    Reaping potential from a PSL-54C

    I've had good luck with a 150 grain bullet and a medium weight charge of H4895, but loads in that range tend to work well for most cartridges in this class.

    Auto vs Bolt Suppression

    Action noise is significant. I have a .22 AR upper that puts out very little muzzle noise with a suppressor, but I still get a loud noise from the action cycling. When I stick that same can on my bolt action .22 it's quieter than an air gun.

    Use of the Sling in the Offhand Position

    As a guy shooting in the same vintage rifle matches as you I feel qualified to answer:D I find that using a "hasty" sling like they teach in Appleseed does help somewhat in offhand shooting. It doesn't really provide any extra support, but it helps dampen the natural wobble I have when...

    NFA Picture Thread

    It works quite well. The CMMG upper has a lot of action noise, and with subsonics that's about all you hear. With subs on a bolt action it's quieter than a pellet gun. Here's a video with supersonics. With subs you don't get the "pop"...

    NFA Picture Thread

    I posted this gun earlier in the thread (and with the can in a separate thread) but now that I have a suppressor here it is again. 6.5" CMMG .22 upper, with a suppressor I made myself on a Form 1.

    Form 1 suppressor

    1.125 OD x 6" long. I didn't want to go with a tiny little can because I thought it would look funny with this gun. Even though it's a little bigger than a typical rimfire can it still works well with pistols. I tried it on a friend's Sig Mosquito and it didn't block the sights at all. It...

    Weight training for accuracy

    I don't specifically do it to help my shooting, but in the last 5 years I stopped being a couch potato and got into shape. I've noticed it helps quite a bit, especially with action shooting. Not being winded after sprinting through a stage makes a big difference.

    Form 1 suppressor

    The blast baffle and muzzle threads are 303 stainless. Everything else is 6061 aluminum.

    Form 1 suppressor

    Just thought I'd drop this off...pics of the rimfire suppressor I built on a Form 1. It's very quiet on my 6.5" CMMG, with subsonics you pretty much just hear the action cycling. This was my first attempt at building a can and I'm very happy with the results. I have another Form 1 approved...

    SilencerCo Osprey 9MM?

    I have shot a friend's .45 Osprey (shooting .40 through it) and it was Hollywood quiet. Literally sounded like a pellet gun. We were shooting it wet, though.

    Best WWII bolt action rifle

    For a bolt action in a battle environment the Lee-Enfield No. 4 wins hands down. Acceptable battle accuracy, the fastest cycling action, most capacity (10 rounds), and good sights. It may not be the best sporter or precision rifle, but when the Huns are coming over the wall those extra rounds...

    A friend of mine just got his Form 1 back. 205 days door to door.

    Barrel thread concentricity and alignment

    I'm just learning the mysteries of lathe operation, and I just threaded my first .22 barrel. This is a little different than checking concentricity on a barrel that's already threaded, but what I did was turn a piece of brass bar stock down to be a tight slip fit in the bore. Then I chucked...

    1873 Barrel Relining Project with Pictures!

    Very nice. I'm about to embark on a restoration of a Stevens Favorite and I'm considering relining the original barrel. I like your PVC collar idea for holding the barrel.

    Mitchell's Mausers

    Mitchell's are the equivalent of the slimy used car salesman who rolls back the odometer on a car. They've been known to add fake markings, and their advertising is extremely deceptive. They take $300 guns and turn them into something a knowledgeable collector wouldn't buy for $150, but they...

    Ruger 10/22.. shot my front sight off..!

    A dovetailed sight like you describe is probably the most common way of attaching a sight to a barrel. If it's too loose you can also take a center punch and peen up just a little metal at the bottom of the dovetail, then drift the sight back in. I've had to do that a few times with loose...

    British Enfield's...How Good Does Yours Shoot?

    My No. 4 MK 2 is a pretty solid 2-3 MOA gun. I haven't spent a lot of time working up a load, though, and I'm just using pulled Russian .311 bullets with some H4895. Quality bullets would probably help it a lot. As it is right now it's good enough to win our local vintage military match if I...

    newbie query about target shooting excellence

    Appleseed is a good idea. 500 or so rounds of intensive marksmanship practice in two days will drill it into your skull. Best thing I ever did for my shooting. A rimfire match it a great idea, too. At my club we're starting up a CMP Rimfire Sporter match: http://www.odcmp.com/nm/rimfire.htm...

    My First Rifle (Ruger 10/22) Could Use Your Help

    Another vote for Tech Sights. Best upgrade you can do to a 10/22. Learn to shoot well with iron sights. Blazer and Federal bulk both seem to be good quality. Remington is absolute junk.
