So.... My AWESOME wife got me a P320 X-Carry! I know, I know, I'm a VERY lucky man. :) Well, being the trigger snob that I am, I'm always curious if a factory trigger can be improved on. Well, I sprung for the Apex kit, and yeah, it does a great job taking out take-up, but just like...

Hello all, I've participated in several threads over the past couple years, discussing and opining on single action and striker action auto-loader pistols. I suspect I'll be displaying my ignorance here, but I'm here to lean as well, so I'll try to ask this respectfully. The question that...

I am considering doing some shaping of the 'backstrap' area of a Glock 20. it's a Gen 4, and I want to do some dremel work, and then stipple some places. I'm pretty sure I'd like to fill the void area aft of the mag well on the underside of the grip. The reason I think I'd like to do...

Hi All, Generally accepting that the length of a barrel will have a significant affect on the energy of the bullet, (longer bbl= higher energy)... If someone puts a port in a barrel (say to reduce muzzle rise from recoil) how much energy will be lost? To clarify my question here is a...

Hi, I'm sorta a newbie to the Glock world. Had a couple G33s before, but just couldn't like them as much as I tried. Anyway, long story short, I decided to re-consider the bidding process for my EDC gun, and a VERY long process later, the G4 G19 won out. And..... as luck would have it, my...

While I thought about putting this in the 'general' section, I decided to start this in the 'autoloader' sub-forum. I did this because I'm specifically asking for info/experience/opinions/ideas about the cartridges that would be best for carrying an AUTOLOADING handgun while out in the woods...

Considering choosing a new platform for concealed carry Hi all, I’m re-evaluating my CC piece. I actually had a much longer note typed up, with a full back-story, but decided to shave it down… I’ve been carrying a 1911 as my ‘somewhat concealed’ carry for 20 yrs. now.. and I’ve decided...

Hi all, I want opinions, and I know this is a great place to get them! :) I recently purchased a .308 lower, made by MEGA machine. At the time, I also purchased one upper from MEGA as well. I have my reasons for why I chose that brand. Now, the fun and creative part begins. I'd like...

Hi Folks, Well, I am looking for some direction/info here, and I tried a few different searches to see if the info was already posted. While it’s possible it’s already here, the searches I tried didn’t show me the information I am looking for. First of all, I am under the impression that I...

So I bought and built my M1A, (thanks for the tips, H2OMAN), and I'm super happy with it. But, now it's time to start to think about the 'next' gun.... I think I would like to build an AR-type in .308. While thumbing through the brownells catalog in the 'library', I have noticed that you...

Hi folks, I decided to open another thread to dedicate to this topic. I recently made a purchase of two Leupold VX II scopes to mount on two Savage Rifles, one in .308, and on in 300 WM. here is my thread that talks about that...

Well, I finally did it, and ordered my pair of Savage Rifles. I sold my other gun, and had a few more clams stashed to make the purchase. a .308 and a 300 WinMag. Now, I need to put some optics on them. My initial plan was to go with Leupold VX-II scopes, with the LR duplex...

I will be putting two scopes on two rifles. The two rifles are: Savage .308, and Savage 300 Win Mag. Other than the chamberings, the rifles have identical features. This was by design. I would like to put an optic on each rifle. Cost matters, but I also understand that the lower the...

Hi. I looked through this section, and I didn't see much on the CAS concept, but because they are competitions, I assume this is the proper place for this post? Over the past few months, some curiosity developed into some interest in the CAS realm. I'm 35, I have never competitively shot...

I'm putting together a plan to purchase a rifle. I have my configuration planned, and even placed the request with Savage to 'store' my request. .300 Win Mag, 26" bbl, all stainless. My next step is to research the scope I plan to put on it. I've read a recent article from guns and ammo...

I have an old 8mm x57 Mauser. It's a 98, with peep sights that I like, and a Timney trigger. There is a grind mark across the top of the action, I was told it was where the Nazi proof mark was ground off. (if this is unlikely, and you have other information, please let me know) This would make...

My search for threads about this gun came up empty, so I wanted to start one: I finally got to 'seeing' one at a semi-local store. Wow! I have no idea how it shoots, but I have to say, I'm very interested in this gun. In my life, it has absolutly zero practicality, but I don't need...

I was going to put this in a different thread, but decided it would likely be better to begin a seperate one instead. In the following calibers, what barrel lengths offer the most bullet energy at distance for the greatest varitey of loads and bullet weights? .308 .300 Win Mag...

I'm putting myself in the market to purchase two bolt rifles: 1) .308 Win 2) .300 Win Mag I've given this a lot of thought, and even gone to the trouble to build an excel spreadsheet showing ballistic info for the various cartridges. That hurt my brain.:banghead: Some of the larger...
