    I"ve decided to hang onto the stock, it's a modified 40X is what I am told. I am going to put a base and scope on it though.

    McMillan .308 Across-The-Course conversion

    I bought a McMillan bro's 308 rifle today, in a modified 40x stock - fully adjustable, black . Comfortable stock (I Prefer A-5 but this is nice). So I'm going to start a conversion to tactical - I see that F class has become the lay-down bench rest game and don't feel like investing thousands...

    RIP BPD 457 (Retired) Alan Hornburg

    My neighbor, my friend, and former Bremerton PD Sniper passed away last week. I stopped to see him before they pulled him from life support. If you shot in the WPFD 2017 games you met him, he always shot every year. Celebration of life is on June 3rd at Lyons Park in Bremerton. Rest in peace...

    F T/R Competition Mirage Shields

    So back in the day when I was shooting Highpower/Across-The-Course I refused to pay the $16 or whatever so I made my own. $4 invested for two of them from Wal-mart art department, they worked for many years. I'm about to do the same thing as I just picked up another match rifle. You will need a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 19 Gen 4 vs Gen 5

    Good to hear, I put 150rds through the G19 last weekend, what a hoot to shoot. I'm thinking about a G43 now, if there is a Gen5 I will take a look at that.

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    BTW I inherited a knife up in Alaska, brought it back - a 1980's or early Green River Skinner. Handle was carved like the Seahawks logo so I was about to TOSS it....then I read the Green River part. Well turns out, it was carved in the village by a Native Alaskan (Osprey not Seahawks) up north...

    1903 NRA Sporter

    Yes it is a Remington, 03A3 are mainly press stamped parts where the 03 was milled parts, but join them on the same stock and voila. What I don't understand is if they converted the ladder sight to the peep site, I refuse to do that.

    1903 NRA Sporter

    Not an NRA sporter but a passion of mine: I have a fully restored M1903 "Modified" - did not know until I ran the S/N th rough the Gov's database (Was going to do an 03A4 conversion). The "Modified" is 1 of 26,000 made. I have the original sporter stock my dad made back in 1976, 15" LOP...

    Viet Nam Model 70's

    I had a 1964 stock identical to that sitting on a brand new M70. I had a serious vet bill right after dumping a ton of money into a restoration so it went to a good friend. That is exactly what I was going to build with it. I may get it back from him soon enough, after he shoots it :D It had a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 19 Gen 4 vs Gen 5

    Well after reading more from owners of Gen 5, seems Glock went into cost-cutting mode, something about the rifling not being hexgon as well as a few other things, I'm going with Gen 4, mind is made up. I'll have it boxed up under the tree this weekend.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 19 Gen 4 vs Gen 5

    I've always hated Glocks, but after Gen 3 the reliability factor seems to be 100% now. Well my nephew is stationed in a unit that issues Glocks (1st) and bought himself a Gen 4 so I shot it, fell in LOVE with it and want one. Gen 5 comes out, heard somebad things, heard the rifling got cheap...

    That's how I feel, won't be any more for me for a VERY long time. Thank you all for the kind words, 20 replies, I feel honored to have been her caretaker. I have neglected Meowth a bit because Poohster was first but gave him petting just before bed and at the morning "Coffee and Kitties" - to...

    RIP Poohster

    It is done, she died in my arms today. In my entire life I have never felt this empty. I've always had a light at the end of the tunnel, or whatnot. I have Meowth, a Bengal-tabby mix and he's lovey dovey at night (Just don't pet him or he will attack), and despite that they never got along he...
