      Bead Sight Replacment -- Tritium/Fiber Optic Combo???

      I have a Mossberg 590A1 with a standard bead sight. I really like the bead sight concept, but I want to replace it with something that has higher visibility over a range of environments. Ideally, I would like something that has a combination of a tritium vile and a place to insert a fiber...

      What are the Long Range Matches for Two Man Teams?

      My question is simple. What are the long range matches for two man teams and how are they organized? Do all these types of matches require one shooter to use a bolt and another a semi-auto in a standard spotter/shooter configuration? Can you use two bolt guns without being at a disadvantage...

      Is anyone going to be in the AM session at PNTC's USPSA comp in May (next weekend) doing production division? I'm still relatively new and find that I benefit when I squad with other people in my division. Last time no one in my squad was doing production and I think I suffered for it...

      USPSA Strategy: Speed v. Accuracy?

      I started USPSA last year. I had a lot of fun and got as far as getting ranked. It's worth admitting that my rank is terrible. This year, my goal is to move up at least one notch. So here's my question on USPSA strategy: As you plan/execute a stage, do you put more emphasis on speed or...

      Looking for experienced precision rifle gunsmith in the area?

      I need an experienced gunsmith who regularly works on precision long range rifles to bed a scope base for me. Without bedding the scope base has had a tendency to twist, so they would need to know what they are doing. Please let me know if you know anyone. Also, I really need a quick...

      DIY Muzzle Device Installation on Precision Bolt Action?

      I have a Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD in an XLR chassis. I want to put a PWS PRC muzzle device on it. I understand that it comes with a shim set to get it timed properly. Is this something I can do myself without the use of a vise or clamping device? Does the rifle have to be removed from the...

      Head-Space Check?

      So I recently bought all the parts and had a smith put an AR15 together for me. After the first range trip, I realized that the extractor pin on my spikes bolt was stuck. They ended up sending me a new bolt. The BCM barrel now has 200 rounds on it. If you were me, would you take the rifle to...

      Two Problems w/ my New AR: 1) Geissele SSA Defect? 2) Buffer Tube Out of Spec?

      Greetings All, 1) My first AR was an LWRC M6A2 SPR. I changed out the trigger in that rifle to a Geissele SSA-E. The SSA-E pulls consistently at 3.5# on the dot as advertised. My new rifle has a brand to Geissele SSA in it, which is consistently measuring at 5.5#. I thought Geissele...

      Need Advice on Lightweight Barrel Quality & Availablility

      I am currently in the process of building a lightweight 16" mid-length AR. I have my heart set on a lightweight mid-length, 16", 1 in 7 twist, chrome lined, barrel that is .625 at the gas port. I don't want a front sight post. Quality is very important to me. I would strongly prefer that it...

      LPK w/ Ambi Safety (but w/o trigger group and grip)?

      Do you adjust your AR stock depending on what you're doing?

      Do you adjust your AR stock depending on what you're doing? I'm just curious if anyone else does this. I've been doing it with an Aimpoint and it works out well for me. I keep it on the second position for CQB and drop it back one or two notches for bench shooting. I'm going to be mounting...

      SWFA SS 1-6X

      Does anyone happen to have a SWFA SS 1-6X rifle scope I can take a look at? Apparently, you can only buy these direct from SWFA, so there's no chance of finding them in a local shop. I'm in the Bethesda area but can do a little traveling to check it out. If you have one, but you're not up...

      I'm looking for a tripod for an angled spotting scope. I intend to use it mostly while sitting and the tripod on a bench or sitting with the tripod on the ground in front of me.
