    Please school me on short barrel .308's

    My ADD has kicked in spurred by the fact that my buddy is turning out some pretty damn accurate barrels and I'm just about out of things to Cerakote. I have components that NEED to be built into a shorty .308:D I've been browsing the stubby rifle thread and notice a lot have high twist rates...

    Gunsmithing Will a 7SAUM go gauge work for a 6.5 4S SAUM chamber?

    I'm having a friend spin up a 6.5 4S SAUM barrel for me when the PTG reamer I ordered gets here. He already has the gauges for a 7SAUM so I'd hate to buy the exact same gauge and never use it. I would've just asked PTG but my buddy forgot to mention he needed a go gauge when I asked him what to...

    Night Vision What hearing protection are you guys using with your helmet setups?

    Just wanted to see what the cool guys are using with their NVG helmet rigs. I'm looking for some decent electronic hearing protection to wear with mine. I'm sure it's been covered before but I still can't get this search function to work very well. Thanks and have a great weekend -Komishe

    Anybody have 357GWM load data to share?

    I'm trying to help my friend get some data for his LAR Grizzly and 357GizzlyWinMag data is pretty scarce on the enterweb. He has 1 load for 2400 powder that came with the gun but I couldn't scour any up locally. I have 140 and 158 grain bullets for him and h110,w296 and some blue dot. Not...

    How the eff do I get this bolt knob off of my MPR64?!?

    I googled around and it seems some of the guys at RFC were soaking in acetone to soften the JB weld or whatever the heck Anschutz uses to glue them on. After an hour of soaking, mine still feels like the bolt handle is in danger of snapping off when I try to loosen it. Any tips from the pros?

    who's the most shooter friendly gun rental in Las Vegas?

    I know I've seen this asked before, but using the search engine here turned up a bunch of odds and ends as usual. Just looking for the least tourist trappy place to rent some of the cool kid toys they won't let me play with in good ol' CA. Looking to shoot all sorts. Not just MP5's and uzi's...

    A HUGE thanks for all the great CZ DIY write ups!

    Thanks to JBell,Justin,BM11,Charger,BenY and everyone else who's taken the time to share tips and tricks for me to use. Taking the advice of many,many enternet folk, I've resisted the urge to spend any money on the 455 and buy a Anschutz instead. Now that the 64 MPR is finally on the way, I...

    Pretty hot brass into pretty cold water.....Is it safe?

    I'm just getting into reloading and I fear I may have ruined some brass. I was running some brass in a HF Chicago Electric sonic cleaner with the heater on for around 1/2 hour. I'm unsure of how hot it gets, but guessing somewhere in the 200+ range. Like a doofus, I took the clean brass and...

    Manners made me glad(guaging interest for MPR 64 stocks)

    It's a pretty sweet world we live in where Tom Manners himself is communicating with his customers on this very website:D Judging from Orkan's post, there's a lot of interest in a Manners stock for the Anshutz MPR 64. I don't even own a 64 yet, but I WILL have one. I've been lusting for one...

    Rifle Scopes Will these blemishes affect performance/value?

    I've never noticed these until today. I bought it brand new from Midway about a year ago and used it for four or five trips to BLM land. 300 rounds or so from 100 to 750y. Never noticed 'em . Switched to Mil. system and rifles better suited for long range, so its just been sitting on the rifle...

    Gunsmithing LPH-80 air settings and Cerakoting actions questions

    I'm not sure if I should keep posting Cerakote questions here, as it's not all that smithy but I trust the advice over here a little bit more than I do from the DIY section:D LPH-80 QUESTION#1 Curious what PSI in and needle settings you guys are using for Cerakote. Sometimes I dial down to a...

    Gunsmithing any tips on de-greasing an AK for cerakote?

    On my fifth gas-out right now, fingers x-ed. Initial Acetone soak was an hour with a gentle agitation every 15 minutes. Half hour gas-outs at 250 degrees. 20-30 minute soaks with 30 minute purges for all following attempts(soak #3 was an all nighter) This is my 2nd AK. The only difference I...

    yet ANOTHER accuracy and barrel question thread............

    yep So, there's a million articles on .22lr shooting .25" at 25 and 50 yards, and if th' enternet is correct, there's a zillion Rugers and Savages that hold MOA out to 400...... My problem is, everything seems to shoot great at 50y. It's after 50 where a good rifle and ammo seems to stand out...

    .22 Ballistics questions

    I'm looking for help finding the b.c. of Lapua Center-X,Wolf and SK standard, as well as the MV's from a stock CZ pt 20.5" barrel. I found an extensive table of Lapua b.c's in the rimfire learnings, but no Center-X, and numbers from .109 to .150(ish) Wolf b.c's were missing, due to the mfg. not...

    Gunsmithing seeking professional advice on Cerakote finishing

    Well I got my Iawata mini hvlp spray gun last week and a fridge full of Cerakote. I figured since you can learn anything on th' enternet, I'd be an expert by the time it arrived. The amount of poor advice on this subject is astounding. I decided to break down and get training direct from NIC...
