Hi all I recently tung oiled my new Walnut stock for my CMP Garand. I used Real Milk Paint company pure tung oil mixed 50-50 with mineral spirits. They said 10 days to cure with a full cure at 30 days. Does curing mean weatherproofing or can I shoot it? I mean the tung oil after 10 days or so...

Can anyone recommend a long sleeve shooting shirt with padded elbows and shoulder patch Etc? I have seen rather lightweight ones sold on the Appleseed site that would be good for summer work but they are out of my size. I have an event coming up and wonder what your recommendations are that...

Hi all. I just picked up one of these on the cheap for my 10/22 Target. From what I can tell and have read these old Japanese scopes are pretty good. It is cloudy this morning and I was able to tell the detail on Bluebird houses very clearly at 125 yards. Seems like very good glass to me. Can...

Hi. I am considering getting a Howa Mini 1500 223 barreled action and dropping it in one of these. What is the difference between the Featherweight and Varmit models? Thank you.

Recommendations? Do they wear out? If reproduction, which ones? Thank you.

Hi all. I have my 16" CAR set to zero at 25 meters which should re zero approx 250 according to my understanding. Battle Sight Zero says to bottom my rear sight on the 6/3, use the larger aperture for 0-200 and smaller for 300 plus. So if I move out to 300 I am to flip to small aperture and dial...

Hi all. I am still looking for a decent bolt gun. I was almost settled on a Tikka T3x Varmit, but magazine capacity is an issue. I have also read that their higher capacity mags have been unreliable. I want one I can shoot Appleseed with. That requires 10 round. I am aware of the Mossberg MPV...

Hi all. At my last Appleseed we determined that my front sight was about 12moa. If I recall a 3moa sight should be about the width of a man at 300 yards. This is a good way to guage unknown distances without a range finer. I also think going to a smaller front blade should help with accuracy...

Is there a quick release system that will work with this mounts? Or do I have to modify them. I think the Garand's will unscrew, but the AR look like a rivet. I will if I have to I guess. I want to be able to change slings quickly from the Hasty while standing to the Loop sling for sitting/prone...

Embarrassingly enough I am a little intimidated by the break down. My beautiful wife gave me a CMP Garand for Christmas that I still haven't taken down. I need to go through it like the manual says and tung oil the stock a few times. I am fairly handy and have done some trigger work etc to other...

Hi all. Long story short: I bought and gave this to my father for his birthday about 25 years ago. He passed away a little over 2 years ago. His widow soiled on me and ceased all communication including banning me from his property and keeping his things. At the time of his death I was smart...

Well I got a new 442 and was comparing it with my mothers Bodyguard .38. She brought it to me and I unloaded it or so I thought. I had the trigger smoothed on my 442 so I went to compare them. First pull nothing and I thought wow, I am glad I got my trigger smoothed. Second pull Bang! Apparently...

Hi all. I am getting interested in what is for me long range shooting. I live in the east so that is not the easiest thing to do. Currently I have access to 400 yard range and 6-1000 yard is not a horrible drive if I get into this. I am not looking to spend a ton of money or build an F Class...

The earlier thread got me thinking about them, but I don't want to hijack. Here is my dilemma: I have narrowed my choice down to a surplus from someone like CDI which has great reviews. Seems like they have good ones for about $400. Or I have found another source that was recommended that...

Hi all. It seems that the stock post on my AR is about 12 MOA. I have learned that to be about 1 Minute of Man at 300 yards I need a 7 MOA post. I have looked at how to replace the sight. My question is can you buy specific sights like that and is the taper the same on all sights where they seat...

Hey all. My beautiful wife gave me this for Christmas/Birthday! It's a 1942 Service Grade from the CMP. Remarkable condition. I heard the Service Grade's were nice but this one truly blew me away when I opened the case. I am not a collector, so maybe the little things matter, but not to me. I...

Hi all. I sent in a check for a Service Grade Garand before they sold out. I was told that all orders before x date would be placed in back order status. I was before that date. All I am getting from emailing the CMP is they will email me once the order is processed. Does anyone know what that...

Hi all. I am looking for a .223 bolt and have narrowed it down I think to the Howa 1500, Tikka T3, or Ruger American. I do a bit of Appleseed and my main concern is the pressure put on the stock when using a sling properly. Can anyone attest to this? Shooting off the bench is one thing, but...

Hi. Does anyone have recent/current experience with this? I have ordered a Garand and am curious. The wait is killing me. :)

Can you guys recommend a good one? 3 or 4 adjustments? I have a BPS that is very close to fitting me, just need raise it a little. Also is this something I can do on my own, or do I really need to seek out a gun fitter for truly proper fit? Thanks.
