      Sparrow on a 22LR converted Glock Question

      Do I need any additional equipment for a Advantage Arms 22 conversion that has a threaded barrel? Will be using a Sparrow on it. I know most 9mm and 45 ACP need the piston adapter, but is this true for the 22LR pistol? Sparrow works great on rifles with standard velocity and sub sonic (970fps...

      Breath Control for rifle precision shooting

      I was having a conversation with another rifle shooter about breath control, and the "respiratory pause" moment came up. They used the empty lung (bottom of the breathing cycle) technique, whereas I use the half-breath lung method (full breath in, pause at about halfway). NRA basic rifle...

      Cold Bore Shot, Barrel Length/Profile Effects questions

      Just some questions regarding cold bore shots: How does barrel length affect the difference between follow-up shots and the first shot? Does stress relieving the barrel reduce the cold bore shot and follow-up shot deviation? Does the barrel profile (fluting/heavy barrel/taper) have a...

      Sight Alignment and Sight Picture for varied distances

      I was laser boresighting one of my pistols and came up with a question for the brain trust. If your sights are set for say 15 yards, and you need to shoot a target at 50 yards, do you change your sight alignment or sight picture? Iron sights, do you move the front sight up into a triangle...

      How to clean up surface rust on a Damascus blade and keep it from rusting again

      MDS Brain Trust, As the title states, I have a few inexpensive Damascus blades that have surface rust on them, how do you clean it off, and how do you keep it from coming back? I know to keep the blade oiled, but what kind of oil works best. Also, can you re-profile a blade without having to...

      M1 Garand sight question

      Looking for information on sight setting for a CMP service grade M1 Garand. Took it to the range twice, and sighted it in at 50 yds. Both times, the elevation was bottomed out, and it was dead center on a 4" circle with a 6 o'clock hold. I am going to the CMP range near Talladega, AL, and...

      AR pistol adjustable gas block question

      To the AR pistol folks, I have an AR pistol in 300 Blackout with an 8.5 barrel. It has an adjustable gas block (SA) that was adjusted as instructed. Question is, if the first shot ejects at 3 o'clock and the subsequent shots are at 5 o'clock is it undergassed or good to go? No jams or feeding...

      Non-Toxic Knife oil

      Looking at some of the other knife posts, is there a protective oil you can use on knives that won't be an issue if you decide to use the knife for food prep? Q

      AR-10 Trigger/Hammer Pins

      Quick Question: Are the AR-10 trigger and hammer receiver pins the same size as AR-15 pins? I think they are, but want to ask the group if they have had any issues regarding it. Q

      Bipod mounting on an AR-15 debate

      Got this off a FB AR page.... The poster wants to mount a bipod on a standard non-free float AR-15 carbine length. Aside from the usual "Why the F would you want to do that..." and other douche comments, a discussion came up about barrel harmonics and mounting the bipod towards the front of...

      Armalite AR-10 Bolt Catch Question

      Gunsmiths, I have an issue I discovered with an AR-10 Carbine. The Bolt Carrier Release latch would get lodged after the last round was shot. It would not push in (slamming it did not dislodge it) to release the bolt. If I pull back on the charging handle, it would release. If I inserted...

      All, Any IPs have a NIB 870 or 500 in stock? I know that firearms are scarce right now. I chuckled when he asked last night about looking for one. I said good luck, and told him the situation. He lives in the Annapolis area, and was talking about going to Bass Pro. He's looking at $300 -...

      Shotgun Red Dot Slug versus Red Dot Shot

      If you have a shotgun zeroed for slugs using a red dot (Circle Dot) does the sight relatively work for shot (Buck and Bird) up to a certain distance (20-50 yds) or is it a completely different sight position? Q

      Iron Sight question

      MDS brain-trust, I have Tech Sights on a couple of 10/22s (Rail mounted series, versus receiver mounted), and I noticed that I need to move the rear sight to the left (looking forward) off from the centerline to get accurate groupings. It looks more left than normal but the groupings are...

      Zro Delta Modular Pistol

      Saw this from a friend: https://zrodelta.com/build-your-modulus/ Concept looks interesting, but a little steep on the price with all the bells and whistles. Having the ability to change fit and sizes has its merits. Wonder if it will get on the roster. Q

      5.56 NATO and.223 Rem Brass

      Was looking at a Facebook page on Long Range Shooting, saw a posting regarding .223 brass, and had the random thought: can you load .223 Rem brass to 5.56 NATO spec? Is .223 Rem brass the same as 5.56 NATO brass just a different headstamp? Q
