    Gulp. Found out my AR-15 wouldn't feed hollowpoints too well...

    RE: Stresstest and AR and hollowpoints... Based on experience with other semi autos I would place the blame on the ammo. Why? The rifle is designed to feed FMJs. Before you try all the other suggestions you have already discovered it works with FMJs. Anything else is only a bonus...

    Intresting observation about 25-06

    RE: 25-06....and the Roberts. Have fun with 25-06. It can do alot. I have never shot one or used one on game but i do know what a .243 WCF and a 6.5 x55 will do on deer. And since the .25 is in the middle with good velocity and plenty of good bullets out there it should be a winner... In...

    Women and guns, which book or reference?

    RE: gun books for women and men too. I would recommend Julie Golobs book "Shoot". Its good for all . Also the NRA has publications for women shooters as well as your state Division of Wildlife Dept has literature and courses for women. There is also the "Becoming an Outdoors Woman "...

    M-1 Garand cycling issues

    One thing to pay attention to....... Keeperfaith some may have mentioned this to you but make sure the small end of the operating rod fits into the little groove along side the receiver of the rifle. You would be surprised at how many so called experts dont pay attention to this detail and...

    A little freaked out at the range today.

    RE: a little freaked out.... I have been in your position before and I have done the same thing. And yes it will bother you because you are a moral human being and are concerned over the possible consequences of your fellow mans actions. Sometimes in life I think we just get emotionally...

    696 LGS find.

    Re: 696 !! Good job and I hope its shoots well for you! The Bozos over in this part of the country are always trying to make their house payments when they put 696s up for sale. Seriously I have seen people asking as much as $1100 for one. In fact anything thats a 44 special gets jacked...

    bought a remington 788 have some questions

    Re: 788s and questions...... I will get in on this too. I love my 788 and it was my first deer rifle and it served well. I still have it. Its was topped with a Leupold 1.5x5 and I used 150 Federals all the time. Later on I reloaded and used 165 Hornady Interlocks. The deer couldnt tell...

    Slug accuracy/range in a remington 870 cylinder bore

    Re: Texan.... Somebody else mentioned Federal Tru-balls Slugs. They will give you exactly the performance you want. they are designed for smooth-bore shotguns and can even in some slug guns make them shoot almost as good as a rifle up to the ranges you need. i have used them to hunt...

    Rossi 92 anyone had or have one?

    RE: Kyles .357.... I have one and I like it! Just be aware that 92s and other lever guns that shoot .357 sometimes are a little picky in their diets of .357 loads due to the overall length of the rounds. My Rossi did not like Independence .357s with 158 grain softpoints and would not feed...

    Have you ever damaged a gun?

    Damaged guns and blowing up Glocks.... Guns do not blow up for the heck of it. There is always a human being behind the blow up who caused it. I get tired of all the Glock bashing. Some of you cheap reloaders out there reload brass that should be in the scrap barrel. Dont blame the Glock...

    Are cast lead bullets OK for auto guns?

    Lead in auto pistols..... Lead bullets are not a problem in most autos just use a good hard cast bullet. Several years ago Glock changed the rifling in the barrels of G21 and other .45 ACP Glocks just to make the American market happy. The polygonal rifling normally used in all Glocks is...

    Is Apply For An FFL Worth It?

    Re: FFL and is it worth it..... I dont know you but after reading your thread and subsequent responses I have a feeling you are looking for someone to help you justify and say "Yes". Get a part time job in a gunshop and learn all about it with someone elses money. And that advice applies...

    AR Gas System Characteristics

    Re: NorthArk and AR15 and AKs..... I would agree with you that certain aspects of the AK do not lend themselves well to the idea of "modularity" that ARs do as well as the marketing hype that focuses on this. And yes it is overall easier to change a barrel on an AR than the Kalash. AK barrels...

    AR Gas System Characteristics

    RE: more info on AR gas systems... Patrick Sweeney has authored a 3rd book on AR 15s and covers the topic of gas systems and barrel lengths very well if you are looking for reading material on this other than this forum. I am interested in ARs but only just to read about them at this point...
