    Rifle Scopes SWFA website stock?

    Re: SWFA website stock? Changing a website to reflect inventory levels costs money. I'd rather SWFA put that money towards keeping their prices low and maintaining their support for the community through sponsorship, group buys, and their 110% price guarantee.

    Rifle Scopes Removing Paint From Scope

    Re: Removing Paint From Scope +1 to the above mentioned solvents. An old nylon-bristled toothbrush can help when applying. Be careful with solvents. Some of them, such as acetone, can melt certain types of plastic. Do your brain and lungs a favor: wear a respirator.

    Anyone have a Palmetto State rifle?

    Re: Anyone have a Palmetto State rifle? Make sure it has the right gas tube. PSA sent out a mid-length rifle with a carbine-length gas tube - it was quite the hubbub on Arfcom. After all the chest thumping about their test firing and QC, the gas tube incident destroyed their credibility...
