Re: cross dominant shooting I am left eye dominant and have been shooting since I was about 10 or 11. Maybe that is why I wasn't a better shot as a child...but I digress. I am right handed, and shoot primarily with my right (dominant) hand. Same goes for long arms. I use my dominant (left)...

Re: Gunsmith might have fouled my Surefire Flash Hider I've had my share of problems with "good" gunsmiths and suppose that many of the forum members have as well. This is part of the reasons why so many of us have taken the time to learn how to do our own work. If the gunsmith is truly...

Re: Taming Recoil on A 1911 Question I read your post and many of the responses. My wife is petite and loves to shoot my 1911. When we first went out to the range, we started off with a .22lr and she pointed at the 1911 and wanted to shoot that. She has trouble chambering rounds, but we've...

Re: Brass Punch Help... Check out a local estate sale, you find bargains there on tools (power and old school hand tools)- I have been super fortunate when making the drive to PA.

Re: Looking for a sling stud I agree with Mike. Go buy the other part at a hardware store or any quality online shop that sells fasteners. If you were not in Lithuania, you could go to Lowe's or Home Depot and pick it up. On another note - there should not be any issue with sending that one...

Re: Enfields! Anyone ever pick up or work with one of the Indian Ishapore Enfields chambered in .308? I've seen a bunch at some of the shows and am wondering if it is worth my time to spend providing the required TLC to get it up to speed. They look like they've been painted black instead of...

Re: Another source for 03 or K98 parts I've been to Sarco a number of times, but not since they moved some of their shop to PA. I never understood how places like that could operate in a free market economy - not very friendly people - not rude, but I never felt any friendly feelings towards...

Re: Some Pictures from the Trenches Great Pictures. If anyone is interested, definitely check out the National Archives, (NARA) in College Park, Maryland. It is worth a day trip if you are within an easy drive (or not). It is free to get in and use - you just need to register for an id (for...

Re: Smacking Steel with a Mosin Sniper at 550 yards Pretty rifle and good shooting. I'm rebuilding a Mosin sniper right now. Though, mine is not an original sniper rifle and I have had to order the bent bolt handle as a non-OEM part. What camera or setup are using using to take the...

Re: kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software. I am jumping in to the discussion a bit late here...but a related question. With some of the higher end Kestrels, I've seen a calibration kit offered for sale to calculate the relative humidity (I think). Has anyone ever purchased that...

Re: Amsec RF6528 gun safe My one regret to my safe purchase was that I did not get a larger one. In hindsight, I would have upped the size of my safe a bit - to what the stairs could hold without breaking. The one I have appears similar in size to yours and weighs about 900 pounds empty. I...

Re: Whats a good all purpose pack, not jus for rifles? Maxpedition bags are great. They are near indestructible, albeit a bit on the pricy side. The do come in many different colors and in my experience, will haul whatever your can stretch the zippers around. The best part is that whenever...

Re: Automobile safe Ditto on the Nanovault. It is a simple, well built product. and unlike other options, you can move it from vehicle to vehicle or house to hotel; you don't have to drill holes in your vehicle to secure it.

Re: Boots? Danners are awesome! I've had three pairs for about 16 years and love them. The Goretex keeps my feet dry and toasty warm. The ones I have (Ft. Lewis I think and two shorter versions) may be re-soled and have been many times. In the long run, the ability for me to re-sole the boots...

Re: Rifle Pack I had the Voodoo bag and picked it out primarily due to its much lower price. It is definitely not in the same class as any Eberlestock; however, that also means it is alot less expensive. The Voodoo bag holds alot by volume, but when you begin to put heavy items in, it really...

Re: DTA SRS covert case recommendation I agree with Unsichtbar. If you go ahead and use a pelican or other like case, everyone will stare at you and cops might become interested in you. If you are a bit creative and have the time, you may want to go shopping for a bag to fit your needs. If...

Re: Where to get basic gunsmithing tools Just make sure you use quality tools so you don't become uncomfortable and rush the job and mar the finish, scratch the metal, or worse because you used inferior tools. I sort of agree with some of the others have posted. Use Brownells as a template...

Re: Building a shooting tower. Need some feedback I have but one suggestion and it may seem off the wall to some depending upon the location. You may wish to angle the top shooting platform just a small bit so that rain does not puddle on the wood. You may also wish to use marine grade...

Re: pawn shop .308 Of course get 'em to knock down the price, give you ammo, a case, and a cleaning kit as the poor fool who sold it probably never bothered to clean it properly.

Re: Newbie saying hello Welcome; maybe you'll be at the special forces club in London sometime.
