    22 hornet question

    I'm on my second rifle for it. I handload for it, so ammo cost really isn't an issue, given the small amount of powder, and reasonably priced bullets. I've found the biggest problem with reloading is holding the small bullets with fumbly fingers. Otherwise it's fun to shoot, no recoil, low...

    Russian PKM machine gun in 7.62x51mm for LE?

    Somebody will still be using those T-55s fifty years from now.

    lead poisoning

    I shoot indoor smallbore over the winter; the only time the fan gets turned on where I shoot is when the older members can taste smoke or can't see their targets. When we're done, a couple of them dry sweep the brass into a dustpan, then dump it into a mesh screen box and shaken over the trash...

    Making, melting, and molding your own bullets....

    I/ve melted a lot of lead, but melting brass? Forming raw brass into a cartridge case is a factory process; I'm not aware of anyone that has done so as a hobby reloader. I've used Lee 6-cavity molds for some of my 9mm with mixed results. Same with .308, with decent results for informal...

    Win 52B front sling I have Winchester Model 52B I'm using for 4 position smallbore (50 foot). It has individual threaded holes for a front swivel, rather than the adjustable sliding rail. Anyone know where I can find a correct swivel or hand stop for the model I have...

    DoD, Iraq war, and the militia talk

    I would suggest that what is termed a "militia" in Iraq is more in line with the private "armies" employed by regional Chinese warlords in the early 20th century. Privately paid, armed, and directed in accordance with one individuals aims.

    Mobile Infantry reporting for duty

    I would think this would eventually have some applications in urban disaster rescue/body retrieval where large earthmoving equipment is insufficiently delicate, but hand/shovel debris removal is difficult due to rubble size.

    Today’s Experience with Gun Show Wackadoos

    Now that I'm enlightened, I hereby declare my intent to rid myself of the following instruments of evil: my WWI German Mausers for their role in the invasion of Belgium and France, and resulting loss of life; my WWII German Mausers for their affiliation with nazi's and and associated...

    "Somehow it went off"

    Several times I had the experience of standing at the barrel end of someone's A2, A4, or SAW while they fiddled with the trigger while standing in line at the messhall in Iraq in 03-04. I finally found after trying to nicely ask people to not do that, and getting no positive response, that...

    squirrel gun

    I used to do a fair bit of squirrel hunting. I started with shotguns, but switched to .22's for two reasons. One, if you treat the shotgun like a rifle, the meat is ruined. Two, if you become skilled using the edge of the shot pattern to get the squirrel, finding that missed piece of shot...
