    The Secrets of the Houston Warehouse

    That article is REALLY interesting. I have an old 40XBR benchrest rifle in .222 Remington, made by Remington's custom shop, that I bought new in 1973. I know what it takes to shave group sizes which is why I found the article very intriguing.

    Christmas Day at son's man-cave

    That sounds like fun, Rich. Our Christmas Eve routine is to have our sons over for a fondue dinner. We have several different meats - beef, chicken, shrimp, and another that changes each year, mushrooms, onions, and more which are all cut up bite-sized and all get cooked by whoever's going to...

    New home for Elsie and Big Brother!

    You can't beat Pelican cases. I use one for all my photographic lights and the electronics that links them to my cameras.

    What would you like for Christmas?

    Do you tend to rotate the rifle when using the canted iron sights?

    An honest news reporter

    I do wish that this would get published in a place where the masses would be likely to read and understand it along with understanding who wrote it. This whole episode we're in reminds me of a cartoon I saw many years ago. There were two masked crooks chatting around the corner from a crowd...

    What would you like for Christmas?

    I'd be thrilled if Santa would drop an EOTech G33.STS optical sight magnifier into my Christmas stocking. ::)

    AR question

    I use the EOTech EXPS-2 sight and very much want to get their G33 STS magnifier. The only problem is the $550 going price for the magnifier. I'm gonna have to scrimp and save to get that one.

    AR question

    If you don't have an accessory such as the Magpul ASAP (a sling mount device) under the castle nut, the Tapco wrench works fine. I have a Magpul ASAP and the Tapco wrench won't allow me to turn the castle nut enough. I found another type of spanner wrench that I still had to modify to make it...

    Wait until you go for an EOTech holographic sight and then add their 3.2x magnifier in front of it. ;)

    AR question

    One additional tidbit for your new rifle. The absolute best thing you could do is to replace the "GI" trigger with a Geissele SSA trigger. It's a two-stage trigger that's super-smooth and clean breaking while still being totally safe. If you partially pull the trigger (even into the second...

    AR question

    With all the "Ancient Aliens" stuff on TV during the last year or so, I've wondered if there were ETs out there who could do time travel and who saw when the Earth went funky and then travelled back and told a few of our ancient civilizations about it. ::)

    AR question

    I certainly hope you've found a vendor who has all of what you want in stock and at reasonable pricing. What I've been reading is that many places have doubled their prices on 30-round AR-15 magazines, for example. Even then, they may not have any stock left. It's goofy but that's the way it...

    Happy birthday to me

    Verti - now you need a couple thousand bullets, a few pounds of powder, a couple thousand primers, some dies, etc. etc. That will keep you going for a while. I have about 1750 rounds ready to go for my AR15. Half of that is new M193 and M855 ammo and the rest is handloaded using empties from...

    SR 4756 Powder

    4756 has been in several reloading data manuals for decades. However, in my old Lyman manual it was very clear that Unique outperformed the 4756 for the .38 Special lead bullet loads. Unique was what they were reporting as the most accurate of the tested loads and the velocities were all...

    What does "Keyhole" mean?

    It was Verticoli, not me, who found and posted the video. ::)

    What does "Keyhole" mean?

    I don't know if I've ever seen that video before, but it's definitely on my "save" list now. At around 5 minutes into the video, there are a number of pistol bullets expanding in what appears to be ballistic gelatin. That's really interesting to see.
