    Aero M5 receiver owners, a small favor please?

    I was wondering if one of you M5 receiver set owners could do me a favor and measure from the face of the buffer to the face of the lower as seen in the pic? I have reason to believe my m lower may be out of spec... The original buffer retainer has had it's pin bent forward. Thanks for...

    110s and the AAC-SD?

    In my efforts to tiddy up the bench, I found a few hundred Nosler 110's hiding behind a stack of primers. Anybody use these lil' guys in their AAC-SD? From left to right... The 110 Varmageddon, a 125SMK and then my bread and butter 178 Amax...

    Price check isle 5: Rem700 SA barreled action

    Did a bit of searching and found a ton dealing with the aftermarket, but not much about stockers... I have a Rem700 barreled action (.243 heavy out of a VLS) I was going to build as a prairie poodle gun for the now EX girlfriend. I have two other SA's and don't really have the need for a...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Reticle: B20 vs EMD vs ML16

    With so many reticle choices in the 4-14x44, how does one choose? By looks alone, I'm partial to the B20... OR does it go deeper than just aesthetics? This new glass will start life on top of a Rem 700 AAC-SD and as time goes on, and funds allow better glass, it may find it's way to a...

    .308 subs: hunting rounds?

    Curious... Are there any .308 subsonic loads that would be decent hunting rounds for, say, whitetail deer? If so, at what range? Any clue as top downrange energy?

    Muzzle dims on Remmy 700 AAC-SD

    Howdy all... I have a Remington 700 AAC on the way and was wondering if any of you have the dimensions of the barrel and threaded section? I'd like to order a brake for it, but think I may need additional info... I know the threads are 5/8-24, but how long? What's the diameter at the...

    I have a stainless full size 1911 I'd like to turn into a two tone color scheme to match my other carry gun. What would the best way be to change the frame from S.S. to a more parkerized looking finish? Also... Who would you trust to do this work on your pride and joy?

    What to look for in a progressive press?

    Over the weekend, I loaded up close to 1K of handgun ammo for the .45acp and 9mm. I'm done with a single stage press and manual case prep. With 3 shooters in the family... Let's just say my supply is way down already! Been hearing good things about the Dillon 550's... Is this a good way to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Full size 1911.... In 9mm? Your thoughts?

    I've become interested in a full sized 1911 in 9mm for a range tool and possible carry. I carry a 3", 1911 .45ACP currently and now with winter upon us here in the north, a full size can be concealed without worry of printing... What do you think? Is a 9mm full size 1911 a viable option for...

    Rifle Scopes Advice needed on M1A optics.

    Hi all... Currently residing on me Bassett Machine mount is a Bushy 10x in low rings. I like the scope but not when it's mounted on the M1A. The lack of eye relief forces me to "push" my "chin weld" forward on the stock. It's do-able but not naturally comfortable. Makes me ponder the idea...

    Decided on a SA M1A... And what else?

    I've always wanted one and now have decided to finally take the plunge and pick up a SA M1A. Most likely it will be a Loaded model but might go for the N/M if I can find a good deal. - All that said, what support gear am I going to need? Any special tools that are a "gotta have"? - I have a...

    Prefered case: Soft or hard sided?

    You're off to the range, you grab a couple rifles out of the safe, but what travel case(s) do you grab? Hard case, Pelican style or soft sided, drag bag style? Which to you prefer and why?

    Stock, barreled action in a Hi Perf Stock?

    Question for the hide... Will a stock barreled action, let's say one removed from a "off the rack" rifle like a 700P, reap the benefits of a high performance shooting platform such as a AICS? Or would it be like dropping a Honda 50 engine in a drag bike frame? Then you pull the 50 engine...

    AI chassis system for my .300WM project. Question

    My .300WM is coming along and I've fallen in lust with the AICS chassis systems. The current HS stock fits me "okay" but I've never really warmed up to it. That... And the AISC 1.5 is cool as hell! There, got that out of the way. Anywho... I've heard from a few that it's a love / hate...
