I agree with the other posts. I try to order from Titan but if I only need one or two items I can't pay their shipping prices. Great service, fast delivery without question.

There was nothing more satisfying than teaching my children to shoot. Now I have grand kids and I started my grandson at 9 and now one of my granddaughters is turning 8 and has demonstrated enough...

I use hamster bedding also. Works great.

I have used both and I personally find the Cerakote is tougher. I have fire arms with Cerakoted metalwork and scopes and Duracoted stocks. Some things do not take well to being baked. You can do a...

Just curious, is the rifle cycling properly with that load?

I was a moderator on a forum for a number of years and I know what you are talking about in regards to the issues of moderating a controversial thread. We handled it a little different where I was,...

This exactly my point about reasonably priced. These things are a grand stripped. The 10mm is 1300.00 +

What someone needs to do is the Ruger X-GI they designed, announced and never released. A .308 mini 14. I agree about the Saint release. I was more than disappointed with all the lead in hype only to...

We are issued different gloves for different jobs and of course there are some tools that you are not to operate with gloves on.
Forum: Cast Boolits
When I am at work we are required to wear gloves any time we are out on deck. When this started, I hated it. Now I do not even notice it. This has extended to the workshop at home as well. Once you...

I did not realize that the AR10 was not quite as standardized. If I were going to build one from the ground up, I will need to seriously do my home work. I have no aversion to buying one built, but i...

So you are not seeing any weak link in comparison to an AR15? Well that is good to know. I have looked at them for a long time and I figured if people are shooting them in calibers like 300 WSM it...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
A couple hundred rounds a month is nothing. When I shoot my AR15s I will put 200 or 300 rounds through it per day. I was just curious if anyone has found a weakness in the AR10 when put through its...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
A lot of ammo. I have some friends with Ar-10s, but they do not put more than a couple of hundred rounds a month through them.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I know a lot of folks here own AR-10s. Is anyone here running one really hard?

If its 7mm WM. Midway has factory ammo as low as $51- a box.

This introduction could not have been more anti-climactic. Another AR, ho hum. They lead up to this like it would be ground breaking, it's not. I guessed it would be a black rifle, but I expected...

I have a CZ 550 and I am shooting the 350 gr. RCBS bullet in WW, gas checked and powder coated. I am using 47.5 gr. of 5744 and a Remington 9 1/2 primer. I get 1.5 to 2 inches at 100 yards, and with...
I have always been a fan of fixed power scopes on my target rifles.

I agree that if time were a factor, I would probably think differently about the whole subject. I am off an average of 18 days a month. Time I have for PCing.
Forum: Our Town
I have a CZ550 in 416 Rigby. I really enjoy playing with it. I do warn people outside of forums such as this to look at ammo prices before considering calibers in this range. With cast bullets...

I PC exclusively. I like the cleanliness of it and the lack of leading. My faster and long range rifles still get a steady diet of jacketed.
Oh yeah, I have no use for any firearm too pimped up or rare to be fired. Rare firearms belong in museums not gun safes. Pimped up collectibles are paper weights and have no use.
