    How to put a barrel extension on a barrel

    Pictures? Large frame or small frame AR? Assuming an AR, assemblers don't mess with extensions 99.9999% of the time unless they happen to be machinists too and want to do the whole thing themselves. Because if it is indeed the extension you sheered off, unfortunately you're going to want to send...

    Some really great recommendations to consider, I so appreciate it. Now to break the golden rule, and actually ask the wife for the budget. =p

    Compact Spotter considerations

    I'm tired of lugging (and I do mean lugging) my spotter, which is more for bird watching I think. It's huuuge. Ok, so what do I need to be looking for? Cost is a factor. I was looking at the Bushy T series, but is there anything I should really consider around that as well? Thanks!

    Night Vision PSA: stolen tubes

    Just a thought, and not to argue really, it's not the feds in question though. It's the corporation that employed the accused. Understandable for the situation you described, where Pvt Snuffy from the arms room has pocketed them. These weren't "stolen" from the .mil, at least thusfar, and they...

    Night Vision PSA: stolen tubes

    I just posted this over there. But I found the topic here first alerting me to the situation. In the event someone here was effected, my thoughts as posted: "First, thanks OP for posting this and all of the discussion and the statement(s) by the criminal investigator(s). I just discovered all...

    Digital earbuds under $200?

    I've been using my trusty Sordins for years now, but it's a bit of a pain. As in headache. So, I've been looking around at the various buds. I was looking at the Axil GhostStryke with bluetooth, but is there anything else I should be looking at or you can recommend?

    SOCOM adopted .300NM, wonder how long it will be before the Navy says, whoah, that is a better mousetrap?

    Custom tikka vs. tikka t3x tac a1

    If your buying a rifle as a donor action, and going to spend $1800-2k total for a Bravo and a good barrel, then why not consider a PVA John Hancock. With that action you'll be able to change bolt faces out for various rounds, and not to mention having a proper custom barrel on it that you will...

    All this talk about dope cards, here's my solution to holding them!

    I bought a few of the others, they were made of plastic and always broke. MkM's looks much more solid and durable. =)

    Radio recommendations

    I was tired of replacing bubble pack radios every year. That should tell you something about them. The Icom's have actually saved me money despite the upcharge on the initial buy. Buy once cry once applies here. And really, they aren't too bad if you look around.

    Radio recommendations

    Couple of years ago I bought 4 Icom 4011's. Rugged, with excellent range despite trees and terrain. GMRS. Really great unit of high quality that I can't recommend enough.

    Greatest Bolt Action Battle Rifle in History...

    I prefer the K31 over the No1 I have. But I do see your point, considering the times, that magazine capacity is impressive.

    Bergara HMR Pro

    Believe me, I don't have time either. I'm learning by necessity after wasting 3 range sessions looking for factory ammo for another rifle. I wasted more time and money doing that, than sitting back and working out 1 load for across the course from the get go. But the way I figure. .6 for that...

    Bergara HMR Pro

    I never take anyone's word for fasteners being properly torqued, I learned that with a remmy. I'd check the action screws and get them properly torqued too. But .6" with factory ammo seems like its gonna be a sweet shooter especially with handloads.

    Greatest Bolt Action Battle Rifle in History...

    K-31 is a solid battle rifle for the time, and one which I prefer over the Enfield. Just my opinion, and I did stay at the holiday inn last night.

    Improvised cheek riser for AR butt stock

    I have the RISR/Magpul sititng in the box. It's a bit too tall for me. Seems it was made specifically for OBR's and their slightly higher rail. For some it isn't a prob, guess its just me. Well made though. I have the Battleiline/Magpul. Love it. Well made. I believe they said they're about to...
