    Gunsmithing Gunsmith school?

    Take a week or two of your vacation and take a class at your closest NRA Summer GS School. Years back Lassen was GREAT! Lots of LE and part-time GS taking classes. One 15 year old spent nearly the whole summer there one year, with his dad coming for a couple of weeks throughout the summer and...

    Why do my groups look like this?

    In what order are the shots going in? 1 left, 2 right, 3 left, ect.? It almost looks like it's double grouping, shifting in the bedding between shots. Is this in a stock or chassis? Is it bedded? Keep shooting!

    Action options for 300blk bolt gun?

    What Barney said. I don't shoot suppressed all the time and so a lot of my 300 BLK is supersonic. 308 is just as easy. Also, if you do go 300 BLK, just go Rem 700 vs Model 7. The full size is easier to stock and put bottom metal on, you don't save much weight or size with a Seven. A small bolt...

    New Bolt Action which should it be?

    Suck it up and get a GAP or an AI. You soon realize you should have gotten one long ago and you'll know why they're worth it. 8 or 10 years and a few barrels in, you'll realize it was actually cheap and you should have gotten a couple more. True story.

    Brown Precision Kevlar Stocks?

    The Pounders are great! Light and shoot great. They way they are laid up they handle the recoil well, the single layer is strong enough to handle it. But because it's a single layer, it doesn't have as much lateral strength. Glass and carbon have to have multiple layers to be strong enough to...

    Maggie’s Military Jeopardy

    What is some movie I don't know the title of. I'm guessing whoever comes up with the right question gets to provide the next answer. Jump in. Could be a book.

    Gunsmithing Dry firing and broken firing pins

    Any modern arm should be able to be dry fired. If it breaks, something was wrong. Better to find out at home than on the top of a mountain.

    bbowles, those numbers look great. How did the scopes do on the way back down? That's what this thread is about.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 4 M1 can you still be comptitive with it?

    Back in the day 10x was plenty. Still is, if you're after meter size targets at supersonic ranges (the old Sac Valley B-27 target to 1k). The challenge is shooters have gotten better and you have to spread out the bell curve to prevent ties at the top. The easiest way to do that is smaller...

    Rifle Scopes Return to zero failures

    Does the use of 20 and 30 MOA rails add anything to this? It has come up in the past that with a 20 moa mount the erector springs are compressed more to get to a 100 yd. zero. The springs reside longer in this compressed state, leading to possible weakening. It was suggested that storing rifles...

    Gunsmithing Dremel tool

    Dremel: corded, variable speed. Everyone needs one. If you're setting up a mill just to cut AR front sight set-screw centering slots, you're wasting yours and your customers time.

    Badger M2013 Opinions

    If you're going to run an AW mag (double-stack, double-feed), a Badger is THE CHOICE other than AI. The bolt always runs. The bolt lift is a little heavier but you have to think about it to even notice. When your mind is on the target, you'll never notice. If you're going to change stocks every...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Apparently he was also saving noses. He'd keep them until he had half a dozen or so, then slice them thin and put them on a pizza. Dahmer-nose pizzas were apparently on of his favorite things.

    Movie Theater Enders game

    Great book. If you listen to the book on tape (CD), it has an interview with Card at the end where he talks about all the challenges of getting the movie made. Hollywood wanted Ender to be 16 with a love interest. Tolkien, Crais, and Childs are the only other authors whose books get re-read as...

    Gunsmithing My rifle needs Jenny Craig

    Keep it and build another rifle. The GS money you'd put into messing with this barrel might as well go into another. Actions are cheap considering you'll still have an action worth close to what you paid for it. You didn't say what stock you're running, sometimes that's the toughest bullet to...
