Thanks, I got the idea from The Backwoodsman Magazine a few years ago.

I made the stock - makes a huge difference in shootability.

Has anyone polished the feed ramp on their AR-7/Henry US Survival rifles? Or for that matter made any mods to cure the failure to feed issue?

I just got my US Survival back from Henry. Can't say enough good things about their customer service! I bought the rifle back in '00 and it was jam prone, a trip back to Henry in '02 and it came back with the newer style steel-lined plastic barrel and worked pretty well. About a year ago, it...

Probably about 250 rounds were effected total. I may invest in some bullet lube and make a night of relubing the bullets. Do I have to make sure that all of the old lube is off first though? - that would be a pain and probably not worth it. I'm not so cheap that I'm beyond throwing the...

My apartment flooded about a year and a half ago and a bunch of my .22 ammo got wet. I dried it all out right away but the moisture has affected the wax coating on the bullets. I've shot some of it and never had one fail to go bang, but the wax is white now and seems to flake off easily...

I'm interested in doing the same conversion on my Stevens 200, did CDI have anything that would work with the Stevens 200?

Well, I took one round out of the mag and it seems to make all the difference. So now it's in the night stand with 7 in the mag and 1 in the chamber instead of 1 chambered round plus 8 in the mag. So is the consensus that in time and with use the mag spring will break in so that I can go back...

I just picked up a new mag for my Colt 1991A1 .45. It's a Wilson SS 8 rnd flush fit. It's the one with the plastic bottom, it does stick out a bit which is a bit of a let down but that's not the real problem. Problem is when I load up 8 rounds in the mag, it seems harder than normal to get to...

My wife and I are planning on attending our first Appleseed Event this August in Ottawa, IL. In doing some research I found out about the Liberty Training Rifle, so I decided we needed a couple for the event. My wife is very new shooter so I wanted to make sure we were shooting the same type...

I was handling my Colt 1991 a-1 gvt. the other day when I noticed that the safety wasn't working correctly. I quickly realized that the plunger tube was loose from the frame causing things to get all jammed up. I was wondering if this is something that Colt would warrantee if I sent it into...

Thanks 45ACPUSER, I thought of that after I posted...duh! Hornady lists the C.O.L. for this bullet in .308 Win. as 2.740". I readjusted my die and got it right there.

I'm new to reloading and just bought everything I need to reload for my new .308 Stevens 200. I have a Lee Classic Loader in .308, 100 Hornady 110 gr V-max bullets, a bunch of large rifle primers and a pound of IMR 4198. I've read that you want to get the bullet as close to the rifling as...

I want to see another big shipment of SKSs come over! I guess I'm just wondering if the fact that they were here and now they're not means that they have all been sold.

Well, maybe I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I just requested my C&R License application. I was lucky and got in on the inexpensive Yugo M-48's a few years ago, I also picked up a Yugo SKS when they were all over and inexpensive. As far as I can tell, the hot C&R item right now is the...
