    Is scope mounting rocket science?

    Both pics from current listings on the VA Gun Trader. The pistol scope is mounted backwards, and the rifle scope is rotated 90 degrees CCW. Both are decent firearms, with decent scopes - not Walmart gear. Are people really this clueless?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How to remove carbon from a Smith & Wesson?

    Picked up a new Stainless 686 .357, and put 150 rounds through it. Love the gun, but I've never seen such a mother*&@#*! when it comes to cleaning. Broke out the Scotch-Brite pad I use to clean AR bolts with (soaked in Hoppes No. 9), and had to scrub the hell out of the front of the cylinder...

    Bad day for this criminal

    Rifle Scopes S&B stopping 10x42 production?

    Looks like the S&B PM II 10x42 fixed is no longer listed in their catalog, or on their website. Anyone know if they're stopping production of this model?

    Question about transferring a firearm

    Am selling a used rifle in the same state. If I'm on travel, can I have an adult family member deliver the rifle (actually meet the buyer halfway), or should I go through my FFL and insist the the buyer comes to him (or has him ship to his FFL)? I can't seem to find a good answer, and I'd...

    Are there any issues with older AI AW chassis?

    Was reading a Sniper's Hide article about the AI Armorers Course, and came across the following statement... "The key learning points are very much similar to what I wrote above so I won’t repeat them, but one thing I learned is just how far warranty and support with go with this rifle. Several...

    Upgraded to a 14 year old AI AW

    After coming to the realization that upgrading my Remington would leave only the original receiver (and a long wait), I started looking into other options. I was just about ready to order an AI AE, when I spotted this low round count (<300) 98 model AI AW in the Sale Forum. Since it came as a...

    AI AW - Use 7.62x51mm or .308?

    Just wondering if someone can clarify which type of ammo works best in an AI AW. The barrel is marked 7.62x51mm, but the owner's manual also recommends ".308 168gn Match". I know there are pressure differences between the two cartridges. Does AI chamber these for .308 and mark them as...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII 10x42 - Anyone stocking these?

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a dealer that has a S&B PMII 10x42 in stock? I ordered one online from a dealer listing "4 available", but just found out they have none. I was told they are backordered with a 2-6 month wait time. I tried multiple optics dealers and while no one had them in...

    Remington 5R AICS vs. AI AE MK III 24"

    Been thinking about ordering a AI AE, and I'm trying to determine (to the greatest extent possible) what my impressions of this rifle would be vs. my current 5R in an AICS. I'm guessing that most AI owners have had their hands on a Remington 700, and can offer some good advice. Here are my...

    AICS setup questions

    I've recently purchased an AICS 2.0 for my 5R. I'm currently on travel, and I'm trying to order everything I need prior to my return. Have a few questions for those familiar with the AICS. Is the AI bipod a significant improvement over a Harris? The AICS I ordered has what appears to be a...

    Rem 5R difference between FGMM and Prvi (pic)

    Left target is 168 gr Federal Gold Medal Match. Right target is Prvi Partizan 175 gr Match. Targets were shot left to right, top to bottom, alternating every 5 rounds. Identical conditions. Guess this pretty much underscores the importance of using good quality ammo.

    Anyone make a rail for a H-S Presision stock?

    Am thinking about upgrading bipods, and was wondering if anyone makes a Picatinny rail that uses the existing pair of swivel stud holes on a H-S Precision stock?

    Remington 5R finished & fairly accurate

    I'm pretty satisfied with the 5R. Installed a new USO, and ran some decent ammo through it for the first time on Fri. Looks like it's capable of a little under .5 MOA with FGMM 168 - with me driving. I'm certainly no expert at this. Am right at 500 rounds total, and the action has smoothed out...
