Is Bob Z wanting to know what the stock is worth, or the whole gun? Hard to tell from his post. Don

Butch, Yes, I subscribed to SCN from the first issue and enjoyed it; then got burned when it died and subscribers were never refunded the balance of their subscription paid or offered an alternative substitute. At the time, didn't really know why; had often dealt with Todd and his Woodchuck Den...

Gary, YoooVinny is correct about buying guns out of state. I work in the hunting dept. at a BPS in Iowa and we ask to see the FOID card for Illinois residents, they complete the 4473 form, we call it in to NICS, get the 'proceed' and then they have to wait 24 hrs before they can pick up their...

Boyd, I'll take one of those wind-reading bushings, too!! Don

I have one of the 22 PPC's that I've owned for over 20 years. It's a great single-shot action and also fun for shooting prairie dogs. Just remember that these are PPC-USA chambered, not the more typical PPC. The factory stock does have a little bit of beavertail contour to the forearm, but is...

Fitch, Your bench design is the one from the National Reloader's Association plans. I built one, too, many years ago, down to the sliding doors and drop door on the bench top portion. It's held up very well, including surviving one move. That lower shelf area under the bench can hold a huge...

+1 on the Chargemaster. Don

Ron, Thanks for serving as the match director, again, and hosting a well-run shoot. We all appreciate your hard work. Don

Steve, As Mike said, the lower can be any standard AR15 style lower. I had Robert Whitley build me a 6mmAR upper which is the 6.5 Grendel case (a PPC based case) necked down to 6mm. This upper with match grade barrel and other components sits on top of a standard Bushmaster lower. Put...

I've also bought from Lake Charles Mfg. Purchased 250 of the Pyrex 10x75ml glass vials with snap on/off plastic lids - they work great! Enough capacity to hold any PPC or 30BR type charge. I would recommend the glass over the plastic to cut down on some of the static electricity; easy to get...

Anecdotal information only - Any firefighters that I have spoken to who have been around when they have opened up the gun safes after a major fire have indicated that none of the safes provided the guns much protection (in their experiences). The reality of the situation is dependent on where...

I'm a big fan of the traditional dial locks. I sell safes at BPS and over the years the most calls coming in from disgruntled safe owners are those that purchased an e-lock safe and can't get in it. Regarding fire protection, there is no UL standard test protocol that all manufacturers use...

Shinny, I sent you a PM. Don

John Isn't the Woodchuck Den out of business? I know that Small Caliber News magazine is defunct; they ceased production and left subscribers with remaining issues out in the cold. I had ordered from Todd K. on many occasions, but haven't received any mailings since about the time the...

Case lube - I like Imperial Die sizing wax; works great and is easy to wipe off. Don

Joe, thanks for sharing your thoughts - great info. As a new shooter, I'm trying to be a sponge and be better prepared for my next match. Don

Nader - Correction - that should have been 27.9 grains of 133 at 53 clicks.

Nader - FWIW, my Harrells Premium measure only kicks out 26.9 gr. of 133 at 53 clicks. So, yes, I do appreciate seeing load info listed as grains/weight instead of so-many clicks.....Don

I think that Sinclair is now owned by Brownells, not Midway. Don
