What about a HiLux Malcolm-style scope?

No love for Sergeant York with a Luger?

Units weren't strictly tied to BOIP's or TO&E (Table of Organization and Equipment), and even now seldom have everything or everyone listed in those documents. Just because you need it, doesn't mean you get it. Higher commands often pull certain types of people/equipment from subordinate...

I think part of the interest comes from issues encountered with the early M16's in Viet Nam. During firefights, rifles got dunked in rivers and rice paddies. Some malfunctioned or worse. Such things can happen with any rifle, but the M16 was such a departure from the norm that its performance...

I prefer the term, "citizen".

Do you mean a High Standard Sentinel? The first thing I'd check is under the extractor star. A little bit of grit or unburned powder there can cause problems. On some revolvers, like the Ruger Security Six, the ejector rod can unscrew slightly and cause cylinder binding. I don't recall...

Looks like an 1849 Pocket Revolver, .31 caliber.

I'll see your .257 Roberts, and raise with a 6.5-.257 (AKA 6.5 Roberts). It was bascially a way to use then-common .257 Roberts cases in surplus 6.5X50 Arisakas. The cartridge is very similar to the 6.5X57 Mauser.

NOTE: I'm not weighing in on the "nanny" aspect or whether safety glasses should be required for all shooting situation (Yet), but hoping to provide some information on standards for safety glasses should you choose to wear them: The term "safety glasses" covers a wide range of eyewear. While...

I learned to field strip and reassemble the M14 as a freshman in high school. It's not that hard. The lugged versions are different, but are seldom field stripped anyway. Which model depends on what you intend to do with it. I would like mine to be legal for DCM and NRA service rifle...

I remember hearing the term "varmint rifle" being used for heavy barrel, small caliber centerfires when I started hunting in the late 60's / early 70's, and I'm sure it predates that by at least a couple of decades. Hardly a fad. Heavy barrels are stiff, and that can make a difference in...

Part of the beauty of aperture sights is that the size of the target black isn't as important as the overall sight picture. My own Swedish Mauser wasn't born a target rifle, but I used it as one for years in NRA Highpower Rifle. Wonderful rifle!

The Army Marksmanship Unit used Remington 760 pumps for some specialized matches. That tells me that they can be made to shoot fairly well. HERE'S info on an event in 1958.

Oddly enough, Oklahoma prohibits concealed carry of handguns larger than .45 caliber. "TITLE 21 § 1290.6 PROHIBITED AMMUNITION Any concealed or unconcealed handgun when carried in a manner authorized by the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act and when loaded with any ammunition which is...

Do you prefer stick shifts or automatic transmissions? There is something very satisfying about a well-executed bolt action rapid fire string, especially with a stripper clip reload, that the self-loaders can't provide. Of course, the semiautomatics do let one concentrate on sights and...

"The original AR is NOT the AR 15. The 6.5 Creedmoor runs great in it." FWIW, the original "AR" - the Armalite AR1 Parasniper - was a bolt action. That would be interesting in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Only 10 rounds? Pffft. How about 25?

There are a lot of sporterized surplus rifles on the market, often for bargain prices. Any of the WW1-WW2 rifle cartridges are fine for hunting up to deer, with appropriate distance limits. For example, a Type 38 Arisaka in 6.5X50. Or, how about the same one in 6.5-.257 Roberts? Quite a...

I used to use these many years ago - early 1980's?: "Taurus" "Alberts"

The CMP rules for AR15 Service Rifles just changed regarding sights, handguards, etc. NRA will likely follow suit. http://thecmp.org/2016-cmp-rulebooks-released/
