    Anyone ever buy from Kiesler's Online?

    If so how was their service and delivery? They have a set of Meprolight sights that I have been looking for at a great price ($65), but I had never heard of them until yesterday. Would you buy from them again? Thanks, Jack

    I'm confused about Kimber night sights...

    I decided that a set of night sights would make a good Christmas present for me. I've been reading around trying to decide what would be the best ones to get and the answer consistently seems to be Trijicon. I went to their website to see if they make a sight for the Kimber Classic Custom...

    Please tell me about flash suppressors

    I kept hearing that the DC murderer had a flash suppressor. Are suppressors legal or what? Is it possible that he had some sort of recoil reducing device instead of a flash suppressor? Also, I have never fired a gun out in the dark. Would his rifle really have had any muzzle flash or is that...

    DOH! GA hunters please help!

    Just damn. I found out this week that the lease I picked up through Temple-Inland isn't mine to hunt on. I first got the lease in March for a prorated amount, then I renewed the lease in July. As it turns out T-I doesn't have the hunting rights to this particular tract (it is under a...

    Savage 10FP barrel lengths

    Lately my attention has been drawn to the Savage 10FP. As per their webpage, it is offered in 2 barrel lengths: 20 and 26 inches. What are the pros and cons of each length and what are your general thoughts on this rifle? Jack

    What's up with flattened case mouths?

    Well I finally got to try a load in my Kimber that I have been wanting to try. I cast the bullets from Lee's 200gr. SWC mold, seated them to 1.255" and launched them with 4.3 grains of TiteGroup. As it turns out it was a good load in my gun -- accurate with little recoil. I noticed though...

    Do you like killing?

    The other night Ted Nugent was on Sean Hannity's radio show promoting his new book (Kill It and Grill It -- a cookbook). Sean's producer, some hypocrite named Flipper, is against hunting and would support laws outlawing the consumption of meat even though she eats free-range chicken. Her...

    another question about laminating a bench top

    Now that I have all my materials together, how should I go about laminating 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood for my bench top? Just a bunch of good glue or a combo of glue and screws or what? I'm ready to put this thing together!!! Jack

    Medium density fiberboard -- good for a reloading bench or not?

    Okay, all the furniture (well, nearly all) is in the new house and I'm finally getting to start on my garage-get-away...the reloading bench:D I've found some cabinets that will provide storage and a base for the benchtop. What do you think would be better for the top: plywood or MDF? I am...

    Lee 6 cavity molds -- opinions?

    Just wondering about the Lee 6 cavity molds. I'm thinking of getting one to cast .45ACP semiwadcutters. I've used Lee's 2 cavity molds and they work fine, but do the 6'ers work just as well? It seems as if it might be harder to get them and keep them evenly heated. No point in pouring 6 at a...

    What to do when scope won't adjust far enough

    I guess you can see that I have a number of gun issues that I need to take care of... I just put a scope on my old Remington .22 and took it out today to sight it in. I adjusted the thing up as far as possible but at 25 yards it still shot about 4 inches low. Now what? The scope worked...

    How stiff should a Ruger safety be?

    A couple of years ago I had a Dayton Traister trigger installed in my M77 MKII. It has only been since the trigger was installed that I have noticed that the safety is extremely stiff to operate. Perhaps it was this difficult before the install, but I just don't remember. I also don't know...

    Tasco binoculars...any good?

    My dad said something to my mom recently about some binoculars he saw in a catalog; she is thinking this will be her Christmas present to him. From what mom and I can figure, he is talking about the Tasco Futura II model in a 7-21X40 configuration. Has anyone tried these (or other brands with...

    need some touch up blueing

    Oops. I kinda scratched the barrel on my Ruger .308 while hunting this weekend and want to touch up the scratch. Any suggestions on a means of taking care of my boo-boo? Its a small spot, only about half an inch, but I still don't want to see it. Thanks, Jack

    protective finish for ATV racks

    I figured some of you guys who hunt might have some ideas on what would make a good coating for ATV racks. I would like something like the rubber grips on pliers handles. I've tried the stuff from Home Depot, but it is just too thin and rubs through in no time. Pipe insulation seems to wear...

    Trijicon nights sight general questions

    My paw-in-law just stopped by to show me his new toy: a Glock 23 with Trijicon 3-dot sights. I've never really learned about night sights so I was wondering -- how do they work (are they radioactive or what?)? Is there a life span to the glowing element and if so, how long do they last? What...

    Looking for a good range bag...

    Any suggestions on where to find a good range bag? Dillon offers a really good looking bag that is plenty big enough (about 15X10x13), with a shoulder strap, it has several small internal pockets (for mags, tools, etc...) and I have always been happy with their products and services. I just...

    "No Guns Here" yardsigns - this one is unbelievable!

    You just gotta read this one: www.sltrib.com/2001/oct/10142001/commenta/139919.htm So now it is scapegoating to blame criminals for crime?!? I lost count of the flaws in this guy's thinking (okay, not thinking, but whatever you want to call the process going on in his skull). Unreal. Jack

    copper and selenium in casting alloy?

    I found a local supply of inexpensive lead-free solder; it is 95% tin, 4.85% copper and .15% selenium. How will the copper and selenium affect the alloy (if at all)? Jack

    Carry a gun to DC?

    What exactly are the laws regarding guns in DC? I'll be there for a few days next week and would at least like to have one in the car and hotel with me. Is the idea of having a gun there just a bad idea all around or what? I'm so used to having one with me all the time that the thought of...
