    ACOG reticle travel?

    Due to a bad mount (my fault) I want to bring the chevron in a 3.5X35 ACOG back to center. I would rather not spin the adjustment knobs to count clicks and then to come back halfway. I have a hard time counting past 21. Does anyone know the "stop to stop" travel, vertical and horizontal for...

    Does anyone recognize this trigger

    This came with an Anchutz 1413 I purchased about 45 years ago. It was never in the rifle for the years I shot and I kept it when the rifle was passed on to someone that would use it. Does anyone know the maker? I find no visible markings. Thank you, MrSmith

    Gunsmithing Feed ramp dimensions

    I am rechambering an AR-15 for a wildcat. I have looked at the feed ramp shapes of different cartridges. At the moment I'm leaning toward cutting the ramps slightly over the diameter of the straight wall case at 45*, 22.5* each side of center. Is there a design method or "rule of thumb" for...

    Going green, and a few other colors.

    Today is the day to think about stocking up on environmentally friendly targets. Available in varied sizes. Centerfire, rimfire, any distance, MOA and MIL friendly. Support your local businesses. Overstocks will go on sale almost everywhere in the coming week. Avoid disappointment and...

    A vote against Trump

    I was completing my ballot for the upcoming election and noticed there are 21 options, not including "Write-in", for President/Vice President. What I glean from the media is there are only two actual choices, Trump/Pence and "Not Trump/Pence". Because Biden/Harris receive all of the medias...

    Firearms Looking for a CZ 527 action

    Collecting for a winter project. Anyone have one on the shelf because your plans changed. Maybe your dog chewed off the barrel and stock and you never got around to repairing it. .223 Rem boltface. Trigger and mag a plus. Thank you, MrSmith

    Accessories WTB - Very well used TBAC 338 BA Brake

    I know it's a longshot but maybe someone left their nice rifle in the hall and the dog chewed up the brake. The muzzle threads can be trash. The ports can be trash. BUT I do need the mounting taper and male suppressor threads to be in good shape. Anybody out there? Thank you, MrSmith

    Have wildcat, need Quickload calc.

    My rifle is finished. New cartridge, no data at all. Initial plans are for subsonic only but it could go faster if desired. Going to try Trailboss but I don't know if I have the case volume to reach my target of 1060 fps. 100% fill is 17.4 grains. Have the first round loaded with 14.0 grains...

    How telemarketers stop telemarketers

    Dialed a wrong number this morning. (800) 610-4361 An interesting answering machine picked up. Dialed it twice to be sure I heard it right. Might have to think up something clever and call them back. What could I try to sell them?? Creative thinkers are encouraged to dial. At the least it...
