    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    Yo u will be busy enough just getting your brain awake if time, adding ANYTHING else to the situation just complicates and slows response.Plus, even ear pro can make it harder to sense direction and recognize the sound of a freindly.

Price a Milling Machine and TIG welder lately?Have the skills to use them extremely well? How about maintaining an...

    Barrel threading

    Hold on Thar ...Threading the OUTSIDE of a barrels end removes no material from the bore ,period. A threaded barrel simply gives the shooter options.

    First Deer with 6 mm arc

    Bravo on a great hunt. A note to all the ARC shooters who are re-forming Grendel Brass.

Hoping that fire forming would help I...

    The best AR trigger?

    Recently A fellow shooter was getting doubles . I inspected it's hyperfire trigger and found the disconnecter pawl was worn round and was allowing the doubles.Shooter had less than 1000 rds through the rifle. Inconsistent heat treat of the part is likely. IN the last 3 yrs we have at least 25...
