I have inherited a Remington 721 with a 24” barrel chambered in 30-06 that was originally my grandfathers then my uncles. My dad thinks it was purchased new in 1949. I am pretty sure that it was used for hunting not target shooting. I have never heard any complaints about the rifle but I...

I had thought to speed my case resizing efforts by putting the Lee Case Length Gage and Cutter in a drill press chuck rather than use the Case Locking Stud in a cordless drill. I discovered that the tip/end of Lee Case Length Gage was intended to contact the base of the Locking Stud that...

I recently received a hand me down 721. For some reason my Uncle thought it was a good idea to grind both front and rear sights down to the level of the dovetail on the barrel. Thankfully the barrel or front sight mount has not been touched. I want to remove the sight bases from the...

I hope that you guys can lend a hand to a non-gunsmith. In the past I must have just been lucky. I have successfully ground to fit butt pads using a home made jig for correct angles and ease of grinding. I made sure that the replacement pads I have ordered were listed as already having...

I just received a used compm4 sight I purchased from an auction. It is the first Aimpoint sight I have ever physically seen/touched – none to be had locally. The sight has either been damaged during shipping (it arrived loose in a crappy usps "post it" bag) or it is not the one pictured on the...

I understand the reticle dot size and night vision aspect of model designation – example: M2 is night vision compatible while an ML2 is not night vision compatible. What I can not find in model descriptions is difference of performance or otherwise from say an M2 vs. and M3. All seem to have...

This may sound strange but for me it’s a fact. I shoot with irons much better than I do with the eotech reticle. I really like the field of view with the eotech and I do see more of the intended target. Which I would think would do nothing but help. But my groups are larger –fast or slow...

223/5.56 case prep -what are you willing to do? I have been reloading for handgun calibers for @ 5yrs and rifle for 3yrs. The handgun cartridges have been in quantity using a progressive press. Other than clean the handgun cases they go right into the progressive press and nice accurate...

I am looking at purchasing either a Dillon 550 or Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive Press to load for pistol and rifle calibers. I currently have a Dillon Square Deal B that I have been very happy with for 9mm, .40 s&w and .45 acp. Wished I had bought the Dillon 550 to start with but...

I have read that the Eotech retical can be used for determining range. It even mentions this on Eotechs web site but I can not find any document describing how to do this. Can anyone explain how or where I can find info? Thanks.

I have the opportunity to purchase a Nikon Monarch VSD Red Dot Sight. It would be used on an AR-15 flattop. Not sure how much interference an A2 front sight might cause. I like the idea of selectable dot size up from 1 to 10 moa. Are these any good or should I pass on this?

I recently purchased a used 552 BDL that I am very happy with. I would like to know when it was manufactured. I did a web search and found http://remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes But the serial number on my 552 is not on the barrel it is on the receiver. And my serial number...

I would like suggestions for an improved trigger. I use my AR for fun and varmint hunting for fox and coyote. My trigger is not as bad as some factory AR's I have tried but it is very heavy. I have to really work at keeping things consistent out past 100 yards. What is the general...

I was looking to replace the stock on my Remington 1100 12 gage with one that has a shorter length of pull - 13 or maybe 12 inches. Any shorter length of pull stock suggestions would be appreciated. I noticed that some manufactures list both 870 and 1100 for the same stock – Hogue over...

I am going to purchase a quantity of ammo for my Stag Arms AR-15 and would like to make the right choice. So far I have been using a friends stash which has mostly been Black Hills 55 Grain of some kind. It would be used for varmint/predator hunting and fun at the range. The Black Hills...

I have observed something that I do not understand regarding Remington 1100’s. My 1100’s bolt will not lock back when manually pulling the bolt back as long as there are shells in the mag tube. A friends will lock back each and every manual cycle of the bolt even with shells in the mag...

I installed the Remington “competition” carrier that has the longer button into my 1100 to facilitate reloading. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=185213 I was told this was a “drop-in” part. But it has not been. I had to adjust the center tab and remove...

I have been very pleased with a Stag Arms AR15 I recently purchased. It is my first rifle of this type. I would like to know what people believe to be a “proper” grip for best trigger control etc. I have small hands. I do not believe the finger notch of the pistol grip that came with the...

I was able to spend an afternoon shooting a well worn Colt HBAR at lots of different distances and targets. Even though the Colt stock was way too long for me and the scope seemed to be mounted ridiculously high on the carry handle, I am hooked and want to purchase my first AR. There are...

I was given a considerable quantity of Federal and Breneke 12ga 2 ¾ rifled slugs. I have been using them for my 870 and I would also like to use them for my 1100. But my 1100 has a 21” fully rifled barrel. I put approximately 25 rifled slugs thru the 1100 and had less than 3” groups at 50...
