    bore cleaner?

    Re: bore cleaner? We used to make a God awful concoction of Kroil sweets and some other stuff and you damn near had to wear your gas mask to use the stuff. I think we got the recipe from one of the 1/9 STA guys. Does anyone have any recollection of what that recipe is? To stay on topic I...

    Precision Rifle Soulutions Rests

    Re: Precision Rifle Soulutions Rests Gentlemen, Thank you for the endorsments. The small is a stout little unit ecspecially given the weight to strength ratio. I wouldn't use it as a jack stand for my truck but it certainly handles the shooting chores. One of my .308's is close to 22#s and...

    Suppressors short barrel shotgun

    Re: short barrel shotgun The birdshead grip is certainly the way to go with these 12ga AOW's. (If someone is interested in a more traditional pistol grip I have a Pachmeyer pistol grip and for end) My Mossberg 12.5" is certainly a handful but is more than managable for its designated role as...

    Rifle Mounted On A Tripod.

    Re: Rifle Mounted On A Tripod. Thanks Alabama Shooter. The question as I see it is “how much tripod are you willing to tote around?” If getting it out of the trunk and setting it up on the flat range is your thing the bigger, tripods are not a problem. The smaller SLIK's that we utilize are...

    wasn't sure where to put this...

    Re: wasn't sure where to put this... Good looking targets. The angle forward target will certainly help keep rounds ending up where you don't want them. Again the handle is a nice touch. Keep us posted with a range report.

    22LR @ 400y last night

    Re: 22LR @ 400y last night The bullet may not be "rising" but it's trajectory is an arc with line of sight being intersected twice. The location of the intersections determined by the relationship of the sighting device with the bore line. The .22 is not only a lot of fun to exercise but a...

    Re: Where to get my barrel threaded? Another endorsement for Hooper Ordnance. I had my PSS cut to 18" and threaded with a thread protector. He did an excellent job and turn around time was within ten days.

    Rifle Scopes Recommend me a tripod.

    Re: Recommend me a tripod. WarEagle 700, Since weight and portability are not an issue run with the Manfrotto or Gitzo they are very stable when set up correctly. Price, materials of construction, range of adjustment and features will be your deciding factors then. I would suggest getting...

    Brigade QM closed?

    Re: Brigade QM closed? Just checked their website and it appears to be up and running. Them and US Calvary were the only game in town for mail order for many years and always seemed to have what I was looking for. Never made it to one of their store fronts but the PX always seemd to carry...

    Bullet Proof Vests

    Re: Bullet Proof Vests We are issued Point Blank and it works like a champ. Had a co-worker take two .45 ACP's at contact distance and the vest did its job. The other thing I would suggest you invest in is a good trauma plate to supplement the front. I personally like the hard plates as they...

    Rifle Scopes Recommend me a tripod.

    Re: Recommend me a tripod. WarEagle 700, Can you be a little more descriptive as to how you intend on using this tripod? The SLIK tripods we use in our package with the SSP-1 and SSP-2 are compact, versatile, relatively light weight, and cost effective. After decades of trying other tripods...

    They finally got me!

    Re: They finally got me! When I was a kid we had a family farm in the Ozarks around the Doniphan area and I don't think the keys were ever out of the vehicle ignitions and the doors to the house were always unlocked. Times certainly have changed. I work in the big city now catching bad guys...
