my wife has asked me to provide her with a list of my guns. if she were outright anti-guns, i wouldn't give it to her, but she's tolerant, not an activist. although she's been to the range with me and actually shot a few of my pieces, that has only happened once, out of curiosity--both the visit...

i was pretty excited when i took delivery of my new piece, but now that i've put some rounds on it, it's evident that it needs some refinement. first case, the irons are on 25yd paper out of the box, but there are no instructions in the manual about how to adjust them, so i've left them alone...

i used a Sight-Rite bore sighter to align my new scope on my Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 Creedmoor, and now, when i close the bolt on an empty chamber without turning it, it no longer glides into place. this just happened after using the sighter. it used to slide forward smoothly, even with a...

I bought another AR that has the traditional A-2 front post and a flip-up BUIS on the rear. I am installing one of my old TRS-25s on the rail, and am using a UTG medium height QD 3-slot mount for it, which means it will be absolute co-witness. My irons are already zeroed, so I'm guessing all I...

I can continue with this setup as I have it, but where I make my cheek weld, the eye relief is just on the border; that is, if I move forward, the little round circles appear; if I move backwards the full focus is good for another 3/8 inch. These are Talley integrated mount/rings I ordered...

I like to stay around the lower end of the scale when setting up a load. I refer to four or five reference books and online. I have successfully replicated a "Managed Recoil" load using 110gr bullets; however, the last time I prepared this load, I mistakenly took the min load for IMR-4350...

I've had a few priming tools and have grown to like this one, but after a few hundred rounds, it started to give resistance and wasn't seating primers below the case head. I noticed a few were slightly dimpled on the edge. I set aside cases that weren't primed properly (used 3X Hornady) and even...

Of course, I'll have to remove the barrel from the stock, but I was just wondering what kind of tool to use to dress the sharp edges on this piece. Straight mill bastard file (mine is actually for metal, I think) or a Dremel wheel, or what? Thanks

I am thinking of putting the Accelerator on my M4, but am not sure how beneficial this will be. Right now, with iron sights (it has the removable carry handle that has a rail underneath) I'm getting 5" groups from the bench at 100 yards. It has a TFO fiber optic front post, otherwise, the...

The extractor on my mini (abt 540 rounds) has become deranged. It appears to be pushed over, and is not concentric with the other two shell-holder pieces of the bolt. I believe it has been bent out of shape because I've run cartridges that are a little short (I've found COALs on .300BLK in my...

Hello All, I am having trouble finding a QD mount to put my red dot on the factory rail of my Mini. I'd like it to be low profile. Any suggestions? Thanks Bill

The owner's manual proscribes dry firing, stating that if this is done, damage may occur to the barrel and/or firing pin. I only have a few boxes of cartridges through this rifle and would like to put some wear and tear on the trigger to smooth it out some, without spending a small fortune on...

i'm not by any means a 'gunsmith,' although of course, i can and do field strip when i need to. my little Handi is a single-shot, break action that appears to have a very simple fire control group. i'd like to get the trigger down to about 3.5lbs to 4lbs from the current 6 pound pull...

i've just started loading AR ammunition, and am "loading down" to .223 specs, rather than 556 specs, which has been recommended. i've only been reloading for a few months, and have had great success with .243 Win. my immediate problem is that it seems i have to use lots of pressure to...
