    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...

    Re: Base and Rings for Razor HD HD 5-20 50mm EBR-2B I've got mine sitting on a TPS 20 moa base using Vortex rings. You can get the rings for about $149. 35mm rings are spendy. Haven't used it that much yet though.

    Gunsmithing barrel misalinged with upper AR

    Re: barrel misalinged with upper AR Tear it down and check the face of the upper receiver for square to the carrier bore. The barrel extension should also have at least 75-80% contact on the receiver face.

    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...

    Gunsmithing Help please - Light Primer Strikes w/ Jewell HVR

    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".

    Gunsmithing Bedding an AICS? Hmmmmm?

    Re: Bedding an AICS? Hmmmmm? I bedded the tang part of my rifle because I noticed the contact areas had rubbed through the anodizing into the aluminum. At the range, my groups are more consistent now. I'm not saying it is needed for every rifle. I'm just saying what I found and it seemed...

    Rifle Scopes Dam you Fedex!!!!

    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.
