I have a DGV and really like it. It is a Stiller Predator action that has a semi-floating bolt head and Savage barrel threads. I put it in a McMillan stock and added a Jewell trigger. Shoots great as a light gun with a Shilen barrel. I can change the barrel myself when it wears out, or I...

Not a lawyer, but... If you put a magazine that can hold more than 30 rounds in a firearm, you just created a destructive device (machine gun) in Ohio. I have seen them for sale, so I don't think there is a ban on owning one, but never put it in/near a firearm. There is an exception for...

I have had good luck with Millet.

Search 6mmbr.com for Citranox. About $45 a gallon and you dilute it 100:1. It works well for brass. There are several other articles about ultra-sonic cleaning with compared results. One had a home made recipe on it somewhere...
