Has anyone ever removed the release button from either a Dakota arms or Sunnyhill bottom metal unit? And more importantly did it go back together and function properly afterwards? I was thinking of possibly doing some work to add texture to the button of a unit I have and was thinking it would...

Apologies for this if its rediculous. But I wanted to ask if for say a thin 1mm or so gap between stock pillar and bottom metal, could the bottom metal be bedded to the stock? Action bedding I know of but I've never heard of bedding the bottom metal. Or would if be better to ad a shim to...

This is probably best suited to a varmint or bencrest forum, I apologize if its out of place here though I know many folks here shoot the small critter guns. Does anyone remember the old (1980s/early 90s catologe) walnut-stocked Howa varmint? It may have been called Howa Lightning Varmint as I...

I've been getting conflicting info on the civy mk4m3 10x. I understand that both the old Ultra M3A and later Mk4 M3A had a etched glass reticle but mk4 M3 had a wire reticle. I than hear that later mk4M3 has etched glass reticle just as the older M3A did. I have a M4M3 that I initially was...

I've searched high and dry for info on stock flex messing with accuracy in HS stock. I've found only two references on the possible problem. The owner of Shillen Rifles spoke about HS stocks being too flexible in the forend. The other reference I found with more detail was a long ago discussion...

Feel free to tell me to jump in a lake with thread as it may be a stupid thing to ask, But other than the earlier use of the Redfield accurange on the initial M40A1s, have there been any use of scopes other than the Unertl "Marine Sniper" and USO MST100? Any other USOs like the SN3, or any leupy...

If this is political or religeous I apologize, but I don't think it falls in that cat. The "west" is being threatened by Iran. They claim there will be a "punch" to the west on Feb 11. Anyone want to guess what that means? I'm not trying to make light of this, nor am I wanting to be a fear...

Does anyone know what the XM24A1 is all about? I saw somewhere that it was just a test example early on in 300winmag. I know the Army is looking to do the 300winmag thing with a new stock(AICS?) but supposedly the XM24A1 was something done much earlier for testing. Can anyone clarify...

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. It is ammo related. World wide prices of metals are all going up. Copper is getting up there faster than other metals it seems. Is there developement or thought regarding finding substitute metals for ammunition? When I ask this I'm wondering...
