    Defiance action corrosion protection

    Thank you Terry, I really appreciate it. I'm still waiting on the third action. When I get it, I'll package the small parts from all 3 actions as you described and ship them off to you. Thank you again!

    Defiance action corrosion protection

    Hi Terry, My girlfriend and I both have Defiance Deviants, and we have a third action on the way (for a .223 training version of our rifles). The two we have are driving me CRAZY with corrosion on their cocking pieces and extractors (their bolt bodies have a Melonite finish and it's worked...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 3-12x50 or 4-16x50?

    That's a very good question that most people have been overlooking with these scopes. I believe the 50mm objective scopes (the ones in the $1300-$1500 price range) are discontinued models, and it's very hard to find them now. Their replacements, I believe, are the 56mm objective scopes - and I...

    Rifle Scopes steiner elevation knob Problem? (binding)

    I purchased 10 of the 3-12x50 mm (Steiner "Military") scopes from Botach (and had no problems with Botach, btw - they arrived safely and in a reasonable time). I kept one for myself and sold the others to buddies, mostly (though I still have one extra scope left). The turret cap markings on my...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone else get the Steiner 3-12x56 FFP Mil/Mil scope on Special from Botach?

    Ah, then I stand corrected. Good on you - I believe the 56mm model is newer and costs more.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone else get the Steiner 3-12x56 FFP Mil/Mil scope on Special from Botach?

    Botach never offered the 3-12x56mm Steiner for $1100. It was the 3-12x50. I ordered ten of them and received them in a timely manner (btw, they include a sunshade and Butler Creek caps). They're new, sealed in the package (not seconds). I kept one and sold what I could to buddies for the same...

    Marlin 880 SQ in AICS

    Re: Marlin 880 SQ in AICS Just a quick update for anyone interested. I received my Well G96 airsoft rifle and the stock (a copy of the A.I.C.S. 2.0 with aluminum chasis) impressed me quite a bit. The skins were held in place not only by the normal bolts that we're used to seeing, but also by...

    Marlin 880 SQ in AICS

    Re: Marlin 880 SQ in AICS Does anybody know if a Marlin XT-series rifle can be used in palce of the 880 for this same project? It looks like the XTs are the only rimfire bolt guns Marlin currently offers. Any info would be helpful.

    Range Report Ransom Rest Inserts, Custom

    Fellas, Anybody here have any experience with a ransom rest? Ever need to make a custom insert for a pistol (one that they don't commercially offer inserts for)? I need to make inserts for a Kahr PM9 and a Kahr CW45 (Ransom doesn't make inserts for kahr guns at all). Ransom suggests buying...

    F T/R Competition Results Odessa FV250yd F-Class

    Re: Results Odessa FV250yd F-Class I'd like to know, too - I'd be in for sure. Had to miss the Springwater match (nice shooting at that, Kevin) due to what I thought was a ear/throat bug. Instead, looks like my tonsils are a mess yet again. But the doc never wants to take them out - he just...

    Movie Theater Mythbusters

    Re: Mythbusters IMHO, the show does a great job of balancing science (enough to make it legitimate) and fun (enough to make me to want to watch it week after week). Plus, they blow a variety of stuff up pretty regularly That was a great episode, and Kevin and Dave's presence (demeanor...

    where to get a new barrel in less than 6 months?

    Re: where to get a new barrel in less than 6 months? +1 for Hart. Don't think you can go wrong with them; great service, excellent barrels (have one myself), and very experienced people doing the actual rifle work.

    C Products magazines?

    Re: C Products magazines? I own a Remington 700 TLR in an AI 2.0 Chasis system. I read that the C Products units don't feature the signature "plate" that runs up the inside front of AI mags. This appeals to me as my factory barrel's throat would like bullets seated about an additional .25"...
