Finally had a chance to get out and shoot on Friday. I tried my best to focus on the front sight with both eyes open and concentrated on getting a consistent trigger pull. I was shooting a SIG P226 at a brown cardboard target that I had drawn 2-3 inch diameter dots on with a sharpie. All groups...

To all that have posted, thank you very much for these suggestions. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and try some of these techniques in the next couple weeks. I've found a couple drills that I plan to work on that focus heavily on accuracy. The thing that gets me is that I used to be a pretty...

Correct.

I don't seem to have a too much of a problem with seeing two rear sights. Seeing two targets can be somewhat confusing at times. My biggest issue seems to be keeping the same amount of open space on either side of the front sight. I think I still have the plain black Meprolights that my Kimber...

I think part of my problem is that my eyes want to focus on the target and I really have to make a conscious effort to focus on the front. A wider rear notch would probably help to make the front sight more obvious. Any suggestions for a good set of sights that have a wider than normal rear notch?

I am right eye/hand dominant. All sights on all of my pistols are 3 dot style sights. One set with fiber optics. The rest are white 3 dot or tritium with white around the tritium vial. When I shoot I do my best to focus on the front sight.

The last year or so I've noticed that I seem to be having trouble aligning my pistol's sights left to right when I shoot with both eyes open. With both eyes open my groups are all to the left. They're consistent, just not where I want them. It doesn't seem to matter which gun it is, everything...

That seems to have worked. Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought 1000 200 grain SWC .45 ACP bullets from Magnus Bullets a while back and recently tried loading with them. What I found when attempting to adjust the seating die on my Dillon 650 (with Dillon dies) was very inconsistent seating depths from round to round. After cleaning the seating and...

Thanks Nighteyes. Once I was able to make out the blade marking I googled AEP bayonet and I'm thinking it might be Italian. Turns out there are some Italian M1 type bayonets floating around out there with AEP in an oval marked on the blade. However they have the number 19 underneath and no star...

Here are a couple of the whole thing. Blade is 9.5" from guard to tip. I disassembled the grip/latch assembly and there were no markings under the grip panels that might help. I found another good reference site for bayonet markings and the markings on mine didn't match anything on there...

So I picked up an M1 bayonet at the gunshow today. I've determined that the scabbard is Danish manufacture with FKF markings under the Danish crown stamping. The body is fiberglass with fake wood grain. On the blade right above the guard there is a stamping with the number 44 and some sort of...

So I've spent days looking for a scope for my new MKII FVSR. I think I've narrowed it down to these two: http://swfa.com/Vortex-3-9x40-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P51734.aspx http://swfa.com/Hawke-3-9x40-Panorama-Riflescope-P50909.aspx Basically I want something lowish power, with an...

Same thing happened to me over the summer. When you have a correction it gets sent directly back to the examiner handling your paperwork and usually only takes a couple more weeks to come back approved. As a side note the NFA branch is hiring 9 new examiners so wait times should start...

So I've got most of the rust removed from the receiver and coated it with RIG. The Flitz metal polish worked great but it is really tedious on the smaller parts. At this rate I'm going to be at this for weeks. Every time I look I see some that I missed so I think it's time to try a different...

So I've gotten most of the rust out of the receiver using Flitz and a boat load of q-tips. Sprayed everything down with breakfree for now and need to touch up a few spots with the Flitz. It'll get a generous coat of RIG when I've got some more time to sit down with it (along with all the other...

Would RIG work as a lubricant grease? Or is there something else that is better for it. I know the two original greases were lubriplate and plastilube. Anything that wont degrade? The Flitz polish is working just fine to take the rust of. Just takes time and a lot of q-tips.

It was a lithium soap based automotive grease. I've used it since I bought the rifle and never had any problems till now. This thing will be getting a cost of RIG once I get it cleaned up.

The kroil seems to be helping and some of the rust is coming off. I'll try some flitz if I can find any. Seems like I've looked for that before and haven't been able to find it. Any tips on cleaning the chamber?

Would a dehumidifier work well in one of those sheet metal type safes (lockers?) One of these days I'll get a large fire safe but don't really have room for it at the moment. The locker is the best I've got right now.
