    Not sure about something to make it louder, but I have shot an AR with a flash enhancer http://www.armamentsales.com/enhancers.htm Good times :cool:

    Job Boxes as Gunsafes?

    There are a ton of threads about this same topic out on the internet. I read a bunch before deciding to just get a standard safe. There's enough big box stores selling safes for reasonable prices that the Job Box is only a good solution for a narrow set of requirements. In addition, there's...

    So what is your next ar build going to be?

    Been thinking on a 204 Ruger build lately. It would cost a touch more than a bolt action rifle, but the extra mag capacity would be nice.

    Henry Rifles

    Depends on the model that you want. The 357s are rare as hen's teeth nowadays. Grabagun.com gets a couple in every few months, but you have to act fast because they sell out in less than an hour.

    Start Up Gunsmithing Shop Best vs Basic set up

    That sure is a heck of a lot to ask, but here goes a guess on the minimum: I don't see why you couldn't start producing ammo with a Lee Classic kit and some basic supplies + the correct FFL. Total investment could be as low as 1k to turn out your first round. Your $/hr would be dang low, but...

    where to find LONG rifle bags?

    Voodoo Tactical has some highly recommended drag bags. MidwayUSA also has at least one larger bag. http://www.voodootactical.net/casearch.aspx?IsSubmit=true&SearchTerm=drag+bag&submit= http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939171584/midwayusa-sniper-drag-bag-scoped-rifle-case

    Confessions from a self proclaimed brass rat

    Ahh, after a couple thousand pounds of brass in storage you should be able to get more picky on the ones that you pick up :)

    Confessions from a self proclaimed brass rat

    Congrats! As long as you can enjoy shooting and are polite to others who are shooting then it's not a problem. If you start bothering other people on the line or it causes other issues then you've crossed over. Good brass is worth something to many of us and that encourages us to spend a few...

    338 LM, Do it?

    Those are some great points. I've looked around enough to agree that the other calibers and cartridges are totally capable of target use at long distance. If I'm honest there is something about the 338 and 50 that is drawing me though. Call it ego or compensating or something like that :) Guess...

    338 LM, Do it?

    That's a lot of good info about 50 cals. I did a little more research on the ranges that are nearby and 50 BMG is prohibited nearly everywhere while 338 is still allowed. Guess that sets me back on the original path. Will check with some of the stores this weekend.

    338 LM, Do it?

    50 Shooter, those were some of his arguments also. The only downside that I could see was the cost to buy a rifle. $2000 will get a magazine fed 110BA. I think I would need to step that price up quite a bit to get into fiddy.

    338 LM, Do it?

    Haha Taliv :) I was more referring to the 110BA with regards to the cost effective comment. I know that it will be a big chunk of change to get into the cartridge and firearm, but less so than the 50 cal that my shooting buddy is trying to guide me into.

    338 LM, Do it?

    There are a number of places within an hour's drive for 1000+ yard ranges. living in Colorado and relatively near timberline helps. I should also say that this would be used for target shooting and the challenge of shooting far vs for hunting.

    338 LM, Do it?

    I've been blessed to fill out my rifle wishlist for the common calibers, but for some reason I've been looking at the Savage 110BA in 338LM for some time. This seems like one of the most cost effective ways to get into long range shooting. I know that there is a heavy cost to get into this game...
