    Tactical Adventure Races - Lets Talk Packs

    No problem. I skipped a bunch of posts and didn't notice you had an old machine. Is it metal? I just bought an old 1950's Pfaff 130 sewing machine for $25 on CL. Supposed to be the cat's ass for sewing thicker stuff like Cordura. I have a bunch of recommended needle sizes and thread sizes to...

    Gunsmithing What to use to fill in gap on stock?

    I agree. Marine Tex or Devcon would be ideal. JB weld would work as well. Just use a release agent on the DBM and seat it in there when when you apply the epoxy to get a nice, tight fit. I've also used the hobby epoxy/baking soda mix on smaller imperfections but for overall sanding and milling...

    Range Report Rem 700 AICS .223 rem OCW Range Report NEED OPINION

    Sorry it took so long to chime in. Looks pretty good. Next time I would do at 200 or 300 if you have access to the distance. rduckwor is spot on Varget: 6-8 has same POI but 8 and 9 almost look similar too but yet different enough at 100 yards to show a valid change in POI. I would work from...

    Gunsmithing JB Weld ok bedding for a Rimfire?

    +1 for Devcon. Always keep some on hand I find many other uses for it. JB is good too but after being spoiled with Devcon I wouldn't want to use JB just because how nice Devon is to work with. Plus I find it harder to mix JB weld equally than Devcon because I weigh the Devcon on a digital so I...

    primers falling out

    Was at a match this past weekend. Guy shooting next to me was firing a mix of brass and having major problems with blown primers. It happened 3 times, all Federal.

    Mason Dixon Sniper Series Match #4 Registration

    I'm in! Can't wait to get down to MD for my first time. Missed the last one because of ASC. I wish it was July 21 already.

    Had a great time as usual. Thanks to Freddy, Josh and everyone that helped out. Liked the COF, especially the math (I might be the only one). It got my brain working early on today. Looking forward to the next one.

    How to get a FFL?

    I'm interested in the same myself. Want to do it part time and do gunsmithing because I enjoy it. I already have people asking me to do stuff so I figured I should probably get licensed. From what I understand you need to make sure you have the proper zoning from your local governments first...

    Rifle Scopes Have $2.1k for glass. Down to two choices. Need advice.

    Good grab. I have had a Razor, own an XRS, and want a Steiner now. Just wanted to add I agree with what scudzuki said although I believe the Razor glass and the XRS are almost equal. For matches you need 22x plus for the stages that require target ID shit. I also want to add one thing about...

    Rifle Scopes Is the Chromatic Abberation issue still a problem on newer ERS and XRS Bushnell scopes?

    I have had a 4.5-30 xrs for about a month. It had it but it was minimal. After using it for a while I got used to it but its definitely there. I may have had a bad one though as mine is being sent back for unrelated issues. A lot of it depended on lighting and other stuff. Its only on white...

    Advanced Marksmanship Buttstock squeeze bag materials

    What's the lightweight fill in some of these bags now? I have seen some at matches that are huge but weigh nothing. Anybody have any ideas?

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5-30 Knobs

    Actually found this thread: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/156051-need-help-finding-thread-aligning-hdmr-marks.html Its about the HDMR but similar I suppose. I did tighten the top nut with the nickel really well and that seemd to snug things up a little. Now i...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5-30 Knobs

    Anyone else have a problem with their XRS and the knobs kind of floating around between 0 and 0.05 mils for every setting? They aren't tight when I push the knob down. They line up if I hold the knob in a clockwise directions but if I put any amount of pressure the other way it seems to turn in...

    Triad Stock Pack

    I went inside but my rifle is a blind mag (soon to be DBM) so it really didn't make any sense. I use the Red Tac Gear ammo cards velcro on the side of my stock. I lose rounds all the time in matches running around. I like it the way it is but I always forget they are in there. I can only load 5...

    Another letter from Midway...

    I ordered some Tac around the same time. Two 8 pound jugs. Got them well over a month ago. They were listed as in stock when I ordered them. Took almost 10 weeks but I got them. I can't wait till this crap blows over.

    Rifle Scopes IOR or ATACR?

    I have run IOR 3-18's and a 6-24. The 3-18 is a solid scope if you don't need more magnification. Unfortunately I do. Haven't looked thru an ATACR yet but I recently purchased a Bushenll 4.5-30 XRS. Just got it today. First impressions are good. Glass is comparable with the IOR but I think the...

    Dies for 6.5 Creed, and COAL adjustments.

    Was just reading this thread and thought it might help others. I ordered the Hornady Match bushing dies. When I did I ordered the wrong bushing so I ordered the Whidden FL die thinking it was a regular die but it was a bushing too. I then had to get some bushings expressed to me because I had a...
