DRUG FAIR RX BOREGUIDE DPMS AP4 .308

Rx Note: Diameter of the container is (1.200") almost similar to the bolt, fit is perfect that it will only goes in where the bolt goes, will not come out thru the side. The borebrush can be kept inside so it will not scratch the upper. BTW I drilled a hole at the bottom of the container to let the cleaning rod thru.








WARNING: THIS MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS

Hockey pucks placed on your bench work great when you place your rifle on top. Then drive the pins down between them. Rolls of electrical tape are the next best thing. Keep your old belt to use as soft jaws in your vise. And a cheap Harbor Freight rubber strap wrench works great to tighten muzzle cans. OTTO, the cheapskate.

I um, well, this may be a little sacrilegious, but to deal with the front pin detent, I just trimmed the spring a tad so it would sit just below the edge of the hole. Life made easy, and it still holds pretty darn well.

The stencil ensures they are all the same size and are consistent. The circle and head are 5 points, the octagon is 4, and outside that is 2. It's life sized, so you can use it at any distance. Shoot it backwards and 'guess' the center of mass and see how ya do. If you need a visual focus point, staple a pie plate in the middle over the 5 circle. Shoot a full mag of 30. 10 prone, 10 kneeling, 10 standing. At least one every range day. Record your score, the ammo, the distance, and the field position. Keep track and see how you improve. --Fargo007

Thanks! I'm going to start using this everytime I shoot.

If anyone is confused on the cutting...make the 1st. cut with the bag in the flat/folded state. After that, it's easy to see the 2 corners you have to cut.
The "head" part of the target is 1/2 of what once was the bottom of the bag.

That's awesome. This thread should be tacked.

My first tag

I can't remember the details, but a lot of guys put RTV in the space between the charging handle and the shroud of the upper receiver. A cheap alternative to the gas buster type mods.

I don't know if this has been mentioned on the previous pages but...

What do you guys use to darken the iron sights so they won't glare?
Whats a cheap and neat trick to get that done with?

Creedmore and similar have sight blacking. You can also use a carbide flame, or just a match/lighter.

Ok, I learned that Breakfree CLP works great to:

1. Loosen door locks that have been frozen due to a Hurricane, and last much longer than WD40

2. Removes road tar from your car better and quicker than WD40.

Don't smoke the butthole!

What the hell is he talking about!!? Im talking about the spring in A BIC lighter that pushes the flint up aginst the rolling strike wheel. It is exactly the same diameter and applies enough force on the detent when installed to keep the TDP from moving indefinitly. This way you dont have to order a .50 part and pay $7 in shipping for a stupid little spring that should have stayed in the gun anyway goddamit. JLS7 +1, That's the best tip yet.

When I first got my AR, I took the stock off and in the process, I heard something hit the ground behind me...... Took me a while to figure out that a spring used to be inside that little hole and now it's gone. I bet I spent a hour looking for that little spring. Won't make that mistake again.
Thanks for a great tip.

A Sharpie or other heavy black magic marker will do in a pinch.

My dad tried that on his Blackhawk and it made it black, but still shiny. Didn't help his glare problem at all.

Somebody on one of these forums suggested Alumahyde II flat black from Brownell's for sights. Haven't tried it yet. $10.42, but it would probably last two lifetimes if you're just doing sights. Says it's an "epoxy-based paint" so it should hold up well and not wipe off like the old carbon soot trick.

.

I doesn't surprise me that it didn't work on a Blackhawk. If the gun's finish is shiny (stainless, blued, etc...), the marker doesn't work. On an AR or other gun with a matte finish (ie phosphate, parked, etc..) it works very well.

Nails work just as well as brass punches.

can we get this tacked?
