    Remove Blue loctite stain from wood?

    I thought there was a gunsmithing forum, but I guess it went away. I put a tube of blue loctite down on a table a the lid was totally secure, so I got a thumb sized stain on the wood. I think it’s polyurethaned, the table is like 30 years old, but this is the worst I’ve done to it. In the...

    Max range with 56mm scope on 20 moa rail + ?moa mount?

    My son wants to get into longer range shooting. He has a Ruger RPR in 6.5Creed. For his birthday I wanted to get him one of the 35x scopes with a 56mm bell. The RPR has a 20 MOA rail, and I’m looking at either a Leupold Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25×56 with the PR2MIL reticle, or the Vortex Vortex...

    Loading magazines with out smearing bullet lube?

    I’ve got fat fingers and whenever I load my Center-X ammo, I always end up smearing the lube from the bullet onto the brass. I have to think that this leads to variation and maybe dirty chambers as the lube builds up. Anyone have a way to load rounds into CZ45X mags or Voodo mags with out...

    Fargo/Grand Forks, ND- Ranges and PRS matches?

    Got a buddy looking to move to Grand Forks and he wants to get into PRS/ELR shooting. Any suggestions for ranges to belong to that have good long range facilities? Are there any matches in the area? Sure seems like there is a lot of space, not a lot of back-stops. Cold enough in winter for...

    Archimedes Action and Barloc

    I bought these and a prefit 6.5C barrel a few years ago, but put the project aside. I was looking around and it seems ARC doesn’t sell the Archimedes anymore, I assume the new action is the new hotness. On the BARLOC, they don’t sell it anymore. Is it still relevant and useful? I didn’t see any...

    Ak47 in 22lr

    https://atlanticfirearms.com/ak47-22-military-style-trainer-rifle From your arms for sale at Atlantic firearms. Anybody ever played with one of these? I’m a huge fan of shooting 22s for familiarity and fun. I had never heard of these before. Thoughts?

    Fast Twist- where are we?

    It looks like we haven’t had a discussion on barrel twist lately? I’d figure that more than a few fast 1x9 barreled guns are out there and there has been enough time for a few long range matches so far this year. What are people seeing? due to a lot of things I haven’t been able to get out to...

    AR Bolt Carrier Group... Pen

    My cousin's kid who just graduated ROTC really enjoyed the Penn State 'Tank' Pen kit I gave her over Thanksgiving. Instead of using a lathe, I use a 3d Printer to print the pen barrels, with names or features. He brother who is in ROTC now said something about having issues with his assembling...

    MDT folding stock adaptor LOP effect?

    I picked up a LSS-RF and a LSS-XL G2 on their sale. I was looking at stock options that would allow a folder. The Carbine-Carbine type adds 1.75inches. I seem to remember seeing that for their stocks built on carbine buffer tubes, that there were different lengths, but I don’t see that...

    Dirty Barrel with a few 22lr rounds and Accuracy

    I guess I have never done it before, but I pulled the bolt on two different guns that two different kinds of sub ammo shot through them - and even thought one had less than 20 rounds through the gun (CX) the bore looked like an obstacle course. A couple of patches with Slip cleaner, looks clean...

    ELR Scope, rail, mount specification calculation

    So I pulled a table for 22 out to 100 yards. Realistically, and it sounds insane, I'd want a set up that would handle 550-600 yards max. How do you calculate what mix of rails, mounts and scope adjustment needed for subsonic? I run MIL/MIL scopes. So for 500-600yards, you'd need...

    BigJimFish V22 Review and back to barrel twist

    We had a thread about barrel twist and Mike/RAVAGE88 hasn't posted for awhile in that thread after talking about some of his experiments with barrel twist. BigJimFIsh's review talks about barrel selection and mentions that a 1:9 twist from Voodoo is available. -Does this mean that that...

    Tuning 40x extractors

    When I got my conversion I had it set up for a bias towards extraction. I get about 1 in 10 rounds that doesn’t want to feed right. How do you ‘tune’ the extractors b the rim and feed smoothly? I understand that it might reduce extraction strength- making extraction with a dirty chamber or an...

    Red Dot Off-hand Wobble

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to set up a red dot. What would be the aiming woble for most people shooting offhand and shooting aimed, but rapid fire? 3-5MOA? Maybe more? I'm looking at carbine set-ups. You have the inherent accuracy of the gun-ammo combo. A M193/16inch CL Barrel...

    Building a custom gun

    What is your preferred procedure for building custom guns, which I assume you guys do? I got a deal on an ACC chassis and was going to build up a gun, but before I start down that path I wanted to know how it might work. You guys have the parts or at least the companies I'm most interested in...

    Winchester 45gr Subsonic 22lr

    I was at Bass Pros getting some 22lr to blast through my 15-22s and I saw this Winchester 45 gr subsonic and target ammo. Anyone try it yet. Bought a box of it to try out an chrono. Heavier's better, right ;) Not the M-22 bulk pack stuff. This is 100 rounds in an 'egg crate' and is "Super...

    Movie Theater Jack Ryan on Prime

    Like Krasinski in 13 Hours and he is man enough to bone the chick from Sicario. Looks like it will be interesting. Really like the trailer, so that has lead to irrational expectations. Kind of like how the Punisher trailer on Netflix was AWESOME and the series was a let down at just really...

    22LR recoil enhancer

    I was looking to increase the felt recoil from my 15-22 for better practice on 3-gun type shooting. My searches are coming up with mentions of devices, but not anything current. Is it as simple as a reverse design from standard brakes? Port it mostly down and forward?

    Slow first shots with Center-X?

    It was 65 out and cloudy yesterday and we were under cover. Got some pretty good data out of my Labradar shooting my 40X that was re-barreled with a Douglas 24 inch. Got data for 40 shots after I had re-zeroed and got some dope, so it wasn't like it was I've always seemed to notice that the...
