    Photos Latest AR Build. Mag Tactical, Bravo Company, and Magpul

    Just got the latest build done. Its all based around the Mag Tactical Lower, and pretty much everything else is either Bravo, or Magpul. I did use the PWS comp on it. It works almost too well. The gun doesn't move, but it is effing loud. Anyway, wanted to throw some shots up...

    .223 ammo @ Powder River

    Buddy of mine works with Powder River Cartridge Company. They mostly work with cowboy rounds, but he said they got a hold of some .223. Steel cased Wolf by the case, and some brass stuff by the box and partial case. Its higher than normal (I'm sure his price was too), but its there if anyone...

    PTSD....what exactly is it? Looking for info.

    In light of the horrible death of Chris Kyle, I wanted to pursue information on PTSD, its causes, and its effects. All we civilians ever really hear comes from the media, and that's far from a reliable source for anything now days. Also, my sisters ex-husband has been diagnosed with it (they...

    Would a "AW" ban prevent the sale of parts?

    I'm young enough I don't remember what it was like during the "AW" ban between 94 and 04. If they were able to push something like that through again, would it also ban the sale of parts? Would all stocks be pinned? All barrels be un- threaded? Etc. I'm going to buy some stuff for a build...

    Thanks for the Browning vote

    Several months ago I posted some pictures of a bed I built for our son based around John Browning gun designs. After mentioning that I sent it in to Browning for their "Show Us Your Buckmark" competition, several of you voted for me. I just wanted to say thank you. I got a call from Browning...

    10/22 Volquartson not chambering round

    I searched around and couldn't come up with anything, but here's what I got. I built this gun up 8 years ago or so. Its a Ruger 10/22 receiver with Volquartson trigger guts, and a Volquartson barrel. For the most part I only shot Remington Subsonics out of it. Occasionally it would get some...

    Cartridge OAL to long on Rem 5R?

    I've been searching around and found some pretty good info. I measured the chamber on my 5R last night....then measured again.....and again. It came out to right at 2.900". After doing some research on here, that seems normal for a Remmy action. I planned on doing a ladder test tomorrow, and...

    What are the chances?

    Is this even possible? And if it is....wow. A muzzleloader from 1.5 miles? Really? Crazy. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/12/20/ohi...test=latestnews

    Photos Hanks new bed

    I made this bed for our first addition to the family. The last thing we wanted was a bed that looked like we got it at Target. This bed was designed around several of my favorite John Browning firearms. The man was a genius. The front rail is two hand checkered Winchester 1886 stocks that...

    Movie Theater CNBC "Report" on the Rem 700

    Did anyone watch this whole thing? I only got a couple minutes in it before I changed the channel. Started to get pissed. They were trying to make the point that the 700 had a dangerous design flaw in the safety. Started out with a mom that accidentally shot her kid. Yeah, thats a bad...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat application technique

    I've noticed that most people are applying duracoat with an airbrush. I've got a brand new compressed air siphon sprayer at the house. Would this work, or should I get an air brush? My biggest concern is that I would run into more wasted product if I used the siphon sprayer. Any other...

    Rifle Scopes Scope covers

    Just wondering if there are any good alternatives to the Butler Creek Caps? I know Leupold makes some, and USO, but will they fit a NF 5.5-22x56? I've just heard some not so good reviews and wondering if there's a better route. thanks Aaron

    Savage 12 feeding issues

    Ok. I'm sure this has been covered a bit as it seems to be a common problem, but I've done a search and didn't come up with an answer. While feeding a round from the staggered magazine in my Savage 12 .223, more often than not it will throw the round into the back of the barrel. The COAL...

    neck issues on .308 loads

    I loaded up some .308 last night. This is only my 2nd batch of .308, but I've been loading .270, .22-250, and .223 for years. I noticed that after seating the bullet, the neck on the cases seemed to bulge slightly like the bullet was too wide for the case. It was very slight, but when I ran...

    5R load question

    I talked with someone here a couple days ago about a .308 load. They were suggesting 43 gr Varget behind a 175 SMK. I sat down to try this out, but found the Sierra manual describes 41.7 gr Varget as a max load. Not wanting to cause an issue with the gun or my face, I figured I'd see if...

    Gunsmithing Shimming the scope base on a 5R

    I just bought a 5R from a guy on gunbroker. He just send me this email: "My advice is to purchase from brownells a package of brass shims ($12), now. They'll be there when the rifle is. The top of a Remington receiver rear mount varies. You will need to shim the rear for your mount. Else when...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a 5r.

    I've been shooting/reloading for some time, but its always been with hunting or varmint rounds (.223, .22-250, .270). Yesterday I bought my first .308, and heres my planned setup thats progressed in a month. At first I was going to get a 700 SPS Varmint, switch the stock to an HS, and top it...
