    1st Suppressor / 1st Day Out (HUXWRX FLOW Range 36 Ti)

    I once shot a half dozen rounds from a buddy’s bolt gun with a popular can from 10 years ago. I think it was a Gen1 RPR. I was blown away with the amount of suppression and have been pining for one ever since. Beyond that I have zero experience firing suppressed. A few months ago, I put out an...

    RPR Barrel Threads (5/8x24 ???) To Suppressor

    Just tried to test fit a HUXWRX 5/8x24 direct thread adpter onto my Gen II RPR (in .308). Won't go a half turn. Tried it on my x39 RAR and fits beautifully. Can't find anything anywhere that indicates the barrel thread should be other than 5/8 x 24. I've got a note in to Ruger tech...

    Seeking Low Back Pressure .30cal Can (so many choices)

    Not sure if this is the best place to post this so, Mod, please move if indicated . Been toying with the idea of getting a .30cal can that I can move around my rifles (so I am new to this world). Mostly milsurp, kit-built or as-built military semi autos i.e. AKMs, FALs, PRT91, PSL, M1A...

    Huber Trigger in my 24/47 (Adjustments/Expectations)

    Anyone ever deal with John Huber's adjustable two-stage triggers in a Mauser. A couple years ago I was so frustrated trying to get his dual ball bearing adjustable two-stage in my M48 I had to send the barreled action to him to dial in. It's not bad but not amazing. Like my M48, I cloned my...

    Shipping a PU Sniper (advice on packing material)

    I have a few PU Snipers I will be putting up for sale. It would be more desirable to go with FTF transactions, but I am not averse to shipping interstate with any rules followed. The question is what to do about packing material? I measure the weights and dims to be roughly 49"x9"x4" @ 10lbs. I...

    Good Score Sunday (SR90 + ACOG)

    Not sure this qualifies as vintage but pretty sure it's configuration is long out of use. A few months ago a guy at our club listed a TA01 for sale @ I think $850 (recently recharged for $260 by Triji). I didn't need one but excellent glass to have as a floater so offered him $600. He declined...

    AR10 on .308/NATO Barrel: Length? Fluted vs. Bull?

    A buddy of mine is getting ready to put together an AR-10 in the thinking about barrels. Fluted versus bull? Length? Pretty much an all-around range toy. Our range currently goes to 400 but would like to see what he can do to rival the performance of his .308 RPR. Maybe out to 800 or 1,000 one...

    8mm 1950s Bulgarian Surp – Save For Reloading or Sell?

    Several years ago I picked up a 2,400 rds of 8mm Bulgy milsurp. Unfortunately, as warned, it’s pretty much all click-bang, hang-fire due to poor primers. The insides of the cases is pretty much clean and for the most part all fire. I spoke to a buddy that reloads and as a cost analysis for...

    Boyds Stocks: Laminate or Solid Walnut ?

    I have a collection of mainly 20th century battle rifles. All presumably milspec’d to withstand the rigors of combat/abuse. Virtually nothing I own, aside from a few in polymer, wears a new commercial wood stock and nothing so seemingly fragile as a Boyds laminate that I feel failed on me...

    Spotting Scope TriPod Recommendations (for a heavy Vortex)

    I have an older, fairly heavy Vortex Skyline ED 20-60x80 (Angled) @ just under 6lbs. Had it for years, the glass is clear and serves my purposes out to 500 or so yards. I'm looking for a lower height/profile tripod for use on a bench or occasionally shooting prone. The few I've tried have...

    CMP3006N "CMP Match" Ammo - Any Intel On This Stuff ?

    Sorry, There isn't a general Ammo section on the forum so I figured this might be a place to run into some intel. Yea, I'll reload on day (and this will make for good brass) but wondering id anyone might know anything about this stuff. Apparently branded and offered by CMP in the early...

    Optic Needed for Intro to Precision Shooting course

    I have been plinking away and slamming steel for years with my 20th century, milsurp / battle rifle collection. Rudimentary instruction from friends in the early days plus and trial and error is how I've been running the last many years. Pretty much everything I shoot has to have glass, now...

    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    Looking for a set of low #22s. A.R.M.S.® #22™ Throw Lever® Rings (Low) NSN 1240-01-569-6707 > ARMS I have some 1" inserts and would be fine with used but I'd like to buy a couple pair. Can't find em anywhere. I sent a message to ARMS on their web-sight asking if they're disco'd or just out...

    Couple Mausers – Which to Glass?

    I know – a potential topic of blasphemy. BUT I just can’t shoot irons anymore. Pretty much all I shoot has to have glass on it. I have many thousands of rounds of corrosive 8mm and only one bolt gun, a Yugo M48 wi ZRAK ONM76B, basically I turned it into a clone of a Yugo Civil War...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    Okay, not a precision caliber BUT I’ve really been digging my PUSnipers and RPR in .308 this last year. Seems my semi autos rarely make it to the range anymore. I do have some x39 projects in the works but thinking about all the corrosive x39 I have squirreled away and I just never use it...

    Rebarrelling an Ex PU Sniper (?)

    Just wondering who / where one would go about considering such a task. Is this ever done? Or a Fool's errand? The rifle in question was kind of a misappropriation of efforts, funds and resources from the beginning. It was an ex-sniper that I resnipered many many years ago in my early collecting...

    Tabuk Sniper Build Underway - Need to Settle on a Scope

    I have a spare ONM76B scope and there’s a real outside chance I may have a line on a x39 elevation cam/drum for it but I’m not holding my breath. I understand all variety of optics may have landed on these rifles in Iraq but I think they typically carried ZRAKs (ONM99 – unobtanium) or PSOs...

    Yugo M48 Trigger Improvements

    I have a Yugo M48 that I cloned into a Yugo civil war era “sniper” wi ONM76B scope . The thing is a "tack driver". Even wi 50’s era Yugo 8mm I can usually hit a 12” plate at 400 yds. Very pleased with results. I could never achieve shots like this with old eyes through irons. The trigger...

    RPR Basic Upgrade Ideas (?)

    Forgot I was a member here and have little experience in "Precision Rifle" world. Definitely a noob. I’m mainly a milsurp collector/shooter. Love DMRs and scope what I can for my old eyes. A couple years ago my wife got me a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308. Finally spent some time with it...
