    Ruger Mini-14 or Mini Thirty?

    Just a note on the Mini 30, I own a 1980's model that is really fun to shoot. With that said, it will not shoot wolf or other cheap steel cased with any amount of reliability because of the hard primers but will run like a dream with your more expensive boxer primed brass case ammunition. Since...

    pistol caliber vs. 223/556 in a 7" barrel

    no specific use in mind but it might be employed as a plinking tool and working overtime as a home defense weapon.

    pistol caliber vs. 223/556 in a 7" barrel

    If you found yourself in a need/want for an AR pistol in the 7" barrel variety, what caliber would you get? at a 7" barrel, is a 223 not as useful as say a 9mm or .45? does the .223/556 loose enough benefits so that its on par with a pistol caliber with a huge increase in noise? what...

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    I believe it would recoil downward because of were the center pin is on the rotation arm. It is located higher than the connecting rod for the carrier group and the idea is to make the armature to swing in a downward force. albeit this is only a small amount of time in the action,i think it...

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    the idea more or less started as an intellectual design and started with no springs. then i saw that I couldn't because I need a trigger spring. Here's what I perceive in this design. less perceived recoil as its directed down when the shot is fired. No buffer spring like that of an AR-15...

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    the front bolt itself works similar to an AR-15, I just couldn't render it properly.

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    update.... OK, i solved a few problems that were found in the drawing. I realize I cant get rid of every single spring in a gun because I still need the trigger spring. I need help on where to put the firing pin. should I make it a 2 piece pin or put the pin at an upward angle? Like...

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    I'm updating photo's now but I'm thinking the mechanism will lock by using something similar to an AR-15 bolt with a shorter carrier to reduce size. since i dont have a model to work with on an ar-15, it may or may not be included.

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    crap...... I forgot to draw something huge. the problem arose when i tried to make an animation..... I meant so that the rotating piece would make a full 360 and on the returning 179 degrees of motion would strip a round and lock the bolt in place...... not hit the center pin. so consider this...

    piston bolt system.....an idea.

    the circular gas system on another thread got me thinking about an idea... Could you theoretically get rid of all springs in a gun? the drawing does not show where the hammer that activates the firing pin. That is located in between the arm. it does not show a slight off center on the...

    .22 Short Damage

    I wouldn't. even the ,22 short is powerful enough to kill a person. I consider it a .22lr @ 100 yards. cartridges of the world listed this info(from Wikipedia) 27 gr (1.7 g) RN 1,164 ft/s (355 m/s) 81 ft·lbf (110 J) 29 gr (1.9 g) RN 830 ft/s (250 m/s) 44 ft·lbf (60 J) 29 gr (1.9 g) RN...

    What guns have failed with HP ammo

    I believe its a type of ammo that has something in the hollow point that makes it feed like ball. a semi good example would be federal efmj.

    death at a Boise gunshow...

    here's what I know, I was at the gun show where this man died. however I did not see the incident but I do believe I saw the clean up crew(or what was left of it) of 2 police cars in to parking lot chatting. http://www.idahopress.com/news/article_478195dc-7e96-11e0-adaf-001cc4c03286.html...

    Aguila SSS - tested in a few of my rifles

    nice you tested these, I've found that they work quite well in my 10/22 with no tumbling until after 60-75 yards. desidog, the bullet was designed to tumble, and tumble it will do. do some test on water jugs and wet newspaper...
