    Gunsmithing Help with some info...

    Hello all- I bought a Remington 700 rifle almost a year ago, and it has been my project gun now since. The rifle was originally krylon painted, and had a heavy barrel (measured 1.225"). I'm about to get the weapon cera-coated; and while stripping the krylon off I found "Wells Rifle Shop" and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 question

    Here are the pics, sorry they were taken with my phone; but you get the idea...SA custom did the checkering (which feels AWESOME) and blending job and the S&A magwell...add in several Wilson parts and ETM+P's and she's ready to go! I go 10-8 with this weapon every day, and use it as my...

    Questions regarding joining military.

    Cobracutter...I actually share your viewpoint that the warrior mindset is something that is BORN in, and cannot be trained...I don't feel bad, because I've done it (and still can, I actually served a high-risk warrant yesterday; and am a 19A now)...My point is that the OP may want to see if...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 question

    Well...the decision was made quite awhile ago; I went with a SA MC operator-I knew it was the weapon I was hunting the moment I picked it up...as soon as I broke it in I sent it back to the SA custom shop for a few refinements...let me tell y'all-if you ever have a chance to deal with Mr. Dave...

    Questions regarding joining military.

    OP- I had the SAME exact mindset when I went into the Army (I started out enlisted as an 11B)...After having been shot at, and almost blown up (I have a new appreciation for artillery now); It changed my perspective on a few things. I applaud your enthusiasm to serve, a trait which I believe is...

    Rifle Scopes What are my options here?

    No-it was a snide remark, but I do appreciate the input now that you actually have some very good points. This optic will be used on my personal weapon, and I'm still in the process of learning all the ballistic computer stuff so as of right now I can't say. My department is ok with us using...

    Build Question

    After doing some research, I think I'm just going to run the HS stock and save the cost of in-letting it towards a better stock (McMillan, Manners, etc...) Also-I think this will be the muzzle device I'm going with: SureFire SF3P-762-5/8-24 Flash Hider / Suppressor Adapter Mostly due to it's...

    Gunsmithing Please ID this stock...

    After doing some research, I think I'm just going to run this stock for awhile and save up for a good one (McMillan, Manners, etc...) and just have it in-letted from the factory when I order it. I see no need to have work done on this stock, when it's really not what I want to run...

    Thanks for the input--I don't think this one has the X-mark unit in it, being that it is an older weapon. Thanks for the advice--I've been doing lots of dry firing drills with it, like my primary weapon...
