I would like to know what this box was is. I bought it at a shop not farm from the Millville Airport (First defensive airport) a couple days ago. I thought that the burning bomb imprint meant that it was from Springfield Armory. Top says "smokeless powder for cannon". Would this have held the...

I need to till up some remote food plots. I am wondering about the Groundhog Max ATV discs https://www.groundhogmax.com/ The area is Tioga County PA. Ground is usually damp or wet but its small mountains with a lot of slate type rock mixed in. I see plenty of farms in the valleys but my property...

I have never had the pleasure to check out a 2011 in person. Outside of competitive shooting do they have practical uses? Are they to heavy to be a EDC for someone like a LEO who likes the 1911 platform but needs a few more rounds?

I was lucky enough to win one in an auction for a very reasonable price. Unfortunately the top cover and front stock have been sporterized. Thus the reason for the low price. Other than that the rifle is beautiful and shoots very well. I am wondering if anyone knows of or where a military stock...

Building a 700. I would like to change out the bolt handle and maybe flute the bolt. How is the handle attached to the bolt? Is it simply silver soldered? Also, when fluting the bolt. How deep can I go? I am thinking a 1/8 ball mill about .06 deep with 6 cuts. Anything I should consider or look...

I have never chronograph any of my loads. I have always stayed well within published load data and so far I have been happy. But I want to push the abilities of my current 6.5x55 rifle build. Question is do I need a chronic to do this? Question 2 is at what price point is a chronograph a...

I ordered a detachable mag for my 700adl 30-06 from Pacific Tool. A week later they were kind enough to let me know that its a 4-8 week leed time. I attempted to change over to one of the other kits they offer thinking that it may be in stock. The people they have answering the phones are less...

Anyone reloading for the swede? I am building a 700 with a 24" bull 1-10 twist. Plan on running the heavier 140-142 bullets. I would love to here some good starting points. I am using the PP factory loads to break in and will also be using that brass at least for preliminary reloads.

Jump in price with ant given manufacturer is pretty significant once you choose FFP. Is there an advantage to a FFP othe than range finding? With the markup I could easily buy a dedicated range finder and still be under the cost difference of going to a FFP. I should mention in this case I am...

I am building a 700 action. I think I'm going to replace the bolt with a tighter fitting pt bolt. I know it's overkill. But, I want to address everything. Stock bolt has about .01" diameter of clearance. I am considering honing the receiver and getting the bolt to have a clearance of...

700 with PTG detachable box mag and bull barrel. The rifle has the original ADL walnut stock. Nothing wrong with that stock but I would prefer something more along the lines of a varmint stock. I checked with boyds and they have some thumbhole style solutions. I have done the google and found...

I started with the "out of box accuracy thread" but I felt this needed new attention. I have opted to go to a 6.5mm rifle. 260 rem, 6.5x55, 6.5 creed. I found the ideal setup Tikka T3x varminter. Unfortunately they do not import them into the us in any 6.5 cartridges even though they list them...

I am going to buy a rifle for accuracy. High budget $1100 but prefer to spend less. I expect in the furture I will upgrade it but I would like sub MOA to start. I had planned on building something but time just doesnt allow as of now. I would prefer to take the little time I have and use it to...

Scandium 357's longevity I am curious about the life expectancy of scandium and other light weight 357's. This would be a SD weapon and not a high volume range gun. However, I believe that one should be proficient with their SD handgun. In this case it would be a last resort BUG/boot gun...

My son is currently in the academy. Part of my promise to him is that I will buy him any backup to his issued pistol that he would like. Seeing as I live in NJ (no carry) a carry weapon has never been something that I would be concerned with. I would love some input. Neither he or I are fans of...

I posted some time ago about this same issue. I have finally found the time to address it. I bought the rifle for $100 without a safety. Ordered several from numerich before getting what I think is the correct one. When the rifle is cocked and set the safety the striker moves back slightly and...

I looked at a 71/84 yesterday in very nice condition. I ended up with a chance to buy it and I am not sure. I have decided to hold my collection to Hungarian rifles and handguns. And some new stuff. We all need limits. Left side of receiver stamped JG Mod 71/84 Barrel stamped 10.95, chamber area...

Effect of crimp on pressure. I loaded mix headstamp for my 460, I won't do again. Anyway, the crimp on the longer brass is visible dealer on the longer brass. COAL is still longer than min. Basically I loaded 20 rounds and set 5 aside that have a very heavy crimp. These are hunting rounds so the...

Today I was loading 460s&w with my load master in single stage mode. Min coal is 2.160 with 300gr xtp mag and w296. I can't remember if I had this problem in the last batch. But today I was ranging between. 2.164 and 2.171. I figure I'm safe. But, how does this effect accuracy. I weigh every...

As its my heritage im intrigued by all Hungarian guns from the great war to nearly present. Anyway I see Hungarian 35M's being listed as made in Budapest (Feg) also find the 43Ms. The problem I have is the price they seem to bring. I would like to pick one up to add to my collection of Magyar...
