To take my SPR and Recce apart and mash them up into a SPRecce? I was thinking about this over the weekend. Both shoot well but they're set up so similar and kinda do the same thing. The only difference is that one is 2" shorter and runs a 2.5-10 vs. a 4-16 and for me 16" is plenty of...

I spent another day at the range today working my iron sighted 10/22 and Ruger Mk II pistol. I started out with the pistol shooting a dot torture drill and then transitioned to an Appleseed pistol qualification target at 7 yards. The PQT has some mandatory reloads, which are made a little...

I got it in my head to put togther a "Liberty Training Rifle" because I wanted a semi-auto mag fed .22LR to have fun with. Since I had a complete 10/22 bolt, charging handle, trigger assembly, and some other small parts laying around it seemed like the logical path. I picked up a blem 10/22...

So today started because at my local range I don't always get one of the bays where I can get 50 yards to use my normal rimfire practice targets and I wanted something I could put up at 25 yards that I could shoot with irons or an optic. Today's trip was really just fleshing out some ideas with...

I got a wild hair yesterday and decided to install a set of sling swivels on my Marlin Model 60 so I dug in my parts boxes and found a couple wood screw versions and a couple machine screw versions. The rear swivel was no problem but the forend one made me think a little because on a Model 60...

Recently I stripped an AR upper and lower back down to the black anodized finish after I got tired of the beat up Duracoat finish I'd sprayed on years ago. I know Duracoat isn't as popular as it once was but I thought I'd talk about the product I used to strip the receivers down, Klean Strip...

Originally I posted one of these in the M24 thread based loosely on a diagram of a "maintenance block" in the back of the M24 TM but I added some features and this is the Mod 1 version . Except for the piece of brass, everything came from the hardware store, a piece of 2x4, nylon spacer...

Just finished up a couple projects making some of the tools found in the back of a couple TM's. From the M16/M4 Technical Manual I made a front sight adjustment tool, pivot pin installation tool, and pivot pin removal tool. I made mine to the roughly 4" overall length as the TM, not sure...

BDC reticles aren't for everyone, hell I only have one optic that has one but I don't think they're as useless as some people think and with a few minutes of effort they can be pretty useful with a variety of bullets. I'm making a new DIY data book and one of the pages will be a BDC reticle...

Last night I tackled an issue that had been bugging me for a while. I had a lower receiver that had a CMMG ambi-safety on it that was hitting my trigger finger when I swiped it and it no longer needed it anyway. The problem is that the screw head holding the right side lever on was stripped...

I had this Magpul bipod mount and earlier today I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I didn't want to just drop it in a bin so I made a thing out of it for my vise. Some scrap 1/4" aluminum angle, 10-32 tap, and voila.... If I want I can secure a flat top upper, barreled action...

Ooops, wrong test….. Guess who gets to stay home the rest of the week tho

I was walking around Walmart the other day and found these little Plano boxes in the fishing section. It looked to be about the right size for .22 ammo and it was just over $5 so if it didn't work then no big deal. Turns out it fits three boxes of .22 pretty well, there is some slop but I...

Kicking back with some beers and needed some laughs after dealing with gross ineptitude all day and Fat Electrician never fails to deliver. Maybe it's the beer or the straight facts he was spittin' out but I was giggling all through this video. If ya know you can relate...enjoy We had a...

About 10 years ago I made some steel rimfire targets from 1/4" thick steel stock you can get from Lowes. I'm the first to admit they were crudely cut out and they kinda did the trick but recently I wanted to improve on the concept. I got some of the same steel, did some math to make templates...

Talking to a sales rep earlier today and he mentioned his daughter is getting married, the guy is a Marine, and currently deployed somewhere in the middle east. I'm all like "Hey congratulations" and he said he's a good guy, asked for permission to marry his daughter, and they took a vow of...

This is my Dad He had a heart attack today and whilst having said heart attack drove himself to the hospital and walked in the ER. Of course, they took him straight back and the word is he actually asked the doctor "Is this a real heart attack?". One emergency surgery procedure later and...

I think these are relatively new from Arisaka Defense, some info popped up on a defense industry news page I like to check out and I thought some guys here might be interested. I'm getting started on a review of this set up that's designed for the Magpul SL and SL-S stocks. I have both stocks...

Another vid got posted a little bit ago, I'm starting to really like his stuff.
