    Anyone know if the Nightforce RAP (rail top ring cap) A428 will work on a Unimount which uses the 4 screw top ring cap? Their website description says it will... I already have the scope mounted with an old 10moa (maybe 20?) Unimount and was looking to add the rail cap. I want to mount an old...

    Case mouth swelling?

    Have not been shooting much the last year or two and decided to clean up my brass and load what I can to keep occupied on the weekends after a few weeks of 10-14hour days working from home (my company makes ventilators and we ramping production 7x right now). Anyway I have SS tumbled and full...

    Gunsmithing Looking for ar10 upper receiver truing /laping tool

    I have seen several inexpensive laping tools to true the receiver for the barrel extension for AR15 receivers, but I am not finding a cheap one for a large frame AR. Is there a place I can rent one? I only need it to do one receiver... I just got a new BHW .260 barrel that I am going to...

    Rifle Scopes Decipher S&B?

    I am looking at a S&B PMII scope and see: Schmidt Bender 5-25x56 PM II/LP Riflescope, Gen II XR cm ccw DT. model number 677-911-772-90-68 for about $2650 (new) which seems like a good deal. (Or can I likely do better through a Hide dealer?) I understand PM2 = police marksman 2, DT is double...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for Gun shops with higher end optics around Orem UT (SLC - Provo area)

    I will be in Orem UT all next week to oversee a couple of rework projects in our "new" manufacturing plant. I was hoping to find some decent gun stores there (unlike Kalifornia) to check out. Does anyone know any shops in that area that carry better optics like NF, Vortex Razor II, US Optics...

    padded "shooting" shirt brands?

    I saw a guy at the range that had a thin and form fitting long sleeve shirt that had elbow/forearm pads built in and a collar bone/shoulder pad. I am much happier in my prone shooting since I got some tru-spec tactical pants with Blackhawk foam knee pads for my broke ass knees and thought a...

    opinions on .308 brass?

    With 308 Winchester brand brass being in such short supply I was wondering if anyone could recommend a similar "budget" alternative? I am seeing some Prvi Partizan new unfired brass listed at $0.45 ea. Are these any good? I will be loading for both a gas and a bolt .308 (I keep brass/loads...

    Giraud trimmer set up help

    Last year before I got my Giuraud trimmer, when I was researching them, I remember reading about using die lock rings to make a "stop" on the neck collar. I have been looking for those posts but cannot find them... I have only been using it for .308 but I am about ready to switch to try some...

    Gunsmithing question on mounting barrel in LR 308 upper

    I have a DPMS LR 308 upper and a 24" Lilja heavy barrel, JP brake, along with a PRI CF round forend. I had taken it to a shop to have it assembled "the right way" as I have only done AR15 uppers a couple of times. Alas I think they did a half assed job of it. I broke in the barrel and have...

    Looking for Hide vendor discounts - for Magnetospeed V1

    I was able to borrow a magnetospeed V1 to try out from a friend while at the range yesterday. What an excellent tool. Worked very well (on my LR-308 with a Lilja bull barrel and JP large Bennie Cooley comp) in testing my different loads. Now I only want to buy one, but I am quite averse to...

    How far is too far?

    Background: I finally completed my LR-308 Franken-SASS after 10 months and took it to the range to break in the barrel and start working up a load for it this past Sunday. I had loaded up 50 rounds using some IMI match brass that had three firings from my Savage and used the charge my first...

    #&%@*%$!!!! Question on DPMS .308 upper rail height...

    So I bought a new DPMS assembled .308 upper with charging handle and FA from Midway a few months ago for my AR-.308 build. I have been buying pieces here and there and today found a screaming deal on a Troy .308 TRX battle rail (with "low" top rail). These are made in a "low height" rail and a...

    Redding neck sizer die questions

    I just received 500 new pieces of Winchester 308 brass and started looking at the Redding neck sizer and body sizer dies to replace my RCBS FL X-die. I have been having problems with cases sticking in the chamber of my Savage 10BA-LE (not a hot load @ 23.4 gr Varget with 175 SMK and IMI brass...

    .308 buffer question

    I am buying parts for my first LR-308 build. Just to confirm, a LR-308 uses a standard AR15 buffer tube? But I need a 308 buffer and buffer spring? I am planning to buy a PRS stock (I like the ones on my AR and 10BA-LE) and so I will be looking for an A2 full length buffer tube /308...

    I am looking for a high quality 24" .308 barrel for a DPMS pattern upper that I am building. Right now I am considering a Lilja 24" 1:11 heavy contour for $465. What others should I consider (that are in stock or that I can order in a reasonable (4-8 weeks) lead time? Yes I want 24", fluting...

    H4895 with .223 77 gr SMK

    I just got a new RRA 24" 1:8 varmint upper (Wyld chamber) and was going to start working up a load for it this weekend. I have a few pounds of varget and about 1/4 lbs of H4895 (enough for testing as this shows higher velocities for a 77 gr SMK). Using PMC brass with CCI 400 primers...

    A.R.M.S. #32 Harris Bipod QD Rail Mount?

    Has anyone used an A.R.M.S. #32 Mount for a Harris Bipod? How does the bipod attach to the mount? It is not clear from the pictures I am seeing. There is a square neck with a lip in place of the sling swivel stud. Does this attach to the bipod somehow? Does the threaded shaft just screw into...
