Thinking of sending a Garand to Eric for a work over. Anyone have experience with him? Were you pleased with the end result? Would you do it again? Rifle needs a new barrel so I am looking at the 2K plus new barrel fee. Just trying to figure out if it is worth the price or if I should...

I know there is a difference between "mil-spec" and commercial extensions for collapsible stocks. Is there a similar difference for A2 stocks?

Is this type of wear normal on M1As?

I bought a sealed can of Igman 62gr steel core loaded on stripper clips in 100rnd bandoleers. The stripper clips (along with the mag feeder tool) worked great. I never used stipper clips to prep a mag before but I dont think I will ever go back to the one at a time method. I was using...

Still learning about revolvers. I have a nice and clean stainless 686 but don't know where to lube it. What are the key places that need lube? Do revolvers get oil or grease?

Any difference/preference between the two? Will be used in a 1:9 rifle with iron sights. Prices are pretty much the same. I am looking at ammoman.com. The only difference I can tell is that the Lithuanian come packaged in ammo cans.

I would like to get a set of binoculars with a mildot reticle. So far the only ones I have been able to find are the Leopold Mark 4 10X50 Does anyone know of other options.

I had my AR out the other night for some dry fire and noticed that the barrel felt loose. I could hold the upper receiver with one hand, the front sight base with the other hand, and wiggle.... I took off the hand guards and found the barrel nut to be loose. The rifle came from Stag...

If you were going to load two different projectiles for a caliber, is a micrometer seater die worth buying?

Since it looks like Magpul is coming out with AR-10 type mags I think I am going to take the AR-10 plunge. I am leaning towards a 20" POF. Any comments on this company/rifle?

I wanted to give my M1A a good bath. I am having trouble getting the gas cylinder off. It did not come off with a gentle tap and I dont want to bend anything. Any tips? I am stuck on figure 50 http://www.surplusrifle.com/m14m1a/rifledisassembly/index.asp

I was shooting some Venezuelan surplus .308 today. When I got home and starting looking at my brass I noticed that ~90% had pretty flat primers. Is it unusual for ammo from the same box/pack to look different after firing? Would you say this ammo is still safe to use?

I thought I would share a few pictures of my Shrike. First impressions: Well balanced, compact, and light . The shoulder strap is comfortable and holds the hawk in an easy to access location (like a maxpedition pack). Quality is very good. It will make a nice addition to my ready pack...

The lost knife was a well used Benchmade Osborne 923SBK. I can either get another 923 or try something new. I may even consider a fixed blade. Blade must be less than 5.5" and be at least partially serrated. This will be a daily carry knife so a fixed blade would require a slim sheath...

This probably has been done before but another one can’t hurt. I like to see pictures of different cartridges next to each other so I have been trying to collect a variety. Here is what I have so far (unfortunately only a few are mine). I think these are some of the more common cartridges and...
