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...

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...

This would be for an AR15 type carbine, 16" barrel, mid length gas system, 1:9" twist. Wall penetration with .223 should not be much of an issue inside this old, solid built house and all bedrooms are on one end anyway. Just want to find the best round(s) to put an attacking bad guy down ASAP...

Don't want to start a firestorm here (Fackler vs. Marshall vs. Hatcher vs. Jello Junkies vs. Morgue Monkeys, etc.) but I came across these anecdotal observations from a Ph.D working in the Atlanta morgue on relative effectiveness of handgun loads on human bodies he sees dragged onto the slab...

Just purchased a new Tikka T3 Lite today in .300 Win Mag. Come to examine the rifle closer as I'm mounting the scope and discover some weird white and brown powdery residue in and around the chamber and around where the barrel mates with the receiver -- looks almost exactly like corrosion on car...

I just bought a new Tikka T3 stainless in .308. Prior to taking it to the range, I'm cleaning the barrel. I'm using Wipe Out brushless foam cleaner with the Accelerator. This first patch came out with moderate powder and copper fouling, which I attribute to test firing at the factory...

This is on a Springfield Armory SAR 4800, Brazilian-made (Imbel?) rifle that I got several years ago and a few years later put a DSA trigger, sear, charging handle kit, etc. on it to get rid of the thumbhole stock and legally transform it into a proper-looking FAL. Over the years it's been...

We're having an influx of coyotes and coy-dogs in the neighborhood...what's the best bait and/or call to bring them within range. Would prefer bait and or a remote electronic call to bring them to a specific area of the yard with a hillside as a backstop so they can be dispatched with a .22 LR...

Just wonder what opions are on these rifles. I have a Savage .22LR bolt gun without a scope -- pretty good shooter although the little banana mag seems to misfeed on the last round frequently. I like the Accu-trigger. I'm most interested in the 93 Classic that retails for @ $500 - $600. With a...
