    Anschutz 1717 Meister grade.

    Just wanted to show fellow rimfire enthusiasts my Annie. It's the 1717 Meister grade with pillar bedding done and the inner stock sealed. Large bolt handle much better than the two finger ball that was on there.............. http://erdept.smugmug.com/gallery/8445720_Q9oY5#555066671_sbUmi...

    Gunsmithing Barrel cleaning, bore brush and chamber brush.

    How often are you using the bore brush if your patches come out dark on the first swipe and successively lighter on the following swipes with patches. In five passes with the patches, I'm really not getting any dirt. Are you using your brush at all or just using the patches? How often do...

    Does anyone have a pet/standard .308 load recipe that you'd care to give me. I'm just trying to avoid buying a whole reloading book just to get one load. Looking for 308 with 168 and 175 grian bullets. Thank you.

    AR sight help.

    Sighting in my AR irons and EoTech today. Got everything sighted in but my rear Troy sight is almost all the way over to my left as I sit behind the gun. I'd say 75% there. Is this OK anyway, cause it is on target after all or is there an issue? MY SETUP: CMMG lower, LWRC UPPER with rail in...

    Gunsmithing S&W 625 broken yoke retaining pin

    The pin that holds the yoke that, in turn, holds the cylinder is broken. In the hole, I can see the pin and what seems to be a spring. How easy is this for me to repair? Im pointing at the rod with the grove that is held in by the little pin, with the oven thermometer.

    Benelli M4, stock chop, complete.

    Many I have heard dislike the fact that the Benelli M4 stock has a long LOP. It's made for chipmanzee's I suppose. But, for some regualr shaped folks and those wearing armor, it snags, and to pull the gun consciously forward eats seconds away. So I started a thread on how I started to chop the...

    Gunsmithing What's this crud on my revolver

    This is a S&W 625 shooting only FMJ's. I can get each cylinder and it's forcing cone clean and the barrel clean, except for the first point of contact where the bullet leaves the cylinders and enters the barrel. I used Break Free CLP and EEZOX and a wire brush but it won't budge. Can you tell...

    Gunsmithing Which AR buffer and spring do I use?

    Shorter barrel is more accurate thread help.

    I"m trying to tell someone who believes that the longer the barrel the more accurate the rifle. I understand magnums may need more length, but for the .308, I"m tryng to find the post where they used a hacksaw to cut the barrel and the rifle shot fine. Or any other post in which the barrel...

    MY AR 15 is a bad choice for my situation right?

    First, I live in CALIFORNIA. Keep that in mind. So I bought a CMMG recievered AR with a LWRC upper, in the event of a social melt down here. Which may happen due to riots, which have happend OR a biq quake and we're left w/o power and limitations on food. I got the AR as just and extra tool to...

    Benelli M4, Too long LOP, so I chopped it.

    I find the Benelli M4's pistol grip buttstock to be waaaayy to long for me. It's difficult to shoulder fast as well cause you have to consciously bring the gun away from your body or it snags on clothes. Beyond that, I don't know how it would ever be able to be shouldered if wearing body...

    Gunsmithing Suggest a gunsmith to bed a non tactical rifle.

    I got an very nice Anschutz with exhibition grade wood and wanted to bed the action. So is there a gunsmith who can take good care and not mar the finish, yet do a great bedding job on this you can recommend? I ask this because although some smiths specialize in tactical, precision rifles...

    .44 special as a hog round

    I know I could easily use the .44 mag in my Thompson Contender and that would be plenty for a well placed shot on a 200 lb pig. But, my question to you is, what's your take on the .44 special as a pig round or small deer round. Distance, <100yards.

    Is .17 HMR more accurate than .22 LR?

    I've been reading on different sites, when they had rimfire matches,.22 was the only thing out there. Then with the advent of a totally new bullet design and with it's ballistics differences, the .17 HMR was out performing the .22. With some new records being broken at clubs that were...

    Rifle Scopes EOTech vs. Holosight,

    Is there any optical difference between the Holosite and the EOTech besides the external protection and the Night vision button that lets it go down ten level in brightness? They're essentially the same in function right?

    Ruger PC 40 carbine.

    I just got a very lightly used Ruger PC 40 (.40 cal) carbine. This thing is tiny. A little larger than the .22 cricket bolt gun for kids. It's great. Very rugged and reliable. Cycled everything. Including the worst rounds in the world, RANGE RELOADS. Well especially at my range. They're all ill...

    How often to dis-assemble the actual bolt to clean

    Just wondering how often your cleaning frequency is for the internals of a bolt, on a bolt actuated rifle? You know, the firing pin, the channel it resides in, etc.

    Surefire muzzle brake, opinions please.

    I used the search funtion and find lots of info on Surfire lights, but not really anything on the brake. I asked in the Vias brake thread about how they compared but really didn't get anything. SO, for those of you who have the SUREFIRE muzzle brake, what do you think? Surfire seems to make a...
