Any thoughts on current production Voodoo barrels? With a background geared more towards precision shooting and just getting my feet wet in AR stuff again I cringe at the thought of a chrome lined barrel giving great accuracy. When I see the higher end name brand barrels with chrome lining...

Anybody running one? I like the collapsible feature with some reviews touting is as feeling as solid as a fixed stock. I tried a search for the hide and cannot find anything. If it helps the build will be a 16" medium tube as a general purpose rifle. Also does anyone know fellow members or...

Guys I am going to be laid up in bed for a while in a few weeks for some recover, any good pistol books out there? I am well stocked with books on sniping and rifle work in general but the only book on pistol shooting I have is Surgical Speed shooting by Andy Stanford. I have a couple of DVDs...

What is a fair price to sell used mags for? I dont want to gouge anyone but I have some used GI and new thermold mags laying around and no AR to feed them into. They are reliable mags and if I was still running an AR I would want mags I could dump in the dirt and keep nice mags for work or...

Guys Im looking to build another AR and have been out of the loop a while. When it comes to getting a stripped lower how much of a difference is there between manufactures? I am not worried about cosmetics but more concerned about precision of the machining, correct hole size and placement etc...

Ok, maybe its more of a checking in to see if my irritation is warranted. My Xt-22 is shooting extremely well, turning in great accuracy and meeting my needs for a basic .22 bolt gun. Yesterday I started to have really rough bolt manipulation when striping a round out of the magazine along with...

Started out as a basic blued, synthetic stock XT-22 and then the fun started. Everything looked pretty good from the factory, clean lines, barrel centered in the channel and a 3.5lb trigger pull. Accuracy at 50yards hung a little over or under 1" with a variety of high speed and subsonic ammo...

Ok I have a baseline for accuracy (average of .65 for wolf, Fed 510 and Winchester subsonics) and tore the rifle apart to start looking at what I can tweak. The first thing that leaps out at me is the floating barrel lug. I understand the sliding arrangment will allow the barrel to center itself...

Ok guys I picked up a Marlin Xt-22, standard weight barrel with the synthetic stock. First overall impression is that the balance and OEM stock has a more "adult feel" than the Savages which I pretty much attribute to the crappy stock most of the Savages start with. I picked this up as a...

I have been drooling over multiple heavy barrel .22 for a while, most notibly a couple of the Savage models and the xt-22VR from Marlin. Both have been dang near impossible to get in Hawaii so I am getting to the point of going with a standard sporter weight barrel. I understand a heavier rifle...

Hey guys have a friend wanting to add a front sight onto a trapdoor springfield. Serial number search shows it was made about 1875 but it is in bad shape, lots of rust etc. The gun is being stripped for a reblue job in the future and he wants a new sight added. He is not super concerned about...

Are there any past threads on here or links anyplace else for bedding the Mark II and marlins? I have plenty of bedding experience on centerfires but I keep hearing the rimfires are more sensitive to minor variations. I generally use William Roscoes method for bedding that is stickied on the...

Hey guys from an accuracy standpoint is anything lost by using a tubular magazine? A buddy wants to grab one of the new marlin xt-22 but wants the tubular magazine. Im arguing that anything hanging off of the barrel will not do anything to enhance accuracy but he is hung up on having 17rounds in...

Hey guys, have not used SBA since about 2003 and trying to play catch up on the most recent stuff, used second chance products from about 1990 on but clearly there have been lots of advances. Im trying to wade through advertising to get subjective info from users. Previously I used a II+...

An 85-year-old man was requested by his Doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow." The next day the 85-year-old man came to the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as...

Does anyone know of places that rent tools other than reamers? Basicly a friend picked up an old .22 for a project and the last couple inches are worn out, looks like it was hammered by cleaning from the muzzle with a file. Yes in a perfect world I would take it to a smith and have the barrel...

A couple of weeks ago various abrasive blasting stuff was being discussed and I just wanted to share what I did with a $20 sprayer from Harbor Freight and $5 of play sand. Apartment life meant the blasting cabinet went down the road so the use of play sand allows me to take care of it in my Dads...

Guys Im stuck in an apartment for a while to finish school (divorce is so fucking fun) and need some thoughts on security. Im in a "nice" town where a residential burglary is rare. The complex has had a few cars broken into but the manager has been there for 9 years and does not recall anyone...
