    Leupold's Firedot SPR and mil-dots -- tips and use?

    Hi! I recently installed a new Leupold Mark AR Mod 1 1.5-4x20mm scope with their "SPR" reticle. I've read the two manuals that came with it, parts of which were applicable to this scope and parts of which were not. However, the parts that were applicable had some interesting discrepancies...

    Mr. John C. Garand and the M1 rifle Movie!

    This is just fantastic! Worth a few minutes out of your day. :) History, industrial processes, development of military arms, historical footage galore. What a cool old movie!

    Bokken

    Three of the kids are going to be attending Hapkido camp in a few weeks and the focus will be on some basic weapons training. They've got their foam padded nunchaku ready to go, but we were told they would need a set of bokken to participate. I asked to borrow one from the instructor and made...

    No Foolishness!

    The dad of a buddy of mine was the sort of gruff, harried fellow who's fatherly admonitions regularly consisted of furrowed brows, a raised finger and that growled line, "No foolishness!" For some reason that came to mind as I was working on this knife. :) Straight and simple. Rugged and...

    Heavy Shivver

    Hi guys! Shaking off the winter hibernation here. :) I went ahead and finished up the last of my heavy versions of our "Shivver" reverse-tanto-wharncliffe blades. This is a stout blade: 1/4" 5160 semi-full-flat grind that's 1-3/8" wide at the front of the choil. Blade: 6" OAL: 11"...

    New Little Kaiken

    Hi all! It has been a LONG time since I've made a knife. Way too long. Recently I was spurred to get off my butt (or, rather, get my butt off of other issues and back to the workbench) and finish up a few. This is one I'd roughed out months back in 440C. Supposed to be a small Kaiken Tanto...

    Re-Profiling AR barrels

    I'd like to hear your experiences if you've had an AR (or other) barrel re-profiled. I'm vaguely considering having a standard contour 16" midlength AR barrel turned down to a lightweight or featherwieght profile by AR15Barrels.com. The plan would be to reduce both the diameter behind the...

    DIY Low-Profile AR-15 gas block

    I've seen this on line and figured I'd try it myself. As I'm planning on a MI light weight float tube for this build, I needed a low-profile gas block and to get rid of the existing sight tower. I could buy one, but that costs money, and I already have a nicely pinned gas block fit to this...

    IMR PB and Cast Bullets

    I've done a little research and it seems like PB would work for my needs but I figured I'd ask first... I was in my favorite LGS last week and almost the only pistol powder they had was IMR PB. I couldn't recall even having heard of it in any specific context, and don't know anyone who's...

    AKS-74 gets MD-06 Red Dot and M.I. Mount -- But will it RUN?

    Hi guys! So the old gal got some specs: That's Midwest Industries' AK Mini-Dot mount, that they sell packaged with a Primary Arms MD-06 micro-dot for a pretty danged good deal price. It does indeed give you a basically adjustable mount and a great sight arrangement.

    Customs and Guns

    Sam: I had an interesting experience today. I found myself to be totally wrong about an assumption I'd made. (:eek: I know, right?) I'd been reading Phillip Caputo's The Longest Road, about his Key West-to-Alaska road trip, and he'd mentioned in an off-hand way that among all the packed...

    Firearms curricula for teens & tweens?

    Howdy! My wife's school group is looking for some good curricula to use for teaching firearms safety to kids above the "Eddie Eagle" level. Strangely, I really have no idea where to steer them. Obviously the four rules are just great, but they're looking for something a little more engaging...
