    Google in bed with NSA?

    That's colorist. And they do exist; I've gotten in the trouble to prove it.

    In certain areas... crazy is very, very good. But I married a brunette... soooooo

    Google in bed with NSA?

    I feel they often go under-appreciated it. I take it as a personal obligation to-- uhh... raise awareness of their trials and tribulations.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 16x Turret Issue

    I bought a used SS 16x from SWFA that was supposed to be in lightly used condition. Upon delivery, I generally agree with the exception of the windage turret. It is almost impossible to hear and you can barely feel it and you adjust it. If I have ear protection on, I can't hear it. Is...

    Gunsmithing Cartridge quality for barrel break-in

    I know there's a lot of argument about barrel break-in, so let's forego any discussion and just assume that I'm right and it's something you should do. Now that we're all correct, I was wondering if cartridge quality is of any concern. I know guys that won't let anything buy handloaded...

    AR-15 Barrel Selection

    I'm far from an expert (just getting into this), but I just finished the type of build you're talking about. I was able to go with Krieger, but I've head a lot of good thing about WOA (if not the friendliest people in emails... lol). 24" Krieger Heavy VarMatch in 223 Wylde with a 1:7.7...

    Lapua Brass...

    Natchez actually had some Lapua in stock and I picked up a hundred rounds. (damn, they're purrty) I was wondering if there is any need to size them. I haven't taken a mic to them yet, but I'm assuming they're gtg out of the box. For those of you that use Lapua brass, do you do anything...

    Beginning Load Development

    It's an AR with a 223 Wylde 24" Krieger Heavy Varmatch barrel (headspaced by Krieger for my bolt). More info in the 600y AR thread I have in the semi-auto section. Using 80gr AMax, Lapua Brass, and Winchester 748 (or Varget if I can find).

    Beginning Load Development

    How do I ensure I am all the way against the lands so I'm working at max pressure before I start coming off the lands?

    Beginning Load Development

    Read a lot here suggesting developing all loads with the cartridge all the way forward. How do I go about ensuring this? About to start my first load development. i.e. "slammed"

    That's a great looking rifle. Look forward to seeing it a Palo Alto sometime.

    600y 223 Wylde *First load test pictures*

    Out of curiosity, I'm assuming that SP3R is the v1 (non keymod). Looking at my SP3R V2, the key mods stick out very very little. I was wondering if you thought the top rail would fit with that gas block. Looks great. Quite the fit.

    600y 223 Wylde *First load test pictures*

    Damn. I like the jp. I went ahead and got the noveske key mod rail section for the bottom. Clearance issue solved. Also ordered a Brownell's gas block. Oh boy is that a piece of junk. It's ID is off by a few thousandths so it doesn't fit over the gas port. The gas tube doesn't fit in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Just picked up a G17 for $400!!

    G19 is a much better CCW option, IMO. I carried the 17... then went to the 19. The 19 is just lovely. I'm 6'3 240lbs.
