    Oops...

    I have a bad habbit of throwing out Hail Mary bids at auction sites, including RIA. Usually this is fine as my bids are way below the estimated selling price and I'm often outbid almost immediately. Sometimes it will take a few days before I'm outbid and it may rarely take until the auction...

    FN49 question

    Are the FN49s ammo sensitive in the same way a Garand is?

    Who is liable for insurance when shipping?

    I keep seeing disclaimers on gunbroker auctions stating that insurance is not included and/or costs extra. Not just from private individuals but also businesses. One in particular was concerning to see because it looked like they wouldn't accept credit card payments if you wanted to fully...

    SOLD SPF---Triggers for sale (1903 and M700). Prices adjusted 9/17 ---SPF

    I have a couple of takeoff triggers for sale. Payment by USPS money order is preferred but I have taken checks from members with enough history (may require a waiting period for a personal check). First is a Timney 1903 Springfield trigger. I took it out of a project gun I just picked up. Don't...

    20 gauge for 3gun

    I had a random thought. I know at least some competitors in the action shooting sports use things like Saiga and Vepr 12 gauges. I'm curious if any use 20 gauge Saigas. It seems like it would allow for slightly higher capacity in a box magazine.

    XRS Gen 1 vs Mk6 3-18x M5B2

    Don't ask why I'm only comparing these two but which one is better? Which has better glass? Which is more durable? Which is more repeatable? I would be after a Horus reticle on either.

    Gunsmithing Bedding and inlet questions

    I recently saw a rifle for sale that had an early McMillan HTG smear camo stock, which would be fantastic for my M40A1 project. Unfortunately, the rifle was a Remington 660 and the action was permanently bonded to the stock. I assume that it's probably not possible/practical to safely seperate...

    Welp, that's irritating (update: I'm a moron)

    I won an auction for an LWRC DI 5.56 upper that I didn't expect to win and didn't really want to. (Got a decent deal though.) I was hoping to throw it on to a Stag lower I had lying around, toss on the VCOG, and sell it to a coworker. Well, it arrived today and that plan fell through. Works fine...

    Gunsmithing Revolver question

    Can you swap the internals and cylinders in a pair of Smith & Wesson revolvers to get around hand fitting the parts? As an example, I would like a 327TRR8 in 10mm. Could I buy a 610 and a 327 and swap cylinders/internals so that the only necessary gunsmith work is fitting the new barrels? Or...

    What is Reno Nevada like? (Update: Looking for a rental)

    I'm looking into finally moving out west. The company I work for (warehouse stuff) has a facility in Reno. It's farther north than I really want and I have little faith that my company would actually let me move to that location, but I figure I should at least look into it. Is Reno a decent area...

    Out of spec carrier?

    Helped someone I know rebuild an upper recently. Took a Spike's 16" 5.56 upper apart to rebarrel it with a Shilen 6.5G barrel. The 5.56 had never been fired by the owner but appeared to have been test fired and cycled fine. After installing the Shilen barrel, it became difficult to cycle and...

    Is lifelock worth it?

    If not, are there alternatives? Not happy with lifelock being a part of norton.

    Badger M2013 question

    Could you take a stock inletted for a LA M700 and mill it out for a LA M2013, or do you need to start fresh?

    WTB Uninletted McMillan McHale LA stock

    Since they can't be ordered new anymore, I thought I'd try on here to get an uninletted McMillan McHale stock if anyone has one they'd part with for a reasonable price. Figured it's best to try now rather than wait a few years.

    McMillan discontinue a bunch of their products?

    I was looking on McMillan's website and it looks like some stuff got discontinued. Wanted a McHale for a future product but that was going to be years off. Oh well.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Super X2 barrel bulged

    I bought a used Super X2 barrel from Numrich. It appears bulged at the choke tube. Does anyone have a Super X2 with a vent rib barrel they could measure for me and let me know if it gets larger in diameter at the choke tube?

    Nick Stroebel's books

    I'm planning on ordering at least 1 of Nick Stroebel's books on old gun sights and scopes. I'd like to get a better idea of what each one has to offer. so I don't waste money buying redundant books. Does any one here have any insight into which one(s) I should get?
