    243 Win for Precision .......

    The .243 is one of the best but the cartridge burns through barrels. Lapua brass is available for it. Most are using either a 1-8 twist for the 107 SMK weight bullets or a 1-7.5 for the 115 DTAC. The Rem twist is not fast enough to handle those pills and without it... meh. So what you would...

    Suppressors Which QD suppressor?

    Those are some VERY interesting cans! The taper mount appears to avoid any of the problems that QD mounts have with precision applications while offering significantly better ability to not come loose over a standard thread on. Weight is comparable to Ti cans but Griffins are full auto rated...

    Gunsmithing Ring torque spec; Dry, lubricated, loctite?

    Which supports a "dry spec". When torqing to a dry spec all of the oil use in manufacturing and oil used to protect the product/fastener in between manufacture and use must be removed with a degreaser and allowed to dry before installation. "clean and dry" To my mind this is not best...

    Gunsmithing Ring torque spec; Dry, lubricated, loctite?

    Considering that the minimum difference it makes is 25% Id sure like to have a understanding of this. Why bother with a torque wrench when the spec may be off by a factor of +- 25% due to friction coefficient? Its a bit of a bugaboo throughout the fastener industry. Torque spec is often given...

    Suppressors Which QD suppressor?

    This is good advise. The specwar is a very good value. Until you really get your hands on the different QD models and examine them you cant make a informed decision. A stocking dealer with multiple brands and no dog in the race is worth a premium IMHO. Im no expert but I would look at the...

    Gunsmithing Ring torque spec; Dry, lubricated, loctite?

    My understanding is that the unknown factor in torque spec is coefficient of friction and that this is significantly effected (25% to 40%) by lubrication or loctite. Take the TPS TSR rings for example, the torque spec is 65 in lbs for the base nut but no indication of dry or wet in the spec...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns G17 upgrades

    Anything I ever added to a glock 17 besides tritrium sights and illumination detracted from the gun as a fighting tool. Whatever you do dont mess with the recoil spring aftermarkets. The factory glock recoil assembly is like $5 replace it every 20,000 rds or so. I do like the soldering iron...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol for Grizzly Bear Country

    Honestly the big bears scare me. I try to avoid their habitat. In my younger days I was lucky, REAL lucky. If your frolicking through the berry bushes and running across steaming piles of scat you might want to think if you really need to be in those woods. God protects children and fools(...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns carry pistol for the wife

    My girl can not stand autopistols. She has a 442 and a older SW M19. She cant shoot the 442 great, probably better served by a edged weapon at that range. She shoots the m19 OK. User preference really varies regardless of gender. Many women have chosen either the cz-75 or the glock 19. I...
