    Shot a S&W M&P AR-15, not impressed...

    Re: Shot a S&W M&P AR-15, not impressed... I've got an M&P15T which hasn't had any issues. If you can get used to a Glock with a New York trigger, then the factory S&W one isn't too bad. As stated earlier, you don't want a single stage feather weight on a duty rifle, and as for accuracy in...

    Drying brass in the oven...Yay or Nay?

    Re: Drying brass in the oven...Yay or Nay? One thing I've noticed about conventional ovens is that the heating element will run at maximum (burners or coils) up until the metal interior reaches the selected temperature. This means that even if set at 150°F, the heating element will be at full...

    Gunsmithing Picatinny Rail epoxy to action

    Re: Picatinny Rail epoxy to action The thing is that you're not just trying to glue them together, but rather fill in the gaps between the two mounting surfaces so that when you torque down the base, it maintains it's alignment and doesn't create uneven stress on the receiver. The Locktite...

    Gunsmithing Picatinny Rail epoxy to action

    Re: Picatinny Rail steel bed I bedded both sides of the rail with JB Weld, and lightly tightened the two inside screws lightly as per Ken Farrel's instructions (link) until it was cured. Pretty easy & it can't hurt.

    What tumbler to buy?

    Re: What tumbler to buy? If you have a Harbor Freight & Tool nearby, they carry vibratory tumblers in two sizes, and walnut media. I've had mine for two years now with no problems, granted I don't run it for 10 hours at the time either. The small tumbler will clean 100+ .223 cases in 2-3...

    Gunsmithing Gun Grease or Lube

    Re: Gun Grease or Lube Grease on everything, oil only those places where grease application is not practical. As mentioned above, Shooter's Choice High-Tech Grease is great, so is Mil-Comm TW25B and MC2500. I still have a syringe of SC, but once it's gone, it'll be strictly whale sperm.

    Bell and Carlson Vertical grip tactical stock No, it's an SPS Varmint (same difference) with a Monarch ... but yes, it was a simple drop-in, and everything snugged up nice & tight. The only issue I discovered is that the bolt handle contacts the stock when it's closed, thus I'll have to do a...

    Re: Bell and Carlson Vertical grip tactical stock Listen to these guys, they know what they're talking about, and I'll agree. My B&C Medalist A2 for an SPS-V arrived yesterday. The fit/finish on it is great and I feel it was money well spent. If you decide to order, buy it through Stocky's...
