I've recently decided to wade into reloading for 5.56 and I have some questions. I'm looking to develop a MK 262 clone for my two ARs, a 16" midlength and a 12.5" pistol, both BCMs, 1/7, one a BFH and one standard, I have just over 1K of Sierra 77gr MKs to play with. I haven't purchased...

For those of you with .308 ARs what stocks are you using? Also those of you who use stocks like the SOPMOD, CTR or other lightweight collapsible stocks do you feel that it causing a imbalance in the handling, making it muzzle heavy? especially those with 18" or longer barrels and or have cans...

As the title suggests, I recently learned that I am going to head to Afghanistan sometime next year to be part of an SFAAT team as the NCOIC and Fires NCO. Keep in mind I've only been 13F qualified for about 2 years, just became JFO certified and have never been to Afghanistan. My questions...

Got some pretty decent pictures of the shuttle today as it flew overhead on its tour of LA before landing at LAX. I drove up into the hills not far from my house and found a spot that gave a good view of Griffith Observatory way off in the distance and a pretty good expanse towards JPL...

I've only been here in CA for 2.5 years, coming from NY, and I'm ready to pull stakes for someplace better. I figure I have one year left on my current enlistment and finish my current schooling shortly before then (convenient) so unless I can find a kickass job with a huge paycheck or I get...

For a school project, I have been building a miniature cannon, it was that or miniature steam engine, maybe I'll do that the second half of the semester. I fully intend on making it fully functional. Its not completely done yet but I thought I'd share some pictures of the progress. The barrel...

Afternoon gentlemen, I have been torn on a decision and could use some objective input. The other day I received an email stating that another unit is potentially deploying to Afghanistan later this year and are looking for senior enlisted personnel in 13F, 11B, 31B, and 68W. I hold the first...

Just out of curiosity, when Gov. Agencies purchase various NNFA items, whether its SBRs or suppressors or what have you, do they have to do the whole form 4/ $200 tax stamp routine or do they just buy the items and call it good?

Hey all, I thought I'd share a bit about how things are going for me as of late, hopefully it will be cathartic. As some of you may know from previous postings, I moved out to CA back in Jan to be with my fiancee who dumped me a month later. Since then I've had difficulty finding work, I tried...

When I was working nights in Syracuse NY back in '03/'04 I heard a live performance on one of the rock stations, a tribute to 9-11 I think that was a heavy metal band playing with a orchestra and choir. For the life of me I can't remember who it was, just that it was epic. I'm pretty sure it...

I have a McM A5 with the thumbwheel adjustable cheek piece and have noticed that its been getting pretty slick from usage, making it difficult to maintain a proper cheekweld. I have come up with a cheap, fast method of combating it. I had some of the camo wrap stuff laying around, the stuff...

Does anyone know the length added to the barrel using the AAC Blackout 51T muzzle brake? I'm looking to build a new upper for my AR and want to make sure that the brake will get me to the 16" mark with a 14.5 barrel.

I currently own an RCBS rock chucker and a lee turrett press, with both of them being attached to a 2x6 that is in turn clamped to my bench top. I was looking at Dillon's website and saw their steel mounts that raise the press up and mounts to the bench top. Thse look like a great idea. Does...

I have a new buttstock coming for my AR thursday but the site I bought it off of didn't have the wrench for sale as well and I don't have one. I'll have one to use saturday when I go to the range but I'd like to have the rifle set up before I leave for the range. Does anyone know how to...

Just watched the first episode, decent for a reality TV show. So who on here is on the show?

I just got home from Visiting the US Optics facility and I have to say, I was impressed. Jeff took time out to take me around and show me all the work stations and how the internals of the scopes go together and actually function. At the risk of sounding like a fan boy, if anyone is on the...

I finally was able to pull enough of my reloading equipment out of storage to load up some .308s for a shoot this saturday. Once I got everything set up and was ready to throw some powder I noticed that the key pad of my Chargemaster is jacked up, when I press 1 it registers 2, 4 gives me 5...

My cousin is an E-4 in the 82nd Airborne as a Radiologist and is currently down in Haiti helping out. He posted on his facebook profile that he broke up with his Haitian girlfriend about a month ago, She's been crushed ever since.

Gun Definitions (Probably posted, nevertheless very funny and partially accurate) M14/M1A: Clunky, heavy, and overpowered. Essentially a Garand tarted up with a removable magazine, in a half-baked attempt to adapt a 19th century rifle design philosophy to the mid-20th century. Most often named...
