    Muzzle crowning.

    Unless the muzzle is specifically damaged, going through the trouble of re-crowning the muzzle won’t help groups that are 11/2” at 25 meters. The trouble of getting a new barrel and mounting that instead would almost certainly be worth it. Because either there is something very egregious in...

    Rifle finishes

    Now, I’m not against coated or color enhanced firearms. I just think it’s a waste on what I remembered to be a relatively new rifle. I am more likely to sell a beautiful rifle to get a sturdy one, than deface a gorgeous blue. But I understand that not every human is this way. It may mean more to...

    Rifle finishes

    I can’t imagine paying a premium for a blued Browning rifle, just to strip it and have it painted. I probably would have bought the Hells Canyon version and saved this headache, plastic and paint won’t rust, of course keeping in mind that… …I will still have small springs and pins that will...

    Rifle finishes

    I use wax. Invisible, waterproof, sweat proof, easily applied and reapplied, removal not required, does not evaporate or migrate. It can be applied to all metals, wood and even inside the bore. It can be left matte or buffed to a high gloss. It won’t, cover the blueing with some hideous tan...

    7.62 Yahweh cartridge, is anyone familiar with it?

    I wouldn’t shoot anything from someone that would let a “wife’s friend” touch off rounds that weren’t disclosed to him. Having been on the receiving end of a clandestinely inserted 3inch magnum turkey load, when we were shooting clays with target loads, it just isn’t funny. It’s dangerous...

    Burn Rate Chart Inconsistencies

    Through my perusal, WST seems to be another one. I haven’t looked at rifle powders really, but I wonder if there is any to be found there. I prefer to stick with “normal” powders I think. But I guess if I knew before hand I wouldn’t mind.

    Burn Rate Chart Inconsistencies

    I did not. I find that the precipitation and snowfall from the trees to always have something other than a bullet in the screens during the winter. But, it was enough more that I thought I had done something wrong and, perhaps foolishly, only shot the two magazines that were loaded. I still...

    Fun with colors!

    Nice job, Loonwulf! That red really makes it. I bet it melts into the background, over there. I’d like to get a rust blue mimicking paint for the barrel and a hydro dipped fancy walnut design on my most used AR. Then I’d blend right in with all the older guys at the new club in joined!:p

    Burn Rate Chart Inconsistencies

    Last time out with my 45Auto I was very surprised to find the recoil and report to be substantial, much more than what I thought I had loaded it for. Evidently Silhouette is inversely sensitive and burns faster at -10° than at the balmy seventy degrees I definitely prefer to be shooting in. ;)...

    Today I enjoyed the outdoors. I chose to carry......

    Beautiful Gulf Fritillarys and Tawny Skipper, @Mars5l ! Swamped with work, it’s been a while since I’ve been out and about. I have got to make it down to Frederick Meijer Gradens for the butterfly exhibit! Spring is sprung! The Peepers are out! And I’m feeling froggy! It’s snowing at the moment...

    Burn Rate Chart Inconsistencies

    Except when Silhouette gets cold he gets mean. The others only get angry when it’s hot out. How things like this occur are magical to me. And like Slam said, it’s in the companies interests to keep us less than informed, so I continue to be mystified.

    Build a AR?

    This is the most efficient way. Some parts are perfectly acceptable, and buying premium versions is superfluous. Some parts are well worth it. (@Skylerbone, Jinks! 😁)

    Aero Precision

    Thanks for the heads up, but I could sell them for 72% off if I didn’t have any in stock, too… Still, they have a slick side upper, and they are supposed to be on the way, so I entered a “Notify me”. Thanks for the heads up,@kje54 . Always have to be looking out for a deal!

    Picked up 2 guns i inherited from my father.

    I really like my set. I agree with @Show Me , a terrible trade indeed. My condolences for you. May you smile and remember each time you use that fine rifle. In addition, “What? No See-Thru rings?!”

    Build a AR?

    Please, but, forgive me, I am about to digress… That’s how the Gestapo did it as well. Eliminate the teachers. It’s so much easier to steer the masses when they are half stupid, or more… The benefit of books is they cannot magically disappear at the whim of a faceless “algorithm”. It was...

    Is your measure gritty with H110?

    There must be a slightly larger tolerance in my Hornady powder measure as well, @Random 8 . I like ball powders for the ease of use, always spot on, never leaks. However, every once in a while I can feel an errant kernel get mashed between the cylinder and hopper. H-110 being the worst offender...

    Build a AR?

    Finally! I have an example of their blemishes! And worth every penny of discount! I may have mistaken it for my sand paper hands just rubbing the etching off. Now if I could find a Battle Arms Authority receiver set with an unnoticeable blemish for 50% off! 😁

    Build a AR?

    Try not to be disappointed when you don’t. I’ve bought a short ton of blemished items from PSA, Right to Bear(my favorite), and others. I haven’t found what they consider to be the blemish. I have been accused of being colorblind, even though I’m not, and sometimes they say it’s the finish...

    White River primers showing up in the wild.

    That’s what mine said. But I’ll warn you, taking up the “Handy Nanny” mantle is tougher. Two year old twins are not as easy to handle as a grunt that smells like drinking! And they don’t leave any time for the handyman stuff! Maybe y’all need a northern rep? Hours on the road talking to...

    My Newest Rifle, CZ 457 Varmint 22lr

    What kills a rimfire barrel, after a LONG time of shooting, is the abrasion with the silica glass materials that are found in the priming compounds to make them more impact sensitive . This debris is blown down the bore and settles with gravity at the bottom of the bore. Then the bullet rides...
