    Sidearms & Scatterguns lighten trigger pull on Kimber 1911?

    Have a new Kimber 9mm Tactical Pro II-I like it. I have a good feeling about this one-compared to my other 1911's (Sig Extreme & Kimber gold match 45 ACP), trigger seems crisp, but kinda heavy. I have small hands. Anyone recommend a guide/reference book on 1911s for "how-to" learn how they...

    barrel length for 6.5 X 284

    Going to have a new rifle built- have 29" & 31 " blanks 6.5mm 1/8.5 on hand. AMU & HV contour. I often see bbl length of 28" for this cartridge. Going to shoot (possibly f/tr)., steel LR and varmints. Does 6.5 X 284 need 28" to burn powder-must be a reason for bbl over 26"... ? 139 Lapua...

    Rem 700 LA- best size for 6.5X284 repeater build?

    I am collecting parts for a 6.5 X 284 build, and assumed that a long action (Rem 700 vs short) is best. I have a single shot - OAL for cartridge in this rifle is 3.055" ( 139 Lapua Scenar ). Just got a Surgeon DBM / LA for build & seems like ALOT of room in the mag. ( made for 300 Win Mag)...

    Suppressors recommendation for rimfire supressor?

    opinions on brands, etc. ? I'd like to use on .22lr & 22wmr bolt guns- both are threaded 1/2X28. I use my 556 SAS can occasionally on them. Maybe someone knows of an earlier post on this subject...while I'm asking, will a dedicated .22 rimfire suppessor be more quiet than the 556 can? I shoot...

    AICS stock question 1.5 vs 2.0

    I have never used an AICS stock, going to buy one, but....have been told that the non folder must be partially disassembled to run a cleaning rod through the rear of action (taking apart (?!) the stock, riser etc). Apparently the folder does not have this issue, as it folds out of the way. Is...

    Broke out the quiet rifle & stalked a crow. This guy was the size of a bear cub. Used a Win Mod 67 (from the 40's? ), REALLY accurate, trigger has mucho creep tho. Like the one my dad had on the NC farm. He shot drinking straws in half, shooting with rifle over his shoulder, backwards, with...

    Gunsmithing bush firing pin to end cratered primers-worth it?

    I have a new to me (used) rifle. Built on trued Rem 700 action, good components, little use. It came with seller's loaded ammo. All fired brass that came with it has cratered primers.
