    SWFA zero stops

    That’s me. [email protected]. the eBay listing is me, or you can buy directly from me. eBay sucks.

    Rangefinder - Leica or Sig?

    I sold my Leica binos to buy a Sig Kilo 3000. I couldn't tolerate the spotty ranging and the short warranty (at the time, might be better now).

    Which Firearm Did You Buy And Couldn't Wait To Get Rid Of?

    Bushmaster AR with the plastic upper. Took it as payment for a debt owned. It was crazy light. It was also the least accurate rifle I've ever seen. Groups at 100 hovered in the paper plate range. I held if for years and finally dumped it in the last covid panic. Every time I looked at it...

    Vudoo V22 360 Trigger Install Questions

    Got mine a few weeks ago and had the same experience. Very tight. With patience, I got them in. I measured the pins because I was suspecting taper as well and could not detect any.

    The weirdest rifle I have ever owned.

    I have two. One was my very first .22 trainer when that was first becoming a "thing" and another I bought for my kids. Both shoot astoundingly well considering I paid $220 for them. The one I have set up for my kids shoots CCI standard velocity into 1/2" at 50, better than my Vudoo or my...

    Why use 556 when Valkyrie is available ?

    I built a Valk specifically for some of the team matches I shoot. Running 88 eldms, my wind calls are virtually identical to my teammate running one of the 6mm's. I'd have to go back and look, but if I recall correctly, the wind on the Valk is basically HALF that of my .223's running 77SMK's...

    223 Trainer OR 308 // Rifle Selection

    I'm just kicking this around myself. I have a rack of .22's already, so I won't wade into that discussion. The only thing I have to add is a thought about recoil management. I started out many years ago with a .308 and learned recoil management with it. Like so many others, over time I went...

    Rifle Scopes I’m considering a Minox ZP5 5-25

    I have one as well as ATACR's in 5-25 and 7-35, a Schmidt PM2, USO and several Steiners. I quite like the Minox. I'm not super skilled at evaluating glass, but to my unsophisticated eye the Minox is the best of the lot. I've never quite understood all the strong opinions about turret feel...

    Electro Magnetic Rifle

    75 ft-lbs of energy. 200 FPS. Pretty anemic, but it’s cool to see them working on it.

    Rifle weight

    My match guns have always been in the 19# range. I thought I was happy with that till I shot a team match and had to shoot my partner's rifle. Not sure how much it weighs, but it was a lot heavier. Actually, I whiffed on it when I went to grab it the first time on the clock. The weight...

    Does the AR upper receiver matter?

    You can ask your barrel guy to fit a +0.001" barrel extension. It'll require heating the upper to get it together, but it eliminates all slop. I've done it a couple of times to duplicate JP's thermal fit, and it works perfectly.

    Anybody know what this is?

    Pretty sure it's mold release.

    Anyone have the Eberlestock G2 GUNSLINGER II

    Had one and sold it. It would be fine for toting a rifle and gear around for a few miles, but mine lacked structure and turned into a floppy mess over about 45#.

    Help with 224 Valkyrie AR accuracy issues

    I feel your pain. I built one with almost exactly the same barrel (mine is a 24") from Craddock. My problems were different from yours, but just as frustrating. I've resigned myself to shooting this barrel out in local matches and then switching to 6 ARC. If the suggestions above don't fix...

    224 Valkyrie gas port errosion

    My Valk looks a lot like that with 1,000 on it. It looked that after 300, though. I don't think you're going to be able to estimate round count with port erosion.

    Mid weight 6.5 bullets Lapua 120,123 136 or Berger?

    The 130 Scenars have been excellent for me. I don't shoot my .260 much anymore, but it really performs when I do break it out of the back of the safe.

    Gas blow back with TBAC Ultra 7 or 9 on a precision semi-auto?

    I must be the only one. I run an Ultra 5 on a couple .223's and a Valk. All run AGB's. The 14.5" .223 gasses me out pretty darn good.

    550 vs 750 accuracy loading

    I load all precision ammo on a 550. It's a beautiful thing. I trim dirty brass, clean it, anneal it, then straight to the 550. One trip through the press. Once I get to the press, I'm loading two rounds a minute. I also have a 750 and a 1050, and I wouldn't consider loading precision ammo...

    Buffer Weights?

    Increasing buffer or carrier weight have roughly the same effect. Increasing buffer weight might be slightly better for reliability because that mass actually bounces once when it drives the carrier home adding some hammer effect to bang it closed. I'm running a JP adjustable mass BCG in a...
