    S&W 442 Cylinder Issue

    Hi all I have a 442-1 that barely has 2 boxes through it. I hadn’t shot it since last year and yesterday pulled it out of my safe to wipe down and oil. I had a pair of pants that was more conducive to pocket carry so I went to load it and the cylinder is very difficult to swing open or close...

    Sillouette Small Bore Rifle

    Hey all. So I dropped in to a local match just to check it out with the intention of shooting it next month as I had never shot one before. They offered me a spot on the line so I informally just felt things out, shot the stages and tried to stay out of their way. Needless today I had a blast...

    Adjustment Dials Wrong Leupold

    Hi all. I bought a used FX II fixed 4x33 because I wanted a blued one for my CZ527. It appears that the dials are on the wrong turrets. Windage is on the side as it should be but is labeled Up. Threw me for a Loop. Are they changeable? A factory error? Someone else do it? Don’t know that I like...

    Eastern NC Long Range Rifle?

    Hi all. Are there any ranges that offer 2-1000 yds or somewhere in between? I am in Wilmington. I know that they have matches out at Stone Bay on LeJeune, but I would love a club atmosphere to spend a day and meet people, work up loads etc. I am aware of Anthill and Buccaneer. Even pay to play...

    Readers Eye Glasses?

    Hi all I have reached the age where it is difficult to even focus on this screen! I need readers to read, but see to distance just fine. I have no problem focusing on a scope but I cant see the front sight on my AR anymore. I still can on a Garand due to longer sight radius only. My issue is if...

    Help fighting the school ?

    To make it short one of our local administrators told the students that if they had an assembly they would be “easy targets”for the March 14 walk out. The local schools have been cramming anti-gun rhetoric down the kids ever sinceb the Florida shooting. That is all they can talk about and they...

    What are your methods?

    Hi all. As previously stated I have loaded some 9mm with Win 231. To me that is pretty straight forward. Good enough for plunking and IDPA is all I need. I have 4 rifles (2 different calibers) I need to work up loads for. I am looking for a regimented way to keep it all organized. I figure I...

    Lithium Grease in Barrel?

    Hi all. I just paid for me what is good money for a CZ 527 American in .223. I know that there is no real consensus on barrel break in and everybody has different opinions, but I was doing some reading on cleaning and accuracy and came across this site. Part 4 talks about swabbing a clean barrel...

    Target 20 AR Barrel

    Hi all. I think I am going to start the build of a target AR. All I now is at this point it will be a 20 inch 1:7 or 8 twist with a fixed stock and a Vortex 4-12 Diamondback on top. Those that run 20 inch barrels do you typically run 7 or 8 twist? Most barrels are the 8 twist. Also I am...

    What is your experience with PSA?

    Palmetto State Armory. I am tempted to order an upper from them, but their reviews are horrible. At least in terms of service, communication and shipping.

    Cheap Cleaning Rod Issue?

    Hi all. I got a one piece .22 cleaning rod from Walmart. On the end of it is a little adapter that screws on so you can put different size accessories on it. The problem is that is a little larger than the rod itself, is made of some kind of cheap alloy and has a waffled type surface for grip. I...

    How to adust POI on an old Sears Model 5?

    Hi all. I have my Dad's Sears Model 5 (Winchester 150) that is the one I introduce the kids to shooting with. Problem is that it shoots a little high and to the right. The rear buck horn sight won't go any lower so I guess my only option now that I think about it is to replace the front sight...

    Sqib Load in G19.

    Hi all. I loaded some 115 FMJ with Win 231 and CCI primers. Off the top of my head I can't remember how many grains at the moment. Anyway I had a squib in my Glock yesterday and the bullet only got maybe an inch into the barrel and stopped. I punched it out going the direction of the rifling and...

    Scope Recommendation CZ 527 .223

    Hi all. I just picked up this beautiful rifle that I had on layaway. Mostly this rifle will be used for punching paper 100-600 yards. They only other use may be Coyotes, but I would need decent target acquisition as well. I am thinking Leupold simply because of their warranty, reputation, and...
