    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help with older Randall Model 1-8

    Damn--Damn--and Double Damn. That is one of the coolest pieces of memorabilia ever. Then to boot, you have his 1911. I have no idea what kind of records Randall has available but that would be my first stop. It's evident that your grandads knife has his name on it and if they have records...

    Waterproofing boots

    Sno Seal is the answer. I've worn Hoffmans for thirty or so years. They are a pac with felt liners, air bob soles and quality leather uppers. Use a tooth brush to rub into stitching. I've also used it on the old Redwing work boots that had no lining of any kind and double stitched vibram...

    Replica USMC M14 DMR project completed

    I mentioned something a few years ago on this forum regarding SVDs that might be of interest to you and your fellow SVD shooter. In 1967 we were briefed by Langley regarding the bounty/reward program and the SVD Dragunov was included. You guys probably keep track of this stuff but one went...

    Ariat vs. Lucchese vs. Tecovas?

    Dress shoes: Allen Edmonds They use a number of lasts. Find one that's comfortable and stick with it. Hunting & Field: Hoffmans What's generally called a PAC but I've worn them in a 100 degrees with comfort. Mine have all had LaCrosse bottoms no longer available. Treat the tops with...

    Hide extra slow today?

    The 'Hide has been off line for me for three or four days. I got a continuous maintenance message for that period. It came back to life about three hours ago. Two possible circumstances that might effect it are Hughes Net and the fact that one of my computers is on Win7. Being inquisitive...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I'm glad the action is what you are looking for. The reason I sold it is simply that I had been sitting on it for years along with three A-4s and FN TBMs. As regards your .260 barrel, here are some shops that may be able to answer you question. Moon Roberts at Crescent Crescent Customs, LRI...

    Advice on Gunbroker rifle purchase gone bad

    Your kinda' between a rock and a hard place. Any FFL that throws away a shipping box is not worth doing business with. Call Terry Cross and find out if it is actually a KMW build. If it is, ask him if he will inspect the rifle and give you any recommendations. He is the guy to fit a...

    Sako TRG-22 reality check

    Westford86, congrats. you made a great buy. A couple of quick recommendations for when you get out to shoot your TRG. The triggers on the TRGs are legendary. You may find that the pull when you hit the wall (second stage) seems heavier than you would expect. This is particularly true when...

    Sako TRG-22 reality check

    I blew your pic. up to as big as I could (300%) and the gun looks virtually new to me. I see no wear on the joint for the bi-pod legs. I see no wear on the bolt and I see no crud on the brake. I appears there are a couple of bright spots on the rail so the previous owner might have mounted a...

    Caution if You Vote Absentee

    The UN and various NGOs monitor elections internationally particularly as regards the likelihood of fraud. The process now in place would have them screaming "Train Wreck".

    Caution if You Vote Absentee

    Make sure your signature hasn't changed. I started voting absentee about forty years ago. After signing stacks of checks for years I realized my signature had morphed. I went to the co. elections office and had them pull the old signature card. Sure enough, there was no resemblance. It...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Eotech Vudu 5-25, Now With Photos

    31+ mils. 40 moa should work. If everything works you should be three-5 mils from burying the erector. I used Burris XTR Signature 1.5" rings and put in 25 MOA inserts but because the rings are so close together I ended up with about 35MOA and 25 up/7 down with a 100yd zero. If you haven't...

    Noooooo!!! Not bof'em. Its good to see them back. I've already put my ego in the drawer in preparation for what's going to follow. Now that you've tried the Bravo how would you equate it to the TRG in terms of the firing hand feel? Also the Timney compared to the TRG trigger. If you've...
