    M1 Garand issues

    I have a mixmaster M1 Garand, and it has just recently begun a failure to feed, and failure to eject at sporadic times. Could it be the Op Rod? BTW, I searched the forums, but if this has been asked before I couldn't find it.

    Things I remembered at the range today

    I finally took a sanity day off from work to go to the range. While there, I remembered a few things: 1. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. 2. A good day at the range is better than, well, almost anything. 3. Shooting is a cheap form of mental rehabilitation. 4...

    Friend with a VISA

    I have a friend from Trinidad who lives in Georgia, and he wants to purchase a Glock 17. His lawyer said he would have no problems purchasing a firearm, but when he tried at a gunshow last weekend, the dealers told him no.

    Range Report, S. GA.

    Sorry for the large pictures-- that's how photobucket sends them. I'm sure there's a better way, but that's what I've got for now. It was a beautiful day in south Georgia (my in-laws in Ohio are submerged in snow), and since I had caught up on some Honey-do's, I decided to go to the range...
