    Headspace checking - general statement?

    I agree I would use a no-go gauge.Far as I was taught field gauges were for military, if a rifle failed the no-go but passed a field it was still safe to fire. If a rifle fails no-go I correct from there, there is really no use for field gauges outside of a war zone in my opinion.

    DPMS sponsoring fighters?

    As far as I know both Matt Hughes & Tim Silvia both have done shots with DPMS. Matt Hughes has also done advertisements for the NRA. Both fighters do support the second amendment and belong to pro-gun groups. I am glad to see DPMS reaching out into different advertising venues. I do not think...

    Freshen up 700 rem. - stock and blueing

    On the REM 700 the screws are trigger pull, overtravel & sear engagement. Here is a link to a site with instructions on adjusting them, a little different than the way I do it but it will work. Clear nail polish will work on the screws after you have them set...

    gunsmith schools

    I agree. You can't replace hands on training. If you cannot attend a school try to find a reputable local smith who would let you apprentice.

    The Customer Is Always Right?

    I had a guy call the shop wanting to buy the "over/under" Scout Squad made by Springfield. I told him Springfield Armory did not make an "over/under" gun. He proceeded to tell me I must not know what I was talking about because he was looking at it as we spoke on Springfield's website. He went...

    Sandblasting before park. question

    I only bast external parts. I tape off hammers so I don't bead blast the notches.- why spend all that time stoning to get a smooth finish and turn around and bead blast it? I also use rubber plugs in barrels.

    for those who think it's dumb to carry at home...

    I carry at home because I run my shop from home. With customers coming in and out it makes sense to me.

    Peculiarities in Gun Taste?

    I hate polymer,9mm's and flat top slides. I think heavily engraved guns look tacky, I like subtle highlights. Even though I do quite a bit of it here at the shop I personally do not like checkering on rifle stocks, but prefer light & simple carvings. I like the look of a fluted barrel and bolt.

    Seeking advice regarding Kids and Guns

    My kids are ages 6,4,3,& 6 months. The older 3 all know the difference between real guns and toy ones. I have my kids treat their airsoft guns as real ones, they are very responsible with them. They have better gun handling safety than some of the customers who come in my shop.

    Fitting awkward shaped guns in a safe....

    I have a lot of rifles that don't quite fit in the safe. I finally got tired of fighting with them and decided to redo our bedroom. Now I have all the bulky ones hanging on the walls as decoration.:D I am not real concerned about break-ins/ theft because our bedroom is upstairs and I figure...

    reloading

    I would recommend RCBS. When I began reloading I was on a budget too. I found some used RCBS stuff cheap in a local shop. I needed a few parts for the press & powder throw, so I called RCBS and they sent me the parts free even though I told them I bought it used. They have really great customer...

    How do you hunt your deer with dogs or...

    I still hunt & stalk- depends on what kinda mood I'm in I guess. I got really ruined on hunting deer with dogs. I have never tried it myself but have got a lot of hunts ruined by others hunting with them. I do however enjoy rabbit & bird hunting with dogs.
