    AR Caliber Choices

    Help me narrow my choices on a new AR build. The problem is I have too many choices and no direction. I could go with a big bore AR, 450 Bushmaster, 458 Socom, or 50 Beowulf- just because. I am not really sure of what I would do with it. Not to mention WOW these are expensive to shoot...

    Variable Twist Rifling

    I remember reading about variable twist rifles in the 80’s; I found it to be a very interesting idea. The word of the day was that you would achieve more velocity, less pressure, and better accuracy. Did this technology never matured? Or possibly no real benefit was to be had and it was all...

    Scary brass

    Just a small sample of the really screwed up ammo I picked up when scrounging brass from my last range trip. Now I can understand the missing primer, but I catch those when taking them off the press. The one with the primer not seated all the way, well I don’t really understand that so much...

    Handgun for Deer Hunting in Central Texas

    I am open for suggestions on what would be a good pistol / caliber for deer hunting in central Texas. In my hunting patch, due to being way overgrown and covered with cedar, I won’t get a shot more than 30 yards. Our place is littered with deer, but they don’t get over 100lbs. So I don’t...

    Weatherby Vanguard Non-Sub MOA

    Ok I know at the Howa plant they test the rifles and it shoots a 3-shot sub moa, they put on a different floor plate and charge more. Does anyone know if they pull every one or just when they need them? I am asking because I opened the box, mounted the scope, and three shots later I was...

    Have you ever been struck by a ricochet?

    Today was quite eventful. I got to shoot a new gun, break an old one and I was shot, well hit anyway. I was on the 25yd pistol range when the guy 3 lane to my left was sighting in a rifle. As he fired his third shot I felt something smash into my arm. I looked down to see blood dripping...

    RRA AR15 9mm Dirty Brass

    I got to take my new 9mm RRA Ar15 out and put it through its paces today. It ran really well and was much more accurate that I expected. Only thing is that the brass it spits out is dirty. Not just a little blackened, but covered in soot. Is this normal?

    Ruger 10/22 light strike on primer

    Before my mods I had no problems whatsoever. Same ammo, same magazines, same everything. What I did do is recently add an over travel set screw to the trigger, and did the JB weld sear trick to my Ruger 10/22. The trigger is amazingly improved and has a nice clean break with very little...

    I am having a tough time disassembling a Remington model 24. I have the stocks and barrel off, but cant figure out how break it down any further. Any help would be great. LJH

    Two questions about lead fouling

    Years ago I purchased a box of 500 cast 230grain round nose 45acp. I loaded about half right after getting them home. I had no issues what so ever. Shot great, no fowling, no feed issues. I loaded the remainder to the exact same. Took them to the range and after about 50 rounds the slide...

    Supreme Court is to rule on the meaning of the Second Amendment. Anyone know how this is going to play out?:confused:

    Mini 14 Chop

    I have read that cutting down the Mini 14 barrel will improve accuracy. Does anyone know what the optimal length is? I can cut this down and crown it at the gas block if needed. I will machine and permanently attach a muzzle break to keep it 16+ inches.
