    Nevermind, removed. I decided I don't want to get sued.

    Do you build or assemble rifles?

    I think it has to do with the whole process of "building" the rifle, here's mine: First I design what I'm planning on "building" with old fashioned crayons and construction paper. I'm not a very good artist, so once I have an initial plan on paper, I spend a few hours cutting the parts out of...

    Odd gun cleaning question

    I have a few very large, rather used gun barrels that have to be cleaned then coated with some kind clear coat for protection. These will be hanging on a wall for who knows how many years, indoors and not handled, and I'm wondering the best type of clear coat to use, something preferably quite...

    Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide?

    Re: Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide? A few more things I thought of: When we shoot IPSC and USPSA handgun matches, the guys shooting the 9mm have a more difficult time getting the steel targets to tip (yeah, they should probably be calibrated better, but target set-up isn't...

    Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide?

    Re: Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide? Kraig, I think you are talking about impulse of a force and collision types, which I agree should play an important role in this. Impulse is essentially dissipating collision energy over a set period of time, the longer a collision...

    Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide?

    Re: Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide? Sounds like a great idea! I'd be interested to hear the results. As far as the 1,000 ft-lb of energy goes, that sounds about right. I don't know the weight of the Ram, but to deliver that much energy to it, with a 120 grain bullet, it...

    Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide?

    Re: Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide? Alrighty, give this a go: Imagine you have your steel plate, and enclose this plate in an imaginary boundary so you can keep track of anything that enters or leaves the boundary. Any amount of energy entering the boundary has to leave...

    Auto-Resetting Target for 17HMR?

    Re: Auto-Resetting Target for 17HMR? I used my .22LR only target with the Hornday 17gr V-max poly tips at 50 yards and could see no difference between the .22LR and .17 hits. Although, there was a definite hole when we shot it with the .223.

    M&P15-22 problems

    Re: M&P15-22 problems I got mine at the beginning of the year and had to send it back to S&W, but since it came back, there hasn't been a single hiccup. I only shoot CCI Mini Mags or the Federal 550 Bulk pack ammo, and I've been able to empty a 25 round clip as fast as I can pull the trigger...

    Savage Stock (TR) now at Boyds

    Re: Savage Stock (TR) now at Boyds Does anyone know how to tell if your Savage 93 has the "E-Receiver" and whether you need a different trigger guard and magazine plate to work with this stock? My rifle is relatively new, I just got the GV model rifle (heavy barrel and wood stock) this past...
