I decided to modify my Marlin 60 in the hopes of improving it. Some of the main mods that are visibly obvious and some aren't. Listed in no special order. I am not 100% finished. I now have the plastic cracking and will get a DIP trigger & guard. I need to cleanup up the receiver metal. 1...

Longshot - Lakeland Rifle Any of you know of a Lakeland brand of rifle? I have not found any info on it. I got a call today from someone who just bought one. (used, not new). I can't find anything on the web. Prior to the call I have never heard of one.

I have an aquaintance that has a .270 Browning with a BOSS on the end of the barrel. He can not get it to stay in tune. Last night after a meeting he asked me to take a look at it. I have not taken the gun yet. My plan would be to first check all the usual things on a rifle with no BOSS...

Over the years people have given me powder that they thought I could use. I have never used any of it for a few reasons. Main one being safety. What if the powder was not in the properly marked container. I just came in for a lunch break. I am in the middle cleaning up after a 50 pound...

What are some range hazards you encounter at your local ranges? I guess people and guns could be a primary hazard. So I left them off as it is a given. You are welcome to list them as they are a big part of safety and could easily save a life. I was thinking along the lines of secondary...

http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/25792/catid/1/BL_550_Basic_Loader $259.95 Looks like a good option for certain situations. The BL 550 is a stripped down RL 550 B. It is fully upgradeable to the RL 550 B, however no price is listed for the upgrade.

My shooting buddy used Ramshot Zip in a .45ACP and found it very dirty. He upped the charge to near max and it is still on the dirtier side. Has anyone else tried Zip? If so how did you like it? Findings for other calibers beside .45 or other Ramshot powders are welcome. I have used the...

I already have RCBS Uniflow (standard drum) and think it is great. I believe it is a bit old but works well. I have a chance to get a Redding 3BR for around $80.00 cash or trade out some ammo. Is this an upgrade or a sideways move? They look very similar in design. The 3BR does seem more...

Inspired by the "Legging Out" thread. Does anyone know how the term "first leather" came about? I'm sure some have never heard the term. I have read how "Palma" rifle got it's name. Might be interesting to some of you, but y'all probably know already.

Can anyone tell me what they have for a decapping pin / expander diameter or the neck I. D. for their .243? I have a set of .243 Winchester dies that I got used. The decapping pin / expander measures .237" and the neck I.D. ends up .236". My first clue they might be too small is the Lee...

What is the reason to change to a tactical bolt knob? I'm not trying to crack on any body that has them. I honestly want to know why change from the original.

I have an AR15 that is 16" 1 in 9 twist. Your basic M4gery with a 5.56 chamber. What do you gentlemen think would be a good bullet for 200yd target accuracy? I am fairly sure a 62 grain would not be a problem. I think a 69 grain should work. A 75 grain might be pushing it. Any suggestions...

If anyone would like to offer any advice on shooting F Class I would really like to hear it. I am thinking along the lines of: Tips, Technique, Equipment, Practice and any other pertinent topics. Also add questions or topics as needed. I have shot 4 events all at 600 yds and all at the same...

Last night I ran across some magazines titled "Vietnam". I will add specific info on the magazine & articles later. The issue I borrowed had 2 items of interest. #1 - There was a photo of a U.S. soldier with a short barrel m16 with a collapsable stock. The article was a about a specific...

Does anyone know how high it should shoot between 25-50 yards to be on at 200yds. I want to shoot a 200 yd match with it this weekend. I will be able to function test & sight in on 50 yds before then. The rear sights are the milled with 1, 2, 2.5 & 3 detents. (not ready to file the fronts...

I have 3 different bullets for .308 Win. All are 168 grain Boat Tail Hollow Points. Is there any way to quickly get an idea of which one works the best? Would simply picking 1 charge weight of 1 powder and seeing which bullet shot best be a fair comparison? Sierra, Hornady & Nosler are the...

My Previous post malfunctioned! I'm about to bed a Rem 700 SPS Varmint. It is my firt time bedding anything. (Maybe I should rephrase that.) It is my first time Bedding a RIFLE. I already stiffened the fore end for various reasons. 1 being to make sure the epoxy took to the synthetic...

Looking for a set of good quality scope rings to fit the 3/8" dovetail on a Marlin 60. I currently have the Millet Angle Loc rings on it. Does anyone have any experience with the type that is fixed on 1 side, such as these Burris? http://www.burrisoptics.com/rings1.html#3 I'm looking for...

.45ACP - What's you favorite powder? Go ahead & include the "Why it is my favorite" if you want. Bullet weight & type of shootin would be good to know also. I have only used Unique with 230 grain FMJ for target & pins and steel. A friend asked for some .45ACP powder advice (230gn FMJ). I...
