    Rifle Scopes scope slipping forward?

    A lot of less expensive scope rings have about 20% surface contact with the scope when aligned and you start to lap them. That's why a lot of manufacturers are now putting tape in them from the factory. I should have said some of the least expensive manufacturers that I've seen lately, not a...

    Gunsmithing Short-stroke piston swap into PSL

    The PSL was considered a "Designated Marksman" rifle,they were used to keep the enemies heads down while the guys with AK's got in range. It's my opinion that they will never be accurate for more than a couple rounds due to the outer diameter of the barrel. The hotter they get the worse they...

    Gunsmithing Bedding Materiall

    I like Acraglas , you can dye it black or brown. I use Johnson paste wax for a release agent. Do yourself a favor and scrape the oozing compound off with a popsickle stick and remove the tape from the stock as soon as possible. Any slight overflow onto the metal you can just let dry and it will...
