    New F T/R rig... Nope!!! Construction Lien

    Well I just returned from one of Uncle Sam's forced savings vacations all excited to spend 2 months of savings on a new F T/R rig to find a USPS certified letter notice in the mail pile. These rarely bring good news in my personal experience. Turns out that the roofing company that did my roof...

    F T/R Competition Muzzle devices in F Class?

    Are muzzle devices allowed in F Open or TR? I read through the rules on the NRA site and I couldn't find anything. The rifles I have seen on the interwebs do not have any and I assumed they were not allowed. Or is there another reason people don't use them?

    F T/R Competition Starter rifle for possible F T/R shooting

    I'm thinking of getting into F T/R shooting and was looking at buying a rifle in a couple weeks when I return to the States. I was thinking a heavy barreled Remington 700 in .308 since it seems like it's the easiest to upgrade in the future. I'd like to stick with a factory rifle to start with...

    Switch block on GAP-10

    Has anybody seen or have a pic of a Noveske Switchblock on a GAP-10? I think I'm going to place an order when I return to the States and was wondering how they positioned the block so you can get to it under the POF rail.

    Rifle Scopes Mini 14 Scout scope

    I'm buying a Mini 14 for my pops when I return to the states and was looking for an optic. He's going to be varmint shooting at pretty close ranges (50-100 yds) and otherwise just screwing around so I figured a lightweight, fast scope would be ideal. I've been looking at the Burris or Leupy...

    Mini 14 load?

    I'm buying a Mini 14 Ranch Rifle for my pops when I return to the states and want to load up some ammo for him. He's going to using it for close in varmint shooting, foxes mainly @75-100 yds I imagine. Any advice on bullet selection would be appreciated.

    Suppressors newbie supressor legality questions

    I'm getting the itch to start shooting with supressors and was wondering some of the legal aspects of it all. Can the supressor be moved from one rifle to another or are they like SBR uppers? Do you need a seperate Tax Stamp for each supressor you purchase?

    I have an RCBS competition seater die for .223 and I'm going to start loading .308. Can I buy a .308 bushing to go into the die or do I need to buy a whole different die?

    RCBS competion die

    Has anybody had any problems with RCBS competition seating dies tearing up bullets? I got one for x-mas and it marred up the ogives pretty bad (I think it looks bad anyway) It really marred up some Berger VLD's I was loading. I ment to save one for pics but I forgot to set it aside and shot it...

    VLD chamfering

    I just got some Berger VLD's and I was wondering how important it is to use a "VLD chamfering tool" as opposed to a regular tool. I can see the difference in the ogive of the Berger compared to a Sierra Matchking but the tail of the bullet apppears to be the longer than the Matchking making it...

    PRI carbon forearm

    I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience with the PRI carbon forearm. I'm having an AR-10 built and I really prefer round handguards over the 4 rail guards. Also does anybody else make round forearms for an AR-10 type rifle.

    Totally at a loss

    I'm new to reloading, about 2000 rounds in my life and I'm totally lost here. I made 200 rounds of .223 with the only difference being 100 were new Winchester cases and 100 were new Lapua cases. I wanted to see if the Lapua's were that much better. I would shoot 10 Winchesters and then 10 Lapuas...

    Turret press question

    I'm fairly new to reloading and wanted to speed the process up a bit by going to a turret press. My question is that I cant really figure out how a turrett presss is that much faster. I am reloading for .223 and .308 auto-loaders. 1. I tumble cases after I resize (full length) to remove any...

    Crimp or no crimp for self-loading rifles?

    I'm fairly new to reloading and wanted ya'lls thoughts on crimping cases for self loading rifles. I've read that crimping cases in semi-auto's is a must because the bullets will "walk" in/out of the cases from the recoil of the rifle so that's what I have been doing for the last year or so with...

I really dig the Mega MA-TEN reciever and I know I'm gonna dump some serious cash into this thing I just don't want to waste money rounding up...
