Firearms / Truck Gun

« on: December 12, 2016, 09:40:50 AM »

Well got the ok from Misses for a new truck gun. I just want a budget friendly 45 1911. I'm going to look at ATI and Rock Island, and any others you can think of. I want a full size 5", Just to keep in the truck and take with me when we go to Alaska this summer. I have to read up on the paperwork going thru Canada! I know it Must be bigger than 4.1" barrel then have to find out the rest.

Thought I'd do a little write up on my son's new rifle.
Savage Mod 12 LRPV in 6 mm Norma bench rest 26" barrel
Leupold VX-6 7-42x56mm scope
Ken Farrell 20 moa one piece base and rings
Harris bipod
Lapua 105 gr hollow point boat tail about .472 bc
29-30 grains H4895 about 2800 fps

6mm round

100 yrd zero

Took him a few shots to get on target at 500 yrds.

After about 20 rds he had the dope just right, 6-9 mph of wind right to left no correction 10 mils up then he coul call head shots.

Build Threads / Front shackle mount

« on: February 11, 2015, 11:54:00 AM »

Number 2 son (Corporate Pilot) wanted new mounts on the front of his 11 DMax this is what we came up with

We used 2"x2" tube and 1/2"x2" flat. Number 1 son(Production Welder) is welder, fabricator, mechanic, Sport Pilot, jack of all trades

We welded everything up slid them in to mark bolt hole locations

Then we took the mounts over to a friends house with a mill to drill out the holes

Then slid in 1"id tubing welded that up , covered front with 1/8", finished all welds then off to powder coating

Firearms / 9mm AR-15

« on: December 06, 2014, 09:22:09 AM »

What do you guys think of a 9mm AR for the Wife as a home defense gun. I'm thinking short ,light, no recoil it won't go thru all the walls in the house, but still has 32 rds and load it with good home defense rounds it should be good for close quarters. What brands should I look at and which to stay away from. Thanks
