What is the diff between 127 and 132? Thank you!

Very nice! I will be adding the LE127-00B to the stable!

Coltdriver - Great tip on the waterproofing! I've completely dunked mine while duck hunting, shook the water out, removed the batteries and continued to hunt. Went home and let them air dry for a few days, replaced with new batteries, work fine. I have sweat enough in mine to cause the...

I vote for the fashion conscious AND for hearing... :D No camo felonies for me... Maybe camo misdemeanors... :) My camo almost 'always' matches, and I always wear the Peltor Tac6 (for the ability to get a good cheek-weld with rifle or shotgun), sometimes I wear a face mask, sometimes...

Best hunting gear I own - Peltor Tac6S electronic muffs Peltor Tactical 6 - I learned about these 8 years ago, have hunted/shot with them ever since. I wish someone had told me about them earlier... I know this will cause someone to claim, 'bs', but it's true - Since hunting with...

I use a .308 and aim for the neck. I have shot deer at 68, 55 and 35 yards with this aim point and a rifle that will make the shot. All three of these deer rolled to the opposite side like a hammer hit them, and expired right there. The buck rolled over and impaled his antlers in the soil...

1. Prayers to your friend - well wishes for a speedy recovery. 2. This is a good reminder for me as to why I practice 'empty hands' more than my firearms right now... It seems I always have my hands with me, and only sometimes my firearms. 3. Even with my skills, I remain only as good as my...

CMP US Service Rifle M1 I love the M1 Garand. Here is my Springfield, made in 1940. I hold this and feel the history. I wish it could tell me it's story... PS - I shoot the Korean -06, and use Windex with Ammonia at the range, followed by standard cleaning, no problems so far. Gotta...

Use the Brownells Reamer I have used a hand FC Reamer from brownells, with a large vise, large T-Handle tap wrench, lots of cutting oil and lots of time. Not a job to rush, worked fine in an 1897 Winchester, several 870s. The important thing to do for me is to keep chips to a minimum...

My FNSLP is marked 'FN Herstal Belgium FN USA Fredricksburg VA' on the barrel...
