    Synthetic Stock that Balances Like Wood

    Help me out. I really prefer the weight and balance of wood stocks. However, I don’t like hunting in cold/wet weather with them. Been trying to find a synthetic stock that mimics the density and weight of a wood stock, but can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I own rifles with McMillan...

    Barrel Extremely Heat Sensitive

    Hey guys, I have a Win Model 70 in 270 WSM. It's glass bedded in a McMillan stock... and I'm still having issues with heat sensitivity. My first shot is always where I want it, but any follow up shot without letting the barrel cool for a matter of minutes will be way off whack. I'm talking...

    Is AmmoLiquidator a Scam?

    I placed a significant order at AmmoLiquidator over a month ago and have not received my order. I have also not received a call or email back the numerous times I have contacted their customer service. Has anyone else experienced this? This is my first time ordering from them, so I have...

    H1000 - Where does it fit?

    I've tried loaded H1000 in the following calibers, and it's given me horrible groups in all of them: - 260 Rem - 270 Win - 6.5x55 Swede - 270 WSM I think that's it. What cartridges do you guys use H1000 and find success? I have a bunch of it on the shelf and would love to find it's sweet...

    CZ 527 Conversion to 6.8 SPC

    Guys and gals, I've decided that I need a CZ 527 chambered in 6.8 SPC. The 527 Carbine is probably my favorite bolt gun, and it's the perfect platform this round. I've done a bunch of reading elsewhere online and have seen that others have cobbed them together using the 527 in 223 as the...

    Help - Stuck Round

    Hey guys, Long story short, I have a live round stuck in my Glock barrel and I can't remove it. I tried pliers, but it's really jammed. If I stick a dowel in the barrel and tap with a hammer, do I risk detonating the round? I have a vested interest in not shooting myself. Thanks. Any tips...

    Improvements?

    In this thread I'm going to do two things I don't often do: 1. Pretend that gun companies care about my opinion. 2. Praise Glock. It seems to me like the firearms industry is in a race with itself. Companies are trying to out-feature, out-innovate, and out-gimmick each other in an effort to...

    Training With Airsoft

    I grew up playing airsoft with my cousins. We chased each other around the woods, pretended we were Navy SEALS, and tried not to lose any eyes. Now that I've been shooting "real" guns for almost 10 years, I'm circling back to my roots. I recently purchased a C02 operated CZ P01, which is an...

    Those "Other" Brands

    Changing the wording of my question to be a bit less inflammatory, and to steer the conversation slightly differently. I'm a firm believer in buying "good" handguns. I own CZs, Colts, Sigs, FNs, S&Ws, Walthers, and H&Ks. I've owned others, but these have proven their reputations for quality...

    CZ P10c Availability Watch

    As someone who's been waiting for the P10c with less than absolute patience, now that they're supposedly on American soil, I'm pretty pumped. I was thinking it would be helpful for me (and for the shooting community) to have a place to keep each other up to date on when and where we can...

    FNS9 Muzzle Issue

    Just purchased a new FNS9L. I shot my buddy's compact and had to get one... but bigger. Anyways, I have yet to fire the gun and noticed what appears to be an issue with the muzzle. There's a portion where the bluing (or coating) is missing. It's like someone re-reamed part of the muzzle after...

    Hunting with a Single Shot

    Guys and gals, I've had my eye on a Ruger #1 for a while now and am thinking it would be really neat to deer hunt with one. I've never had to take more than 1 shot at a deer.... but I haven't been doing this as long as some of you. Here are my questions: - How many of you use a Ruger #1 (or...

    Unintentional Double Taps

    I purchased a Walther PPQ 45 a few months ago and fell in love. The trigger is "great". However, now that I've put close to 500 rounds through it, the trigger is so light that I've been getting unintentional double taps at the range. Meaning, I try to pull the trigger once and the gun is going...

    Single Action: Jammed Beyond Repair

    I purchased my first SA revolver yesterday. It's a Taylors Smokewagon (a version of the Uberti Cattleman). It feels so awesome in the hand and I was pumped to shoot it. The first six rounds went off great (pretty accurate too), but on the 8th shot the gun jammed up. It's completely locked up...

    At What Temperature is Load Testing Safe?

    I've spent the winter developing test loads for several of my guns. I started at the listed minimum and increased in 0.5 or 1.0 grain increments (depending on the acceptable ranger for each cartridge) up to the listed book max. So now I have a bunch of loads I'll shoot, select which powder...

    My Personal Gun Buying Plan

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to buy lots and lots of guns, but also realizes that moderation is important. Just because I can buy it, doesn't mean I should. So I've developed a system that helps me decide which guns to focus my attention and funds on at any given time. I've shared...

    Looking for my First Single Action Revolver

    Hey gang, looking for some advice. I'd like to purchase my first SA revolver for kicking around at the range and having fun with. I've had some S&W DAs before, but have zero experience with SA revolvers. Here's what I'm looking for: - Classic old west type look, color case hardened would be...

    What Else Can I Hunt?

    I grew up in a family that did NOT hunt. As a first generation hunter, everything I know has been gleaned off of friends and forums. Where I live in upstate NY, deer hunting is a big deal and I'm finally finding some success there, but I don't have any good friends who hunt other species...

    Light Rifles and Heavy Pistols

    Was just looking over my current assortment of firearms and realized that my favorite handguns are all on the heavy side... and my favorite rifles are all really small and lightweight. How about you guys?

    RCBS - Inconsistent Powder Throws

    Hey all, I have an RCBS Uniflow powder dispenser that I've just started using. I'm having a heck of a time trying to get it to throw uniform charges. I mean, it's bad. I'll dial it in at 40 grains... but it will shoot 39.7, 40.2, 40, 40.4, etc on consecutive throws of the lever. I'm trying to...
