I'm considering a trade for a late 80's Winchester model 70 featherweight in .243 Win. Did Winchester have any turbulent time periods where QC wasn't a big priority? Are there some years considered better than others, maybe early v. late? I believe I've read Bart B praise the Winchester actions...

I'm not really into Rimfire rifles (I primarily shoot bullseye and service rifle) but I've been shooting some CMP Rimfire Sporter matches lately and am thinking about picking up a new "O" class rifle or two. I'm not at all interested in another 10/22, or anything modern for that matter. What old...

Any Remington 700 guys out there that can ID the date of manufacture of this one that I picked up today? It seems like it should have 2 letters then a number from what I've seen after a few searches. This doesn't seem to follow that formula. It may be a relatively low SN, maybe that has...

I'm looking for opinions/advise/experiences from experienced service rifle shooters who used to compete (or still do) with M14/M1A's. I've really wanted to get an M1A for years now, but could never justify laying down the cash. With the current hysteria going on I decided I could sell some of...

I'm looking for a good replacement grip for a tuned S&W model 64 to shoot SSR in IDPA matches. I've got fairly large thick hands so I'm a little worried about fit. Houge finger grove rubber grips aren't large enough for my fat fingers, so I'm a little spooked. A little help from my fellow fat...

I managed to win a Springfield 1911 Trophy at a PPC match (indoor) last season, I need to get some more mags to use the gun in the service pistol matches and maybe show up for some IDPA matches at my local club. Should I stick with factory Springfield mags or are there better magazines...

I'm in the market for a S&W model 41, it'll be used as a training pistol for those who keep asking me to teach them to shoot and I'll use it for bulls eye (I have always shot the High Standards that my father bought when I was a kid, now I'm in my 30's so I could probably break down and get my...

I know that most service rifle shooters handload their own ammo. With that in mind, I'm buying a Lee challenger single stage press kit for my WOA and WOP service and match rifles. What type of dies do you guys use? I am fairly certain that I want full length, carbide dies; but I also see some...

I'm looking for a little help from the competitive rifle shooters to see if there is a following for the above mentioned scope. I've got a WOA match rifle (26 inch barrell with a flat top receiver) that I need to put optics on. I'll use it mostly for informal club matches (of various types)...

Hi guys, I'm starting to get the reloading press going and am currently sorting 2,000 rounds of brass I bought. Its about an even split between LC and WCC, but is spread across 04 to 08 years of manufacture. Also, not 100% has the NATO cross. Is there a significant difference between years of...

Hi guys, I'm down to bullets and powder. I picked up a bunch of LC brass and need to start loading. I'm new to handloading and Service rifle (aside from a few matches in the Marines) so what type of bullets should I start with? I can find the SMK's in the 69, 77, and 80 grain variety; but I'm...

I've got 2 stripped M1 Garand receivers and a Winchester mix master that I would like to build and or restore. The question is, can I get proper parts still or should I just get a couple of parts kits and put together two rack grade guns and leave the third as is. In either case where do I get...

Anybody know if you can buy a .40 S&W barrel and magazine, and install it in a XD Tactical (currently .45 GAP)? I got the gun cheap, it's new, but I would rather have a full size .40. Just curious, Thanks.

Hi guys, I got my W.O.P. AR upper in the fall, now I need to start loading some rounds for the summer. I had planned on using 77 gr. match kings, but I see there are a lot of options for brass. Commercial? Military? LC? Winchester? Federal? Does it matter? Thanks, mike

I picked up two Springfield XD tacticals (5" model) in 45 GAP on G.B. today for $350 each. They're new in the box but I really have no experience with the XD's. Anybody have one or know anything about them? I picked them up because the price was right.

I've got a Para Ordnance 14 45 LDA that I need to get a holster for, it will mainly be used for PPC service matches, but I would like to shoot some more action pistol (of what type I'm not sure). Maybe even carry concealed, but only when a full size is possible, like winter. I don't care if...

Thanks to jmr40 I have been referred to CDNN for a significant mag purchase, one of the pistols I want mags for is my beretta 92FS. there are no less than 6 mags that CDNN sells for this pistol! I see Government contract mags, Italian made mags marked MDS, sand resistant mags, and Italian...

For the Glock lovers out there, are Glock handgun mags interchangeable between different models of similar caliber? Such as a mag for a 34 will fit 17,19,and 26? Similar results with the other caliber families? I'm assuming that only mags that are long enough to fit the pistol will work and...

Yes I said .38 special, you bulls eye guys remember em'! I need some help finding magazines for a 70 series colt 1911 converted to .38 special by John Giles. Any help is greatly appreciated. Any body know what these guns are worth now?

Does any one know where I could find antique Marine Corps NCO or Officer sword? I'm not incredibly pick about the era, but no newer than WW2. Thanks, Mike
