    Photos My Boy!

    I was working a weapons display so I let my son get down and dirty with the M2. I didnt even have to show where to put his hand or where to look. Kind of scary.

    Hunting & Fishing Hogs in South Central New Mexico

    Me and some friends drove around yesterday in the mountains between Alamogordo and Mayhill. We did not see any hogs. Plenty of deer and one elk. At one watering hold we did find tracks and areas they have destroyed. We went in and talked to a ranger and he gave us a map with the areas where they...

    FGMM .308 vs 7.62

    I searched for the answer but could not come up with anything conclusive. I have been hunting around for the cheapest FGMM 175s. I keep seeing the FGMM 7.62 like in the link below. What is the difference? I know the technical specs on both rounds respectively. On the federal site it does not...

    INSTALLED McRee's new Rem-age barrel kit. Updated

    I have been thinking about getting a new barrel for my Rem 700 SPS Tac for a while. During my all expenses paid trip to Iraq I spent my down time reading on every barrel choice I could. I just happened to run across McRees new kit on his site while I was showing someone where I got my stock...

    Ouch Altitude.

    Just got back from Iraq. Was running 5-8 miles a day. Came back to new mexico. My house is at 5700 feet. And ouch. The hills and altitude hurt. I think my lowest point was about 5200 ft and my highest was 6000. Felt like my lungs were on fire and I only ran 3 miles.

    Range Report Another Happy McRee Owner

    I got my McRee Friday and had some fresh 175SMKs loaded. Just the feel of the gun now is worth the investment. The stability is awesome. The action actually cycles a ton better and smoother. Shot a bit at 100yd on Saturday and was extremely impressed. Practically all the same hole. Today I was...

    How tell if a barrel is match?

    I was just given a 16 inch 5.56 barrel and was told that it was a match barrel. Is there any way to tell this? It is a 1 in 9 twist and it is not chrome lined. It also requires a screw on gas block and not the pin type.

    M118LR Specs? I got a 1.5 Group @ 500

    I am having a friend work up loads for my Rem 700 SPS Tact. I also had 9 rounds left over of M118LR. My first 3 shots were the M118 and I shot a 1.5 inch group at 500 yards. He worked up 3 loads for me. Some 180gr SMK BTHP, 168gr SMK BTHP and some 155s. I did get a chance to shoot only the 180s...

    Gunsmithing DPMS LR 308 Trigger work

    So I bought one last month and have never liked the exsessive trigger creep and random release. So I was bored at work wating for students and I pulled it all appart and got the dremmel out. I used the wire brish and then the polisher and I have got it down to a crisp break. I then went out and...

    Purple Tip 7.62?

    I was at the range for work today. Red Rio Aircraft/Ground range. When helicoptors are done shooting they rip the end of the linked ammo and toss it. Well I found about 200 lnked 7.62 and it had purple tip ammo. it was 1 purple tip to 10 ball rounds. I am confused. Is it incendiary? API? APIT?

So I took it back to the shop and barely had to tap on it with a cleaning rod to get it out. put a live round in it and sent the bolt foreward and pulled it back...
