      Local Shop with a good Knife Selection?

      +1 more for Edgeworks--probably going in there this weekend to fondle a few EDC pokers that I've been contemplating. You may have to wade through some silly damn hipsters grazing nearby, but once you get inside the shop you'll realize it was worth the trip ;)

      Want to lighten trigger on M77 Mk II

      Another vote for the Timney--I purchased a KM77MKII in 7mm about 20 years ago and the factory trigger was atrocious. Now, I was (am) not a handy guy at all, and I had zero smithing experience at the time, but I was able to drop the Timney in using only the instructions included in the package...

      Frederick Gun Show, November 8 & 9, 2014

      I know it's a long, long, long shot, but did anyone by chance happen to come across an FN TSR XP in .308?

      FN TSR XP .308, 24" barrel?

      What's not to love indeed--reinvigorates my internal debate...should I wait and save / sell to get the cash and get the A3G or A5M (and proper glass, of course), or yield to my impulsiveness and buy something lesser but now? Darn this affliction!

      FN TSR XP .308, 24" barrel?

      Well, lots of looks, but no replies to this post--seems to be consistent with reviews on the broader internet. Just not a lot out there on the TSR... OK, so what about FN precision rifles on the whole (PBR or SPR family)? Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with this company that...

      FN TSR XP .308, 24" barrel?

      Anyone have any experience with this particular piece? I've been spending way too much time trying to decide on a gap-bridging tactical / hunting gun (basically, a tactical gun that I will validate on whitetail and below out west), and I keep coming back to the TSR... Buddy of mine has a...

      Chipotle Caves

      SKS is all smiles now, but if AR gets the "no more burrito for you" message, I'm guessin' that might change... :yummy:

      Pre-purchase hunting rifle research--suggestions?

      Man, those Coopers sound sweet--never personally handled or shot one, but I've heard nothing but good things about them. Makes me start to think I should sell and/or save more to bump up into that range. Of course, then I'd have to consider the GA Precision Non Typical too...

      Pre-purchase hunting rifle research--suggestions?

      Thanks to everyone for all of the excellent advice--your responses are exactly why I decided to pose the question. WRT the caliber preference and sub-MOA requirement...I'm hoping to wind up with a gun that will handle everything from Eastern Colorado pronghorns to the aforementioned Yukon...

      Pre-purchase hunting rifle research--suggestions?

      Greetings--sometime in the next year or so I'm going to buy a new hunting rifle, and I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom of MDS for suggestions... The rifle will serve as my go-to piece for coyote to elk -sized game out West, and I'll make my selection utilizing the following criteria...

      Help,,,1911 Les Baer problem

      I built a Caspian-framed 1911 that was doing the same thing the first time I took it to the range with Winchester White Box 230 fmj, but not with Remington hp's. Turns out that the fmj's were just long enough in the nose that they would engage the slide stop lever occasionally--a few swipes...

      Fake CMP Collector Grades

      Please accept my apologies in advance--maybe I'm not properly caffeinated yet, but I'm having a hard time following what's going on in this thread... I'm personally very interested b/c I have an HRA CMP Correct that I"m considering selling (not marketing actively, but I have responded...

      Can anyone recommend a gunsmith for a custom bolt action rifle build?

      Plus one here--I don't own anything Walt's built, but I've been very impressed with work of his that I've seen, he has an excellent resume, and he's an all-around solid dude.

      Hi My Name is _____ I have a Problem

      I have persistent variation of this affliction... House 6 Actual is ugh, well, let's just say "fiscally responsible," (I usually find other ways to phrase that) and I most certainly am not. Every couple of years my oooh-that's-cool-I-gotta-have-it-now flairs up and in an attempt to avoid too...
