I'm considering converting my nearly new 1990's vintage Benelli from pistol grip to a straight stock, using Benelli parts. There is a Benelli stock set (part 60516) from the company website - and it's even reasonably priced at $80. Is this a drop in for the 90's era gun? Thank you!

Great hunting caliber. .308 on a Tule Elk, cow, 430lb. Used a Rem Core Lokt PSP. Didn't use my M1A since I couldn't find 7.62 hunting rounds, and I wanted a hunting specific bullet, like the Core Lokt. I used a R700 instead. I thought that there was general agreement that modern 308...

Choir, meet Crunker. Crunker, choir.

Carried a M14 for a lot of years, including Desert Storm. It was accurate with iron sights to 600 yd (reliably hit a man sized target), never and I mean never ever jammed, always went bang, and seemed to dump a guy with more authority than the CAR727's we had at the time. The 727's jammed...

+1 Shooter1. It has varying results, can be effective, but it isn't a magic wand. The operational effectiveness of the big blue guy in the vid was degraded, not stopped.

I have seen this argument go back and forth several times. I know that they are different animals (762x51 vice 308). However, its all about the load. I know (from many thousands of rounds) that LC Match 762x51 ammo does just fine in commercial rifles chambered in 308 (such as a Tikka or a...

Went to Crossroads of the West Gunshow today. Here are some data reflecting current prices in my next of the woods. In no particular order: 1000 rounds of Golden Tiger 55gr .223 = $190 20 rounds of Ranger 64 gr .223 = $13 500 rounds of Wolf Classic 55gr .223 = $99 200 rounds of Rem factory...

CA folks have basis for investing in a Mini to get it to shoot straight (2MOA). With a Level 1 package from GWS, or equivalent from Clark's (or other), you will spend about $250. You can get a used Mini for starvation cheap - anywhere from $200-400. A warmed up Mini that shoots within these...

My Road, your price estime is dead on. For $250 you can get the basics done, skipping the rail and the coating. I just wanted a little gun pr0n. Ah, vanity. However, the scout rail has already sold me. Worth every penny, for this type of application. I still intend to get some AR's, first...

How much do you want to spend? For a couple hundred you can dramatically improve your trigger and shorten the barrel, improving accuracy. Add a folding stock and a LEO mag or two and you are set. Clarks is good, so is Great West. Over on the Perfect Union BBS they have a Mini14 aftermarket...

In keeping with the high quality comms from GWS, GunDoc already replied to my inquiry re: the muzzle brake is we are pondering a fix. And this is on a weekend. Kudos. Also, I was corrected over on the Perfect Union. This rifle began its life as a standard, vice ranch, model. Lastly...

109, 110, whatever it takes. Thanks, though.

Bartholomew Roberts, thanks. I will give it a try. This isn't precision turn bolt, but is intended to let me compete in some of the (sharply) curtailed three gun matches around here. I will be content with being to place the rounds on silhouette targets or 10" metal plates at 200yd. I will look...

Yeah, its that CA thing... ... never would have spent the $ on the Mini if I wasn't in this state for the next few years. I probably would have (a ) sold it and used the money towards an AR, or (b ) spent less $ on a barrel tensioner and tried stoning the bearing surfaces in the trigger group...

Bought the rifle @ 1992ish for approximately $500. The smithing, including the duracoat and the Ultimak was @ $500. The Aimpoint was about $300. The red dot is a wash, as far as rifle to rifle comparisons are concerned. OTOH, a new Ruger costs between $750-850, and shoots poorly, compared to...

GWS Mini14 pics As promised.

Finally had a comprehensive range day with my recently tuned Ranch Rifle, warmed up courtesy of Great West Gunsmithing. The work that was performed was the Package 3, plus a rail: Trigger job Shorten and recrown the barrel, reattach the front sight Recoil buffer and gas port bushing...

It's a solid 2 of 5. Don't pay full price. Don't buy it. Rent it when your favorites aren't available.

Thank you! I have inquiries in, via email, to the usual suspects, and a cpl more that specialize in Class III arms and supplies. This would be an up and up transaction, completely transperent to all the powers that be. I am not an importer, but if there is a substantial cost and availability...

3 Words: Unit of Fire. Determine what your unit of fire is, per caliber, then determine how many engagements you need to plan for. For me, 210 rds of .223 plus 30 rds of .45 = one basic rifleman loadout. Figure 3 .223 shooters in a fireteam, so now you have 630 rds of .223 and 90 of...
