    Gunsmithing Cleaning nickel handgun finish

    This question is not precision rifle related, but knowing the Hide, I figured I would be able to get a knowledgeable answer here. I have a buddy that has a Colt 1903 .32 ACP with a nickel finish. It has been seriously neglected and abused over time and has a few spots where the finish is...

    CCI AR Tac .22 lr ammo?

    Anybody seen this stuff yet? I saw it in a Cabela's ad. CCI Tactical .22LR Ammunition with Dry Box Engineered for optimal velocity and accuracy in AR-style .22LR firearms. Loaded with 40-gr. copper-plated bullets, these rounds deliver a muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps. I did not see anything...

    Gunsmithing How to inlay a medallion in a stock?

    I am in the process of building my wife a rifle for a Christmas gift and would like to inlay a medallion in the stock. The medallion is about 1 3/4" in diameter and about 1/16 inch thick, and will be going into a laminated wood stock, on the right side of the butt, opposite of the cheek rest...

    Carrying extra ammo in the field...

    I have been looking for a way to carry extra ammo for my bolt action rifles while in the field that would not be as noisy as the plastic MTM ammo boxes. I have heard of people using the plastic inserts that Federal uses in their packaging, or the ammo wallets / rolls. I was thinking of trying to...

    Hard case for two scoped rifles?

    I am looking to upgrade rifles cases over the cheap case I have been using for years. I would like to be able to carry my .223 and .308 in the same case if possible, as they usually travel together. I was looking at some Pelican cases and found the 1750 to be long enough to fit both rifles, but...

    Funky marks on primers?

    I went shooting last week with a buddy that was using a POF piston rifle. He gave me a bunch of brass that he had fired that day. When I got home and was looking at them noticed the primers had a funky mark on them. As you can see in the pics, they have the normal dimple from the firing pin, but...

    Where to start?

    I guess that is a bit misleading, as I have been shooting for many years, and have done some longer range shooting before, si I am not a total newb. I am really getting into the long range stuff and want to learn more. After reading some threads here, I realize I need to push a little harder and...

    Range Report Data generating programs

    Big time newb questions here, so I apologize if they have been asked before. I tried a search and didn't find exact answers, so I figured a new post would be ok. I am curious about the data generated by the different programs out there. Is it supposed to be dead on, or more of a "suggestion"...

    Another alternative to Krylon

    I noticed in the other thread about alternatives to Krylon that a few people commented on wanting a broader range of colors. I have used Testors Model Master paints with pretty good success. While they are a model paint, letting them dry well, then applying several light coats of a good matte...
