    Hi guys, I'm looking for a synthetic cheekpad, 1" to 1.25" high (removable inserts would be a plus), to be used in a long range rifle with sporting style wood stock. Is there one available in brown color? Please, tell me where to buy it as well. Thanks in advance :)

    Extra barrels/stock for Benelli?

    Hi guys, I have a 12 Ga. Benelli M3 Super 90 (the auto/pump shotgun, I think they have changed the name) with a pistol grip stock. I would like to get a 28" barrel with extra chokes, and a normal black plastic stock (BTW, the factory stock is too long! and I'm 6') . Where can I get them? Thanks...

    Best aftermarket trigger for AR15?

    My new Olympic upper (24" match bull barrel, 1 in 10" twist) is awesome!! I've got 1/3 MOA groups with factory ammo! And, TShoes, the measured velocity is up at least 100 fps from another (bushmaster, 1-9") 20" barrel. Now I want to change the horrible trigger for something better, yet easy to...

    Max bullet weight for AR15 with a 1-10" barrel?

    I'm selecting a few bullets to try on my friend's Armalite Ultramatch rifle. It has a 24", 1 in 10" heavy barrel, and it is extremely accurate with 55gr. bullets. I would like to know what is the maximum bullet weight (in spitzer and SBT configuration) this 1-10" barrel can handle. Thanks in...

    Reduced loads for 7-08?

    I'm trying to assemble accurate reduced loads for my 26" T/C Encore. I want to use this rifle in siluetas, and our local rules stipulate a muzzle velocity below 2100 fps, any type and weight of bullet allowed. I've got excellent precision with this rifle at higher velocities using normal rifle...

    Where's the best place to buy Nightforce scopes?

    Where's the best place to buy a Nightforce NSX 5.5-22x56 scope, anywhere in USA? It seems their policy is to have very few dealers and uniform (and steep!) prices. Thanks in advance!!!

    Grip safety too loose

    The grip safety in my aluminum frame Para P14-45 is too loose in the right side (about 0.018", looking from behind), and I think it is sometimes rubbing the hammer strut if my grip forces it to move all the way to the right, and this is causing inconsistent trigger pulls. I'm afraid of...

    Accuracy loads for S&W 629 Classic?

    Hola amigos!! I'm the proud owner of a new 6.5" 44mag. 629 Classic (...made circa 1996). I've read before about the "endurance and accuracy package" these guns have, and I know first hand about the excellent accuracy of a couple of friend's guns. Now the questions: Should I keep the loads a...

    Hammer drops to half cock in a Para P14-45

    Hi guys, this question probably have been asked thousands of times, but I was dumb enough not to find this topic in the archives. My Para P14-45 (with a passive firing pin safety) has been functioning just about perfect for more than 2500 rounds. Now the slide drops about 50% of the time when I...

    Jim Keenan, Keith J (and others): slide velocity in a 1911?

    (I've also posted this at "the smithy", and nobody has answered yet). As I understand it, the force that causes the slide/barrel to accelerate backwards (this is, reaction -recoil- from the moving bullet) ceases after the bullet exits the barrel and the pressure is released (well before...

    Initial slide velocity in a 1911?

    As I understand it, the force that causes the slide/barrel to accelerate backwards (this is, reaction -recoil- from the moving bullet) ceases after the bullet exits the barrel and the pressure is released (well before unlocking, in a properly timed pistol, the slide recoiling only about 0.1")...

    Good article on "reverse image zero"

    See it at: http://www.snipersparadise.com/ELR/reverse.htm Very ilustrative!! I see it (together with point blank range, or some variation of both) as the way to go for snap shooting.

    Has anybody read "Rifle Accuracy Facts"?

    Have any of you read "Rifle Accuracy Facts" (by Harold R. Vaughn, published by Precision Shooting)? One thing that puzzles me is that the author, in his very comprenhensive and analytical search to control all the variables involved in internal ballistics, completely dismisses the torsional...

    Which is the most durable brass (by caliber)?

    In my limited experience with handgun reloading: - 38 spl, 44 spl, and 45 Colt brass last a very long time (no matter what brand, when loaded to normal -low- pressures). - 9x19, even though is high pressure, is usually VERY strong. - 45 ACP, is low pressure but lasts only as long as 9x19. - 40...

    Handgun calibers: How critical is to have cases sorted by brand/lot?

    I know all cases should be as similar as possible to have the same pressure, lenght, crimp/neck tension, etc. Now, I've never had any problems at all with mixed brass in low pressure calibers (38spl, 45ACP, etc.), and I could never tell a significant difference in accuracy. Once I set my dies...
