    Cheap DIY industrial-strength shaft collars for know-your-limits racks that use EMT

    I bought the KYL rimfire/airgun target rack from ShootingTargets7 recently -- I love 'em. Before I even had them put together, I started looking for some off-the-shelf steel shaft collars that would fit the 3/4 EMT. I figured steel would look cool and hold better too. BUT, the outside...

    KYL (know your limits) rack competition scoring question

    In competition shooting, when shooting a "know your limits" target, does it count if the paddle does not go all the way around? By competition, I mean official competitions like NRL22 and similar. In other words, does it count if the shooter just barely knicks a paddle? stovepipe

    FX FX liner lock nut (jam nut) sanity check -- how tight?

    I know the answer to the question "how tight should my jam nut be" is going to depend on liner length, caliber, fpe at the muzzle, whether the rifle is using o-rings as spacers between the liner and the barrel housing or a carbon fiber spacer instead. There are probably a lot of other things to...

You guys know how the plenum pressure goes up when the ambient temperature goes up...

    I never need to clean my barrel -- am I the only one?

    I've got an FX Maverick Sniper 30 Cal shooting NSA 54.5gr slugs through an FX Smooth Twist Superior Heavy barrel (1:18 twist rate). I cleaned the barrel when new and again after about 200 rounds through it. My muzzle velocity is approximately 950fps (don't know for sure because I can't trust...

    Authentic Atlas CAL Gen2 bipod -- simple mod to make the tension/lock lever work like I expected it to

    I bought an Atlas Cal Gen2 bipod many months ago. My specific model was the CAL BT69-LW17. I was very dissapointed with the way the podlok lever worked. I expected the tension to increase/decrease as I turned the lever and for the bipod to hold whatever tension I set it to. Atlas CAL bipods...
