Bob, Good read. My point above was simply that subgun effectiveness is not premised solely on a single round hit probability. I was not suggesting that there's any difference between X number hits in FA vs X number hits in SA. Sorry if I was unclear. Sam

MP5 ROF is higher than that of the Thompson.......or the M3 grease gun. All three are eminently controllable in FA or burst. .45 hits harder, yeah, but how much 230 gr fmj ammo can you hump? Bigger mags for bigger rounds take up more space, too. I like them all. The Thompson is kinda...

Nothing obscure about BM59s among the NFA crowd. The tri-comp really works. No experience launching grenades, but BM59s are much more controllable in FA than M14s - or G3s and FALs, for that matter. That said, "controllable" is a relative term when applied to 7.62X51 battle rifles. All are...

I use .300 Wins and Wbys for whitetails. They are not too much. There are equally flat rounds of lesser power. There are equally powerful rounds with less flatness. If you need to reach out someday, the combination of flatness and horsepower will cheer you. Bullet selection is important. I...

I would love to have a 90 deg selector for my K2, but I have to agree with Ash. This will be a labor of love for you - you're not going to make a killing on this item. Sam

Heavy for bore diameter bullets require "faster" twist rates. 1:12 is faster than the 1:14 typical of many .22-250s. But it's not exactly "fast". I would guess it will do fine with 60 to 64 gr sporting stuff. You will have no problem stabilizing weights less than 60 gr - I think...

500 yds is a long way for the typical .22 CF if you're trying to dial in about 2" of rodent body width. I hit a crow at a measured 450 yds with a 40XB-KSS in Swift once............I said once. At that distance the poor-BC .22s are no match for the .24s, .25s, and up. The slightest puff of...

The HBAR is a manufacturing expedient. Nothing wrong with it, really. But it does not handle like a .gov profile A2. Then again, the A2 barrel doesn't handle like an A1 until you chop it to say 14.5". This allows you to give up some velocity.............reducing fragmentation range of the...

Two words: BRNO ZKM611. OK, I lied. Sam

Older Wolf was lacquer coated and if you paused long enough with a hot barrel a stuck case could result. Even so, it never happened to me. Have over 10k black box Wolf poly mostly through 3 different M16 uppers. Zero problems of any type. No broken parts. No failures to cycle. Money...

Dedicated .22rfs like Tippman's, AM180s, and Norrel 10/22s are excellent NFA toys. But if you're looking to buy a single do-all NFA MG consider that a M16 can accept any number of .22lr uppers/conversion units. Kuehl, Ceiner, Lakeside LM7 are just a few. These kits/uppers are reasonably...

I see it the other way. I picked up a stainless SS convertible. I wanted a trainer for my son in .22LR. And I wanted something with a bit more whack for porkies and such when I'm on the tractor. As it turns out my SS likes .22 Mag ammo very much and shoots to the same POI as with minimags...

I have a technical question about this poll. When I tried to vote for both multiple guns in the same caliber, and for multiple different calibers for diversity - as my conscience dictates - my terminal would not allow me to cast such a vote. Will continue working on the problem, unless...

Assuming you're interested in high-cap mags, ditto to Butler Creek. Even the plastic lips version work very well in my guns. But don't diss Ruger 10 rd factory mags - they're still the most reliable IME. Sam
