Why our bases don't use recoil lugs
When we mount a scope on a receiver we have to make choices. Which scope mount, which set of rings. There are many choices on the market and everyone makes their mounts and rings a little bit different. Some are picatinny, some are weaver, some use recoil lugs, others don't.
One of the most common questions we receive is; "Why do you use tapered head screws and not recoil lugs?". It turns out that receiver's dimensions are not always consiste

Can You Believe It - .50 BMG Rated?!
We received a Facebook message from Grant H., one of our customers asking if our Keystone Rings were .50 BMG rated. He had another brand's rings that were .50 BMG rated and he had issues with them. We responded saying we had not tested them on a .50 before, surprisingly, no one here has a .50 BMG rifle with a spare handful of rounds ready to go. Being the curious folks that we are (George even has the shirt to prove it), we sent a set his way for som

Being located in the middle of the original thirteen colonies, as well as playing a key part in shaping the social

Straight Wall Cartridges
What's old is new again, again. There has been a resurgence in straight wall cartridges stemming from new laws on the books in certain states. Previously only allowing shotguns for hunting deer, states like Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and our own Pennsylvania are now allowing the use of rifles chambered for straight wall cartridges. Now, this isn't hunting advice, we always recommend checking with your local game commission to verify which laws they have on the boo

1911 Rear Sight Cuts
There are many different commonly used rear sight cuts for 1911s. This image covers many of the most popular that we make plates for.
Novak
The most popular rear sight cut is the Novak cut. The bottom of the dovetail measures around .50". Many
1911s use this cut, from Colts to Rock Islands. Some manufacturers do a better job at holding their tolerances with this cut and we have found that sometimes our mounts may require a bit of fitting.

We've seen it before - you have your gun and your scope, but that new short tube, 34mm glass you bought doesn't play nicely on your 7mm Mag. Your go-to twist in rings will not suffice, the tube is too short to reach. You must now use some sort of one piece rail with separate rings! Fear not, we have you covered.
There are many different options, but one of the most common ways to get your glass on your gun is by using an accessory rail.
Which one should I choose?
Well, a p
