Love my Hogue rubber side panels on my 1911. Grips like it's glued to your hand.

That's my baby....lotsa fun. Here's a vid I took of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOV96q2XVpc

Buckmaster fits like a glove

LOL...sub MOA accuracy and Kimber quality is never ugly.

I always wondered what the effects of crack were like Thanks-They were offered by CMP for a few months. A competition ready Kimber for $425 doesn't last long. You can find em on GB but as soon as they announced they ran out...the price doubled.

$425 each...#4162 and #192. Shipped out of south store. Enjoy yours!

Yup... All gone now.

Picked up my 2 today...I'll never get this much gun for the $$$ again.

Picked up my twin Kimber 82Gs today from CMP. WHat incredible rifles for the price! If you got in on 'em....woohoo! For those who missed it...get ready to pay triple pretty soon.

Yup-

Here's my downsized locker...wife made me consolidate.

All great stuff...Thanks all! Since both are unitized mount/rings...that may be it...I'll remount using a 1/4" torque wrench Thanks PS- Awesome Mauser!

Sorry for the delay...back from a business trip...Here are the combos and guns: Mossberg 144...1" ring base combo made for this rifle. Swift 3x9940 scope Colt AR...PEPR mount, Nikon 4x12 SF Monarch Used bore sighter for both, thats how I found I was so off Both off by about 16" at about 30 feet (longest I could go from the garage to the back wall)

I must be doing something wrong. The last 3 installs would not get on paper no matter how much adjustment...maxxed out windage, elevation or both. I end up having to use Burris rings with the inserts (and twice that didn't give enough adjustment), or having to shim the SH*T out of it. The bases are tight, the rings are torqued evenly...but still every install turns epic. Any gunsmith tips? Thanks

Great find! When were you out there...I'm hearing that racks are empty these days....BTW Did you notice how the Kimber 82G supply looked?

Figured on giving it to CR for their safety presentation

Yup..already back at Mossberg getting re-barelled . The action was fine.

5.56....no definately not a mint bore

First off...all is well, no one hurt....(even my boxers survived) This is what happens when a round just doesn't sound "right" and you fail to check your barrel. I was sighting in a new scope. I fire..went bang, but felt light and nothing on the target. It was the first round of a newly installed scope so no big surprise to not be on paper. But (stupid me) I don't check the barrel and fire again...BOOM!!! After the report all I hear is "SPROINGGG" as my barrel turns into a tuning fork. You can clearly see where the preceeding squib failed to leave the barrel. These were reloads from a respectable source in which I have fired nearly a thousand without incident. Not too proud of this, but I put it out there to remind all that an accident can be just one missed action away...

Nothing to be embarrassed about...getting a new scope on paper is a bitch sometimes! +1 on sighting down the breach...best way to rough in sighting. Sometimes you still can't get it dialed in and you will have to shim the scope in the rings. I use strips of soda can to raise or lower, or change windage. Get it close then dial in. Good Luck!

Congratulations on catching "Garanditis"! I see many more in your future . I own three: A certified CMP, a home grown 6 digit, and a private purchase presumably CMP. Anytime I see cost come up with a home build I always have to interject that building your own M1 is about personalizing it, restoring it, accurizing it...but rarely about saving money. A home built Garand is about being YOUR Garand. Enjoy it!

+1 SVT40...you can see the stamped bolt cover and the bolt cutout pretty clearly.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the military considers "serviceable" up to 6 throat erosion. You always want the tightest numbers, but you have a lot of leeway. You always hear stories of barrels with 10,000 plus and "a good 1/2' of space between chamber and rifling ( 500 TE!!!!) still shooting strong". The consensus seems to be don't get caught up in TE/ME in a shooter. My suggestion is get a heapload of HXP and enjoy it!
