    Who is doing AR maint before the elections?

    During the summer of mostly peaceful protests a friend of mine was zeroing a bunch of scoped AR uppers. His attitude was that he can hand or mail a known accurate upper to an unprepared person and they can then engage targets at 600m. Though where we live in New England your line of site is...

    Looking for chassis or stock Left Hand 457

    Yes, I didn't really care. I am still trying to figure out if I like my Bergara or my CZ better. I've got a MDT I've been using the CZ in its wood stock as an offhand gun,. One thing about the PDC is that it is pretty butt heavy. I experimented with some of my weights and none of them...

    Looking for chassis or stock Left Hand 457

    Well, I got my PDC Custom chassis yesterday in Blood Red. (A bit darker than Ferrari Red ) and so far I'm impressed. It took about 5 mon ths. The CZ action sits nice and snug. The screws tighten down hard with no flex. So far it's torqued down at 20 ft-lbs. We'll see how that works. I...

    .223 - 5.56

    Thank you. I guess its all about knowing that all the brass in a batch is as consistent as possible. I've got several hundred pieces of Federal Gold Medal Match brass, easy to identify because of the sealant on the base of the primer. It may not be the longest lasting brass. But if it's...

    .223 - 5.56

    I was asking about setting up a dedicated .223 brass prep press on another forum. A guy mentioned that he had used this company for bulk processing. This isn't necessarily for precision rifle brass. But for loading volumes of AR brass, at $129 for 2500, it's really not worth doing it...

    .223 - 5.56

    I've been sorting brass by head stamp. I've always had good luck with Lake City brass with the same head stamp. I fulll length resize, trim to length, then weigh them. Since the resizing and trimming defines the outside dimensions, the variance in weight is caused by difference in wall...

    Another caliber selection post

    HA HA . YES. . But then again, we all know someone who has said that. Though I do know someone who grew up dirt poor farming. They did hunt deer, all year, to put meat on the table. The deer were always taken on their land. Often right out of a window from the house. Ha.

    Another caliber selection post

    We joke about it. And while I'm definitely not saving money now. As a college kid, I definitely saved a lot of cash. . . well kind of. I saved on a per round/box cost. But I shot more. I had a budget and reloading allowed me to shoot more for the same money. Back in the late 80s, a box...

    Has your employment of a red dot made you more accurate?

    As long as you stick with good quality batteries and tier 1 American made sights (other than EOTech) batteries become an afterthought. I have an aimpoint Micro T1 that I've owned for 10+ years. It's on its second CR2032 battery. I only replaced the first because it had been in the sight for...

    Another caliber selection post

    This is key. I started reloading in college with a Lee turret clamped to a Black and Decker workmate. I originally did it because I was a poor college kid and wanted to be able to shoot more. (I didn't want to spend less. I wanted to spend the same but shoot more) I quickly realized that...

    Has your employment of a red dot made you more accurate?

    My fundamentals are good. I hate to use the term point shooting because it brings out the haters. I"ve taken several days of instinctive/reflexive shooting classes with people who are considered to be students of the great Bob Taubert. It's not an either or situation. At arms length there...

    Has your employment of a red dot made you more accurate?

    I am a fairly skilled practical pistol shooter. At one point I was classified Expert in IDPA in SSP. So while I'm no Dave Sevigney, I'm reasonably skilled. I have been practicing with a red dot sight on a duplicate of my iron sighted carry gun for just over 2 years. In that time I've taken...
