Was having a problem getting the rear of my chassis gun situated at the range. I tried several different bags and props. Never really got comfortable. Then I saw an article in the July/ August issue of Precision Rifle Shooter about an adjustable bag rider from a company called Long Shot...
I tried it. Glass beads leave a fine dust you can’t really see on brass. I started having a problem with my dies damaging brass and couldn’t figure it out so I sent them back to Hornady to look at. They sent me an email asking how I cleaned my brass. I told them I was tumbling with glass beads...
Citric acid, water, squirt of dawn, splash of vinegar and generic jet dry in an Amazon ultra sonic cleaner. About $59 for sonic cleaner. Use it mostly for primer pockets and inside of brass. About 15 minutes at 160 degrees and they come out nice and shinny but it doesn’t knock off 100% of crud...
I do know this. I’ve put together more performance engines than I care to remember. I’ve seen engines built personally that have any where from 150 to 3000 hp. The ones that stay together longer ALL had forged internals. No exceptions. Reason? Stronger. Why? Exactly the reason @cmshoot said...
Yeah, not something I’m interested in. It’s just I’m a gear head also and know that over the last couple of years they’ve done some interesting things with true carbon fiber.
:yo::yo::yo::yo:I appreciate everyone’s input. I’ve got a little homework but information is invaluable. Thanks to all the members for helping me out. :hail:
that is excellent information. Getting more comfortable with what I have. I never realized that hard coat anodizing has the same Rockwell rating as some of my higher end D2 and S30V knife blades.
I love shooting my AR and have really gotten comfortable with it. I knew a trigger I liked and quality barrel and sight were important so I insured I had that. And at 58 with trashed shoulders from climbing poles my adult life, it’s much more comfortable and enjoyable to shoot than my Mini’s.
This is all good info and I knew bringing this up with members was the right way to go, but the way people were trashing the type lower I had I was a little embarrassed to admit it. I guess it’s like some of the off the wall firearms I own. As long as I like it and am comfortable shooting it...
That is an exceptional offer and I really appreciate it. I’m half a world away from you and with our current work schedule due to the fear of COVID I’m not sure when I could but I really would feel better. Ma Bell has us working 13 on and 1 off since March. With all this working from home people...
Y’all are making me feel better any way. I own guns for protection and enjoyment. No safe queens here. Although I own some higher end pistols and bolt guns, it’s due to precision and reliability, not bragging rights which is the reason for my concern. With all that’s going on in the world I...
I’m not real sure what to look for. The parts I put in to it seem to fit properly and I’ve put about 1500 rounds through it so far without any problems. What are the areas of concern?
Ok, been into guns since my Daisy Red Rider. My Uncle owned a Wester Auto in Decatur and on my 16th birthday gave me a Ruger Mini-14 and I was in love. I have 3 at the moment. Mini-14 ranch, Mini-14 Tactical and a Mini-30. About 3 months ago I purchased my first AR. I really have enjoyed it and...
