    Best rain gear shell?

    Re: Best rain gear shell? I like the Arc'teryx LEAF jackets, but they are a bit pricey. The North Face Mountain Light (mine was made in Berkeley) or the TAD Anoraks are pretty durable and compact into a small space. Most of your high end laminate shells will cost a few hundred dollars. I...

    Norma brass vs. Winchester brass for .300 WSM

    Re: Norma brass vs. Winchester brass for .300 WSM Red, I've used both of the aforementioned brands and found that they both last about the same amount of firings (approximately 6-7). Also both brands required the same amount of prep. I full length size and bump the shoulder back .001 to...

    Suppressors Best carry .45

    Re: Best carry .45 Todd, Great post. I too feel that when you spend this kind of money for a quality gun it should function straight out of the box. I've had high end production 1911's with a slide to frame fit so tight that it wouldn't even return to battery upon firing. "break in" period...

    Gunsmithing Anyone texture AICS panels?

    Re: Anyone texture AICS panels? BW, I've used MarineTex quite a bit around my sailboat and I do not think that it would adhere to the AICS skins due to it's flexible, oily composition. The epoxy needs a substrate at least as rigid as itself when cured. I think that if AI could mold the...

    Gunsmithing Any smiths in SoKal area that can recrown a 1911?

    Re: Any smiths in SoKal area that can recrown a 1911? I imagine a good machinist can accomplish what you want without too much effort. I had a 1911 done by Dane Burns in Washington with a crown like that. It shot as well as my good 1911's and looked cooler doing it. Respectfully, Bill

    Rifle Scopes NF F1 M118 Cam... specs?

    Re: NF F1 M118 Cam... specs? You should consider the potential that your custom cam will not be accurate dependent on changing environmental conditions (temperature, altitude, etc.). If you must have a calibrated knob, or two. I have used these in the past because they looked OEM on the NF...

    how often do you shoot the guns you have?

    Re: how often do you shoot the guns you have? Several years ago when I was laid off from a large company after 13 years, I shot almost everyday for a year on the fat severance they gave me. It was a lot of fun and I learned much attending schools and obtaining instruction. Shooting is a...

    Suppressors Question about 1911 CCWs

    Re: Question about 1911 CCWs In the past I have carried a full size steel frame for a couple of years, five days a week. I feel that the belt and holster must work together as a system. Mine was made by Lou Alessi (CQC, I think.) It's an OWB setup but I was required to wear a jacket anyway...

    Gunsmithing Receiver Truing process

    Re: Receiver Truing process This would explain an experience of mine in which a factory PSS, with a barrel that clearly deviated from the action's centerline, would shoot 1/2 moa all day long. Aesthetically this bothered me, so I had this rifle blueprinted and rebarreled. The machinist told...

    Re: cleaning fingerprints off glass I was admonished not to use water if I could help it. Water will potentially degrade the lens coatings. Here's a link with some good instructions: http://www.usoptics.com/index.php?page=instructions
