    Ohio vs. North Carolina

    I’m from Ohio, but in my travels, the highway signs tell me that the Wright Brothers are actually from eastern Indiana. Not far from Dayton, mind you, but Indiana nonetheless.

    Ear protection

    Is there much difference between the Supreme Pro and the Pro-X? Just wondering if the difference in cost is worth it.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Molot Vepr 12

    Thanks for the reply. Is there anything that places like Dissident Arms do to tune them up to operate smoother or more reliably, or are they pretty good right out of the box?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Molot Vepr 12

    I’m looking into buying one of these and tuning/customizing for home defense use. After listening to a Vortex Nation podcast with Josh Froelich, in which he talked about the reliability and performance of his competition shotgun, it got my wheels turning. Apparently, his was tuned and...

    No offense taken, TresMon. Appreciate your input.

    Nailed it, Rubicon. At this point, I’m more interested in seeing how well I can learn to do it as opposed to doing it quickly. I have no aspirations to do this for a living. I’m just fascinated by the process.

    Gunsmithing Need advice from Master Gunsmiths

    Tresmon, I understand what you’re saying. I’m looking at this from the point of view of threading, chambering, and crowning at Barrel blank for the first time. At some point, I’d expect to get faster at it, but being a newbie, and wanting it to be as close to perfect as I can make it, I’ll be...

    Thanks Chad. Appreciate the input and I understand the wide gulf that exists between manual machine one-offs and CNC production processes. I also appreciate that shops like yours are able to produce high end results as efficiently as possible. We all benefit from that.

    Gunsmithing Need advice from Master Gunsmiths

    Haven’t gotten that far yet, Holescreek. My dad buys Douglas barrel blanks and then threads and chambers with PTG reamers and then cuts and crowns the muzzle. Not sure yet on the barrel profile.

    Thanks for the quick response, Rubicon. Part of this, of course is an interest in developing new and valuable skills. My machine room experience has been limited to a few 80% AR projects on the mill so far and I know this is a completely different ballgame.

    Gunsmithing Need advice from Master Gunsmiths

    I just observed my father, who is very meticulous, but by no means a professional machinist, thread and chamber a .17 Mach IV barrel to fit into a run of the mill Remington 700 action. It took him about 5 hours on his Grizzly lathe but the end result was very nice. He’s done this many times with...

    Leica 2800.COM Initial Hands On Review

    Appreciate the review as I am looking into RFs. Hopefully, after the next few weeks I’ll be able to pull the trigger.

    Annealeez... Does the job or AMP that much better?

    I’m new to shooting, reloading, and everything there is to learn about both. I plugged my AMP with Aztec Mode in last weekend and was up and running in five minutes. It’s incredibly easy to use.

    Anyone know the skinny on 80% lowers ?

    I’ve built a few. I found it to be a very enjoyable experience. Even more so since the finished products all perform very nicely. The downside is I could have bought a very nice complete rifle for less than I have in them, but I’d do it again and probably will soon. Most of mine are from 80%...

    Terrapin X vs. Geovid HD-B vs. Sig 2400

    Thanks Doug. I guess I should probably wait a month to find out, but patience isn’t a strong suit here.

    Terrapin X vs. Geovid HD-B vs. Sig 2400

    Doug, I have my first rangefinder purchase narrowed down to a sig 2400 or a Leica 2700. Do you see anything coming out next year that would be worth postponing this purchase for due to better price and features?
