    So I'm confused. I can buy a barrel in 4142 chrome-moly, 416 stainless, 4140 chrome-moly, chrome vandamium, 410 stainless with chrome or melonite linings etc. What advantages are offered by various steels regarding accuracy and barrel life? Do you prefer a chrome lined or melonite lined...

    Hunting & Fishing What's your favorite sour mash recipe?

    Going hog hunting in a few weeks and was looking to try a new sour mash recipe. I usually brew up some corn, sugar, jello and yeast but I've seen others add everything including lard, lye, corn oil and sour milk. What ingredients do you find get the best results?

    I sent a Specialized Dynamics billet lower out to get cerakoted a couple of months ago. I just got around to building the lower today and discovered that the cerakoter failed to return the threaded bolt catch set screw with the receiver. Does anybody know where I can find a replacement...

    Boston Marathon Bombing. What's the proper response?

    Just throwing this out there, but what should we do if it's determind that the Boston bombing was the result of state sponsored terrorism? Pure speculation, but it wouldn't be out of the realm to see Iranian, Pakistani, North Korean or even Syrian fingerprints all over this event. A splinter...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat or hydrodipping?

    Looking to do a multicam AR. I've seen some dipped pieces that looked, in my opinion, better than multicam duracoat. I like the look but I'm not sure if the dipped pieces hold up as well as the duracoated ones. Anybody have any side by side experience? Also, how does the cost compare when...

    Hunting & Fishing Rookie hog hunter light question

    Taking my first stab at hogs next month. Was told that we'd be hunting out of stands and something tells me this will be a night hunt. Never done a night hunt so I'm not sure if hogs react to light like deer or if they scatter like roaches when the light comes on. What color filter would you...

    What's a fair price? - aka - Getting divorced.

    So the wife wants to call it quits. Yeah, the situation sucks, but the last time I checked a marriage still takes two people and I can't do it alone. That being said I need to find a place of my own. Figured I'd probably sell some guns to help finance a new house. The problem is I normally...

    I didn't sleep at Holiday Inn last night...

    Gotta dumb question. I bought a Troy Industries Modular Combat Grip for an AR. It's a well built piece of equipment machined out of aluminum to act as a forward grip on a 1913 rail. http://store.troyind.com/TROY_Modular_Combat_Grip_p/sgri-trg-a0bt-00.htm I use my front grips as storage...

    Too much Koolaid?

    With the exception of one Streamlight I have mounted to a 1911, every weapon light I have is a Surefire. I've always been a fan of quality, but after getting the last Cheaper than Dirt catalog etc I have to ask if I'm misguided? I see multiple lights with longer run times and more lumens for...
