    I took my rifle apart last night so I can separate the action and barrel. plan is to chop it a few inches and recrown it. so looking at it, I got to wondering, can you take the trigger assembly, and the magazine body off the action and turn it the entire barreled action?

    need help with case length for multiple rifles

    If I use the 'chamber a case' method to size the casing for my Savage, how do I measure for my HK91? I'd prefer to use the same case dimension for both rifles, just for simplicity sake. Any help is appreciated.

    Fieldcraft when a bullet goes through the armor

    Re: when a bullet goes through the armor I heard that the Germans hate the current/last generation flak jackets because they actually cause rifle bullets to tumble while through the vests before penetrating the body. Anyone hear of this? Could be just an Internet rumor though.
