Went to my local 100 yd range today with a series of reloads using known good bullets (Sierra 168 gr. BTHP Matchking) and varying powder charges to find the rifles favorite fodder. I got it down to 1 3/4" groups using 40 gr of 4895. However I find that the problem I face in getting better...

Took the new rifle to the local range Sunday. Spent 4 hours shooting 1 round / cleaning / shooting 1 round / cleaning / and on and on. Slow going but worthy for the future. Now while I was doing that, I also sighted in the scope. I used a Nikko Stirling 4 ~ 16 X 52. I did not boresight the...

I bought a Beretta 21 A - Inox a few weeks ago for a pocket pistol and plinking fun pistol. What a blast it is to shoot! (pun intended) So far, it has had no jams, failures etc at all. It's sights are minimal, barely functional but With care, it will shoot nice groups. With instinctive point...

The DPMS LR 308B (AR 10) that I ordered three months ago and was told "24 weeks for delivery" arrived yesterday, three months premature. The Nikko Stirling 4 ~ 16 scope arrived on the same day. What a co-incidence! The rifle now rests in my safe after an afternoon of cleaning, lubricating...

Gentlemen; I am doing my due diligence preparing for the AR10 rifle I ordered and awaiting delivery of (DPMS LR 308B, in about 3 months) I am investigating scopes for it and have come down to a couple of scopes that meet my criteria. One of the differences between two of them of similar...

What is the function of this optional part on this rifle? I have a DPMS LR 308B on order (6 month wait) and the gas block is one of the options. For target rifle use, is a gas block worthy? Roger

Gentlemen; I have an M-1 Garand that I purchased through the DCM (before it was the CMP) Overall, it's in NRA good condition, reliable and fairly accurate. (4" groups @ 100yd) The rifling at the muzzle has been worn away probably by many GIs cleaning it. I want to replace the barrel with a new...

Thanks to the feedback from this group, the rifle I have ordered will have a trigger upgrade, Cryogenic treated barrel, Hogue hand grip and an adjustable gas block. Now all I must do is to endure the long long wait for the rifle to be made. And I thought I'd finished standing in line when I...

I have ordered a DPMS LR 308B AR style rifle with 18" bull barrel. It's due in about 4 months. Meanwhile, I wish to begin building an ammunition stock so when I get it I'll have lots of fodder for fun & targets. I Know that with my DCM, M1 heavy bullets and / or slow powders are not...

I've been needing to scratch an itch for a couple of years now. I have an M1 Garand (DCM) and an M1 carbine (not GI) & a couple of .22 rifles. I wanted an autoloading "Black" rifle. Not in .223. Last week I went to my friendly local gunshop & ordered a DPMS LR 308 B. (18" stainless bull...
