    so i guess keymod is going to be dead soon

    So Midwest Industries has discontinued their keymod rail covers. I was worried about this when that study showing mlok is stronger came out. Ummmm? I hope this isnt the trend. I still have a bunch of key mod firearms

    Feisol cb-50C mod for panning lock out

    My feisol tripod setup is working decent except for the ball head panning base. I found the panning tightening screw not up to the task with my rifles mounted on the ball head and it would work loose during a course of fire. I know these ball heads are for photography mainly so I doubt the...

    wiebad mini stock pad

    I decided to try out their cheek pad. I was a bit concerned since it secures only by a velcro pad that sticks to the stock and I thought it probably will become unstuck and start peeling up since the Magpul prs stock is kind of narrow. Since they make one specifically for the prs stock, I...

    seating depth varying by 1/100th

    I have just started getting seating depths on my last loading varying +/- 1/100th. I am on my 4th firing of the same brass. I am alternating between neck sizing and FL sizing every other firing. I noticed this on the last time I loaded this lot and had to keep tweaking the seating depth across...

    magnetospeed for archery

    I dont have a magnetospeed yet but I was wondering if I could also use it to chrono my bow. Maybe there could be a way for mounting it to the riser? I use carbon arrows so I am not sure if it would register them or maybe there would be issues given the lower velocity.

    unrealistic AI marketing pic

    Maybe I am reading into this too much but this isnt a poster of an upcoming movie but from a rifle manufacturer. Shooting a rifle without a suppressor in a confined space without ear pro this guy's ears should be bleeding after his first shot. I initially thought maybe they were intending to...

    Gunsmithing I found a unicorn!

    Unicorn powder! I talked the hoarder in front of me from not cleaning out the guy. He left one behind for me. I finally get to see how this stuff shoots. I am thinking maybe it leaves a rainbow behind every shot.

    Options for measuring distance

    I don't own a rangefinder and have started shooting on public land. I go out by myself so I can't rely on someone else to range the steel through a spotting scope as I walk out. I was thinking on picking up a measure wheel and using it as I am walking out with the steel but the terrain is quite...

    SLC smog, what to expect?

    Just moved to SLC from Chicago. I keep hearing so many news reports about smog and how its the worst in the country. Seems that KSL morning news are talking about it every 5 mins. I have read the details about the pollution potentially taking years of our lives and I really cant tell much...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns benchmade adamas sheath failure

    I recently picked up a Benchmade fixed Adamas knife. I am very impressed with the quality of the knife. However, I noticed one of the buttons that secures the elastic strap to the sheath broke off the first time I attached it. It doesnt appear to be properly riveted to the sheath and only...

    Wyatt's DBM feed problem

    I tried his DBM .308 Assy w/10 Round Mag, WYATT'S OUTDOOR, INC. using my BC tac medalist with r700 action and it failed to feed 80% of the time causing a jam. When operating the bolt on a snap-cap, I could see the front of the round jump diagonally hitting the top of the action causing the bolt...

    Powder cop vs. lock-out die

    For guys with progressives, which powder check station do you recommend? The lockout die seems to be more of an active check while the powder cop is more passive since it requires you to monitor the powder cop's powder gauge. After calibrating the lock-out die, is it suseptible to false...

    Gunsmithing electroless nickel on ar15 receiver

    I wanted to try something different and had my upper and lower receiver nickel coated. I heard good things about Mahovsky (Hard Chrome Plating & Electroless Nickel Plating, Armalloy & Gun Bluing by Mahovsky's Metalife) so I figured I would use him. When I talked to him, he tried to discourage...
