I have using an ultrasonic bath to clean brass lately. Works well. I got to thinking tonight, why not use an ultrasonicator to clean a barrel. I have a small probe for one in my lab that could be fitted into a chamber plug. It is used to break cell membranes. It is adjustable for wattage...

I usually try Lester Bruno first. Hard to beat his prices. Sinclair's has some nice unique stuff as you know. Then I try all the others. http://www.brunoshooters.com http://www.midwayusa.com/ http://www.shooters-supply.com/ http://www.benchrest.com/asa/e-store.html The home page on BC...

I called the phone number on the back of my NRA card and just ask to be placed on the "Do not contact" list. I read about it on a different shooters forum last year. It takes about 2 months for the mailings to stop, but the did for good. Luck, Tim

I got Ratigan's book for xmas. Very good read for a rookie. I haven't been using scope caps when cleaning. Some times I remember to put a cloth over my scope. Most times I forget. I got one of the patch catchers from Sinclair this fall and it catches most of the mist from when the brush...

You get at least 25 pieces of junk mail each year claiming almost free insurance of every type, request for funds to support a "do or die cause", and usually a few phone calls requesting funds as well. And yes, I am an NRA member. Until, I found out about the Do Not Contact list being...

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the PS was included with IBS membership. I will start with the NBRSA and then try to get the IBS as funds allow during the year. Happy shooting and I look forward to meeting some of you in person. Tim

Probably a hornet's nest, but I don't know and I don't have any one to ask. If I am going to try and shoot a couple of registered matches in 2010 in Oklahoma and Texas, which shooters organization should I join - IBS or NBRSA? Is membership a requirement of shooting a registered match? I have...

I have the rifle. Check out Rimfire Central http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/index.php. They have a sub-forum dedicated to Sako 22s. That is a very desired stock, but if one is available someone one their might know about it. Luck with your P94, Tim PS - If you are not happy with your...

I didn't get to take the summer off from teaching. I didn't get to try the program at all. Sorry for the lack of communication. tim

I shoot Randy's 95BIB FB in my 1:10 28" Krieger 6BR. Mine will stabilize the 95 Berger VLDs ok. But, for day to day performance I would shoot the 95 BIB FB base any day. I am shooting them at 600 yds with success. I don't feel they give up anything on the 105 VLD or 107 SMK in my 1:8 twist...

Murray State College in Tishomingo, OK, offer such NRA courses last summer. I really want to try and break free learning basic lathe and mill operation. Couldn't do it. Not sure what they will teach this summer.

I read on the forum that multiple shooters mentioned success with a pillar bedded stock instead of the traditional glue-in. All the glue-in I have seen don't use a recoil lug (or it is incorporated in the action). With those that used the pillar-bed, do you use a traditional recoil or just...

RG, Did you get the new ST-BR model stock? Tim

Called Lester this morning. He said there is an issue with a small percentage of the presses and a fix was underway. It would be a month or so before the fix would be ready. Maybe he was un-aware of it the first time I called about it right after I recieved it. They (Bruno's) have always...

Merry Christmas Thanks for the input from everyone. More than enough ideas. Funny how I couldn't come up with any on my own. I guess I am just dream about a new gun too much. Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you and may you have a blessed holiday season as you set around your...

I got a Bruno's arbor press for my in-line dies in the spring. I had never used a set of Wilson in-line dies before so I was green with usage. The press worked fine with my 6BR when I was running 0.001 or 0.002" under bushing for neck tension. However, with my 30BR is seems to favor a tighter...

great ideas Ok. You guys have helped me out. Definitely want a copy of Ratigan's book. Check on that one. Love the 2 piece bullet puller. Check on that one. Does the $18 include the Davidson bullet puller or do I need to order it as a second items?? BBS, brushes, and patches are a great...

I have a starter set of flags.

I am in a wonderful family that likes to give x-mas gifts that the person might enjoy. My in-laws have given a selection of fishing, hunting, and shooting gear. Since they know I am interested in BR, they told my wife to get me some things I want. She of course says buy what you want. I am a...

I made to shoot 3 matches this year. Unfortunately very little practice in between. At my last match, some one ask me which flag I paid the most attention to, I told them I watch them all the same. They said "hows that work for you?". Apparently that wasn't the right answer. Do you watch...
