I have a 10/22 that has been gutted and rebuilt with aftermarket parts as well as a newly purchased 10/22 TD. My son has a stock 10/22 as well.

I just read an article in this month's Armchair General (May 2012 issue, pages 18 & 19) that a lot of the equipment captured by the Soviets from the Japanese in August 1945 was turned over the the PLA as well as the Chinese areas areas that the Soviets liberated from the Japanese. (Mostly...

Excellent carbine. Over 1,000 rounds through mine without any issues.

Excellent, thank you.

Greetings all, I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P-15 MOE in FDE. I'm interested in picking up a spare bolt and firing pin as spares. Any suggestions as to which ones? There are a million choices out there. Just curious if anyone here has an M&P that they have picked up spares...

I didn't think about that. Yeah I suppose its easier and cheaper to just use the same casting mold as the milspec one already used. Agreed most don't know how to use one anyway. We got training on it but on my last deployment there were few that could actually mount one with M203's being...

I was looking through the Smith & Wesson catalog this evening and saw something that I was wondering about. I notice on the M&P 15 that there is a model (MOE version) that has a bayonet lug on it. Would you actually be able to use this with a military M-4 bayonet? Reason why I ask is...

Picked mine up for a bit below what was listed above. No issues so far. For what I wanted it for it fills that role nicely. [/IMG] It definitely has a love/hate reputation out there.

I have an XCR and I love it. Runs great and has lived up to my expectations. That having been said the company sucks. Take it for what it's worth. Kind of sad to me, such a great firearm from such a lousy place.....

My brother and I both own the Ruger Frontier rifle. (similar to the GSR if your not familiar with it.) He has the Burris fixed power (2.75x I believe) and I have the Leupold (2.5x). No issues or complaints from either of us. I think a variable power would have a tiny FoV at max...

Very good points that I hadn't thought about before. Thank you.

Just curious as to why Hornady doesn't make a turret press? Any thoughts?

Would love to get a Tikka Super Varmint in .22-250 but I'll be darned if I can find one.

I'm curious to know the rough size of the Hornady Lock-n-Load AP press with the automatic bullet feeder and the automatic case feeder installed. Roughly how high and how wide is this setup? (meaning from benchtop to top of feeders) How much space do you need roughly above the feeder...

Much appreciated everyone! My next task is to build some shelves in my locker that I'll be using for powder storage then I'll reinforce the bench top as recommended. Then I'll get my press and get started! Thanks again everyone!
