    Home made barrel vise!

    Yet another random metal project. I built this for a friend. We will be using aluminum V blocks to use it as a barrel vise/shop press. I've seen plenty online, but I figured I'd try my hand. It took me about 6 hours and $100 (I had the bottle jack lying around). Specs: Every plate/guide is 1/4"...

    Suppressors Switch caliber suppressors. Do they exist?

    I'm interested in buying or possibly making some suppressors in the near future as part of an NFA trust, but what I've been looking for I haven't been able to find. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. Does anyone make a can that can change calibers? For instance, I could have 30 cal...

    California 10 day wait is no more?

    Got an email today from the CrossRoads of the West gun show people that a federal judge in CA has just ruled that after your first gun purchase/background check and 10 day waiting period, any further firearm purchases do not fall under the mandatory 10 day waiting period. Can anyone verify this?

    Maggie’s Idiots with firearms photo thread

    I teach classes on close quarters shooting with decent regularity, and one of the things I've done is at the beginning of each class, I go through a slide show of photos I've collected of idiots doing idiotic things with firearms to remind the students why muzzle awareness and common sense are...

    Eyes question.

    So I'm assuming this is a really stupid question, but here goes anyhow. For longer range shooting (1,000m +) is there any benefit to shooting with both eyes open, or is the traditional non firing eye closed deal the only way to go. I'm very familiar with the Bindon Aiming Concept, but I'm...

    DIY Rear Monopod

    I got bored today and started looking at rear monopods for my rifle and decided I'd just make my own. It's by no means professional but it cost me a total of $16. It also functions as a hand stop for my left hand. I started with this pile of parts, which includes a turn buckle, a 1/2x13x3"...

    Maggie’s Most Tactical Marshmallow Roast Ever!

    As absolutely ridiculous as this is, I got a kick out of it. Figured I'd share. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/isgAGIylCoQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Stippling

    So I got bored and for a weekend project I decided I'd stipple my PMags and rail covers. It really isn't that difficult and the results are outstanding (especially given that this was my first attempt at it). I'll try my hand at stippling metal tomorrow. Odds are that's going to be a bit more...

    Home made steel pistol targets

    I do a bit of metal work as a side job and decided to make these for my parents for Christmas and a birthday this past year. Just thought I'd share. Not very difficult to make and lots of fun to shoot! The first one I made for my Dad. It's a lanyard pull reset so he never has to leave the firing...

    New guy would like some build advice please.

    I'm not exactly new to shooting but I've never gotten into the longer range stuff (600m+) and I got a Remington 700 SPS .308 right before I deployed. I'm looking to get some parts together to build it into my long range hog/deer rifle when I get home. I'm not the kind that will just shoot and...

    Another new guy

    What's up guys. Been doing some reading on and off for a few months now and finally decided to join up. There is definitely some good info to be had here. I'm here to learn as I'm planning a rifle build when I get home from this deployment. I have the standard Remington 700 .308 to build off of...
