    Wind

    Re: Wind there are dozens of formulas and gizmos that promise to allow a caveman hit the target cold bore 1st shot every time. Any way you cut it, you first need to be able to call your speeds and direction(you'd be surprised by the number of people who want to be stars who can't). Then you...

    Re: Recoil Lug Newb ? unless your new lug is the same thickness as your old one, then you will most likely need to cut the shoulder of your barrel back and thread the barrel longer to make up for the difference, unless of course the new lug is thinner, then you will need to cut your chamber...

    early haboob

    Re: early haboob now in the light of day, although I lost a shed out back, I gained most of my neighbors shed, not sure if I would call it breaking even. Oh well, that's life in the fast lane, I was going to tear it down any way, but I did want to get my stuff out of it first.
