    Gunsmithing Need help with a 1911 Colt and hammer following

    Re: Need help with a 1911 Colt and hammer following Frank, I had the same problem after some trigger work. Like RADcustom said, you might be able to tweak the sear spring a little so that the trigger bounce doesn't trip the sear. But first, like he said, try holding the trigger back while...

    223LTR

    Re: 223LTR I sold my .308 LTR, but still have the .223 LTR. I mainly shoot a handloaded 69 SMK. The very best group I've ever got was .435" at 200yds. But I'd say my average is around .4-.6" at 100yds. For some reason, the LTR rifles have shot better than the AAC-SD and the .223 Tactical...

    Re: Help please - Light Primer Strikes w/ Jewell HVR What makes you think it's the trigger? How old is the rifle? How many rounds? Did this suddenly happen or slowly over a period of time? Personally I'd check the firing pin spring.

    The APA PARAGON destruction video series

    Re: The APA PARAGON destruction video series I'm enjoying the hell out of this. Will this rifle be up for sale (at a discounted rate) after all the destructive testing is done, if it survives? Wouldn't mind having it. Would save me a lot of time from adding "character".

    Re: Dam you Fedex!!!! It could be worst. I had a Bartlein barrel delivered while I had my hands full, so I told the driver to prop it up by the door. A few minutes later I found the box was empty with a round hole on one end.
