    Sidearms & Scatterguns 10mm 1911 thoughts & opinions

    I have one in Commander length. It's good for the price, but it's not a Kimber. I had to replace the mag catch immediately as it was out of spec and dropping mags on the first shot. A little polishing of the ramp and it fed fine. I did do my standard mods for the 10mm - heavier mainspring...

    Lies we tell our kids.....

    When my daughter was in the monsters-in-the-closet phase I could not convince her it wasn't so. Night after night. Took the dog in there and left him check it out, tried everything. Five minutes later she's back down the stairs scared of the monsters. So finally I told her "Look, you want to...

    Just another Active school shooter

    What frustrates me most about these mass shootings is that the solution is actually quite simple: 1) Make it illegal, with stiff penalties, for the media to publish the name or image of a mass shooter. Take away the fame and notoriety. Make them as unknown and insignificant as they were in...

    Budget Savage pattern barrels?

    Muzzle threads weren't in the original question. Once again, more customization, expect more expense. Muzzle threads are pretty much standard on off-the-shelf AR barrels. They are a relatively rare request on a Savage prefit. If you are after economy, there are a LOT of takeoff factory...

    Favorite AR trigger

    For a precision rifle, I really like the Geissele 2-stage I have. For standard AR use the brand is overkill and I like to use the Rock Island Match trigger. I have 3 of those.

    Budget Savage pattern barrels?

    EABCO sells them for $260. Looks around there are a couple others in that range. But yes, demand is quite different. ~95% of all ARs are 223, fewer barrel lengths and twists in wide use. Savage prefits people generally want a greater variety of chambers, twists, calibers, contours, and...

    Headspacing a new bolt in AR15???

    You're probably going to assemble more than one 223 in your life and a GO gauge is $25-30. You can make it a NO-GO by applying 2 layers of scotch tape to the rear. An explosion is going off inches from your face. Is your face worth $30? I know lots of people who don't check and have no...

    Who makes good 'match grade' AR barrels?

    This is going to sting, but I also own about 30 rifles. And I don't own a single one that shoots OVER 1MOA. Unless you are owning a bunch of really crappy factory rifles or rifles which you don't handload for, you are the issue. Heck, even factory rifles with factory ammo, bolt guns I've...

    700 long action build question

    Yeah the issue is all about headspace and nothing to do with action length.

    Parkland Student Experiences 2A, 3rd Degree Horseshit Grilling by School Po-po Thereafter

    Bullshit. They were over the line, and those like you who refuse to acknowledge this and defend them only feed the perception that law enforcement will protect their own at all costs, and therefore none can be trusted. You are your own worst enemy, the kind that make it hard to teach my kids...

    Want to see Obama's Legacy? Here it is.

    I can't believe this thread got so far without the media coming up. Where do you think all of these crazies get their ideas and see their fellow crazies achieving immortality by having their "acheivements" immortalized by the media? If we really care about senseless deaths, and want the spit...

    Range Report Long range muzzle loader must be Black powder

    Do you base this off of keyboard commando experience, or REAL experience? I ask because I have extensive, real live experience. I have a smokeless barrel with over a thousand rounds of SMOKELESS, SABOTED rounds through it. Accuracy was sub-MOA with duplex AA5744/H322 loads and Shockwave 200gr...

    Converting a 7mm Mag. to ?

    Define "long range" but "long range" and 3000 round barrel life don't typically go together. You get one or the other. The rifles I have which I consider long range are 243AI, 300WM, and 338 Edge hunting rifles, and a 284Win F-class rifle. I don't pretend any of them will see 2000 on a barrel...

    300 RSAUM vs 300 WSM

    Despite the names, it's simple a fact that the RSAUM is a true short action round and the WSM makes a compromise to fit in one. What happens to the WSM case capacity advantage when you seat a 180gr bullet .1" deeper into the case to fit in the short action? Yes you can put a WSM in a short...

    Indianapolis, the next city under attack.

    This needs to happen at the state level which, thankfully, doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. We just got Sunday alcohol sales here a month ago.... Like everywhere else the problem here is the citiots who know nothing about guns and have no experience outside the inner city Indy...

    Need recommendation for very low recoil, very accurate bolt action rifle build cartridge choice to shoot 300 yards paper target

    It's mostly been covered but I'd throw the 20 Practical into the mix. Even less recoil than a 223, but you'll need an aftermarket barrel. 40gr bullets are dirt cheap.
