I'm in a quandary! I'm beating the hell out of the knuckle of my thumb on my scope when opening the bolt on my Remington M700. I've see this knob on bolt handles at the range and I'm wondering how difficult it is to install. I know that the original bolt knob has to be milled down then...

Here's what I want to do... I recently purchased two guns from my son, a FAL and a Remington M700 SPS tactical in .308win 20" heavy barrel. I already have a Remington M700ADL Varmint in .308 with the 26" heavy barrel. Is it possible to take the ADL and put it into the SPS stock? I want to do...

My son wants to sell me his FAL and I don't know anything about them. This is what he has: Enterprise Arms FAL -SA58 FAL Extreme Duty Extended Scope Mount from DSARMS -FAL Rail Interface Hand guard Full Length from DSARMS -MAGPUL PRS2™ Precision-Adjustable Stock – FAL Model from...

Taking the plunge and starting to gear up to reload precision .308 WIN rounds for my M700. I've been told that I should consider upgrading my die set from Lee to RCBS, Hornady or Redding. I don't want to spend an exorbitant ammount of money on them but I don't want to be disappointed later on...

I need some advice... I'm just starting to reload for a Rem Model 700 in .308 and have really started to pay close attention to what is going on in each step of the reloading process. Before, all I was concerned about was keeping my wife and kids in ammo that would be reasonable for...

I'm curious if anyone knows where I can get information on what powders factories, in particular, Hornady uses in their commercial rounds. I managed to pick up some "blemished" 45acp 230gr XTP bullets and my new XD-S really likes that particular round so I would like to recreate them at home. I...

I DID IT!!!! Yes I finally got my WIFE to come out of the house and start learning how to reload! :what: I think she thought I was making things up when I told her that it wasn't easy and that I don't just go out and yank a handle and make a bullet! She now has an appreciation of what I go...

Well, I finally was able to get to the range to break in my new XDs yesterday and am Extremely happy with it! All shots were taken at ten yards using "Shoot N See" targets. I started off with 25 rounds of 230 gr Sellier & Bellot FMJ bullets to get the gun warmed up. Zero issues. Gun...

Spent the day with my wife today. :) Just driving around town and decided to swing by the LGS and see what they had in stock because she doesn't really like her CC pistol. They had the Ruger LCP .380 Auto with laser and she asked to look at it. After handling it and checking out all of the...

I need advise on what kind of information I should record when I visit the range. I'm also curious about what your range log pages look like. I want to start working up loads for my and my wife's various guns. In the past I would just find a generic load that performed well and lived with...

A friend of mine just gave me some .38 and .357 brass that he said was once fired. Any way I just threw the lot of it into my tumbler to polish and apparently he neglected to tell me that the .357 brass had been sized and re primed. I use crushed walnut shells in my tumbler with Flitz polish...

I'm having issues with trigger control now and need some advise on what CONSTRUCTIVE dry fire exercises I can do. After a range session last week it has been determined that I am pulling down during trigger pull which is causing my shots to land low. Anyone have a favorite drill that they...

I must be getting old or just can't understand what I'm reading. I'm trying to set up my RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure to throw charges for .223 cases. I'm using Hodgdon Benchmark powder and want to throw a 25 grain charge. I'm using a Lee Safety scale (I know...) to verify charge weight...

Thursday was my first FULL day of carrying concealed. I finally found a holster that was comfortable enough to wear all day and not feel like it was sitting funny. It is an "Old Faithful Holsters" IWB kydex holster for my SIG P229R and I finally have it all adjusted so it fits comfortably at...

I have a "Frankengun" 1911A1 (.45 acp) on a Norinco frame that I built in the mid 80's. It has always flatened the case mouth on one side during extraction/ejection. What is causing this and what do I need to adjust/replace to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I am in need of some advice from the "experts" here on THR about what your choice in a .45 acp CCW would be if money were no object. My 1911A1 is just too heavy to carry for extended periods and is a bit large to conceal easily. :( I'm looking at a Kimber Ultra TLE II in stainless but...

I'm in a quandry. I built a "Frankengun" 1911A1 using a Norinco frame back in the '80s. Now I want to put adjustable sights on it but have no idea what type of slide I have. I was just using parts I picked up where I could and this slide has no manufacturer marks other than a serial # 7790XXX...

I need help with a problem that may just be peculiar to me. I just bought an IWB holster for my "J" frame .38 SPL that I want to carry in the small of my back. The holster has a "J" clip that is supposed to hook over my pants and under the belt. The problem is, it is tugging the material of...

I need you guys to help me find someone who works on (re barrels) Mausers here in west central Florida or at least somewhere close. I have a project in the works and don't know where to get the help I need. My local smith said he would have to send it out to do the work and the cost seemed...

I have an old Stevens Model 56 Buckhorn .22 that I've had for 46 years but has no serial number. Apparently no serial numbers were used on some "inexpensive" rifles back when this gun was manufactured. Is there a proper way to mark it for identification purposes? I don't want to screw it up...
