    H4895 with .223 77 gr SMK

    I looked at the Sierra AR specific data and it looks like I can get there. Guess I'm going ot just have to try it. I was trying to avoid a HAZMAT fee for 1 can of powder to work a load up and see if it'd shoot (then ultimately buy more after the workup was done) and was hoping somebody would...

    H4895 with .223 77 gr SMK

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but the information is pertinent to my current dilemma. Due to this shortage I have found myself with 8lbs of H4895, a 5.56 chambered 1:7 twist 14.5" pinned and welded comp with a midlength gas system and rifle length buffer. Did Luky ever try this load and what...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry knife preferences

    I'm in Texas so we can carry a fixed blade as long as it's not concealed, so with that said I carry a RAT 5 and when I'm going somewhere I don't want to draw that kind of attention either a RAT 1 or a waved endura.

    Red Jacket AR mags

    Guts appear to be standard USGI type, green anti tilt follower, nonwoven spring, flat sheetmetal floorplate. Range report will be a ways off, got to finish building the rifle first. Damn you McGowen Barrels and your backlog! Waiting on a .625" diameter 14.75" pencil barrel with a mid length gas...

    Red Jacket AR mags

    I was at Academy the other day looking for 9mm ammo, and I came across these 30rd aluminum mags branded with the Red Jacket logo for $10. I haven't seen a $10 AR mag around here since before Sandy Hook. I bought one, haven't got a chance to shoot it yet (and it'll be awhile as I cashed in on all...

    FN Hogue stocks

    Re: FN Hogue stocks It'd have to be the Cerakote air dry, the rubber on the stock would melt if you tried to bake it to cure regular cerakote. I'd stick with Krylon if it were mine.

    Gunsmithing What is the longest time a gunsmith took?

    Re: What is the longest time a gunsmith took? 4 years for a custom small ring mauser in 257 Roberts Improved. But, had to wait 3 months on a barrel, then 10 weeks for a semi inletted wood stock, then 3 more months on a bolt shroud and 3 more on a side safety, did I mention the smith was a...

    Re: matting stainless steel Yeah, think I'll try some 600 grit, and if that doesn't work, there's always cerakote air dry.

    Gunsmithing matting stainless steel

    So, I picked up a Ruger SP101 for concealed carry and as a back woods kit gun. Problems, it's too shiny, and around here in Amarillo where I now live no one does bead blasting. Is there another way to matte it? I really don't want to send it off as Ialready did an action job myself, and i...

    Your 2 cents, best ultra long range cartridge ?

    Re: Your 2 cents, best ultra long range cartridge ? Costly as it is I beleive COBB makes something in 300 Win Mag that would be as close as your gonna get to what you want. But there is nothing out there that will do everything you want to do.

    Old Turkish Mauser Action

    Re: Old Turkish Mauser Action 257 Roberts, 6.5x55, 7mm Mauser, lots of good sporting calibers, no good comp ones other than 6.5x55, no Ackleys though. also, that action beds horribly due to the old military bottom metal setup and I know of none that work with it. Be a nice light recoiling...

    Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V: Range Report

    Re: Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V I've started a build or 2 off of guns I've got at Wal-Mart (as much as I hate them) and am thinking about maybe a Savage build off one of the 111 243 guns since I don't beleive Savage makes a 6.5 Creedmore, but I could be wrong there.

    S&W 22A TALO Limited Edition

    Re: S&W 22A TALO Limited Edition That's what I thought. I have one with a 5.5" bull barrel and the target grips and I can't complain, it shhoots on par with my Mark 3 Hunter model and feeds everything.

    Remington action compared to custom action

    Re: Reminton action compared to custom action Been my experience you end up about $250 ahead with a remington that's been trued over something like a Stiller, but you lose every bit of that and the nsome in slickness, accuracy, and resale value. I've gone as far as not buying 700s to strip...
