    Rifle Scopes Super Sniper 20x Go or No Go?

    Re: Super Sniper 20x Go or No Go? never used the SS but I too don't like finding stuff with a 20X and the mirage can be an issue. I wouldn't hesitate with a 16X fixed in general but for a range I think the 20 could work. I like my stuff to work for hunting too though.

    Gunsmithing 1911 Hammer follow when empty

    Re: 1911 Hammer follow when empty seems like most used 1911s for sale are gunhacked 1911s where some fool messed with the sear/hammer/sear spring. to be safe all 3 need to be replaced by a competent gunsmith. Cyllinder and slide stuff is amazine and if you get it it might just drop in. But...

    Undecided yet if I'm going to go 20-24" 556 with a 1:7 twist reloaded over 75 grains or if I'm going with a 20-24" 6.5 grendel (I have rifles in both just have to buy a barrel) I'm thinking of building a lower for such a purpose.

    Rifle Scopes Acog On Ar-10
