Pentax makes great spotting scopes and cameras but I am not impressed with the Gameseeker 3-9x that I own.

Check and make sure the gas key is properly staked.

There will always be lots of "my self esteem is all tied up in my rifle and you shot it down" types. The facts speak for themselves and unless someone can document that errors are shown on the chart, it provides valuable information for anyone willing to research the importance of the items...

The M1919 Browning is very controllable in 7.62x51:D

I've had mine for 3 years and it has been reliable, reasonably accurate and easy to maintain. The trigger on mine is fairly smooth and it is easy to shoot well but does string a bit as the thin barrel heats up rapidly. I have treated mine a bit rough and nothing has broke so I assume it is tough...

Go to http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPTP-1 and get one of these and your loose receiver problem will be solved.

I recently had a friend offer to sell me his collection of Ruger revolvers. All are in like new condition with some unfired. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of their value. Included are: Ruger Speed Six 9mm blue in box w/papers s/n 158-18xxx Ruger Hawkeye Win.256Mag blue s/n 2xxx Ruger...

I recently purchased several 6721's and the primary reason I chose them over the 6920 was the 1:9 twist rate. I primarily shoot 55 and 62gr bullets and occasionally 70gr and all seem to shoot very well from the 1:9 barrels. I wanted these carbines for short to medium ranges (0-500yds) and the 55...

And I thought the AR-18 was older than the Daewoo:rolleyes:

If you check you will find that Picatinny rails, forearms, folding stocks and charging handles are now available for the AR180B. The trigger group can be replaced by most AR15 FCG parts and they now have a threaded barrel for the FS of your choosing. Even though they are the unsung gas/piston...

Remember though that the stress that has been removed from the bolt has been transfered to the gas block. Both reliability and accuracy can be affected by gas block issues in gas/piston guns and that's why they are usually pressed and pinned. I can't tell for sure but it looks like the Masada...

Like the G36, the Magpul Masada appears to have a version of the AR18/180/180B operating system. The Masada has the folding stock, AR mag and piston upper with dual rails and even seems to have a front pivot. If well developed it could be a good gun but an AR180B is half the price!

The weak link in the piston AR's is the gas block/barrel fit. If it is not perfect you may get binding and that will cause malf's. I have a piston AR and like the advantage of not cleaning as often but do not see a major advantage over DGI systems.

I have been looking at the same scope. Other available choices are: Accupoint TR21 1.25-4x24 Burris XTR 1.5-6x40
