I'm looking for an online source of elastic belly band material, pretty much has to be 6" in width, and sturdy. None of the available belly band type rigs offer what I need, so I'll have to make my own (if I can get my sewing machine running :banghead: ) Large sheets of Velcro would also be...

Are they based on the Benelli action? Just curious.

I recently took my 20" M500 out of retirement, and took it to the indoor range to see what my ammo would do. All I had were several boxes of Federal Premium 9 pellet 00 from some years ago. Extreme maximum distance in my house is 9 yards, I patterned at 10. With IC choke, the patterns were...

Years ago I had a smith cut my home defense Mossberg for choke tubes, which left only a few threads to retain the original bead sight. It didn't last long. I plan to drill and tap a new hole behind the choke tube and install a simple replacement sight. Put the hole in the right place, trim the...

My Bushmaster carbine has a lousy trigger, with severe creep. I can feel the trigger slip substantially before the hammer falls, which ruins any deliberate trigger pull for a precise shot. The wear on the trigger surface indicates about 0.075" of sear engagement. That seems like a lot, but I...

What is the purpose of the narrowed hourglass-shaped portion of the bolt between the gas rings and the bolt cam pin hole? :confused:

Disclaimer: I'm laid up with a broken ankle, so I have a lot of time think about stuff like this for the next six weeks. :rolleyes: The hammer pin in my Bushy rotates in the frame as the hammer is cocked and released. It has about 1500 rounds through it. My understanding is that this is...

I've been looking at tac vests lately, and I see a common configuration (e.g. Blackhawk and clones) that holds three rifle mags, a crossdraw holster, and four pistol mags. It seems to me that if your going to go to the trouble to strap on a tac vest and venture forth, you'd give up space for...

Is there a hazard in using one bolt/carrier/ch between different uppers? My Bushy has about 1500 rds through it, and I plan on using the bolt group with an as-new Colt upper. I recall reading about potential issues with such a swap, but can't remember the details, or find the references...

I just impulse ordered an SP1 upper from CDNN. All the Vietnam movies on TV for Veterans Day got to me. :uhoh: The CDNN upper comes with an SP1 buttstock assembly. This is the A1 (shorter) length stock, correct?

Finally got a .22. I ordered a Buckmark Standard, and it's just swell. :D I took it out of the box, wiped some of the oil off the breechface, and started shooting. 50 rounds of Blazer, then about 500 rounds mixed of Remington Golden Pack and Winchester Xpert22 (Walmart specials). The first...

I was adding Ohio to my little map of places I can carry, and found conflicting info on NC/WA reciprocity. Wahington state says permits are recognised both ways: http://www.atg.wa.gov/firearms/states.shtml The NC and WA pages on packing.org both show each state as reciprocating in the...

I saw a couple cheap O/Us this week (Fausti). The edges of the stocks weren't flush where they met the edges of the receiver (or whatever that part is called on a double...?) The stocks looked to be about a milimeter oversized, all the way around. It didn't look haphazard, either, it looked to...

Is the whole gun scaled down to 20ga size, or is it basically a 12ga 1100 stuffed with 20ga parts? Is the short stock on the Youth model just a regular stock minus an inch, or are the dimensions of the grip area also reduced? TIA PS- are wood stocks available for the Youth model? I...

For those who have red dots on AKs, how about posting pics of your set-up, type of scope and mount, and your likes and dislikes. I'm going to scope my SAR1 and I want to see what's out there. Right now a siderail mount looks like the best bet, but what I've seen are awfully high over the...

I see 231 mentioned as appropriate for light to moderate loads in .44 magnum. Is a max charge of 231 considered a "moderate power" .44 mag load? I'm shooting an M29-8 Mountain Gun, and everyone says stick with moderate loads. If a max or near max charge proves safe and I decide I want to use...

I bought a used 29-8 Mountain Gun yesterday. There's a gap between the frame and the lower part of the barrel lug, which gets narrower closer to the barrel and closes at the top of the cut out for the ejector rod. No gaps around the barrel area. The gap is about .008 at the widest part (the very...

I'm really tired, so bear with me. I've been loading West Coast 230 gr RN in mixed brass, OAL 1.254, crimped to .471, using an RCBS carbide die set, seat/crimp simultaneously. No significant setback when repeatedly chambered from slide lock in my Kimber. Loaded and shot about 1500 rounds...

I want to put a piece of heat shrink tubing on the trigger of my AK. Where to buy, and what to heat with? Thanks.

While I was at the range yesterday I noticed some brass on the ground that didn't look right. It was PMP .223 brass, and on every one the extractor rim was nearly sheared off by the extractor. Many cases had that portion of the rim completely missing. They were all in the same general area, away...
