    Is there any real difference in electronic ear protection anymore?

    I have the sordins as well with the gel ear cups. They do feel pretty good and I can hear well but still get headaches from my glasses pressing by my ears. If someone has a loud brake I also will wear a foam plug. I've debated on adding some car soundproofing to the inside just to see what...

    MSA Supreme Pro Earmuff Modifications?

    I have a set of the MSA Supreme pro earmuffs and realize the NRR is low but I had a little brainstorm. From my car audio days mass loading thin panels seemed to help the sound quality. What do yall think about adding a thin layer of sound deadening material to the insides of the earmuffs? I...

    Picatinny Anti Cant Mount

    I have the USO level and have been pretty happy with it. I read some of the reviews on it too lately and it does make me wonder about the levelness. I wonder if the people who had issues had a level scope rail for it to mount to or if that was slightly canted. Flipping it in is really nice...

    Gunsmithing Starter lathe or mill on Amazon?

    Re: Starter lathe or mill on Amazon? For a mill I also have a Grizzly G0619 and it seems to work pretty well. Once you consider a vice the drill chuck takes up a fair amount of room but I use collets many times and you gain a few inches with those. With that said I wouldn't go any smaller...

    priming help

    Re: priming help The brass was just some new winchester .223 I had so it didnt need to have the crimps removed. I normally use CCI or federal primers but could try winchester if this continues to be an issue. I will try some of my other brands of brass and see what the feeling is with those.

    priming help

    Re: priming help I have a hand primer but im just not getting the feel with it. Im wondering if this brass has tight primer pockets. Im having to use allot of force to get the primers in and when I use the uniformer there is a fair amount of material removed to flatten the base of the primer...

    Ogive and an AR

    Re: Ogive and an AR I have one of the Hornady tools and I have had pretty consistant results from it. In my case I found the below info with my WOA Varmint barrel in .223. Some 75Gr. Hornady TAP I measured the OAL of came to right about 2.250" to the bullet tip and it was getting pretty...

    Factory Stock Modifications

    Who should I let build my upper?

    Re: Who should I let build my upper? An AR is simple to put together so i would do it myself if i were you. You could buy the tools including go and nogo headspace gauges and be a little more the 100 they would charge you. That way your good to go on any future work as well. Headspace is...

    hydraulic buffers

    Re: hydraulic buffers I have a Enidine buffer and took it out because of the bolt not locking back sometimes and in my case an H2 buffer with standard collapsible stock spring was smoother feeling. With that said i think that if i were using hotter ammo or had a gas port that was a little...

    Gunsmithing muzzle threading

    Re: muzzle threading I think the indicator that I had pictured was correct but the bouncing from land to groove is what i was concerned about. When ive indicated parts before i was spinning the headstock by hand so i assume thats the same case here. The indicator moving that much especially...

    Muzzle Brake Options

    Re: Muzzle Brake Options The RWS Brake is pretty impressive. I've found his thread and have been reading through it. Ill send him a e-mail and see what kinds of changes he has made and can make to his program. I hate to pester him too much with details since he is trying to help us and keep...

    Muzzle Brake Options

    Im thinking about adding a muzzle brake to my .308 rem 700 and had a specific "feature" i was looking for. What i want is a brake that has the barrel face exposed. I see the RAD Rapid Brake looks like it does what i want and gets good reviews. I need to check with Hateca to see if they are...

    Gunsmithing question about making a muzzel brake

    Re: question about making a muzzel brake I would think any angle like this \\ as viewed from the side would have a comp effect. I could be completely wrong but it seems like it would have to have that effect. Also as viewed from the top this >>) shape should catch more blast thus pull...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Suppressors

    Re: Muzzle Brake Suppressors Wasnt there a company that made a muzzle brake with a shroud that helped lower the noise and flash. It didnt lower it below a bare barrel but i thought it helped. Nor-Cal Precision made it after looking back at a paper i printed on it a long time ago. Here is a...
