    Ruger AR556 no drop in trigger.

    I have a Ruger Ar556 MPR and I don't like the 452 elite trigger but when I went searching for a good drop in trigger I ran into a few reviews 1 or Timney and another for a different brand saying the drop in triggers didn't fit. I found some reviews that said they did so I emailed Ruger and...

    Ar grip for big hands?

    I took out my Ruger Ar556 MPR today for the first time. Once I got the scope dialed in near the bullseye I tried to shoot some groups. Well I had some that were dime size, then quarter and then yuck. It didn't seem to do what I expected. The largest group that I had which was still a group was...

    File cocking piece Timney Trigger install.

    I bought a Timney 201 featherweight trigger for my dads Columbian mauser R. FAMAGE 1952 and unlike the M1917 I did it wasn't just a drop in and go. With the trigger installed when fired the cocking piece would only slide forward a bit and stop. The directions say to file the cocking piece to get...

    Pacific Case Trimmer 222

    I picked up a Pacific case trimmer like the one in the picture last week on ebay because I'm kind of tired of using the Lee case length gauges and was looking at a Lyman which I might regret not buying but are these decent? It came with a 30 caliber pilot and 222 shell holder. I already...

    Acraglas Gel

    Just bedded my rifle and I was looking at the directions and it said I can remove the action from the stock in 10 hours and shoot after 2 days. Is it going to be any easier or harder to remove after 10 hours? Was thinking about setting it and forgetting it for a few days just to make sure it's...

    Mossberg 935 Magnum is good in my book.

    For about a year I searched left and right for a shotgun that I preferred to be a 3 1/2 inch magnum 12 gauge. I looked at a few pumps and then convinced myself into autos. Browning, Franchi, Winchester, Stoeger, Benelli, Remington.. In the end the Mossbergs fit my requirements and since I have...

    Semi bolt handle weight

    I have a mossberg 935 and I wanted a larger tactical bolt handle. Not really for tactical use but something bigger to grab onto when hunting. How much does weight play into the factor. The stock one is 124 grains and the Elite tactical one is 244 grains. Haven't had a chance to shoot...

    Lee Hand Press Junk

    Lee Hand Press I have been using a Lee Hand Press for 4 or so years now and I decided to do something dumb while converting some brass and it almost did it but long story short I cracked the breech lock side. In a hail Mary I emailed Lee over the weekend and in the process of late night...

    Pistol scope recomendations wanted.

    Does anyone use a pistol with a scope for hunting? If so can you recommend a scope that fits well in shooting 25-75 yards? Currently using a red dot but I hate dead batteries yet i've never had any in the field.

    Ruger Mark 3 or 4

    If you were in the market for a 22 would you buy a bare bones Mark 3 for $300 new or spend the extra and go for the easier take down Mark 4? I'm sure both guns are great but i'm curious if cleaning ease is worth the extra dollars. I haven't seen a bare bones Mark 4 so I don't know the asking...

    I hate... Timney Triggers.

    Today I installed a Timney Trigger in a U.S. Model of 1917 made by Winchester and wow am I impressed on how much better it made the trigger pull feel for $53. I hate how good this trigger is. Only wish I did it sooner. And it only took a bit of sanding on the stock to make room. Like 2 minutes...

    Scope Height.

    I like a lot of military rifles but in most the bent bolts aren't bent enough for good clearance. I'm planning on swapping scopes on a Winchester U.S. Model of 1917 and it looks like I have some room to play when adding a 3-9x40. Right now it has Leupold see through rings on it. The specs say...
