I used to use Beamhit's sniper trainer system. It is much cooler, with photo targets that can be ranged, wind and temp factors, etc.

Even more expensive, though.

I use the same "seating" method you describe here and have never had a problem damaging parts or removing a barrel latter. The use of a good anti-seize grease is something a lot of people seem to forget. I've taken barrels off uppers for people to find the threads on the receiver damaged ...

Worst part for me is when the gas-tube holes in a screw-on forend don't align and I have to decide between 'too much torque' or 'too little'. Sometimes I use some Teflon plumbing tape to thicken the shoulder on the barrel assembly that is pushed on by the barrel nut/forend. The torque range is pret...

I got a kick out of the guy who posts that the reason he likes Gen 4 Glocks is because they have interchangeable backstraps, so he can choose the one that gives him the same frame size as a Gen 3 Glock. I like the Gen 4 better than the Gen 3 'cause I can choose the grip frame size that is the same a...

No links. The problem with forums and stuff is that first, you have groupies an fanboys who fall for every glossy ad they see in Guns and Ammo.

I'm not saying that no one has a Gen 4 Glock that runs perfectly for 10s of thousands of rounds, or that the G4 Glock is not better than a lot of other pistols, but it has been demonstrated by those who have the resources to test a lot of pistols with a lot of ammo over a lot of time that the Gen 3 ...

The Gen 4 Glocks have issues. Not so much that they are in the category of some unreliable pistols, but they have proven to be less reliable than Gen 3 Glocks. Most of the changes were not changes that were necessary, they seem to be changes for marketing so they could fight back for market share ag...

The best one is not a shotgun, but an AR in 5.56. :D But even with training a pump shotgun can be a struggle for a smaller person with shorter arms. A shooter stock can help, but even so, I have seen small women and children that had no problem with recoil learning the mechanics of running the actio...

I feel the same way! Something about putting my guns and optics in water makes me cringe so bad... You don't get durability with dipped finishes.

I never had a problem switching to drive on the left. My problem always comes when I return to the US. Pulled out into traffic in the wrong lane a couple times after returning from NZ.

Most of the results I've seen come out between 'hideious' and 'tacky', with various stopping points between the two. I have yet to see a pattern I'd willingly inflict upon a firearm.

I'm amazed that diesel costs more than gasoline... yet is a by-product of producing gasoline. At one time there were fewer process' needed to produce diesel. Today it needs to be desulfurized. It is also refined so that it has fewer particulates when burned. And lastly, it has higher taxes imposed ...

Only real advantage to dips is for volume - it is cheap. Also if you want to use a photographic type pattern.

Other than that, it is better to go with DuraCoat or Cerakote or Gun Kote if you are doing stuff one-off. You don't get durability with dipped finishes.

Praying for you and your family.

I like the bolt-mounted peeps best, and have one rifle with one. They are streamlined, small, and elegant, and adjust easily for range. They are just cool, too. The advantage is with the receiver sights, of course - they are not on a moving bolt, they are built a bit stronger, and if they break, the...

I have broken 3 transfer bars in 2 different Ruger SA's. It doesnt seem to be that uncommon. Yeah, I know - I was mostly joking, and about the adjustable sights as well.

Why are you aiming where you want to hit then? Obviously, you need to just come to terms with shooting what the pistol wants to shoot. Then you will be happy.

Do they hit high, low, or to the side?

I have no experience period in the 6.8 SPC. It may be a fine cartridge, but I don't like the bullet diameter, don't care for a .270 Winchester either. IMHO the cartridge was developed by a bunch of guys with a surplus of that diameter bullet, a 6.5 or 7mm would have been better. You also have to ha...

I'll take fixed sights any day on the bearcat. Fixed sight look better, too, on that pistol.

Whenever people tell me they broke their Ruger revolvers, 9 times out of 10 it is the rear sight - nothing else breaks on Rugers!

And prices to match. People complain about ticket prices today, but air travel used to be a luxury that was hard for most to afford. even in the 1970s, a ticket to Alaska was usually $1,000.

One question - I tried chambering a 300 Blk in my 223 AR, and no way it would fully chamber; I am not sure, but I don't think the bolt was far enough forward that the firing pin could go fully forward (no bolt rotation yet). I realize that this depends on a) the specific ogive and overall length of...

On the SIG Brace issue, what I am getting from the conflicting letters is that they are poorly worded, but what the ATFE is trying to get across is a statement about intent. If a pistol was made with a SIG Arm Brace, and was intended to be a pistol with the brace used correctly, it is a pistol, and ...

I was thinking the AR 10 might be heavier than I want for a car gun. I was thinking with the SIG brace that would 1 fold and a 6 detachable 8"bbl, it would fit a notebook carry case. One could keep the 16" barrel right by the other barrel in the car. It then becomes a 16"rifle (no pa...

Don't mess with quick-change barrels. It adds expense and complication and is slow. If you do this, then use two dedicated uppers. They switch faster and you can keep an appropriate optic mounted to each. For what you want to do, just do the short BKL barrel, on one upper, and like 6pt said, make th...
