    M1A Loaded followed me home yesterday…

    One thing and M1A does better than anything else; it doesn’t have a split receiver like an AR-10 or an AR-15. I own both of those other types, by the way. An AK 47 has the receiver as one piece. I Galil rifle has the receivers in one piece. I would love the M-16A1 f the receiver was just not...

    Do you carry a gun because you are afraid?

    No, the equivalent is “Do I keep a fire extinguisher at the ready in every room in my home?”…

    Anyone else hate reloading?

    I <removed> hate it. That being said, I am very good at it. I trim every case, deburr inside and out, etc. I weigh every single charge. But, I hate it; the worst goddamned thing is lubing and then after resizing de/lubing the cases. I load only for my 1944 M1 Garand. Why no one has come up with...

    Gun store craziness.

    OK, so as far as LGS gun store craziness, dig this… 1) So, just before Hillary Clinton was supposed to be elected in 2016, I started buying AR-15‘s and matched upper and lower receiver sets, for “putaways”, anticipating they would be banned for new civilian sale within the next 3 to 6 years...

    Opinions on shooting gloves

    Golf gloves. Every time...they fit skin-tight and are thin enough to get good feel on the piece. I bought a pair years ago and never looked back. (There was a time when racquetball gloves were The Thing, and they are great, too.) That being said, they will not last forever, although mine are...

    Mobil 1 for oiling guns?

    Funny, I just saw this post, and had asked a question about Lubriplate 105! I have used it on sliding/bearing parts on pistols for about 15 years...and asked what other folks used. I use the 105 on mt M1 Garand and my M1A, my Beretta 92FS and my SA "Mil-Spec" .45... The AR-15 doesn't get it and...

    Gun lube packaging...

    Now, I just love me some CLP, but I have one minor complaint, although it's not about the compound itself... The packaging sucks, universally, as far as I've seen; if it's in an aerosol, the spray arrangement never allows anything less than a torrent with even the slightest displacement of the...

    Why are .22 LR cartridges so shoddy?

    Jeb Stuart, pretty dang clever... I'm with the OP on this, although I've found (noticed) only a very few loose rounds on 22LR cartridges over the decades. They should never have left the factory. The ones I've seen were not in loose bulk packs, but in the trays. It's just crappy QC. I'm sure...

    My bad (!) on M1A Synthetic Stock

    It wasn’t a project; I’ve had the rifle since 2004. For some reason, the other night, I just happened to be thinking about it. And do you know where that leads…

    My bad (!) on M1A Synthetic Stock

    Well, on July 16, 2012, I posted in a Rifle Country thread that my M1A Standard, with synthetic stock, had no front ferrule. The thread had to do with another gent not seeing one on his syth stock and wondering if it was incorrectly assembled. Didn't see one on mine, looked at the SA website...

    What happened to hunting rifle stocks?

    Snyper is right on the nuts about that, for sure. And I have no problem with buying for those advantages, as of course each to his own, with his own bucks to spend. What is dismaying is that so many, it appears, don't even care if they get even a checkered stock. (And yes, you can get a...

    What happened to hunting rifle stocks?

    When I was a kid, bolt action hunting rifles were essentially all stocked with hardwood, checkered (cut or pressed, but checkered either way), and had a nice finish applied. These days, looking at the guns on the racks around here, it seems that polymer and fiberglass have taken over! From...

    ever wore out any spring in a gun?

    No. And I've never had a part break, either. That said, the most rounds I've ever put through one gun (so far in my life) is just over 4,000. Now, someone once GAVE me a gun with a broken recoil spring seat. It was some kind of Colt 22 rifle, where the seat was a cast pocket in the...

    NY Times Op-Ed: "Get out of gun control, Apple"

    It's not a First Amendment issue, really, since it's not the government removing/changing the emojicon or emoticon. Apple is a corporation and we don't have to buy or keep their products. Just sayin'...
