    Finshed a brake for my AR

    Not your conventional AR brake, but will tame recoil better than 90% of the tacticool brakes out there. Made from 3/4" 304 stainless. All my long range BR target barrels wear Harrell radial brakes. In the end, I should have spent the $30 to get a radial brake from Harrells. On manual...

    Extended bolt knob on Savage BVTS 22LR

    I've been working on making a bolt handle jig the past couple weeks and finished a few days ago. Figure I would try it out on my Savage BVTS 22. The end result is pretty darn nice and highly functional. I have a couple refinements to make on the jig and my machining process to make the next...

    Is it legal to install a muzzle brake if not a gunsmith?

    I've been asked by many people to install muzzle brakes on their barrels and keep turning them down. They are willing to pay. I am not a gunsmith nor do I have an FFL. I do have a lathe and mill and do my own benchrest stuff for myself only. Chamber, brakes, bedding and whatever else I need...

    Label Maker to Keep Your Reloading Stuff Organized!

    Not sure how many use a DYMO label maker, but I find it sure comes in handy in the reloading room for making all kinds of labels! They vary in price and can be picked up pretty cheap from Amazon and other stores. Label refills come in different colors...

    Brand New Redding Carbide Dies Shaving My 40 Cases Badly!

    Looks like manufacturers are jumping on the price wagon!

    I ordered a stripped upper from a vendor a couple weeks ago when their website said it was in stock. Well, I get an email today stating: "We are unable to complete this order as T***** I******* increased their prices by several hundred dollars so we can't even begin to restock these items at...

    Leupold M8 4x Extended Eye Relief Scope Question(rattle inside)

    I picked up a used Leupold M8 4x pistol scope for a super good price. I was told up from there might be something wrong with it. Well I shook it and there is definitely something rattling inside the tube. The elevation knob is a target style turret and windage is a conventional friction...

    Question regarding 44 mag loading

    I have a set of RCBS carbide dies and want to load 240 JHP bullets. My question is, do I need to expand the case mouth? I want to load as accurate as possible without over working the brass, especially at the mouth.

    Daly AR stripped lower?

    There is a local shop that has a Charles Daly AR lower for $149. I can't seem to find any comparables online since I believe Daly is no longer in business. Would it be wise to purchase that lower? I would have about the same amount into a lower if I ordered online since my shop charges...
