DIY scope covers Well, the roll of 2mm elastic cord came yesterday. I raided the shoebox grave yard of all of old, mis-matched and over-stretched scope covers, cut off the old elastic, and then mixed and matched the various end pieces with new elastic cords to fit my full size rifle scopes...

All I am looking for is inexpensive dust covers, front and rear objectives, that are cheap and generic, for long term storage. I have, in the past, used latex condoms, but find, after time, the latex deteriorates and even seems to melt and adhere to the scope. While I still use them routinely...

Does anyone know a source where I can buy scope lens covers of this type at a reasonable price? I have a couple of sets of these and have bought replacement 2 mm elastic cord. They are nice because the elastic cords can be cut to length to accommodate any scope, with or without sun...

rc: Follow up. I went down in flames on the first try. Kept removing metal from the bottom of the sight, but never reached a point the sight would fit, even with "persuasion" until my calipers tell me the sight's dovetail base is now too shallow for the barrel's dovetail. The top surface of...

900F: Hypothetical. What might you have in mind and perhaps suggest for, say . . . 20-30 long guns, 10 pistols? 50-60 long guns, 25 pistols? Potentially more (i.e. walk-in vault)?

Thanks again, all.

My Desert Eagle Mk 1, stainless, was previously scoped. the Mk 1 has a dovetail on the barrel. The scope mount that was installed required that the original sight be removed. I have the replacement sight from Magnum Research, and read somewhere that the DE, like most front sights, should be...

Thanks X, T.

A friend has a Liberty Franklin 35 gun safe he wants to sell. Going to see it this weekend. On the plus side, it's in storage near my vacation home and would be delivered & installed free. I would like to help the fellow out, if I can, if the safe suits my needs. It has been many, many...

RainDodger: No. The plug I refer to has a fixed aperture size calibrated for each rifle caliber. It covers the front of the piston tube and bleeds off gas (into the foreshock, interestingly) to control the force of the operating rods. the old one was functioning properly, but, to disassemble...

Thank you. That information reinforces my intention to use and enjoy these like any other nice firearm. There real value will be that they will eventually be passed down, in excellent condition, to my kids, who I hope will also take good care of them and do the same.

Please help me with a fair valuation for a complete set of Duck's Unlimited Sponsor's Shotguns in 12, 20, 28, and 410 ga. Searching the internet, I find that there are individual ads and sales, many misrepresenting the same firearms as EELL series or not accurately describing the shotguns...

Does anyone have a source for a current supplier of a reproduction, replacement wood stock for a Valmet M76. Thanks.

Spring cleaning the collection and decided it was time for new bore mops for the shotguns. My assortment of bore mops and brushes included some absolutely black, nasty-looking mops that had found there way to the bottom of the tackle box where I store such items, some there I would bet for many...

Did you happen to shoot over a chronometer? RC is correct about the harmonics/buggy whip and it follows that consistency of velocity is required to get the same POI. How else could might accurate rounds, at approximately the same velocities have such a different POI? The tennis ball toss is a...

+1 on the short reset trigger with the SA/DA upgrade.

CZ 527 Varmint, 223, 1/9" twist, laminate (or bedded kevlar) stock. On a good day, holds under 1 inch at 200 yards with 69 gr Sierra HPBT Match over 25.3 Varget. Single set trigger, if that makes a difference. For a bolt action 223, factory, accurate out of the box, hard to beat. Mine is...

RC: Correct indeed. I will give the brass case "guide" a try. Ordered up some high-temperature, copper-based, anti-seize thread compound from Midway. Supposed to be good to 2000 Fº. Thought I'd give it a try. Any experience with that?

Chapman has worked well for me. Same set in service since 1985 with no problems.

Cant go wrong with 100 pieces of Lapua brass for most any centerfire rifle reloads. Once you do, it's hard to go back to others.
