I think the Nikons would give you the best value overall. Nikon Prostaff glass is very good. I bought a Burris FFII Tactical 2-7x35 for my AR and it's GTG http://www.burrisoptics.com/fftactical1.html . I paid $180, and it generally goes for $200. Glass is OK, but not as good as Nikon. What...

Here's my po-boy powder trickler: It's a clear BIC pen tube that can drop single pieces of even small powder like AA2230. I fill it with a powder funnel and it sits in the small medicine bottle. I use the large medicine bottle to hold a small amount of powder for the dipper, and also use it...

Another vote for RL15. On the tangent topic of FGMM powder, I pulled a couple of rounds from some 175 grain FGMM that I bought from MidwayUSA a month or two ago. I realize that the blend may in fact be different, and there's really no way to know for sure without getting employed by Federal...

Wow, this post is pretty old. I still have to throw in my .02. I bought a the SA UC V10 about five years ago, and it was reliable for about the first two. Then the problems started. I have about 5k rounds through it. It will not feed a 50 round box of 230 gr ball ammunition with at...

Thanks for the info. Sitting Fox has some gorgeous rifles! I'll have to give them a call and see if they will sell me a barrel or finish the entire gun. It's kind of a beater considering it was covered in camo tape when I got it. Later on down the road I'd like to buy one of their finished...

Buying a lower and building yourself is an economical way to get what you want. I agree that parts are hard to find, no doubt, but you can still get the job done, and for much cheaper than buying a complete rifle right now. Once you have the lower, you can pick up random parts as you find...

How's it going folks? I have a Charles Daly Hawken that was made in Spain that desperately needs a new barrel. The gun was left with family for many years, and they neglected clean it; now it's rusted and pitted. My question is: will the Green Mountain barrels fit this species of Hawken...

Awesome Thanks much!

No, I'm not trying to compensate for anything, it's just that they are the only large rifle primers that I have been able to find. Everyone everywhere is out of primers. The rifle is a DPMS LR-308 with a 20" Titan barrel from Fulton Armory. I'm looking at loading some Hornady 168 gr bt...

Even the most realistic movies have mistakes It's painfully obvious when you go frame by frame - http://fateoflegions.blogspot.com/search/label/Movie%20Guns At this point, all those mistakes are my bread and butter. Now I firmly believe that they give a film personality, despite it being...

My brother and I will respect Bass Pro Shops' policy . . .but their current policy is not clear. There are no signs posted at the door, and from the manager's original reply to my brother, it would seem likely that they don't prohibit OC. In Virginia OC is pretty common. On any given day...

Follow up on Bass Pro Shops Talking with my brother this morning, I don't think he's going to let them off the hook so easy. Clarification on their policy regarding open and concealed carry is a must, and I would strongly recommend that they educate their employees as to what the law is. If...

How's it going folks? Just an FYI, I wanted to post an open carry incident that happened to my brother at the new Bass Pro Shops store in Ashland, VA. http://fateoflegions.blogspot.com/2009/03/bass-pro-shops-and-open-carry-policy.html This is C-tone's brother sharing an experience from...

Blood Diamond Leo DiCaprio shows some great gun handling at the end of Blood Diamond with some controled semi-auto pairs using an AK47. Someone already mentioned Street Kings, but what impressed me in that movie were the magazine changes from Keanu Reeves.

I have both the Glock 17 and 26 It's definitely a plus to have both because, as you say, you can use the longer mags in the G26 and both guns feel the same. The little Glock is very accurate for its size, and I can hit balloons with it at 50 yards with boring regularity. I added Meprolite...
