      Three Newbies Go 1000 Yard Shooting

      I received an email saying that the 1000 yard range at the Bridgeville range would be open Thursday morning for practice, so myself and two other 1000 yard newbies decided to see what it was all about. We had a great time, with many thanks to FrankN and the other experienced 1K shooters that...

      Any way for MD resident to take an AR-15 into DE?

      I believe there is some provision in the new laws to have AR-15's somehow registered in DE, at least for DE residents, that would allow for transport. Wondering if there is any way for an MD resident to do the same? I am an MD resident but belong to a range/club in DE and at present cannot...

      40X in BR Competition

      In a field that included many full custom benchrest rifles and with several nationally ranked out-of-state shooters at the ARA Outdoor Unlimited 2023 Maryland State Championship on Sept. 17, a 1965 factory 40XB took 2nd place. The rifle has a Jewell trigger, has been epoxy/pillar bedded and...

      Cleaned up Nice! (Marlin 39A)

      Picked up a new (OLD!) rifle yesterday at Vigilant Tactical (<Kudos!). This 1979 Marlin Golden 39A rifle had apparently been stored wrapped in a blanket for what was obviously a LONG time, until the owner died and the rifle was found by his wife, who did not know there was a firearm in the home...

      Gun Scrubber / Inflation or Greed?

      Just an FYI . . . I use Birchwood-Casey Gun Scrubber spray when doing odd firearm related cleaning, especially action and trigger parts. I bought a 2-pack (2 x 10oz. each) from Amazon Prime last May for $11.99 + MD tax. Price for the SAME product on Amazon is now $23.60 + MD tax! Good news...

      Rimfire Benchrest Matches in MD / DE / SE PA?

      I would like to identify rimfire benchrest matches in the MD, DE, south-eastern PA area. I am aware of the ARA sanctioned matches in Salisbury, MD, but I’m also interested in other sanctioned and non-sanctioned matches held at other clubs/ranges in the area (that may be open to non-members). If...

      LOCAL (Cecil Co Area?) Gunsmith/Machinist to do Quality Re-Crown?

      I have a heavy contour (1.100" diameter) chrome-moly 22LR barrel that needs about 1/4" removed and to be recrowned. This is for a BR competition rifle, so the work must be top level (i.e. bore dialed in). I would like to get this done quickly (no significant lead time), and would much prefer...

      What the Heck is “Tactical Benchrest”???

      What the Heck is “Tactical Benchrest”??? (besides a whole lot LOT of fun!) Long Post Tactical benchrest is a 22LR based shooting discipline that gives new (and experienced) shooters an introduction to rimfire PRS (precision rifle shooting) type competition, WITHOUT all the moving around on...

      Remington 541-T Sacrilege

      I wanted to try out my Brian Voelker accurized 22LR Remington 541-T HB in PRS/MARS/NRL competition, but did not want to nick, scratch or otherwise mar the beautiful original walnut stock, which, 30 years on, is still in excellent condition. I purchased a Boyd’s laminate Varminter stock inletted...

      Not Black Rifle Porn

      Big Brother and Little Sister Two rifles I’ve just completed (~95%). “Big Brother” is a Krieger barreled 6BR in a Savage 10 short action. “Little Sister” has the action, barrel and trigger from a Brian Voelker accurized Remington 541-T HB (22LR). Both rifles have the actions epoxy bedded...

      6BR / Benchmark Loads

      Thought I'd move the thread from gunsmithing to here (rather than a PM) as others may be interested or be able to contribute info on 6BR loads using Benchmark. 4g64loser: Way at the back of a shelf I found an old, almost full bottle of Benchmark (apparently purchased in 2000 and first opened...

      Setting Headspace with a Fired Case

      A new pre-chambered barrel (for a Savage 10 action) will be arriving within a day or two and I would like to set the headspace to be similar to (ideally the same as) another rifle chambered in the same cartridge. I have fired, but not resized, cases from the existing rifle. Has anyone done...

      MARS 22LR PRS Match Saturday 8/13

      There will be a MARS 22LR PRS match at Bridgeville this Saturday, starting at 1pm. The Match Director has some interesting stages planned, and as always, this is an excellent, low-key match for new shooters to try out rimfire PRS shooting. Pre-registration on Practiscore appreciated. NEW...

      22LR Shooters Needed!

      If you haven’t tried it yet, rimfire PRS shooting is a fun and challenging shooting discipline, and is growing exponentially in the US. All that is needed to compete is a scoped 22LR rifle (bolt or semi-auto) with a detachable magazine (that is zeroed at a known distance) and about 100-150...

      MD Residents at Delaware Ranges with Semi-Automatics?

      I'm not up on the details of the new draconian DE gun laws. As a MD resident will I be able to bring a semi-auto firearm to a range in DE? Is there an exception for semi-auto rimfires (22LR)? Thank you.

      Starline 224Valkyrie Cases – Split Order?

      Starline cases for the 224Valkyrie have just become available after a long drought. Bad news is the only place I can find them is Midway, and at $339.99 per 500. No smaller quantities appear to be available anywhere. Although expensive, I could use 200 or 300, but not the full 500. Is anybody...

      MARS match at Bridgeville DE Saturday 6/4 (22LR PRS)

      The Bridgeville, DE BRPC range will be hosting a MARS match (22LR Precision) this Saturday June 4th. The Course of Fire has been published and it looks MUCH easier than the inaugural match (bigger targets, less movement per stage), and the weather forecast MUCH cooler with LOW WIND. Should be a...
