    Mig/Flux welder for DIY projects?

    Ouch, I would freak out :(

    Sidearms & Scatterguns glock or smith?

    I have a Glock 26 and an S&W M&P .40. Both are great guns but the Glock is better. The M&P's grip is comfy, it looks sexy, the machining is great, and I shoot pretty well with it, but the internals are more complicated than the Glock. Magazines are also less common, which to me a is fairly...

    Hydrographic Disaster PICS

    Best I can tell from some Googling is that it's "shawnaughty designz" WARFARE pattern, a multicam knockoff. I'm having trouble finding pictures now, which tells me they probably had to ditch it for copyright reasons. Caveat Emptor.

    Rifle Scopes Redfield USMC

    I don't really understand the complaint with the reticle personally. It's obviously not the real thing, so why not have a more functional reticle than the original?

    TRG magazines

    Thanks! That's weird, when I was looking a month ago NOBODY had them, including Midway. I kept looking every few days for about 3 weeks and finally gave up. -matt

    Gunsmithing Reamer Malfuction

    This. I'm not sure what material that is, but with carbide and other similarly brittle tooling, cutting slow will make them 'grab' the material, which will make them break faster than anything else. -matt

    TRG magazines

    I actually looked into that and found that a lot of guys are just running AICS 10 round magazines in their stock magwell. Supposedly they function fine, but have a loose fit. From my measurements ont he TRG mag versus what others have posted for AICS dimensions, it seems that the AICS mag is...

    Remington XCR 300wm - this can't be good.

    I've seen a number of HS stocks needing similar work over the years, B&C's are generally pretty good. -matt

    Tikka T3 vs Remington 700 actions

    The tikka action is plenty strong, and their bolt handle attachment method is much stronger than Remington's. Overall, the T3 action is a very robust design and runs circles around the 700 in terms of engineering and build quality. They also use excellent barrels, every Tikka I've owned has been...

    shootig with bullets close to the lands

    With Bergers you will need them close to the lands or jammed into them in order to find good accuracy. I've never heard of it hurting barrel life before, I don't know how it could. -matt

    Bolt Knob Suggestion and Pic Request

    Any knob that interferes with your trigger finger is incorrectly installed. If you simply turn threads onto the material from your existing knob, it will be too short every time. You need to install in a way similar to El Gordo's above, extending it from the bolt body in order to improve stock...

    This is why I would NOT buy ammo online from the auctions.

    I was told the same thing last time, and the prices came right back down to where they used to be. There is no conspiracy, only a free market. It will only happen in 2016 if there is more talk of gun and ammo control, this is pretty simple stuff to understand. -matt

    Gunsmithing Bolt vs. reciever tolerance

    These are valid, but they don't necessarily prove anything. When bushing a bolt improves the accuracy of a certain rifle, it does not automatically mean that a loose bolt will result in inaccuracy, it merely means that a tight bolt improved those rifles. The same outcome could have been achieved...

    Gunsmithing Acraglas Gel Harden Time

    Use Devcon next time. Even though Acraglass is sold as bedding material, it's nowhere near as good as Devcon for bedding. It's basically a lightweight composite material, versus Devcon which is an engineered metal-filled epoxy which will be more stable and durable over time. -matt

    260 build on long action

    Tikka T3 actions are all the same length, I believe they just use a different bolt catch to alter how far the bolt cycles to the rear for different length chamberings. They're a really nice factory action, and you can usually pick up long action 'hunting' caliber ones for cheap to use as a...

    This is why I would NOT buy ammo online from the auctions.

    Supply & Demand, it's a simple matter of mathematics. When Washington starts rumbling about gun control, ammo control, etc, everyone and their brother wakes up and realizes that "Oh hey, I should probably buy some more ammunition", they go to the store and buy what they can afford. For .22 ammo...

    Prices for used TRG-22 rifles?

    That's a very valid point about the trigger, I really don't know why people feel the need to mess with them with how good they are out of the box. With a dab of anti-seize on the sear, mine breaks perfectly clean at 2 lbs 1 oz every time, I really don't know how you could improve it, but I've...
