Re: Removing Rust from Bore Thanks, guys, for the info!

I know, I'm an idiot... Apparently, I neglected to clean my stainless Tikka .308 last deer season (had some health issues that derailed my usual gun cleaning regimen) so now I have rust inside the barrel. Hopefully, I have not completely goobered up this rifle. I have used my usual Wipe Out...

Re: Pros & Cons: suppressed .308 vs. 5.56/.223? Thanks all, for the info! So, if I'm understanding this correctly, I should get a .338 suppressor to handle anything I might have (basically from .308 down to 5.56). The .300 Whisper sounds intriguing, too, especially if I can get an AR15 upper...

Admittedly, I'm a total noob to sound suppressors... Have a hypothetical question: say I'm in an extended SHTF situation and I would need a suppressed urban sniper rifle to keep the ...uh...zombies at bay. Targets out to about 300 meters or so. Would you pick a suppressed .308 or a suppressed...

Can't find this info on their website: Is that a .223 or a 5.56 chamber (i.e.: on the 1 in 8" twist barrel)? Also, what is the muzzle thread size? Thanks!

I posted this on the optics forum with no results, so I'm hoping someone here might have an answer. I don't know what the problem is, but I can't get this online from EOtech -- the website says "coming soon" even though the 553 has been in production for years. Can't find it on Google, although...

I don't know what the problem is, but I can't get this online from EOtech -- the website says "coming soon" even though the 553 has been in production for years. Can't find it on Google, although I did learn that the 553 manual on the EOtech website has been "coming soon" since 2008! I emailed...

I was looking at the M15 flat top carbine and noticed that the rails on the gas block are about 1/4" lower than the rails on the receiver, which I'm sure will make a big difference in mounting and sighting flip up sites -- 99.9% of which seem to be made to mount on the same plane. Is there any...

Not to open another can of worms, and since there is no shotgun forum, this seems like the place to post... this stuff is AWESOME!!!! Out of a 20" 12 ga. cylinder bore, I'm getting slug-like patterns at 21', 4" patterns @ 50' (7 shot strung thru one 3" hole), and 12" patterns at 100'. This is...
