    Firearms FS: Remington 40X 22LR heavy barrel + AICS 1.5

    Still available, all of it. Can work out barreled action only if you like for you scoped trainer guys. The sights and bases have value on their own I can extract selling separately. Wasn't wanting to piece this out but it appears that is what the market is asking for.

    Firearms FS: Remington 40X 22LR heavy barrel + AICS 1.5

    Up. Any interest in any parts of this? Barreled action without stock or sights maybe?

    Is it me, or is M80 Ball horribly inaccurate?!

    Mean means mean, or in layman's terms, average. Add the numbers up and divide by the number of numbers. And that is deviation from point of aim, so double that to get the diameter. If the numbers are equally distributed in the number set, then your group size in diameter would be 4x the mean...

    Is it me, or is M80 Ball horribly inaccurate?!

    I've got some ADI I'd part with. It's reported to shoot half the group sizes of US M80 Ball. It's a good idea IMO to have a known zero and good data on M80 for your 308, just in case you have to use it. An E silhouette can still be banged full of holes consistently with the stuff quite a ways...

    Firearms FS: Remington 40X 22LR heavy barrel + AICS 1.5

    For sale - Remington 40X 22LR single shot heavy barrel. US Marked. Headspace is good though electro-pencil SN on the bottom of the bolt does not match the SN on the receiver. Rifle is as it came from the CMP, therefore, directly from the .mil. The buttplate is a period correct mod. The...

    Gunsmithing Winchester Model 70 caliber conversion

    Max OAL for the 6.5 creed is 2.825. For 308/762, 2.800. I'd be surprised if WIN made a special spacer and bolt stop just for 22-250 (yes I have a 1966 factory Match Rifle in 308 so can take some measurements and share), so it sounds like the issue is you want to load longer than max OAL. That...

    Help a Rookie Reloader Interpret Load Development - 6.5 CM

    I'd be all over 42.0 with the knowledge that I could throw it rather than weigh each charge if I were pressed for time. Keep in mind all this hard work will pay off when you run out of this jug and have to change lots. Save some of the old lot as a control for the testing of the new lot...

    Winchester M70 reloading

    https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2018/2/1/tips-on-how-to-duplicate-1950s-era-30-06-m72-match-load/ Keep in mind there is lots of caution around 30-06 match loading due to the fact that the Garand cannot handle powders that burn slower than 4064 without danger of bending the op rod. Max velocity...

    Kowa Customer Service

    I've been a Kowa user for 25 years. Still rocking a TSN-1. Yep, I dropped it on concrete on the objective, completely square to the ground (scope stand set at standing height fell over). I forget the charge, but they rebuilt it for a very modest sum. It was out of my hands for less than 2...

    Winchester 52's

    They are cool historic guns, that is for sure. The US Olympic team went to Anschutz in the late 60s for one main reason - lock time reduction - versus the 52s and 40Xs. One of the current Olympic team shooters shot my 40X in a 60 shot prone practice match - and said he could pull the trigger...

    Help a Rookie Reloader Interpret Load Development - 6.5 CM

    You can do this several ways. One way is to slot cut the neck with a hack saw or dremel, then set the neck tension with your sizer. The bullet will move more freely this way than not slotted. Another is to use a regular (empty sized) case with no primer designated as your OAL test case along...

    Sony Mirrorless Cameras

    I too am a Fuji guy. Buy a generation behind unit for pennies on the dollar (so X-T3 in current parlance), invest in good glass, and use the rest of the money on learning how to shoot pics/ Full frame really is not necessary these days, and the APSC-specific lenses are SOOO much more compact...

    Receiver set question need help

    Let me know when you get it built and where you are - maybe we can put up my adjective absent builds up against the esoteric ones.

    Receiver set question need help

    " I am specifically looking at the 2a armament balios lite gen 2 receiver set " - well if the number of adjectives is any indication, this must be one hellova awesome set of aluminum chunks. Never chased the hype of custom AR receiver sets myself, considering the lower and lower fit HAS...

    Failed primers?

    Do you understand that the primer seating process involves two steps? Step one, inserting into pocket, and two, crushing the anvil into the compound? Also pull the bullets and check for powder. Those look like classic no-powder loads.... don't ask me how I know. You can also weigh them...

    Receiver set question need help

    There was a time when there was quite a bit of variance in fit. That time seems to have past, even with some of the jankier brands still producing upper and lower receivers. QC has improved. Personally I'd not get too wrapped up in fit as long as you are buying a decent brand or a pop-up...
