    The swiss clipper? (and other multi tools with nail trimmers)

    There's also the Gerber DUC:http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,7169.0.html It's much smaller than the Wenger version but much lower quality. The clippers are a lot less fine and don't cut as cleanly as the Wenger. The size difference was enough for me to switch though.

    Which 5.56/.223 rifles will run steel cased ammo

    Funnily enough the only problems I've had with steel cased ammo have been in a 5.56 Saiga. Had 2-3 stuck cases with polymer Wolf during the first 500 rounds.

    1917 eddystone problems

    What's the magazine box supposed to do? If it was rebuilt at an aresenal you should be able to check the stock for markings of a rebuild/rearsenal: http://m1903.com/rbmarks.htm Here's another link to help explain: http://www.odcmp.org/new_forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=62092 :)

    You're rear sight is slightly crooked when viewed from the top? This is normal, but it can be "fixed." http://www272.pair.com/stevewag/arsight/arsight.html Here's another thread dealing with the issue. http://www.thehighroad.us/showthread.php?t=237043

    AR15/M16, M1-Garand/M14/Carbine MATCH (ends 9/08/09)

    Can't it be both? How well someone can shoot their rifle off bags and a rest? :neener: Position shooting really requires some special equipment to get the best groups whereas bench/rested shooting can be done to a fair degree with some folded towels or bags of sand. It may take less skill and...

    Retraining to shoot left handed

    They usually chuck brass far enough to make shooting a right-handed AR comfortable enough to shoot left-handed. Depending on who you ask the ejection pattern can be from 1-4 o'clock, angles at which the brass will generally avoid the shooter. I've got about 1K rounds downrange from a RH AR...

    Military Rifle Technique question

    I think there is some misunderstanding what the OP was actually describing. It's not that the personnel are shooting with a high location of the buttstock, it's that they are scanning with their optics with the buttstock resting on the shoulder. See below for an example: This is not a firing...

    AR15/M16, M1-Garand/M14/Carbine MATCH (ends 9/08/09)

    CLASS 1: AR-15/M-16: 50 yard unmagnified optics (ie. red dot) Had to borrow my instructor's rifle for this one, hopefully I'll be able to use it again at 100 yards later in the month. :D

    Stag left handed upper- barrel swaps/compatability?

    I've heard it said that you need a barrel with an Ambi-extentsion to work in the lefty Stags. But I've also heard that you can use any extension and thus any barrel. I've been looking for an Ambi barrel for months and have yet to find one for sale anywhere, ditto for a complete 20" lefty upper...
