    Magpul chassis issue

    What mags are you using? I have a different set up than you, but have noticed mags fit differently from mag to mag. My 7 mag is a Defiance action sitting in a McMillan stock, and the AI, AM, and Magpul mags all act and fit just slightly different than each other. This causes feed issues...

    Rifle Scopes Why isnt minox more popular?

    I have experienced their customer service firsthand. I purchased my ZP5 from another Hide member, and the scope was less than ideal when it arrived. The packaging had holes, there was less than adequate material in the box by the time it got here, and apparently the previous owner used it as a...

    Rifle Scopes Why isnt minox more popular?

    I have a ZP5 that I am mounting on a switch barrel rifle, and will agree that it is very good glass, noticeably more so than the Mark 5 5-25. I fear I made a mistake by mounting the Mark 5 on my hunting rifle and the ZP5 for the range rifle, as WJM 308 stated, it is very light indeed. The only...

    Rifle Scopes Double Duty Scope Upgrade to the Big League - Z comp, Minox...

    I don't have any of the high end scopes listed, but I recently put a Leupold Mark 5 on my 7 mag that I hunt with. I have two, actually, the .223 trainer has a 3.6-18, and the 7 mag has the 5-25. They are not so heavy that they become unbearable in the field. I previously hunted with a SFP VX-6...

    Ohh my ! Area 419 AD FX120

    And FYI. I ordered the scale when it was on sale from CE Products, they were $450 plus $20 shipping. If you add the Autotrickler parts (V3), it adds another $490. You can pre-order the full kit from CE for $940 plus shipping, and save yourself some money (about $40 depending on what CE charges...

    Ohh my ! Area 419 AD FX120

    I have been trying to piece together reloading stuff, and came across the funnels from Area 419. I saw the kit and came here to research this. For the whole assembly, it seems to be double the price of a Chargemaster. While I'm not opposed to spending the money, can someone please help me...

    Ballistic Calculator Help

    Since initially posting this, I have shot both rifles with the T3 reticles and have found a few things. First, after zeroing both rifles at 100 yards (7mm rem mag and a .223 trainer), I realize I have not needed to dial since. While I'm still trying to figure out the holds on both, it's coming...

    First time reloading: Any glaring needs?

    Lots of amazing info on this thread, thank you all. I have been loading pistol rounds for years, and thought it would be similar. The more I read about rifle ammo reloading, the more complicated this is getting. I have been buying gear here and there for a year now, still nowhere close to ready...

    Ballistic Calculator Help

    So you are suggesting to use a base MIL-Dot reticle for calculations and read the T3 reticle for holds? That makes sense, but I was hoping to find an app with the T3 for references. Soes the 4DOF offer the T3 and also the MR5 reticle? I can't seem to find their list or reticles.

    Ballistic Calculator Help

    Hi Hide, Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but I'm having a tough time finding the right ballistic calculator to download. I am primarily using TreMor 3 and Minox MR5 reticles. Can someone recommend an app that covers both? I mistakenly purchased the Strelok Pro app and then realized that...

    There are a couple 1911 guys I'm not seeing on that list that should be. Understandably, as keeping up with all the good ones would be a full time job. Matt Mclearn - 1911 builder https://mclearncustomguns.com/ Will O'Hara - 1911 builder (no site) Brett Cifaldi - 1911 builder...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Favorite 1911 Lube

    I have a jar that I keep on the bench, after I've changed oil in any of hte vehicles at home (they all run 10W30) with Mobil1 full synthetic, I drain the dribbles of the oil containers into the jar. In the 15ish years I've been doing this, never have I needed to buy actual oil for my pistols...

    What’s your poison?

    I love me some beer. I drink lots of it, ice cold, bottle or can. With that said, I enjoy gin every so often, and my favorites are Dutch Courage and Junipero. I drink whiskey and bourbon now and then, but the only one I've enjoyed, unfortunately, was a flask of Woodford Reserve stuff brought...
