Never noticed before, but added a tubular mag QD sling swivel and notice free play in the mag tube. Side to side not lengthwise. Seems well anchored and not like threads screwing and unscrewing but more like a loosely pinned setup. Only moves about 1/16th turn from lock to lock. How is the...

What is the OD of a Lyman 17a front globe sight? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Measured at the non knurled body portion? Thanks. I'm trying to find inserts and I think my sight is a 17a. It is 9/16" diameter.

Measured at the non knurled body portion? Thanks. I'm trying to find inserts and I think my sight is a 17a. It is 9/16" diameter.

Naturally, there is no name on it and naturally, I have completely forgotten not only the brand but also where I put the inserts so I would remember where they were. I...think.... it's a Lyman. The rear is a Williams but so what? The body (not the knurled end) is 9/16" I have a bunch of...

I've mounted lots of sling swivels. Today I did one on my Win 9422. Good GRIEF! What wood did they use? Balsa? As grainy as it was, maybe REEDS!!! As soon as the threads of the QD stud "took" that stupid wood lifted up like a manhole cover. Brittle! Porous! JUNK wood. They called...

Bore sighted it and took it to range today. Heat doesn't seem to affect it. I'm pleased with it. This is GI ammo and good enuff for me. This is the Savage "package" .223 that came with the Simmons scope that I took off and replaced with my Nikon 4.5-14. 100 yards sandbag rest. 90...

I emailed Hi-Viz (who says on their site that they want product ideas) that they should make a .... BLACK ..... insert for their sights. I sent it a month ago and have had no reply. Sometimes you just don't want a bright glowing color. Doesn't a black one make sense? :confused:

One of my trapshooting squad was looking sorta peaked and I asked him what was the matter. He told me he thought that the night before was going to be "it." I know he has been in ill health and made many trips to ER. I asked how things were going and he told me the Dr. gave him another...

http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/14266683p-15078602c.html 1000 rounds to familiarize an officer with a new semi auto pistol!?!?!? Whatta they hiring? Retards? Add this to the study on how many of em are getting disability retirements from injurys sustained while riding their...

Couple weeks ago, I took my every 3 years required "legal update" course. It's the only time I qualify with a ...group... of people. The annual required qual can be done individually at any time so usually I am shooting alone (for qualification) at the range. All sorts of guns there. Mostly...

Considering the Rem SPS or the Savage 14 in .223 I like the Savage trigger but the Remington 24" bbl. However.... Rem lists the twist at 1-12 and Savage at 1-9 (which I always thought was the standard) What do you think about 1-12 for .223? :confused:

She obviously enjoys HUGE support. EVERYONE is a Dianne fan. Both Arnie and Angelides in Calif. like her. What the heck is it about her? Does she have a huge welfare constituency? :confused:

Couldn't figger out how to make it "firearm related" but still thought gun folks would enjoy seeing a live webcam of eagles in a nest. The bigguns come in and feed em every once in a while. http://www.infotecbusinesssystems.com/wildlife/ Now.... as to the gun. 12 gauge, 357 or 30-06? :D

I'll vote "keep" as it drives a wedge into the critics that say the National Guard is the "militia." "Bearing" can be done by guardsmen, "keeping" is more individual. ?????????

Price scares me as...too...cheap. Wierd problem. Anyone have one? Main considerations for me are does it have the adjustable trigger of the more expensive Remingtons? (the ones that have to be taken out and screws undone and redone and re-epoxied) Also how about holding "zero." Will...

Clayfish warned me in another thread. I have been using GI ball in the Savage varminter with no ill effect. What is the "danger?" I thought they were the same. I've also sent a few thousand through my Mini-14. What's the scoop? :confused: Edited to add that I am thinking of getting...

I am looking for a .223 bolt that will shoot moderately well at 100 yards. 1 to 2" is fine. Looked at a 24" Rem 700 that had a fairly stiff trigger but it was CRISP and seemed that it would be fine. Anything lighter? The shop used to carry the CZ but they don't any more. Recommendations...

My new Mk4B seems to have very shallow rifling. Is that normal? :confused:

I've found on Ruger site and Hi Viz site. Both about 40 bucks. That the best deal around? :confused:
