    Thinking of rebarreling M1A SOCOM 16 with precision barrel

    I have a socom 16 that I never shoot. I am thinking of selling it to fund a suppressor (30p1) or else rebarreling it with an accurate 20-22" tube. I realize it will be 1.5 moa at best but I think these are the two routs I am going to take with it. I really like the M14 family of rifles...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns how to adjust dovetail rear sights

    Thanks unknown. I tried that and may have had some of that ancillary pressure. Or I may have been thinking about it and thus not applied it. I practice issolating trigger control through a lot of dry fire so hopefully I would not have that tendency. Why not just adjust the sight and as long...

    I would like to adjust the rear sight a little bit to the right. What is the technique to do it correctly? This is on a glock 17. Thanks.

    Best Range Finder Performer...Leica Geovid HD-B vs Swarovski EL Range vs Zeiss Victory RF

    I'm sorry to the OP as I can't answer his question directly. Yesterday I ranged a skinny concrete factory smoke stack made of grey concrete at 1859 with my bushnel fusion 1600s. I started at about 1400 and worked my way out until I could no longer range it. I could not get to 1860 but got...

    options for measuring chamber?

    What is the benefit of trimming the case back to either the minimum or maximum length for your chamber? Besides being able to chamber the round of course, I am not new to reloading. Does a longer case length prevent throat wear in a magnum load? Thanks.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Little Glock Project

    Nice work guys. I might have to chop down my 17 to make it more carriable although I don't want to loose any match performance. However I'm not a fan of the stippling. Any good how-to references?

    Shoulder Measuring Tool On the Cheap

    I have been wanting to measure the shoulders on my 308 cases to tune in the amount of shoulder bump back while full length resizing. I thought a solution today while lamenting not having a shoulder gage. I took a 40 S&W case and inverted it, putting the mouth of the 40 S&W on the shoulder of...

    My LWRC REPR 18"....first shots fired yesterday and I'm EXTREMELY impressed.

    Nice rig. Mine is an OD REPR 20 with a USO SN3 in NF 20 moa rings and a Harris 6-9 BRMS LaRue QD. at times it has been .625 moa out to 400 yards but on average it is not that good. I'm sure the largest hindrance is the operator.

    Advanced Marksmanship effects of bipod on concrete during recoil.

    I am curious if there are any effects of firing bipod prone with a rear bag off of concrete verses the same position on the dirt. While under recoil does the bipod behave differently on one surface verses another making concrete undesirable to shoot off of? The bipod I am using is a Harris 6-9...
