    Help me finding a new butt stock for my AR!

    LWRC stocks are very good, plus you can put tungsten rods in the battery storage tubes to balance out heavier barrels. There's just a skoshi cheek rest (I can't use a prominent rest like the LMT SOPMOD due to neck fusion):

    Let's talk remington 700 police..

    Tactical Rifles had AI magazine bottom metal that required a little (gunsmith) inletting. Plenty of other good ones. This is a 700 Varmint that started as a 700 Police. I had the action trued and bedded, and a half-inch chopped off the rear of the factory barrel so it could be re-chambered...

    AR-10 vs a FN-Fal

    I like M14s but that's a real stretch. I've never seen, heard of, nor read of a precision FAL. The USAMU set the long range interservice rifle team 1000-yard record at Quantico in 2012 using AR-10s, besting all previous M1, M14, and M16 scores.

    Bailey, CO BCGC 2 Gun Combat Match 8/18

    My son LOVES these matches and shot all he could get to. Now that he's back at Benning he's sad he can't get to them easily.

    Powder measure for bulk/precision 223

    This right here. Many years ago several Precision Shooting writers experimented and verified the Lee is just as precise-consistent (and sometimes better) as many other brands and models when it comes to extruded powders. It doesn't have to be expensive to work well. I use a Redding BR-3, my...

    White oak armament accuracy

    I am at Camp Perry now and White Oak has been here since Thursday. John has a number of barrels for sale in six different price levels depending on the cost of the blank. The three most expensive are cut-rifled Krieger, Bartlein, and Brux. He typically steers beginners and new shooters or...

    22 LR Long Range Dispersion, What is the Culprit

    There are a whole boat-load of variables when it comes to .22 Long Rifle at distances past 100 yards. Just in the bullet, most have a generally tapered "Round nose" -- certainly not a Very Low Drag profile. Drag will decelerate the bullet from its initial muzzle velocity between 1100 and maybe...

    Vintage sniper rifle match, Quantico

    My son will shoot his first Vintage Sniper Match at Camp Perry in a few weeks. He got a bee in his bonnet and had an M1D built off my old H&R M1. He bought a new in-box Kollmorgen scope from an on-line shop up in Wyoming. Dan G on the Virginia Rifle Team built it:

    Vintage sniper rifle match, Quantico

    Although Unertl went under in 2008, Remington still exports and supports the M24 with Leupold 10X scopes. Japan and Israel carry them. So ... not necessarily the Unertl itself, but the fixed 10X is still in (current) modern issue.

    Vintage sniper rifle match, Quantico

    Vintage is broken down by time eras. Rifle systems produced before 1954 are in Class A, while Vietnam era (1954-1976) are Class B. Anything newer is modern and technically more advanced and thus, not a vintage system.. Rules...

    Older leupold question

    It did -- it was market-driven as a variable around 1998 before it was marketed as a military and police scope. I believe Premier Reticle had a lot to do with development with Leupold. The first "F" serial suffix scopes had clockwise elevation turrets. "G" suffix serials had CCW to become the...

    Old Powder Warning

    I just threw out 250 x 80-grain 5.56mm 600-yard cartridges I bulk-loaded in 2020 with VV N135. This ammo had been stored in plastic bags in air-tight .50-cal cans in climate-controlled space. All cases and primers were tarnished and corroded, as well as a few of the Sierra bullets. I guess...

    Original Army SF 5th Group used LaRue Stealth uppers!

    The Iraqi National CT Force Military Training Team Sergeant Major (detached from 5th Group) carried one from '07-'08. You can imagine, as a sergeant major's rosco it was more of an office queen carbine than a nightly pipe-hitter's gun.

    Armscorp "M21" Marked M14 NM Semi-Automatic Rifle with ART II Scope

    When I went through the USAMU Sniper course in October - November 1982 we shot M118 Match. Later issue was M852, then M118 Special Ball.

    Interesting M25 Info and Pics

    Guidance for M21 and M14NM cleaning was disassembly only if necessary, usually once a year for gunsmith inspection and skim-bedding. M14 shooters usually got a new barrel every other season.
