    LaRue PredatOBR

    Re: LaRue PredatOBR For what it's worth, I just ordered the 16" PredatOBR in 7.62. I thought their customer service from Sheldon was great and enjoyed the interaction. My reasons for going with the Larue were the product's reputation and the technical aspects of the rifle, not the politics...

    Noveske 7.62 upper with switchblock?

    Does Noveske make a 7.62 upper receiver with their switchblock? I was in a local gunstore and they said they had one. But I looked on Noveske's website and they are not listed. I had this discussion with their CS in the past and they said they were thinking about doing it but not sure if that...

    Gunsmithing two-month storage in the garage

    Re: two-month storage in the garage Didn't think of the wood stock issue. The only wood stocks I have are my M1 Garand and Stevens 416 .22. None particularly I would call fine wood, but worth caring for. All the rest are AR or synthetic stocks.

    Gunsmithing two-month storage in the garage

    Re: two-month storage in the garage I live in WA state on the rainy side. So it doesn't ever get "Minnesota" cold, but it can get wet. With the car being pulled in after being in the rain, I was always concerned, but the little Remington dehumidifier seems to work pretty well for whatever...

    Gunsmithing two-month storage in the garage

    Not sure if this has been specifically covered or not, but is it ok to put some sort of grease in the barrel for storage of about two to three months? I rotate in and out of OCONUS for short periods and only store all my guns in a safe in the garage. It never really gets below 45 degrees in my...

    Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group Good idea on this thread. I'm joining the Paul Bunyan shooting club but anything for long range out in the woods would be even better.

    One of this countries first sniper rifles

    Re: One of this countries first sniper rifles That is beautiful work! My grandfather used to restore old rifles, put kits together and do custom wood work on stocks for rifles such as these. He's no longer doing this anymore now that he's in an old folks home but seeing this has inspired me...

    Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help!

    Re: Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help! Last follow up. Just got my trimmer back and works fantastic. Glad I invested in this. I got a call from the guy that worked on it and was more than happy to address my issues. He was very patient and ended up replacing the micrometer assembly and...

    Weird max OAL length reading on my gasser

    I just bought a Hornady OAL gauge and seemed to successfully measure the max OAL to the lands with a 175SMK on my Savage 10FCP. About 2.82 or so. Then I did the same on my GAP-10 and get a max OAL touching the lands at 2.772 with the ogive at 2.186. Book max OAL is 2.800 for the 175 gr. I was...

    Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight

    Re: Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight I've confirmed it's the headspace. So from here do I: A) Just shoot them even though they chamber tight or... B) pull all 37 of them and start over?

    Decker Penalized for saluting the troops

    Re: Decker Penalized for saluting the troops I totally agree with keeping a professional standard, but I think on Veteran's Day, some exception ought to be made for "reasonable" gestures of respect to those celebrated on that day.

    Decker Penalized for saluting the troops

    Even though he saluted on one knee and with the wrong hand, his heart was in the right place and shouldn't be penalized for this. The NFL needs to let this one slide. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdow...urn=nfl-wp11807
