The RORG headstamp DOES stand for Royal Ordnance Factory Radway Green, so that's probably it. http://www.igman.com/ammunition/codes/R/RORG-UK.html

Found a deal online that seems to good to be true. 500 rnds of British XM855 for $120. Is there something wrong with British 5.56 ammo? Marked as discontinued by manufacturer. I read that some was downloaded for the Brit's rifles, but the 855 should be up to US spec, right? Product...

Operation Eldest Son SOG would carry a few loose rounds, oftentimes putting only one "Eldest Son" round in the middle of an AK mag left laying around after a battle. Supposedly the VC wouldn't be suspicious of a full magazine. When the round was fired the AK bolt would blow back into the...

We shoot 1 state handgun qualification a year with duty ammo, the rest is with practice ammo. In addition to the 1 state qual, we have 5 other handgun shoots + 2 cold weather shoots + 2 low light shoots. We shoot our 870's twice a year, and our M14's twice a year. We try to get the troops...

My Mini-14 is done with its sabbatical and is again out of the safe. Before I buy some surplus 5.56x45mm ammo, I need to know if 5.56 ammo is safe to use in my .223 Rem? My Mini-14 manual and a book by Duncan Long says firing 5.56mm in my Mini-14 is OK, but SAAMI...

Thanks, I forgot about Boyds. I'll look for some alum floorplates, the plastic ones rub me wrong.

I need to find a new stock for my long action Remington 700. I'm trying to stay away from the factory white spacers and glossy black endcap look. I like the looks of the newer CDL stocks, or even plain-jane walnut without the endcap is fine by me. It's for a hunting rifle that will continue...

I recently moved from South Dakota to North Dakota, and remembered that I need to change the address on my C&R License. Negotiating the ATF website wasn't fruitful, so I thought I'd ask here. How do I change the address for my C&R license, and what form(s) do I need to fill out? Links would...

What's smokeless powder?? As much as I personally would like, we won't be going with a single action auto, so it's gonna be DA or DAO. Troops have mentioned that they would like the option of different style grips or backstraps. One size doesn't always fit all, and all our grips have...

The North Dakota Highway Patol is looking at getting new handguns. They currently have S&W 4506's. Needs/wants are: DA or DAO semi-automatic .40 or .45 caliber adjustable grip styles (e.g. change mainspring housings or grips to fit individual hands) night sights prefer larger capacity...

They're not "match" sights, but the MMC sights on my 1911 are built like a tank, and give me the option of hitting the target at longer distances.

The problem I had with my 1911 was with my magazines. The factory magazines that came with my Springfield are awful. I bought some Wilson mags and don't have problems. No other tinkering was necessary with my pistol.

I am in the North Dakota Highway Patrol Academy, and our current instructors are from the USDOT, teaching us the FMCSR (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations). The instructor told us last week that the Feds have no regulations concerning firearms in CMV's. (State laws apply. If you could...
