    Suppressors "The Dip" is more poisonous than hydrogen cyanide?

    I kid, but reading on line has gotten me a bit paranoid! I used my Surefire MINI with a FH556-212 adapter for 600 or so rounds rather than the brake that I run on other guns. It apparently causes different buildup on the inside of the can, and I couldn't get it on my brake adapter after. Long...

    M1A accuracy potential?

    Hello all, Every time I see an M1A in a Sage Mod 0, I really start thinking about how I "need" one. The sticking point for me is that if the rifle is going to weigh 15-20 pounds, it's only real purpose for me at that point would be as a precision rifle. And I would want it to be a sub MOA...

    Cigar thread 2.0

    Well, it's that time of year again, and I figure it's a great opportunity to start a "What Are You Smoking" thread. Post up what you've smoked recently for cigars (pictures included) along with what you paired it with, tasting notes, etc. Tonight I'm enjoying a Padron 1964 Maduro, if I remember...

    KAC SR-15 LPR range report, with 16 groups posted.

    I've had my LPR for a few weeks now, and felt I owed it to the hide to post up a range report in return for all the advice I got pre purchase. First, a picture of the setup to keep those of you with ADD interested: SR-15 Light Precision Rifle with a Magpul STR stock and MIAD grip added...

    Precision 5.56 AR worth it when you already have a .308 semi?

    I've been debating buying an LPR since they came out. I found an upper in stock, which works great for me since I already have a SR-15 IWS SBR Carbine, and like the idea of saving $750 and using one lower with 2 uppers. That said, I'm debating the "need." I already have a SR-25 ECC, so this...

    AK-47 hang fire issues?

    Today I had my new (to me) Arsenal SAM-7 at the range for the first time, and found it to be a very smooth shooter. However, out of the 125 rounds I fired, I had two hang fires where the hammer dropped and there was a quarter second or so delay before the round fired. Is this ammo related or the...

    Got the AK itch, looking for some advice.

    OK, I've decided it's time my collection needs an AK-47 variant. I do believe the AR-15 to be the superior weapon system, however, this is all about diversity. I don't do anything half ass and don't really plan on doing that here either. I feel it's almost oxymoronic to say that I want a...

    Chargemaster scale magnetized?

    So, either my Chargemaster has developed an issue, or I have missed this trait the last couple years I have used it. I was loading last Thursday, and I noticed that when I'd hold the powder tray over the tray holder (or whatever that black piece the tray sits on is called,) that the indicated...

    Redding S Type .308 Neck Die for .260 Remington?

    I believe I've asked this before, but it's been years and I can't find the answer. If you were to swap out the bushing and decapping rod, is there any reason why a .308 bushing neck die couldn't be used for a .260? I know that the neck/shoulder junction is higher on the .260 relative to the case...

    2013 TRG 22/42 trigger inferior in feel to prior trigger?

    Hello all, I just got done playing with a TRG 22 with the new 2013 upgrades, and while it is a great rifle, the one thing that stuck with me is that the trigger doesn't feel much at all like the old one. I'm all for reliability upgrades, but not at the expense of the defining characteristics...

    Anschutz 54.18 MSR for prone?

    I have a line on a 54.18 MSR with a factory McMillan thumbhole stock. Before I "pull the trigger" (excuse the pun) I'm just curious to hear from those on here whether ir not these rifles are comfortable to shoot prone (off a bipod.) I know they don't have an Anschutz rail or bipod stud from the...

    Warning- Anschutz 54 rifles not safe to dry fire

    Well, I wanted to share, to hopefully spare someone else the headache and heartache I went through last night. My new-to-me Anschutz 1827b (54 action) came in, and I was very excited. Thinking that most modern rimfires have controlled firing pin protrusion, and not being new to rimfires, I dry...

    Bought myself a new "trainer" today... Anschutz 1827 (54 action repeater!)

    Well, If you have followed any of my posts, you know I envy jbell's Sauer 200TR. Every now and again my built CZ 455PT will keep up, but not consistently. Someone will shout "shooter" but save it, I can hop on his rifle and match his shooting. I've gone about as far as I can with the CZ, so...

    I'm officially boycotting "The Big Apple" (store.)

    Being a nice afternoon and needing beer, I invited my wife to walk down to The Big Apple with me. It's not my favorite store, but it's close, and as such, we go there a couple times a week. I grabbed a 6'er of Magic Hat, and a carton of eggs, and head to the register. The cashier asked to see...

    Went a little crazt at the B&M cigar shop yesterday...

    Made the drive up to Bangor to visit the states largest walk in humidor, and the place was pretty cool. The front area is a cigar lounge with plush leather recliners and ash trays set up in front of a big screen as a smoking lounge. The owner was cool as hell, and there were a number of guys...

    Kestrel 4500 Hygrometer accuracy?

    Quick question: anyone know how accurate the hygrometer function (humidity %) of the Kestrel 4500nv is? The RESOLUTION is to the 1/10th degree, which suggests an accurate reading, but I couldn't find the spec online in the quick search I did. I was hoping one of you fellas could help me out...

    quick favor to ask of any KAC ECC/EMC owners...

    Could one of you please remove the bottom rail section of your rifle an and get me the outside diameter of the barrel underneath the handguard? And I assume that it is a straight taper, but if you could make a measurement at the barrel nut amd at the gas block, that would be fantastic...

    I need a cigar education!

    I've been enjoying some good cigars lately, but admittedly, I have more dollars than sense. I generally go by the price, but would like to know better what the hell I'm doing. Tonight I enjoyed a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Toro. Not crazy expensive, but I really enjoyed it! Last weekend I had a...

    Help me identify this .30 cal 155 grain "mystery bullet"

    I bought thousands of 155 Scenars in various 1000-2000 bullet lots on here. Getting toward the end of my supply, I stumbled upon a number of bullets that are NOT 155 Scenars, when I was setting up my seating die and I had a .020" (from memory) delta between some of the loads. I imagine that I...

    over tumbled brass?

    Stupid question. I just bought a tumbler, I was cleaning everything by hand. It wasn't a big deal until I started loading for a semi, then I had to get a tumbler. Should have done it sooner! I went shooting yesterday morning and then I came home and threw a load of Lapua .308 brass in the...
