Crazy to see this quote above. I haven't been in the site in years and just picked up a 700 Tactical for a deal, so was back on looking for parts. My son is 21 now! Crazy that I posted this 14 years ago!

If you're target shooting, then something along the 3-9 or 2.5-10 or some such variable is going to allow you to reach to the useful range of the rifle. I say targets, because the higher power is great for making small groups on targets. If you plan to hunt things, then a 1-6 is fine (since HK...

David Tubb posted here a long time ago about the first and last round feed from a semi and the impact shift at long range. My recollection is that it's related to the different feeding characteristics for each round (first being manual bolt release, and last being the bolt not closing or feeding...

I'd say you're talking custom, but delta P made a guy here a Brevis can for his 375H&H. I've been contemplating (for 2 years now) a suppressor for a 9.3x62. If it were me, I'd see if Delta P or someone else would make a .308 can for you with a .360 or so bullet path. 375 has a bit more gas...

Re: 45 years ago, what were you doing. I was somewhere in VN, watching the days get shorter. Well, I wasn't but my dad was. thanks pop for saving me til you got home to mom.

Re: Do the Sheep See The Sheepdog?...or the Wolf? At first I thought it was a scene from Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

Re: Red Jacket Well, he's an aspiring singer/songwriter (something about a dying cat getting strangled) and got an audition with Ted Nugent. His musical talent is competetion for today's tunes, so he does have a chance. Ted, on the other hand had no comment about his singing or guitar string...

Re: Daewoo rifles I had one like the AR110C above. Same rifle, but mine was marked K1A1. I only had it a few weeks and traded it on a CAR15 that I kept for about 15 years. I think the K1A1 cost me $400. I liked the MP5 size. I badly wanted to chop it down to 11.5" barrel as I'd seen one in a...

Re: Homemade jerky Allegro Hot and Spicy marinade is very similar to the recipe you posted. I soak the meat for about an hour, put the oven on 200 (keep it under boiling point or it'll boil the oils and make the jerky greasy). I dry it for a couple hours then drain off the liquid that has...

Re: Quality boonie hat Here's a borrowed pic. This is a short brim in Nutria brown (SADF)

Re: Quality boonie hat AnotherPlus1 on the Slangvel boonies. (graywolf above). If you're looking at the DropZone, skip it and get on fro Dave. He's a Vietnam vet. he makes them himself. They could not be made better. you can get it with either a short brim, regular or larger brim, he adds an...

Re: The Wild Whites of West Virginia Yep, sounds like some folks I know, some of who are relatives. My dad is from backwoods Penn., my mom is from Alabama, and my wifes parents from from southern Appalachia region. My F-I-L made moonshine, poached, and other sorts of miscreantisms, but he's a...

Re: Naked into the Wilderness 1: Priorities I didn't read all the posts after the first one yet, but something I wanted to throw out there is, if you're in decent physical shape, I think it's a good idea to occasionally fast. Reason I think it's important is to know what to expect when you...

Re: recommend a can for 223 and 260 I've got an M4-1000 on my SPR. It in no way degrades accuracy. My first shooting adventure yielded 10 shots at 100 yards that could be covered by a dime. It consistently shoots sub MOA out to 500 yards. I almost never shoot without the can, and the can has...

Re: Brigade QM closed? IIRC, Brigade was operated by Mitch Werbells son (sons). If you're young enough to not know who Werbell was, he's worth a look in to. Sorry to see yet another good company fall to the internet conspiracy o.k., so maybe there's no conspriacy, but I hate to see them...

Re: cnc bolt handle threading And I'm just tickled to see G code posted and know what it means, and to understand the topic at all. a year ago I knew none of this.

Re: HK 91 Ejection problem Could be an ammo problem. Is he shooting CAVIM .308 by chance? If so, it uses a tar type sealant that gets in to the chamber fluted and causes issues. If firing several rounds, and a round is left in the chamber long enough for the barrel to cool, the tar sets up...

Re: Noveske barrel markings I've got an older Noveske SPR barrel. It has a rifle length gas port position. It is marked very faintly in front of the front sight. When I Gunkoted it, the GunKote totally covered/filled in the markings. The markings were faint enough that if I blasted the...

Re: cnc bolt handle threading Very nice jig and work. One question I have is why you wouldn't put the bolt in upside down, or face the set screw that snugs up the bolt handle to avoid dimpling the bolt handle? Maybe piece of shim stock for the set screw to snug up against. If it were on the...

Re: I'm looking for a pistol to suppress. I'll third the .22 can. I've got three cans right now, a 9mm, a .223 and a .22 can. The 9mm can is new, so maybe 100 rounds through it. The .223 can has around 1,000, but the .22 can has at least 5,000. The best part is it's easy enough to set up a...
