will see my experiences with the XDS. My slide was not going completely into battery about 20% of the time. Springfield ended up replacing the extractor in the pistol and so far it is running ok but I still am carrying my Glock 27 or my S&W 442 until I...

    Rifle Scopes Spacer under Turret for Zero Stop

    Multiple stacked paper thin spacers is the technique that Vortex uses. Works pretty well on their PST models.

    WTF... I mean WFT The Worlds Finest Trimmer.

    I use the little Possum Hollow versions of the same style. Great time savers, just have to trim after sizing since they are based off the shoulder and deburr the case mouth afterwards.

    Flying with a pistol.

    That case will work. It will need to be opened at check in, declared and tagged. Then you will lock it and put it in your checked luggage. There can be no ammo in the same bag as the handgun. I believe that there is a limit on the amount of ammo that can be carried in a separate checked bag...

    6.8 spc

    I shoot a handloaded 120 gr SST out of a 18" Bison Armory AR at > 2400 fps. It groups under an inch at 100 yds. Plenty good enough for it's intended purpose of a whitetail rifle.

    issue with .223 full length resize

    What is your case length ? The .223 cases need to be trimmed to 1.750 after a few firings. They tend to stretch after being full length resized a few times. 1.760 is max case length.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDS FTF and light off center primer strikes???

    Still shooting with no more issues with mine since SA replaced the extractor. Also by replacing the rear sight with a higher one the pistol is now shooting to POA.

    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    On another note, I loaded the 3 not fully formed bullets and shot them into my steel plate at 100 yds. They grouped under an inch dead center, Just could not measure due to the lead splatter.

    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    I ordered 500 of the 168 gn. Grafs and they came in today. I loaded 120 to the same specs that I load 168 SMK and 168 AMAX. Out of those 120 I found 3 with not fully formed meplats. The open tip basically stopped where the lead core stopped. Looked like a large hollow point with lead all the way...

    Gunsmithing Anyone here recognize this AR trigger

    I have a lower that was purchased used and it has an aftermarket trigger in it that I cannot identify. I have Jards and JPs in other rifles and it is not one of them. There are 4 allen adjustments on it as noted by the arrows in the crappy pic. I believe that it is a single stage but is out of...

    Adjustable gas block on LMT MWS

    Just wanted to share some info regarding adding an adjustable gas block to the LMT MWS. I just got off the phone with one of the LMT techs regarding putting an adjustable gas block on my MWS. I have two barrels, a 16" CL and an 18" SS. The 16" is a mid length gas system and the 18" and 20" are...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDS FTF and light off center primer strikes???

    Update on my XDS. Just received my pistol back from Springfield. No explanation except for the repair sheet. They replaced the extractor, lubed and test fired. They also replaced the rear sight with a taller one as the pistol was shooting 3-4 " low at 15 yds. Test target was included with 5 rds...
