    Rifle Scopes Are all 8-40 rails same screw space spec?

    My current rifle's receiver is drilled for the 8-40 Nightforce rail. If I order a Seekins 8-40, will I be able to screw it on? Is the spacing on 8-40 rails standard?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry knife preferences

    The Candiru is a really great knife too. Try one if you haven't. I think I like it more than the Izula now because it is just so damn small and aggressive all at the same time. ESEE really nailed the small fixed market. I just wish the Candiru came with a kydex sheath. I hate buying knives and...

    Movie Theater Elysium

    I agree with you to a point. That point is reached when considering actors whose films are majority based on themes that are in conflict with their politics. Stallone and Schwarzenegger based their careers and made millions through the exploitation of firearms. They are hypocrites and deserve no...

    Anyone ever ordered stocks through 24hourcampfire's gear shop?

    Well it took Rick awhile, but he finally contacted me. He has been busy. McMillan is swamped with orders from people (me included) ordering to avoid the price increase. All that to say, I can understand the delay to respond.

    Magpul Polymer MOE Rail Pieces - Wear and Tear Rating?

    Mount will be a Streamlight TLR. I don't have any PMAGs (Shameful, eh?). I assume your saying they wear out..?

    Magpul Polymer MOE Rail Pieces - Wear and Tear Rating?

    I'm considering using one to mount a light to the 870 MOE forend. I'm concerned the polymer may not stand up to continued use. The light will be on and off frequently. Plus, the 870 has more recoil than an AR. What's everyone's experiences/ thoughts?

    Anyone ever ordered stocks through 24hourcampfire's gear shop?

    I've ordered three now and service was great- BUT- I have one on order now and I am not at all impressed with the service. My emails are going unanswered. I want to make a change to the inlet. It looks like I may be paying my gunsmith to do it and wasting another hundred dollars out of my...

    Sig SSG 3000 Patrol 18"

    The McMillan and S&B definitely make a difference. They should send you some cash and use your photo for marketing instead.

    5R or LTR Which to start with???... Same question Im sure you have already heard

    If you're going to be truing the receiver,you will probably be rebarreling. Based solely on this I would go with the 5R for the stainless steel receiver. Just as good as CM, but better corrosion resistance. In the meantime you can have the barrel cut to whatever shorter length, which has the...

    McMillan, AI, or Manners?

    Chassis' tend to be heavier. Manners or McMillan can be made quite light.... if that is a concern.

    LTR stock? Anything wrong with it?

    I like the LTR stock, and McMillan aside, it would by my #1 choice. When it really comes down to it, there are two reasons I prefer the McMillan: Lighter (Edge Fill) and flush cups. This doesn't really justify the cost, but then the McMillan does have other benefits. I recently ordered a McM...

    Light weight rem 700 stock.

    A non A series McMillan with Edge fill or a Manners with Carbon Fiber option will be the lightest available stocks. Although, there are some specialized makers that offer stocks for mountain rifles. I am not familiar enough with them to give you any names. Next item to look at is the barrel...

    TRG-22: shortening barrel to 22" or 20"

    Why 20"? Why not just cut it to 18"? Go all the way? I cut a 700 24" down to 20" and since then have always wished I had just committed to a true short build.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone using the NF 2.5-10x32 NXS compact?

    Sonofabitch! Those MF's. I have a new 32mm waiting for a build that now just became a seriously expensive paperweight. I guess the good news is that it will probably be another year or more before they start trickling in up north...
