Yet another beauty barrel courtesy of Northland Shooter's Supply. I had barely hung up the phone from ordering when an e-mail notice was posted that it was on its way. Since I was never happy with my vanguard first light--decided to try and make a Savage in 300 wby mag.

Front came through today with winds blowing 18-25 mph and very gusty. I was itching to get some 22lr satisfaction and despite the windy conditions was determined to have some fun. So I came up with the idea "Since aguila interceptor is so much faster than the Tac 22 and spends less time in the...

I bought a weatherby vanguard first light in 300 weatherby magnum when it came out (it's basically a howa 1500) and have never been satisfied with the way it shot. I've shot a lot of weatherbys in that caliber so I'm no stranger to it. I love weatherbys--among my favorite rifles. But this one is...

I use this ammo mainly to test supersonic pressure tolerances in rifle chambers. Just for grins and out of curiosity--I stacked a 2 x 4 and 2 half-inch compressed wood boards to see what the bullet would do and shot them at about 2 feet. I just assumed the thin jacket would peel off and the lead...

I built a 284 win AR some years ago and was looking around for it but couldn't find it--I thought maybe I'd lost it or worse yet maybe it was stolen. I finally found the barrel in the barrel rack and couldn't for the life of me remember why I had taken it apart--other than the short action...

22lr is a bit of a cult--used to be more shooters here on this forum that discussed it but that group has seemingly dwindled (partially due to stiff resistance to creating a separate rimfire subforum IMO :rolleyes:). I guess most serious rimfire addicts eventually end up on rimfire central. So...

One pistol already converted--this is the next project, my 300 BO pistol which is being converted into a 223 Wylde rifle. Picked up the Satern 20" barrel yesterday--my first go with one of their barrels--and must say from examining the bore I'm extremely impressed. For a button rifled bore the...

Ive already decided to convert one of my pistols to a conventional stocked rifle--decided to try a satern barrel in 223 Wylde--neither of which I've ever used before. I've shied away from satern up till now because of the whole "grendel wars" thing when everyone was trying to bootleg their way...

The latest podcast by Hornady is excellent and does a great job putting some complex variables into easy to understand explanations.

MDT now makes an electronic trigger--programmable and rechargeable. I've never though of that--should be interesting.

I've never had a S&W revolver--thinking about making this possibly my first. and go!....

Savage has entered the 1911 fray--look forward to reviews from people who have tried them out.

Has anyone here ever used it--or know of anyone who has used it--to successfully develop a new cartridge?

New wood stock with modern features of a one piece metal chassis. I've always wanted something like this; tried the at-one and it fell far short of my expectations. At pretty close to a grand a pop though I don't know if these will fly off the shelf, plus they are aimed only at rem 700...

Yet another contender in the PRC game--I bet this one will be a winner and I'd love to try it. I predict the 25 PRC will die a quiet death, especially now that Blackjack has folded its doors and stiffed everyone that had backorders.

I haven't shot this build for a while, but found some cases primed and ready to go. After loading 95 gr vlds propelled by varget I discovered that I somehow endeavored to lose the magazine--not a good thing since MDT's mags are quite expensive. It's a savage axis fitted with an EABCO barrel and...

Miserable rainy day today--so why not go out and shoot my little 44 mag rossi? I've been shooting 240 xtp's driven by H110 for so long I decided it was time to try something different: 220 Extreme Penetrators driven by AL 2400. This much abused lever gun is probably the most heavily bubbatized...

Of all the firearms I've ever purchased and looked so much forward to--my winchester model 70 is the biggest heartbreaker of them all. I dreamed of having one for a long time and honestly never looked forward to getting a rifle as much as this one. I had worked on an old win 70 that was...

This picture of Ukranian troops popped up on NYT today--that machine gun in the background looks just like a German WW2 era MG42.

I've built lots of them in both xx15 and xx308 flavors--and I think this simple blowback 9mm is probably among my personal favorites. It's a simple blowback build and uses the Colt magwell adapter in a conventional multi-cal lower which I think is the best way to go for a home-grown 9mm build...
