So bad news first. I may or may not be leaving my current career. If I have to, I am thinking about perusing a law enforcement career. I currently live in Tuscaloosa, AL. If needed, or the right opportunity presented itself I would not be opposed to the idea of moving out west. From hat I can...

DBM vs. Hinged floorplate Hello, So in the next year or two I am most likely going to be building a bolt action "utility rifle" that would be used for hunting, target shooting (no PRS games though, I'll get a dedicated PRS rifle if I purser that), and as a "one rifle" concept. I've got a...

I was in a local gun store looking at Glock 17 gen 4s and some 1911s. Both are really nice handguns that I'd be happy with (already own a G26gen4). Still deciding though this is not a comparison thread. Anyways, while manipulating three different full size Kimber models (custom shop, custom...

Hello, I know H&R has recently went out of buisness and I can no longer purchase a new .308 barrel for my Handi-Rifle. Thought about taking mine and putting a .308 barrel on there for a short truck rifle. Anywhere I might can find a used .308 barrel? Bull, sporter, not a big deal, just...

Hello, I am currently using a Lee Quick Trim with cartidge specific dies in conjunction with a Lee deburr/chamfer tool. While this works, it is not particuarly fast or consistent. For .223/5.56, my brass is anywhere from 1.750 - 1.762, with most being about 1.757. The book says 1.760 as the...

Hello all. So today I was finally able to sight in my new FN SPR A1 rifle. I ordered this tifle from tacticalcoordination.com and they had it to me in about seven weeks. TACCORD throws in a free bedding job and since I am a member of snipershide.com, they cut members a nice discount. The...

I have read few if any reviews of the Bushnell 3-12x44mm LRHS with the G2H reticle. I came across it while browsing on SWFA's site and the reticle caught my eye. SWFA has it for ~$1200 while Optics Planet lists at ~$1000. Besides the reticle (mainly for the circle part), is this scope...

Hello, I need some help. I am looking to hunt on public land for the first time this year and am desparate for some help. I have hunted on private land for my whole life but have not hunted in the past two years. Meaning, I am very new to this and am unsure of an action plan. The little...

Hello, I have sold my .308 rifles and have a decent amount of .308 left over and I am building a 30-06 rifle. Can I pull the powder and bullet from my FACTORY loaded .308 ones and use the same bullet and power in accordance to the specific factory load (Remington powder with Remington Core-Lock...

Hi, I just applied for my permit here in Alabama and am currently waiting for it (<30 day wait). All I have to carry right now is a 64-3, I plan on purchasing a .357 magnum (686/686+) or a .45acp (1911/polymer wonder) when I turn 21 this October. For the time until then, I need suggestions...

Hey ya'll quick question. How much difference in contour is a GI 03A3 barrel and a Light Palma contour. Also, what does the GI contour most closely resemble and what does the barrel weigh I ask because I want something that will not heat up as fast but still be able to be medium weight. I am...

Alright, I'm about to buy one of the stripped '03A3 receivers from AIMsurplus and just need a comprehensive list of parts that I will need to complete the action. I am buying a Timney trigger though, so I do not need the trigger parts. Also, which trigger should I buy from them? And I do not...

Hi, went in a pwn shop today and was looking for an 03' rifle that was sporterize to be built into a custom rifle. I found one for $370, but I talked him down to $260. Thinking about buying it tomorrow. It is an Springfield Armory rifle serial number 429xxx that has been drilled for scope...

Hi ya'll, I am wishing to start reloading. I will be only loading the 30-06 cartridge. I have looked at several starter kits, primarily the Lee single stage kit. However, I have recently discovered their "Lee Loader". It is basically a travel size reloading kit for one cartridge, with...

Hello to all, after much research and reading, mainly from here, and most importantly, my own experiences, I have come to the conclusion that I want just one good, solid, bolt-action rifle that follows the scout rifle philosophy. That said, I am not trying to duplicate Cooper's ideas, only learn...

After way too long, I finally have purchased my "fantasy" shotgun, a Mossberg 590A1 SPX with the Ontario M9 Bayonet. Saw it on GunsAmerica.com for $599 with bayonet and bought it shortly thereafter. I was very pleased with the flawless transaction from "Bigdaddyguns" out off Gainsville, Florida...

Hey ya'll, quick question, can I use M1A stripper clips to function in a 1903A3 rifle? I know I can buy 03 specific clips, but their a bit more expensive that M1A clips, which also seem much more plentiful. Thanks, P.B.Walsh

First time out today trying to shoot my Savage for accuracy. In the past, I have just plinked with it at clays, shotgun hulls, dirt rocks, etc. So today I went out shooting actual bullseye targets. After about 150 rounds of trying to figure out where I was hitting, I put up an official 50 yard...

Hi ya'll, for some reason, my BSN will not feed a second round in the magazine due to a peice of metal on the trigger group that blocks the rim, therefore not chambering the shell. On top of that, does anyone know how to put the trigger disconnect back in place, it came out once I knocked...

Hey ya'll, I just purchased one of these rifles and it did not have a bayonet lug on it, does anyone know where I can purchase one? I also need the accompaining bayonet if anyone knows where to find one. Thanks in advance, P.B.Walsh
