I have an Ar with a fixed front sight. I would like to put on a new gas block with a rail so I could attack a folding front sight. Does this require much in the way of tools or dexterity? I have only a little of each.

In .38 I usually load HBWCs for a Ruger Security Six I shoot in a target league. I decided to try some of these light loads in my snubbie and got about 30% failures to ignite. I switched from Winchester to CCI primers with no change. The snubbie sets off commercial loads fine. (It's a...

I bought a Benelli M2 about a month ago. Back then I tested it with all the loads I had, from birdshot to slugs, but the lightest loads I had were about 3 dram, 1 ounce loads. At the store the other day I picked up some 7/8 ounce, 2 3/4 dram Remingtons - STS moderated recoil light target...

One IDPA club is planning on a BUG match in August. I sometimes carry a Taurus 85 ti. Anyway, when I actually carry the little guy I carry spare ammo in an MTM ammo wallet, which I could no more reload with under fire than I could fly. The spare ammo in the MTM is for reloading while...

I just got back from the FNH Midwest 3 gun championship. FNH had a prototype Scar there that we could handle. This the new 5.56 and .308 rifle proposed either just for special forces or for everyone. (It's a little unclear to me.) I took it apart. What a simple, clean mechanism! Very...

There was a show on last night about some polar bears killing some hikers at Spitzbergen, Norway. Two women were hiking, one was killed, one got away. Two men were hiking, the man fired a .22 revolver in the air to frighten the bear, which did not work. The bear then killed him. Then they...

I've been using a Remington 1100 Competition Master in 3 gun matches for several years. That model isn't made any more. Yesterday it wouldn't load the magazine fully, had a couple of failures to feed, and then the Easy Loader fell off right in the middle of a stage. I realize all these can be...

I have two Dewey one piece cleaning rods, one for .22 and one for .30 calibers. They have male threads on the end, but each came with a brass adapter which is female at both ends to allow you to put in male threaded rod tips. I have lost the one for the .22 and can't figure out what to...

The caption reads: "A member of the militia stops off to do some shopping on the way home from shooting practice." http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn294/anotherokie/schweiz/schweiz.jpg Actually this is my try to see if I've figured out how to link to pictures.

My AR is a 20 inch Bushmaster. It's a fine rifle, but I would like to have a suppressor. My Bushmaster was an AWB purchase, with no threads or flash hider or compensator. If I buy another AR for purposes of using a suppressor, I'm thinking I need a 16" barrel with threads at the end and a...

An interesting Oklahoma case appears in the current issue of the Oklahoma Bar Journal. Leaving out the irrelevant details, two drivers get into it, one gets out and shoots the other. The shootee sues, and when the shooter doesn't show up, changes the case from an intentional act to an...

At my last 3 gun match I missed some fairly easy shots with my shotgun because I went too fast and didn't get a good sight picture. In the great American tradition of seeking a technical solution to a human problem I decided to check out ways to spread the shot faster. I bought a Briley...

Has anyone patterned these? I bought some #9, 1 1/8 ounce loads and haven't had time to pattern them yet. I'm curious if anyone else has tested them to see if they work.

I am just about done with my box of Danish surplus and took out a few of the Korean surplus I ordered to look it over and check cycling. It has the PS headstamp, which is supposed to be non-corrosive. The Danish surplus came in boxes with clips in the bottom, so naturally I looked at each...

I don't know much about optics and in our family we have always had inexpensive binoculars, such as Bushnells. I sometimes carry a small pair of binoculars when hiking, but the pair I have is cheap and has poor glass. I was considering ponying up for something nice, but it occurred to me a...

When I first got my Oklahoma permit, it wasn't recognized widely, so I got a Florida permit as well. But now I can't really see that there is any advantage to in terms of the states recognized. From the handgunlaw website it seems as if Oklahoma is actually recognized by at least one state...

I saw a picture of a pink AR stock set somewhere but can't find it now. Who makes unusual colors for AR handguards and buttstocks? Trying to keep the wimmins happy!

I have a full stock on a 20" AR. I've been using a three point sling that works fine and allows both traditional over the shoulder carry and in-front carry, but it sure does have a lot of material! Using it in a match I found it a little busy. What is a good one point sling, easy to install?

My Bushmaster has about 3,000 rounds through and I've had no problems except a few hard primer rounds. Until the middle of a match today. I reloaded from a locked-back bolt, pulled the trigger, and got nothing. When I looked down there was double feed, but not the typical double feed with...

I've been reading about Washington as a farmer and slave owner recently and found that his slaves, at Mount Vernon at least, could hunt and fish on their own time to supplement their food. They could legally own guns if their master gave them permission, which Washington often did. He also...
