So I bought a remington 700 adl varmint at LGS for a song and dance a few months ago. I figured I would get a nice stock and build it for a light tactical rifle (range toy). I started looking for a composite stock with aluminum bedding blocks and it seems the choices are very limited for blind...

I somehow managed to bulge the barrel in my kimber custom target this morning, I'm not sure how it happened, I didn't experience any extra recoil that was noticeable. In any case has anyone sent work to kimber? I'm sure they will replace the barrel but at what cost and how long would it take...

A good friend of mine just inherited 3 1873 trapdoor Springfield rifles (2 rifles 1 carbine) and a winchester 1866. The I think the Winchester is in 44 rim fire (does anyone make this stuff?) He wants to shoot the rifles if it's safe to do so. I think the winchester is out due to odd...

Started life as a stockish colt lightweight commander, about 30 years ago someone put a millet dual crimp front sight on it. I picked it up at a local show for a project about a year ago. I broke all the hard edges on the slide at a 45 degree angle as opposed to "melting" it and parkerized. I...

I bought a 16in light profile 5.56 barrel 1-8 twist from amazon for a song and dance, it's made by Black Hole Weaponery. I know they use polygonal rifling and make a decent product, does anyone know of any querks these barrels have? Any ammo that doesn't shoot well? I reload and it would be...

I have some .310 bullets from a different project, I have a .309 lee sizer die from yet another project. I was thinking about loading the 123 gr hornady SP's for my m1903 with trailboss for a plinker load. I have loaded .309 lead for the old war horse, but I have had better luck with jacketed...

With less than 900 rds through it... The bolt is from model one sales. I replaced the extractor pin when it cracked 200 rds ago as well. Is there a better option for bolts out there? I was thinking about building in a different caliber anyways but I wouldn't mind burning up the ammo I have...

Who is shooting hardcast lead bullets out of a 7.62x39, 300 whisper, etc? I have some gas checked hardcast bullets that I was thinking about loading for my 7.62x39 AR. Am I going to get leading on the rear of the bolt? Inside the carrier? Could the gas tube get clogged? Should I just try it...

As title says, has anyone here purchased or shot a rifle/upper in the new 300 blk? Better yet has anyone verifyed the velocitys with a chrony? It looks like a good way to launch .30 cal bullets from the ar-15.

What kind of accuracy do you get from your dedicated .22 upper? I have a S&W 15-22, I might get 2 in at 50 yards... It's reliable and fun to shoot, but I wish it was more accurate. If a decent .223 upper with a free float handguard shoots 2 in at 100 yards with bulk ammo, why can't my 15-22...

So, I have been buying hornady 55gr fmjbt w/c for about $55 per 500. I know I could save a few bucks with winchester pills but I hear they are inconsistent. I would like a bullet that can keep up with being at least 1.5-2 moa capable. So how about wideners "mil-spec" or Remington? I'm open...

So I need to raise the rear sight on a commander length slide to bring the POI of said weapon up. I would love to change out the sights on the gun but the front is a dual crimp millet sight, I have the highest profile millet rear I could find but now it needs to go up! So what kind of solder...

How much of a pain is cleaning an AR-15 after shooting corrosive ammo? I have a AR in 7.62x39 and am thinking about buying some of that Yugo surplus that is out there. How do you clean the rifle without pulling the gas block and tube? How does corrosive ammo affect aluminum? I clean my...

So, I was looking for some pistol bullets and realized that .32 acp bullets are sized at .312 in. Anyone ever load these in 7.62x39? I've shot .311 and .312 bullets for the 7.7 arisaka and .303 brit, but what about a lighter handgun bullet? I doubt it would feed well, but could a 85-115 gr...

I'm looking at these parts kits from sarco.com, they don't list manufaturer of the parts they just call the "GI" parts. I'm just looking for a cheap kit to plink with. http://e-sarcoinc.com/arcompupperkitforretracta.aspx

I'm going to visit a local private gun club this afternoon. What features do you look for in a club? Is there anything you avoid? I guess I am more interested in being accepted by the current members (i'm 26 and still getting treated like i'm an 18 year old punk) but that's another storyall...

Anyone have any thoughts, Wisconsin may get some sort of CCW law soon and my fiance wants something small to keep in her coat pocket. She goes to the range with me a few times a year and doesn't like my Kahr P9 but didn't mind my dads NAA guardian .32 (except for trigger bite). I'm thinking...

Went to cabelas yesterday and got CCI small rifle primers for $19.99 per 1000. The deal is good online too!

What kind of steel is a "blued" steel colt 1911 slide made out of? The gun is a series 80 lightweight commander. Colt said it was made in 1983 if that makes a difference.
