So, I've got a Silencerco Omega 36M waiting in jail for a few more months. In the meantime, one of my goals in buying the 36M was to suppress my T3x Superlite. I was kind of hoping the stock barrel would be threadable... but alas, even a couple inches back at the start of the flutes the diameter...

I've been tinkering with QuickLoad for 6mm ARC, .243AI and 7mm-08 and it seems to like Accurate 2495, usually putting it up in the top 10 or so powders for velocity (typically within 75 or so fps of max) close to 100% case fill, one of the very few with 100% burn (at any rifle barrel length) and...

Well gang, I've done did it and have all my parts (I think) either in hand or on order. When things start getting more interesting (like I can put stuff together) I'll post some pics. I did a lot of digging and in some cases I paid more than I could have because I wanted a specific part while in...

Hey gang, How's things? With all the... well, you know... going on, I figured I better get to building that AR I've always had floating around in the back of my mind. I've always sort of figured I'd go .204Ruger, but what with the 6mm ARC being so close to the .243Pfleuger of my own design...

Hey gang, Long time no talk... probably many of you who don't even remember me being around!:o Anyhoo, my query is, as the title suggests, not strictly "black powder" but it is muzzleloading so I thought I'd put it here rather than the hunting side... I have a shiny brand new CVA Accura v2...

aka... That was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Aspen Leaf Reservoir was a bust, so we moved on. Figured I'd better learn some areas myself. After a couple days of driving, stopping at a few spots, wandering a ways back in the woods and seeing nothing, not even tracks, we were at...

Hey all, So, I'm heading out on my 2nd elk hunt. I'm in Western CO and, normally, it never rains here. It's been raining for 10 days straight. Literally, more rain in 10 days than we've seen in 2 years since I moved here. Any guesses how this might effect the elk? I'll be (starting) with a...

Hey gang, Heretofore, my knife needs have been simple and I was content with “disposable” $10-$20 offerings from Walmart. Being as my current hunting expositions will be in the wild of CO and on critters much larger and/or tougher than the 120lb whitetail deer I’m so used to, I am now in the...

Hey gang! Long time no talk! Let's rehash a fun topic for the 12 millionth iteration, eh? I picked me up a Tikka T3x chambered in (what everyone I've talked to knows is) my favorite cartridge... 7mm-08. I was going to transfer my Minox ZX5 5-25 to it so I could save the $$$... but it seems...

Hello gang! I'm finally realizing my long time dream of moving to CO!:D Two weeks from today! Obviously, the time frame for lottery tags has already long passed but many areas near me have OTC tags for 2nd and 3rd seasons. Talk to me about hunting OTC areas roughly in the rectangle formed...

How long should the be engaged before getting married?:D:rolleyes: I kid! Seriously though, this may be a question without even a vaguely generalizable answer but, if so... What is consider a safe sear to firing pin engagement?

My dad's neighbor has one up for sale with "at least 10lbs of brass". I didn't have time to look it over really well (I'll go through the Revolver Check Out thread if I think I'll buy it). It appears to be in what I would call "Used Like a Tool" condition. Not abused, not babied. He wants $450...

Hello gents. Picked up a shiny new Beretta Neos U22 this weekend. Topped it with an El-Cheapo Sight Mark red dot. Only purpose is a fun range toy. I went through 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mags (in about 10 minutes:eek::D) without a hiccup. Only trouble is the trigger, which has about 4" of...

Gentlemen, I am in need of some assistance in ascertaining the value of a fairly large collection (approximately 30) of firearms. Many of them are C&R but not all. I do not wish to publish the list and serial numbers publicly. If any of you fine folks would like to give me a hand, please...

Hey all, my dad has this 1400 and the barrel lug started wobbling. Most indications on-line are that it's soldered on but this one has two screws. I got them off (had to grind a screwdriver slot in one) and have found that the lug is also cracked. I realize this isn't really a part meant to be...

for my Savage 11 project. You'll might remember it's start, here, and it's semi-finished state, here. So I was thinking about the purpose of pillars and the nature of laminated wood stocks and I thought... "maybe mini pillars would work?" I don't know. They might, what do you think...

So, I ran across a Colt Government, Stainless in .38Super at a local shop the other day. Exactly like this one, except I think the trigger is different. I have no need for it at all. Didn't want one, until I saw that one... then I drooled on the counter. I haven't asked to touch it yet. Too...

I doubt anybody who has one wants to get rid of it but let me know if you do... they're sold out everywhere. Will pay full retail ($35) and shipping.

My uncle and I used to hunt woodchucks very often during our short NY summers. It was not unusual for for us to shoot 75, occasionally over 100, each. Unfortunately, we pretty much ran out of places to go, as they were all leased off to deer hunters. Well, we just found out that our long time...

So, I hate case prep... trimming, deburring, yada, yada, yada. It's a nasty part of an otherwise enjoyable hobby IMO. I've been looking for a way to do it easier and quicker that works for all cases and doesn't cost a fortune. I've been using the Lee cutter and lock stud system but it's slow...
