    Optics for an AR

    For up close, some type of red dot would be the fastest. For out to 200yds, some type of magnification would be nice. For a good compromise I'd look into an illuminated reticle 1-4 power scope. Look into a Millet DMS-1. Used, they can be found for under $200, new for about $239 or so. The...

    .223 Backed out primers

    I concur with rcmodel about the charge amounts and possible oversizeing. I use the RCBS Precision Mic because I reload for 5 AR's, so it makes it easier to measure fired cases and determine shoulder bump back. I also use one for the 2 .308's I reload for. The thing with the precision mic is...

    Cleaning rod, Tipton or Dewey? Also what Bore guide?

    I use the Dewey rods and haven't had any problems over the years. I also use the Lucas bore guides which are made for the specific rods that you're using.

    LNL AP Accessories?

    Since I only use the LnL AP for 2 calibers (.45 ACP and .223), I got an extra powder die, a powder cop die, a powder baffle, a dial caliper and an RCBS Precision Mic for .223. I also got a case feeder, which makes it all faster and easier. When processing .223, I use a universal decapping die...

    high or extra high

    There is a formula that will get you close. (Height of the front of the base to barrel) + (height to center of the rings) - (1/2 the actual outside diameter of the objective bell and cover) = a positive number will tell you how far off the barrel you will be for a straight barrel. The amount...

    ar-15 lower

    Aero Precision makes excellent lowers. They use to make lowers for Spikes and I believe Armalite and maybe some others. I've built at least 5 AR's using these lowers and all have be in spec. Aero Precision is also involved in the aero space industry.

    Winchester Moded 97 shotgun problem:

    I just went through this with a S&W 916a. It is a threaded ring that threads onto the slide tube. It might be rusted so use of some kind of penetrating oil might work. If you end up destroying it, a new one can be had at Numrich Gun Parts for about $5.

    ??? Headspace measurment ???

    The headspace is measured from the closed bolt face to the datum point, which is a point on the shoulder that is .400 in diameter. Btw, your brass needs trimmed. New brass should be 2.015" for .308. Trim length is 2.005".

    Gunshow Buys

    Last gun show I went to, I picked up a Remington m700 .243 for $315 otd. Used the action for a build. Will be going next weekend to look for one more for another build. Would really like to find another donor cheaper, but probably never happen. But you never know what you'll find.

    compass lake nm rifle

    The numbers on the bolt should match a number on the barrel. It' just used to identify a bolt that has been headspaced with that barrel. If you remove the NM free float tube, you should find some markings close to the barrel extension such as, CLE 10-02 1-8 and handscribed, some numbers that...

    Do you still have your first firearm?

    First gun given to me when I was 8 in 1960. Remington model 33. Currently trying to find a stock since mine broke. Cheap old gun, but it was my first. Brings back some old memories tagging along with Dad, trapping, fishing and just playing around. I'll always have it.

    Selling Bad Brass

    I take all my bad brass, decapped or not, along with all the knocked out spent primers to the recycler at a current price of $1.40/lb. When I first started recycling brass, I asked about the primers and all they said was as long as all the primers were spent I was go to go. Btw, the most I've...

    AR trigger DIY?

    Boosting your hammer at this point isn't going to help. Google "The 15 minute trigger job". I've done it to two of my ARs and works good. Some people would advise against because you cut one leg of the hammer spring and bend both trigger spring legs. The only problem I've had is misfires...
