I ordered some Magpul PMAGS from Smith & Wesson on December 28th. I wonder if I'll ever get those? The last time I contacted them I got the canned response; no word on lead time. Anybody else got a better feel for the situation?

This is the only pic I have of it at the moment.

What's the deal with these and bullet diameter? An acquaintance of mine here at the office is putting together his first reloading rig. He's down to needing some bullets. I offered to help him find something (or at least a decent source) for bullets. He's got everything else. Will .308...

I don't know if I should have just known better given the times or if I should be upset or just have a beer and go about my merry way. I ordered some FAXM193BK from Natchez a while back. Based on this: "XM193 product is first run, first quality product manufactured at Lake City Army...

My message(s) to Senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell: I believe in my heart that you stand behind your oath... "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to...

NRA sticker.. In KY. I don't think it'll be a problem round' here. Plus... People tell me I look angry all the time. Lol. Honestly. Do I look angry? :) ~Mark

Hey y'all, Been reloading for my .308 for almost a year now. LOVE IT. I'd like to put my Lee Turret to work on some .223 whenever stuff calms down. I'm gonna use the down time hopefully to get what I need together for this. For my .308, I settled on best practice being: 1) Partial...

Twas a cold and windy day on the range this morning; that didn't keep me from being impressed with the first groups out of this new Mossberg MMR Hunter. The MMR Hunter is chambered 5.56 NATO and has a 1 in 9" twist 20" free floated heavy barrel (not as heavy as some, but it's no pencil). I...

Lol. Tahunua... It really happened! And thanks for the bullet weight recommendation. Gives me a place to start (assuming I find any). ~Mark

Just bought a 2nd hand never been fired Mossberg MMR Hunter. Still has factory grease oozing out of seams. Original owner ordered it and decided he wanted a carbine. Win for me. I was originally wanting a carbine as well, but now that I hold this thing, I'm thinking it deserves a scope and...

I posted about my weird success yesterday in this thread: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5300498#post5300498 Shooting .308 Winchester; 168gr Nosler Ballistic Tip over 43.5 gr Varget; velocity unknown but they group very very well on paper. The shot was inside of 50 yards...

Nobody would believe this if my brother-in-law hadn't been tagging along... My second year hunting. I wanted two does this year. I don't really care to hunt for bucks; don't get me wrong, if I see one that's not puny, I'll take it. But since opening day on the 10th, I'd seen absolutely...

I put three of these 15 rd groups down today; this one being the best. The worst was 0.72 moa. Pretty nice. :D Remington 700 SPS 20" with extra goodies.

Habitat Photo Update: This is something I've been debating for a long time. I finally broke down, masked off the action and optic, slammed a motivational beer, and started spraying. I think it's turned out pretty well so far. Still need to comb Lexington for a can of matte clear, so the...

FYI. These people are awesome. Figured I'd better double check this before a paint job goes down. These people really... really... stand behind their product. Others might do the same.. but it's another feather in their cap for me. I've got two of their products so far, and they're great.

I'm really envious of this guys setup. Envious. It may get locked, but I couldn't help myself. :D

Waited. Saw. And I've decided that there's not a whole lot a determined SOB can't do with a Dremel. A steady hand and three hours later, this rifle's got a detachable mag. :). It works. Really really well. Had to remove quite a bit of material. Fit was nowhere close to right. Pretty happy...

Hey y'all, I've got a CDI precision detachable mag setup coming in the mail today for my 700. The rifle currently has a HS Precision PST012 stock, and I don't know if it will require inletting or not. I've got an idea of how it all goes down; watched a few videos where a CNC mill is used. I...

Wow. Wow. OMG. Wow. I pulled up to the range today towards the end of a youth shoot. As I was setting up, they were clearing out. One of the instructors hauls this gargantuan thing out of the back of his pickup. Things went slow-mo. I was doing my thing 8 lanes over when he let the...

I came across a box of 190gr SMK for my 700 SPS 20" .308. I've read that even with 1:12, some rifles have good luck with them. Not knowing where to start with Varget, I referred to Hodgdon's web site and to my Lyman 49th. Lyman says 38.5 to 42.8C (60,200PSI), 2.775" COAL (which seems short...
