    Got my Colt Wiley Clapp from Alchemy, and I'm blown away at how nice it is! Rob did a fantastic job; I can't say enough good things about him and his shop. Now, I just have to figure out which grips to run with! Here is what I had done: Flush cut and chamfer slide stop pin and hole Flush cut...

    Poll-Help me change the NFA

    Moderator: If you feel there is a more appropriate section, please feel free to move this there. This poll is to conduct research on changing the NFA rules. While I would support a complete removal of the law, I don't believe that it will happen anytime soon. So what I'm trying to do is...

    Getting a "grip" on things

    I'm sure that I'm not the first person to do this, but I thought I'd share. I decided to paint the grips on my carbine with Rustoleum textured paint. Came out great, and I don't have to bother cutting skater tape. It does come in other colors, but I settled on the black. It really improves the...

    Loading for .223-Crap groups w/RL-15?

    Trying to work up a good and fast, yet very accurate, load for my Mk12 AR. I started with Ramshot TAC because I had about 7 lbs on hand. I'm still working on it, but I have had pretty good results so far. Heard from those who've reloaded .223 with experience, and many said try Reloader 15. So...

    Things important for semi-auto match loads?

    Been working on my 77grn SMK match load for my Mk12, and so far my results haven't been as spectacular as I'd want. Perhaps I'm hoping for too much, but maybe there are some things that I could do better. Right now, a 10 shot group is measuring roughly 1". I could point out some touching 3 shot...

    Anyone mount sling swivel on A2 stock?

    Saw a picture the other day of a KAC rifle with an A2 stock, but it had a QD sling swivel mounted into the left side of it, near the front. Just wondering if someone knows if that stock can be purchased from somewhere, or if it is a mod that can be done to my A2.

    Mk12 Mod1 Range Report

    Overall, not a bad day at the range. The wind was a bit cool. Temp. averaged at about 56 degrees or so, wind mostly at 7 o'clock, from 5 to 15mph. Very sunny, with some light clouds popping in every now and then. The thing that made load testing the worst was that as I was leaving the house, I...

    Mk12 Mod 1 Almost Complete

    Well, the Mk 12 Mod 1 is shooter ready, with it's own lower now. Working on developing a Mk262'ish 77grn OTM load for it. Now all that's left is the suppressor, and BUIS. With it's cousin, and the Zombie Response Vehicle.

    Dang Dillon Didn't Have Large Powder Charge Bar

    Guess I can't complain too much, I got a used 550 from a buddy for a good price. But, I need the large powder charge bar, #20063, to load my dang .223!

    Mk 12 Mod 1 Upper Is Here!

    Fedex came by this morning, and I finally have my upper. Boy it looks great. Thanks again to Kevin at High Caliber Sales. It's gonna have to ride on my BCM carbine lower until I get a new one for it. Next step is bipod and adapter, lower, sights, and finally the suppressor. And the three...

    Mk12 Mod 1 Coming Together

    After several months of planning, my Mk12 Mod 1 is starting to come together. Thanks to Kevin at High Caliber Sales. I know there are many happy customers of his here, and after much debate, I decided to buy one of his top notch receivers. I'll have it in my hand next week. And thanks to...

    Big Company, or Small Company, for Mk12 Upper?

    Okay, my Mk12 build begins in January, and I'm torn on choosing my upper. I couldn't be happier with my BCM carbine, and am leaning towards them for the upper. However, there are a few small time shops with great reputations that re-create the Mk 12 as well. Hell, some of you might be able to...

    Look What Followed Me Home

    Okay, it isn't a precision sniper rifle. But, she is a beauty! Inland with a Rock Ola barrel. Receiver made between Sept. '43, and Jan. '44. The pictures just don't do it justice.

    Photos Latest Paint Job

    Customer brought me a DPMS Panther in .308. It had previously been done in what I was told was a Brownells product. I'd never seen such a poorly done job before. This is the result of my work. This rifle was done in Krylon, as the owner was planning to sell it anyway. [Before:

    WTF Happened To My Brass??

    I got a bunch of brass for free today. A little over 200 30-06 and .308 once fired. I, let's face it, foolishly dumped all of it into my RCBS vibratory cleaner, and a bunch of <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">old</span></span> corn cob media, because it was all...

    Great Score Today

    Stopped by a local range today. He let me go ahead and sort through the brass, which yielded 90 pieces of once fired .308, some mil., and 120 pieces of 30-06, most of it mil stamped as well. But the best score of the trip was when he sold me 4 M14 mags for a total of $30. Checked 'em out...
