    Suggestions for gun-related 8th grade science project neeeded

    It might be cool to make a "chronograph" by hanging a big log (that has been weighed) and shooting it with a certain load and showing the mathematics of how the length of swing from the log, combined with the known weight of the projectile and the log itself can demonstrate the velocity of the...

    .310 vs. .311: close enough??

    Slug that bore! My Mosin slugged at .313, and doesn't shoot .308 worth a darn. Since I'm using Lee dies, which come with a .308 neck sizer, I ordered the .303 british neck sizer (which is .310, and cost 7 bucks including shipping). Since then, my groups have shrunk considerably, while using...

    Picking out a Mosin-Nagant

    I've heard this helps, and I tried it with my M44, but to no avail. Should this also help with the 91/30? My buddy's shoots great with no bayo, god I want to steal his...

    Picking out a Mosin-Nagant

    Ok, so my buddy got a 1943 91/30 Mosin, which we reload for with .308 bullets, and it is DEAD accurate. I have since purchased a 1944 M44, and a 1944 91/30, both of which don't shoot worth a darn (both have .311 groove diameter). All of the bores/rifling look pretty. Is there any way I can...

    Anyone heard of a primer shortage?

    Local shooting range... Hey primerinmyshoe, are you speaking of Bullseye LLC? (I too live in St. Louis) They said something once to me about letting anyone come in there and clean the joint up, but that was a while ago, and I figured that with brass prices nowadays, they probably would not...

    Knives In Self-defence: What Are Your Objectives?

    :banghead:What would you do if you didn't have a knife? Well, do that, but with a knife in your hand. Anything is better than nothing, and while a "knife fight" sounds undesireable, a knife can definitely turn the tide of a "fight". At the very least a knife can be a pressure weapon, just like a...

    Is the Desert Eagle .50AE the most powerful production pistol?

    I think you can get a DE chamber for 440 cor-bon if I'm correct... I think it's ballistics were a teeny bit superior. But if revolvers count, the .500 S&W definitely wins. DOPE!

    Thinking about replacing a Kahr P-9 ...

    What about a Glock 26 or a Springfield XD Sub-compact 9mm? The double stack mag will fill your hand better, and give you more ammo, in addition to weighing more than your 14 ounce Kahr. Less recoil, larger grip, and more ammo.:)

    small 380/9mm ccw pistol

    I'm not so well versed in 200-300 dollar guns... And you don't want to hear what I think of the ones I am familiar with. I'm not gonna say anything about Kel-Tec, but I did own one for about a week. My CW-9 is about the least expensive gun I've ever owned, other than mil-surp guns, and I think...

    what lubes do you use, and on what guns.

    Hmm... Looking at bottle of mobil 1... "FULLY SYTHETIC"...:scrutiny: I think that means no Dino remnants... Either way, CLP for everything, cleaning and lubing. It may look like it's all gone after a bit of shooting, but if one lube goes 2000 rounds in my AR with a LOT of rapid fire, with no...

    Got a Taurus PT1911, think it's a lemon.

    Thanks for all the advice everybody, I got a couple wilson mags, and the problem with failing of the slide to lock is fixed, as is the problem with mags failing to eject as well. I honestly, and probably naively didn't even question the ammo at all, because I've NEVER had any issues with wwb...

    Lightest recoiling .40 ?

    The Sig 226 is VERY nice, and you can get a factory "refurbished" one pretty cheap.
