Pigoutultra: In theory at least yes. Energy is lost over the distance it travels, this may be through heat, and other things. As an example, if you had a rifle 18 feet long a lot of energy would be absorbed. But lengthening it by inches? Not much of a difference. that's the basic principle...

Manco, I do the same thing. I either inspect every round when I get them or when I put them in time magazines. It doesn;t take long and it is well worth it.

The ADHD "encryption" is fine by me. I have ADD and can read code fine. I think the problem here is the measurement of recoil as opposed to "felt" recoil as opposed to "perceived" recoil and I would add "anticipated recoil". Lonesomewolf

Scary, but real. I don't particularly like WWB and I avoid using it. Now I most definitely will avoid it.

A good fire firefighter will assume there are any number of hazards and proceed accordingly. not all firefighters retain information well and they most definitely will not recall all hazards of which they are apprised regardless of the population, whether it is written down, etc. And with the...

thanks everyone. I appreciate your help and the links. I know this gun is not worth much even if in perfect condition. I just wanted a project. All my pistols and my carbine are fairly new and not in need of repair. this one needs a bit of everything. Refinishing stock, barrell, etc...

Am I in the right place here? Looking to see if thre are any parts anyone has that they don;t want for an old Topper M499 410. I have the barrel, stocks, just need a couple of mechanical parts. Thanks Lonesomewolf

H+R Topper thanks, Salvo 66. Appreciate your help. Got it pretty much dissasmbled. Should make a fun refinishing project. Not a glorious gun but if I get it to shoot right it should be fun and an addition to my gun collection. Lonesomewolf

Thanks for your post, Lonesomewolf. Everyone is too busy right now to respond to your post. Try again in a year or so. Wish we could help. Lonesomewolf

Hi Point Carbine I got a Hi Point 9mm a few months ago so I could determine for myself how good a gun this is. After 400 rounds I have had no misfires, no feed problems, no ejection problems, no problems of any kind.l It's a great gun. I have a red dot on mine which I like. I clean the...

I was given a topper R+H m488. Have never shot it. Have had it for years and I doubt it was fired for many years prior to that. It's stock is good, needs to be refinished. the barrel and chamber are rusted but not majorly so. I'm used to cleaning my semi auto pistols, but not rifles. Metal...

Have you tried a grenade launcher?

There seems to be less muzzle flip with the Sig P238 and better target reacquisition as well. Ita great size for concealed carry, my wife thinks it's a little heavy and it is heavier than some of the other 238's, but she doesn't realize that her roll of quarters and 3 dozen pens contribute to...

Sig P238 Get the Sig if you can afford to do so. I compared both. I chose the Sig and am quite pleased with it. Actually it's my wife's, and she also is quite pleased with it. Yes, it is more expensive, but I believe the quality of build is better with the Sig. In the end, both are good...
