    Krieger vs Bartlein

    I bought a Bartlein barrel from a supplier. I had a couple of questions and called Bartlein. Frank answered my call and gave me a lot of time with very complete answers to my questions on fluting (OK up to 0.075 inch on my barrel) and fire lapping (doesn't recommend it; voids the warranty)...

    Daniel Defense and DPMS 308 Flash Hider Comparison

    Here they are . . . Daniel Defense on the left and DPMS on the right. Both are about two ounces and about 0.85 inch in diameter. The slots on the Daniel Defense are a little longer and wider than the DPMS. The Daniel Defense is 1.88 inches long and the DPMS is 1.75 inches long, which makes...

    Anyone have a Mini 14?

    My brother and I have a standing joke about self loaders flinging their empty cases out into the underbrush. Now try finding the brass when you shoot it from a seat up in a tree or in an elevated box blind with all the windows open. I normally open all the windows because I am looking in all...

    Unless someone has some input, I guess I'll order both, look them over, and return one.

    Anyone have a Mini 14?

    My five digit serial number (2x,xxx) mini bought in 1979 at Montgomery Ward has a 1:10 twist barrel. The one time I used it in NRA high power competition at Camp Bullis, I shot sharpshooter scores with it at two and three hundred yards. I think I was using Korean 5.56 55 grain stuff. The rear...

    Designated marksman requirements

    I'm going to make sure I don't have any dimes in my pocket the next time I'm in Minnesota. I might be 1000 yards from a prison and not know it until the dime seeking boolit penetrates my pants. Gee, it's late and time for bed.

    Help for Bedded Rem 7 Safety and Box Magazine Issues

    We pulled the action from the stock in the hopes that the safety would operate normally and smoothly. No joy. Still the middle travel detent and gritty final travel. The gunsmith adjusted the trigger to about 2.75 pounds. He says he "...has received training at Remington Arms Co., the...
