    My Saiga 12 conversion

    This is Saiga build by Cadiz Gun Works. It was there for warranty work (vodka special) so I figured I would get a professional conversion. I tried to get some close-ups of the nice finishing work where the welded the holes and ground them down and refinished. I also got a krebs ghost ring...

    Got a chuckle from Sportsman's Guide Catalog - Counter Sniper Scopes

    I was browsing the Sportsman's Guide today just procrastinating from grading a mountain of papers and I see that Counter Sniper Scopes are now USGI and you can get the 3-25x56 model with "14 total lenses" for the bargain basement price of $689.97. They originally cost the US government...

    For all you M14 and garand guys I found a great grease

    I've had a couple people ask me so I figure i would post it... I know everyone has their favorite products but I have been using this stuff on my truck for months now and it is great. I use it on my M1A now too. I used to use a standard lithium grease (same stuff I greased my driveshafts...

    Man I've been busy and missed the new variable Super Sniper

    Wow looks good. The 3-9x mag is a bit low but they made it specifically as a competitor in the DMR military scope role so that is what the military wants. The specs are impressive... It has a 30mm tube, 1/10 mil turrets (yes it is a mil/mil scope), First Focal Plane, and mil dot...

    Pointers on getting my AR running properly

    I'm an M1a guy so forgive me... So I took my new Bushmaster out this weekend for the first time and it was pretty dismal. The first mag was fine but then every round after that jammed on the way out or in or did not feed at all. It seemed the bolt was not going back far enough to get behind...

    Sub MOA LRB M25 at 1000 yards

    I must have a fever (or my new Bushmaster)

    I always said ARs are not for me ;) ... Well I found myself at my FFL today because he got in a couple new rifles. He had mentioned a while ago that he was on the shortlist to get some Bushmaster AR's so I said heck it will be tax time so give me a call when you get them. Lately I have been...

    Finally got my M1A stock finished well

    Well I have been working on my Boyd's M1A stock for a while now. First I had to sand down some of the finish because SAI had it dyed so dark you could not see the wood grain and the original finish was dull and rough. I have a ton (over 20) coats of BLO with sanding at first and then steel...

    Funny I just looked on Gubroker for .308 for the 1st time in a while

    I have stayed away from Gunbroker since the election, except to dump my own scraps. Man people are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I have not seen so much Indian, Israeli, rusty DAG, corrosive etc. crap ever on Gunbroker. Buyer beware. I wonder if we are going to hear of any...

    James McMurtry Lyrics - Choctaw Bingo

    Funny I was listening to James McMurtry's song "Choctaw Bingo" the other day and I had to laugh when he sing about the guy who buys an "sks rifle and a couple full cases of that steel core ammo with them Berdan primers from some east block country that no longer needs them". Then he goes onto...

    Polychoke for bubba'd barrel

    So I posted on Friday about the Savage 645 12 gauge I picked up for $30. The barrel has been cut down to 21" with a pipe cutter. I am thinking of turning this into my Turkey and pheasant gun and a backup slug gun. I looked into getting the end threaded for a choke and it was around $90. So I...

    New to pistols can anyone recommend a good pistol to start with?

    I am not new to firearms but I am new to pistols (shot them a lot as a kid and teenager but have not handled one in a while). I am very informed about rifles and shotguns of all types but am out of the loop when it comes to pistols. I lived in NYC for many years and never was able to get a...

    So I was hanging with a fishing buddy of mine in school today between classes and he asked if I wanted to buy a shotgun his father Bubba'd. I said no at first and then he told me he would sell it to me for $30 and he got my interest. So here is the back story on this shotgun. It's a Savage...
