Although this is not a difficult or difficult task, there are many ways to make it go wrong. This video will explain common pitfalls when mounting a scope. 1. The rings should not touch any part of the turret housing or objective bell. Make sure the scope rings are securely secured to the base of the scope. You can grasp the scope with one hand, and the rifle with the opposite. This will ensure that there is no play. You should ensure that there is clearance between the scope and the rifle’s objective bell. The scope should not touch the rifle. Never over-tighten scope rings. It is possible to crush the scope tube and cause irreparable damage to the optic. Keep to the torque specifications! How to Use Hornady OAL tool and Hornady bullet comparator Gun Tech Steve Ostrem explains the proper use of Hornady’s Overall Length Gauge. This allows you to precisely determine length-to land. The OAL Gauge has a modified case that threads onto it and holds a bullet. Push the gauge back until the bullet touches the rifling. To ensure that the bullet aligns correctly, we tap the rod gently at first. Once you have the length, use the tool with a comparator to determine the length-to land. NOTE: It is recommended to measure the length at least three to four times per row to get a reliable measurement. With some practice, repeatable measurements should be possible within.0015?. Air travel with firearms — Key regulations you must follow. Commercial airlines allow firearms. You must comply with the TSA regulations and any airline’s rules. Before you leave for home, ensure that your guns are unloaded. Guns must be kept in hard-sided, secure cases that cannot be opened. If the TSA needs to inspect the contents of the case, be prepared to unlock it. TSA agents can open the case if they have to but cannot locate you. TSA agents can open your case with master keys if you use TSA-approved locks. The video explains how to store ammunition safely and securely. It has been viewed over 1.7 million times. The good news is that ammunition will last a long time if it is stored properly. DO keep ammunition in a dry, cool place with low temperature swings. The temperature cycling can also cause powder and primer to become brittle. To keep it out of moisture, place it in an airtight ammo container. You can also use Tupperware containers. Brownells recommends that you place moisture-absorbing silica packets in your ammo container. Keep ammo in more than just factory cardboard factory boxes. Factory ammo boxes can absorb moisture, which can cause primers to deteriorate and corrode brass cases. Although sealed military ammunition can be stored for quite some time, it is not recommended. Two Gun Techs Answer the Question: What spare parts should I have on hand for my AR-15? Gas Rings, Buffer Spring Buffer Spring Extractor Spring and Pin are all on the list. NOTE: The one-piece spiral gas rings are better than the standard ones that require alignment. When the Bolt Carrier group is disassembled for cleaning, the cam pin and cotter pin can easily become lost. You will need spare springs and detents to attach the pivot/takedown pins to the lower receiver. Keep standard-power spares in stock if you are using lighter-power springs. To determine if your rifle is having problems, swap in the factory-spec Springs. You should also swap in the factory-spec springs if your rifle stops working. This will help you determine if it is the gun or your ammo. One myth is that cleaning a.22 LR barrel will affect its accuracy. Caleb believes this myth is caused by people cleaning the barrel from the muzzle crown and causing damage to the muzzle crown. This can reduce accuracy. The bore won’t be damaged if it’s done correctly. You don’t have to clean the bore of your 22LR every time you visit the range. However, you should clean the action after each shot, especially if the rifle is semi-auto. What about shooting lots of lead bullets? Will that not lead to bores? We also get the straight scoop from the guys on lead fouling. You might want to clean your.22 LR rifle’s magazines if they are showing signs of being open.
