      Anyone deal with CGW or CZ Custom?

      I haven't sent a gun in for work, but I have purchased from CGW and loved both the products and the customer service. I have heard only good things about them. If I was going to send my CZ somewhere, it would be CGW.

      Stainless steel media group buy

      Anyone planning on building their own tumbling containers? I have most of an 8' or 10' length of 6" PVC pipe sitting in my shed. I had to have Home Depot special order it since I couldn't find it in stock anywhere locally. I am PCS'ing this summer and am clearing stuff out of the shed since...

      Daisy wadcutters - cheap

      I had actually seen this and bought a pack about a week before you posted this. I was looking for something to get me past the "Free Shipping" barrier, and $1.72 was just about perfect. Besides, 500 pellets for under $2, what is there to lose? I finally got around to shooting some...

      beginners bench on the cheap

      I already have some of the White Hardboard. I figured I would see how I liked it how it is. It will be very easy to put a top on it if I decide later.

      pellet trap

      It's the same stuff I think. I got mine at Lowes. $1 per pound sounds like a good price though. I have 6 lbs in my box (its pretty much in the thickness it comes in - I peeled the paper backing off though). I figured I would add a bit more if I get a higher powered air rifle.

      pellet trap

      I got around to making a "silent" pellet trap. I can't remember where I saw this on the web, but it seemed like a good idea. The box is ~2.5" deep, and an 8.5x11 piece of paper fits perfectly and is held in place by the clipboard (which slips into a dado on the inside of the box). I first...

      beginners bench on the cheap

      I took a few days off from work, and was finally able to work on some projects I had been saving up (I always have more projects than time). One of the projects was to make a small bench to start reloading. I've been putting of getting a press because I didn't have anywhere to put it. Now...

      Good Brass/Bad Brass?

      I have sorted a lot of brass. I use slotted "sieves" to roughly separate calibers by size. I don't think I have yet found 9x20, 9x21, or 9x23 (or if I did I just threw it in the "misc" pile). I used to sort further by placing them on a flat surface to compare the height. I like what I do now...

      decisions, decisions (any suggestions?)

      Hello all, I am pretty new to air guns. I recently got a Daisy M853 (refurb) from the CMP. It shoots great, and the customer service was very good. My plan was to get the M853 as my target/plinking air rifle, and then get another at some point for plinking/hunting (more powerful). I...

      22 Long Rifle Brass

      I get brass from an indoor range which I sort for my own use and sell the rest (I sorted 65 lbs this morning). All the 22 or other unusable stuff I have set aside figuring I would scrap it at some point. I just checked, and I have about 16 lbs of 22 LR cases (I'm going to guess its a 2-3...

      Primer pocket reamer recommendations

      I haven't gotten a swager yet, but I saw this which looks interesting. If I get one I will have to try it out. Edit: Just saw this mod - I wonder which is faster?

      INDOOR CROSSBOW RANGE

      One thing I forgot to mention - always aim at a new spot with each shot. Crossbows can be very accurate (especially when fitted with a scope). I was only out shooting for the second time before I "robin hooded" a bolt at 35 yards. It seems kind of cool the first time, until you think about...

      INDOOR CROSSBOW RANGE

      I'ts not indoor, but if you are have privileges on military posts, there is an archery range on APG. Its free to use and allows crossbows (its where you have to qualify to get a permit to hunt on post). As for targets, they used to have huge straw filled bags on some lanes. My bolts...

      CZ 75 Kadet Adapters in Stock

      I love mine. My CZ75B has all stock springs and such, and I didn't have any issues switching. The conversion is very accurate and reliable. I highly recommend a good loader, you'll want to shoot a lot and the mag's are rough on the thumbs. P.S. - CZfirearms.us is a great resource for all...

      Opposite eye dominance

      I am right handed and left eye dominant. I switched nearly on to shooting lefty (pistol excepted). Now it just feels normal. I thing shooting with the non-domimnant eye would be harder. Does anyone else watch Alaska: The Last Frontier? It bugs me every time during the opening credits when...

      Brass trade thread.

      I've decided to try to get started reloading. Right now, I have lots of brass, but not much of anything else. :) I could use 44 rem mag, 7.62x39, or 308 brass, reloading supplies (bullets, primers, powder, etc), or equipment you outgrew. I'm interested in trying to work something out, PM me...

      Crossbow hunters - red dot or scope?

      Well, you were prophetic. Fourth shot this morning sounded a little different hitting the target. Not the full "Robin Hood" (split), but the nock is gone and I have one less bolt. :rolleyes: At least I feel better about loosing one that way and not just losing it in the woods to a poor shot...

      Purchases You Regret NOT Making

      +1 Quite a while back I bought an AK and at the time SKSs were $79. At the time I thought, "I just bought an AK, why would I need another heavier, fixed magazine, 7.62x39 rifle even if it is cheap."
