Anyone have one to suggest or should I just run factory replacements?

I pulled the swivel from my Marauder due to bipod use. My Father would say, 'it's cheap plastic", others would come to find I abused the space aged polymer. In any case, I really liked it with the bipod (springs are a bit stronger than needed though) and did not like the cost and/or weight, of...

Lately there have been some pretty inexpensive versions I have seen and was wondering how well they do. If you have one, I'd be interested what it is, how you use it (what psi/volume are you using/filling) and what you think? Thanks.

I have other stuff to do but after a couple decades outside my homemade "Jrue" target was looking a little crusty and I decided to clean it up and thought it would be a good time to convert it away from lead acid and to my portable tool batteries. Outside for that long is hard on anything. A...

Have had a 7.35 mm for close to 40 years that was in my Grandmothers pantry. No one alive has ever shot it and I did come across some ammunition but seemed expensive enough to not be worth it. The action looks well used at some point and it is very smooth, kind of what got the ball rolling...

What is the fastest split you have seen on a shot timer and what brand/model was it?

Less than laboratory study but I found it interesting. In an effort for all the cases to be the same, I used new Winchester 30-30 brass and an RCBS FL sizer. The spray lubes were used per their instructions, the others using my fingers and a Q tip. I used a Lee breech lock press and a...

I have a couple of their throwers that wound up having the same problems. Both have the same 3 pin relay (along with a bunch of other electronics) connected to a 5 pin socket occupied by 4 wires. They are larger than your normal 12v Bosch style relay, about twice the size. Anyway, after...

I was given an MEC Grabber awhile back and had a friend over the other night, who’s son got a new shotgun and wanted to shoot it. After they were done he gave me the trash bag full of hulls, the MEC was set up for. I loaded them up and noticed the primers were a little high, but they still...

Had talked to a fellow awhile back about transferring NFA firearms, his ailing father in law had. He got that squared away and asked me yesterday if I was interested in some stuff he had. I rarely turn down free stuff and he stopped by yesterday and dropped it off. Reminds me I...

I was going to attempt a more comprehensive test but I didn’t get the hay put up until late and the rain came early. I gathered the 4 out and did a little testing at 50 yards before I had to put up. Using CCI blazer I shot 3 fowlers the proceeded with 3, 5 shot groups, round robin style vs...

So I needed a scissor lift to put up some lights in the shop and thought the logo looked familiar. The location didn’t ring a bell but I had to check their website, and it has to be more than coincidence that they use the same logo, just inverted and came from the same city.

I have to admit to doing a lot by feel over the years and learned what feels shot well and what one’s didn’t. The most recent annealing thread peaked my interest. So, I grabbed a 7/8-14 bolt and drilled out the center, faced the head flat, welded a nut to the top that the ram could thread...

I have had my APP for too long and only played with it a little, just to see how they made it but never put it to use. I had other stuff to do but kept walking by parts that looked like they could be something together so I spent a couple hours building one that could run itself. I didn’t want...

Curious if anyone here has any of the old yellow box Norinco 223 ammunition still. I am interested in what the powder charge looks like.

Another cold windy weekend at the bench and I have been kicking around the idea of building a shooting bench/trailer that could double as a blind. Anyone here thrown together anything similar? If so, how did you set it up?

Any one have a Kolpin stronghold XL gun boot #20705? I am looking for a rain resistant boot that will fit an AR with a thermal on it using 20 round mags.

I think it’s been more than a decade since I have had this one out. I wanted a running target but as it turns out, I think there is more to learn using it as a moving shooting port. Either way, one of my shooting buddies was thinking about more challenging targets we could use at play, than...

Kind of odd, I didn’t realize a “rattle” paint can was something that attracted skunk’s.

I am going to give it a shot (pun intended) and wondered on what methods others have used? I am going to try a digital SLR, remote flash triggered by two foil sheets that contact upon impact (like the first chronographs). Then I thought the sympathetic flash trigger I have might work and...
