Hehe, good idea. Gotta love Oleg Volk! Check out the 2nd pic from the top.... Maybe one of our community will reproduce that wonderful poster on the left, and provide it free of charge to members who want firearms controlled and eradicated. You know, as a peace offering at this time of year.

"It bears repeating that the Chicago Police Department has determined that 88% of murderers have previous criminal records as do 76% of murder victims. Federally-licensed firearm dealers are not the problem - career criminals are."

She didn't even take her clothes off for cripes sakeQuote That in itself is reason not to watch

If gun ownership is so bad, anyone who truly belives that should be willing to disarm themselves and post signs at their home in order to influence others.

Anyone wanting to go after Brandy will be facing a very angry watchdog Thanks guys.

Recoil impulse is very important, I love the way my Grendel pushes instead of a kick. Now I want an MGI hydra in .260rem I also want an EDM M96 Windrunner. I will top that one with a nice IOR Valdata scope if I ever get one.

One way of getting kicked out of that training was to lose your weapon, or have it taken.....Quote As it should always be, we are all nothing without a rifle. If anyone loses their rifle and remains alive, do they expect to make faces at the enemy?

As for cleaning, are you using a patch and a rod? Boreguide? FOAM or solvent? Do you polish the bore with flitz?

I have only seen it done on new bbls from the start before installation. Next bbl, he may choose a cut rifle bbl made by Satern Mrs. Rich may want to order one far ahead of time, as there is a backlog of bbls to be made, and by the time John's bbl needs replacing, it will be in his hands.

John can bed the receiver himself, I am sure of that. Acraglas works well, so does JB weld, just make sure you use a release agent on anything that is not supposed to have bedding material on it. You can buy release agent, or just use neutral kiwi shoe polish If I were John, I would follow the advice of BadgerOrd, and Scott, as they have far more LR experience than I do. BadgerOrd probably has more experience on LR shooting than all of us combined. I am just an ordinary rifleman, those two are experts in LR shooting.

The original pistol grip is small for my hand, and I prefer a sticky rubber grip, with enough of a taper that I can relax my hand, and barely hold onto the rifle when I want to.

Scenar bullets were used to set a world record perfect score in the 300 meter Moscow championship match. Averages from factory testing, 10-shot groups, have been less than 50mm at 300 meters. Designed for long ranges and benchrest shooting. The key is that the scenar is pretty damned good when it comes to BC and accuracy, and given that it is a 155grain bullet, you can push it faster resulting in a better BC.

I will be going back out when the weather permits, to shoot 100yd targets with the FAL, Grendel, AR15s, Model 760, and Benelli firing 300grain XP3 SabotSlugs. I will also try stretching out the legs on the Grendel as far as I can, it may take a looooooong trip or permission to shoot on private property.

Or forgot to convert yds to feet.

Is the bbl free floated?

1000 / 5280 = 0.189 . . . six-tenths? Quote 3000'/5280=0.569

Cooling that bbl may be a good idea, heck I know you shoot better than I do, you have waaaaaaay more 1000yd experience. Also try 155grain Lapua Scenars. You might be amazed, in that they will almost always stay supersonic at 1000yds. Load up a few and try them out, maybe with the IMR4895 to start.

I also use a half empty mag to improve accuracy, it is an old trick that still seems to work. That day in north central WI it was pretty crappy out, my friend Steve did not even want to come out of the clubhouse.

What's your explanation for how lock-titing the rail screws improved the accuracy? Do they impinge upon the barrel?I was tired of the screws securing the rail to the receiver backing off and in fact one had fallen out after many hundreds of rounds. That second group is sub-minute nice, except for that one flyer that leaked out to the right. I would claim it, but that was my .270win, the weather was getting worse so I got lazy and shot once into that target just for a zero check.(use a caliper ) Was this done with a scope? What magnification?2.5-10x42mm cheap ass Tasco with MilDots Now bring your zero down and right! As for right, I would have if conditions were not the way they were, I had a full value wind from my 3 o'clock Guess why my zero was 1.5" high?You know the answer! Oh, that sounds kind of back-yard gunsmithish... But hey, it seems to work. Will the tape stay on when it gets in the hot summer sun? What was wrong with the original pistol grip? Hey some rubber tape and duct tape works wonders, and it still barely pliable in the cold, yeah it holds up in hot weather. I will take a pic and post it, it looks like hell, and I like it that way, it probably has a half ounce of krylon on it.

It's an L1A1 to you, or SLR depending on your vintage.

wind was blowing, I had drank a pot of coffee, and the weather was like shit. As I get older, it seems my ability to brush aside those types of things, and shoot well are diminishing.

I only achieved this using Hornady 150 grain Ballistic Tips. So far that was some of the most accurate ammo I have sent down the bbl. I have no muzzle device, and that in itself can imrove the accuracy on this particular rifle. How was your trigger? Mine breaks like a glass rod, and has about 2.5lbs of pull. I did my own trigger work and also cut 1.5 turns off the trigger return spring.

This is a picture of a target that was shot with a "Frankengun" FAL that I purchased way back in 1995. I have done work on it, none of it costing more than $150 total, after purchasing the FAL. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o42/warped60120/PC050040.jpgThis is a picture of a target that was shot with a "Frankengun" FAL that I purchased way back in 1995. The first group you see to the left was after removing and replaceing all the screws on the scope rail, and locktiting them with red. I shot the next group after zeroing, you will see this group a half inch left, and 1.5" high. I have done work on it, none of it costing more than $150 total, after purchasing the FAL. Then I recrowned and lapped the chrome lined bore. Custom taped up stock using a rubber hose as a riser. Taped up pistol grip using fuseable rubber splicing tape. Bipod, and trigger work. Well what do you think?

We just found out that the beautiful paint gelding we were going to buy has glaucoma ( or some other malady that cause a cloudy retina) Damn he is a good boy, kind, gentle, affectionate, great jumper, and a perfect gait. what a drag, if he can be treated or cured we would still like to have him. I hope the current owner will pay for the treatment, instead of passing him off or euthanizing.

I know what you mean. I was referring to things you cannot provide that they may encounter. Things like rock slides, (sure you can simulate it, but it will not be as realistic or dangerous) Horses can only learn what they can actually enounter. Too bad they can't read books. But if they could, they would go to france on a killing spree.
