    Titan Gun Vault—lockout mode?

    I have a Titan Gun Vault (Simplex lock). The manual says: "A lockout feature deters continued random entry of combinations to gain access" A local locksmith told me there is no lockout mode that he knows of. I believe I have entered the correct combination, but the safe isn't opening. Is...

    Book cover title color

    Do you guys prefer the RED or YELLOW for my book cover title? As you might imagine, the book has tons (really, a LOT) of guns and shooting, so I hope it's okay to post this here. I'd really like your opinions. Thanks, Jay

    What height rings do I need?

    I'm doing a build with a Lilja Sendaro contour barrel. I'll be using Leupold scope base and rings mounted on a Pierce action. Any idea what height rings I'll need to mount a Leupold Mk-IV 10X scope? That scope has a 40mm objective. Will low rings be tall enough? Thanks, Jay Base...

    Bottom Metal for M40A1

    I'm doing an M40A1 build. McMillan wants to know what "bottom metal" I'll be using so they can make the right cut in the stock. They said my options are DD Ross and something about custom Winchester (don't remember exactly what they said). What do you guys say? This won't be an exact replica...

    Will this load blow my hand off?

    I've created a batch (90) of 9mm loads. Initially, I couldn't find the data in my books for the 115 jacketed round nose, so I just used the OAL for 115 JHP. Later I found some data for the round nose bullets. I later compared the length of my loads to some factory ones and mine are quite a bit...

    Proper technique for a light trigger

    I recently finished having an AR-10 built and it has a Jard trigger around 1.5 pounds, I think. I shot the gun without problem for a while, but then began getting doubles. I think the gun was firing when it would recoil out of my shoulder and bump into my trigger finger again. The way I...

    Load for 18" AR-10

    Got a new 18" AR-10 recently. While shooting the gun I can't tell, but I'm told there's a serious ball of flame coming out the end. So far, I've just used off the shelf target ammo (just cheap stuff). I'm guessing the main producer of muzzle flash is unburned powder after the bullet has left the...

    AR-10 combat load

    I want to load some rounds which will be used in a few different AR-10s, none of them target rifles. My main concern is reliability. I'm looking for recommendations of components (what bullet and weight?), power, and powder quantity. Any other thoughts are welcome.

    Help with gun identification...

    I inherited this gun from my dad a long time ago. I don't remember where he got it. Does anyone know what it is? I don't see a serial number on it anywhere. Is it in a secret place? http://www.jpwphoto.com/p369153722 Thanks, Jay
