    Magpul PRS - WTF?

    I'm not good at pictures. Here is the stock and scope. As you can see, the scope is about 2 inches back of the charging handle. Can't go any further forward... <a href="http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/derekeparker/media/photo2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

    Magpul PRS - WTF?

    1. Changed the tube, spring and buffer. Put an A-2 stock on. Shot FINE (way less than 1").. Shooting off bench, need more stock length to get long nose off of charging handle. 2. Took A-2 off, put PRS on; went to crap....? Still need more length for eye relief on scope (Swaro 3X18). Have...

    Magpul PRS - WTF?

    Tube is mil-spec; came from Bravo company. It is tight, hence the oil... Maybe too much torque on the screw?

    Magpul PRS - WTF?

    I recently got a Rock River Predator Pursuit that had been pimped a little and which sported a Magpul CTR. Needing more eye relief, since not much is furnished by the 6-inch rail on top of the receiver, I put on a rifle tube, spring, buffer and an old A-2 stock I had in a drawer. Rifle was...

    receipe for homemade case lube

    I had the formula for spray lube saved on the site before the recent upgrade and don't remember the exact proportions. I have lanolin, caster oil and denatured alcohol (as well as several types of non-denatured alcohol). As well as I can remember it was 80% lanolin, and 10% each of caster...

    Chargemaster 1500 .01th light

    Varget is a bitch to deal with in my chargemaster at any rate. It will throw 4 or 5 good ones then 3 or 4 over. Good powder, but that's the price you pay. Has the OP tried other powders with the same result?

    question on AR/Varget load?

    I loaded up some 60 gr. Sierra varmint bullets with the 23.8 gr. load. First group was .4 inch. Rifle likes the 60-gr. bullets... Have to find some vmax. Those little .22 flat-base bullets are a pain to load. I'll save the 69 gr. SMK for predators or hogs. Thanks all.

    question on AR/Varget load?

    I found a guy on ARFCom touting a 25.6 gr. Varget load for a 69 gr. SMK claimed to be .35 in his RR Predator Pursuit, one of which I have. This is not over the max load for a .223 bolt gun, but has anyone shot this in an AR? I've loaded up 10, but wanted to ask before touching them off. Thanks...

    Hunting & Fishing Limbsaver customer service

    Thought I'd post this here since most snipers don't use Limbsaver recoil pads. The pad on my Encore started getting sticky and appeared to be going south. I emailed Marci, the customer service manager at Limbsaver (Sims Laboratory), explained the situation and she replied that they had a batch...

    New ar 10 keyholing

    Eliminate one thing at a time. If it has a brake or flash suppressor or whatever, take it off and shoot a few and see if you have any changes. As above, you didn't give much info. Is it keyholing every shot or just occasionally? I know it is frustrating, but you can sort it out. Good luck...

    Rifle Scopes Cleaning scope lense.

    I use canned gas to blow as much of the dust and grit as possible off before cleaning. If you rub sand or something similar into the lens, no matter what the cleaner, it will scratch.....

    Best long sleeve hot weather shirts

    I can handle the hydration part, but lean, fit and nicotine free.... not so much. Been working in the yard all day. After about 10, put on an old white cotton dress shirt. Button-down collar and all. I have nylon shirts, fishing shirts and all that. But if you don't have any evaporation to...

    Option for 308 load development

    Amen to that. Find a bullet your rifle will shoot decently and tune your load to it. Buy lots of one kind (when you can find it) and don't have a bunch of little lots of different kinds laying around (like I do).... I like the matchkings, but don't want to hunt with them.
