    Sidearms & Scatterguns Rem 1100 mfg date?

    Well, yes it could be. "K" appeared in 1941, 1963 & 1990. IF the grandfather bequeathed it to the OP in 1960........then it was a 1941. Etc. Bequeathed in 1964 ?........then it was a 1941 or a 1963. That's why ownership or historical provenance of the firearm is important. IF the OP had...

    Ballistic glass

    I have a close relationship with the Armored International Group (AIG USA) that fabricate all manner of armored civilian and Mil/LEO tactical vehicles. Have been to the fabrication site many times and it is pretty impressive to see and feel the weight of the ballistic windshield / window...

    Arc’teryx warranty

    They offer a lot of other related product sales not restricted to consumer demographics on their website. Hmmmmm. Government LEAF contract tasty cake and then turn of the cheek to let-them-eat-cake for the working man. Apparently my green Franklin's are not green-enough for their business Model.

    Help with 590A1 SPX ghost ring sights

    Here are the front dimensions from my Mossberg 590A1 14". Any other brand of sight close to these dimensions can be fitted to your dovetail. There may be several front sight options based on the factory barrel length. I have had several SBS shotgun barrels (mossberg & remington 870's) ported...

    Kestrel Holster?

    I found the Kestrel mfg. pouch satisfactory, as well as the Blue Force Gear. For ease of swapping gear around on belts, packs (inside & out), attaching a Safariland ELS mount to the Kestrel is really handy. A few examples.

    Gunsmithing AR Castle Nut Wrench & Law Folder Install

    The Law Gen3 can be fired folded. Only once of course , as the normal buffer spring mechanism to cycle the weapon after being fired is disconnected. Close the stock, use the charging handle to cycle the weapon, ready to go. The Law comes with a flexible aluminum "wrench" to install the internal...

    Need some guidance on Tripod Heads

    A proper bag is much preferred to the Hog in my opinion; as mentioned Hog offset centering of mass and not to mention the the relatively "slippery" side polymer grips of the Hog vise (their Mod 7) which allow for an unattended heavy rifle to fall out of the mount. Using some Blue-Force Gear...

    Need some guidance on Tripod Heads

    It looks like a knock-off of the Italian mfg. Manfrotto 054 which was light & strong magnesium, as I recall. A tier-1 mount in the day. The problem with combining that style head with the Hog was the threaded mounting points on the underside of the Hog are offset from the midline to make room...
