I recently got the TK11 and am quite impressed. I got the TK11 for the larger rechargeable batteries, but other than that, it's a dead ringer for the TK10. I like the simple 2-mode operation. The button feel is good and works well for the momentary function before clicking it on. The...

Got my Swick yesterday. It's a really nice piece of steel. The jimping on the thumb ramp is a nice touch. I'll probably be making some Kydex for it this weekend. I just need to decide where to carry the thing. The Mules are also really nice general use fixed blades. They've almost made...

The 940's are nice. I picked mine up a few years ago (used) for $380 shipped and transferred. I'd pay that again assuming I could find another for the price. The moon clips aren't much of an issue. They're fairly cheap and I haven't had any problems with them bending, but I don't carry a...

I have a pre-Accutrigger that has the 3/8" dovetails. They're out there. My newer FVT model was drilled and tapped. I added bases and use Warne QD rings for the few times I mount up a scope on it.

The Hornet is a great "walking" varmint round. By that I mean that you're walking around with a rifle, no bipod, just a sling. It'll easily take a ground squirrel or P-dog to the ranges that you're likely to hit it offhand or kneeling-sling supported. For me, that's about 150 yds for the...

I think that 2500+ meter sniping is best left to artillery or air-to-ground weapons.

Farmer, check out the list of reputable dealers here, but my personal favorite is NewGraham. Daily is a Spyderco Military and a Spyderco Cricket in the pocket. When the Military gets too dull for me (still pretty sharp), it gets swapped to a Spyderco Lil' Temperance for a few days until it...

I believe it was 18" for rifles in the beginning of all this. It was changed sometime in the 1950's to allow the sale of surplus M1 Carbines.

I want to thank JShirley for posting this. I missed out on the last ones, so I made sure I got one this time. It's a very nicely proportioned knife, at least to me. I'm planning on some 1/8" scales and an IWB Kydex sheath. This would make a great daily carry blade. I'm just trying to...

I have both a 10/22 and a 597. I both are stock with exception of the triggers. I find the 597 to be far more accurate with run of the mill ammo and I haven't had any feeding issues past the first 500 rounds. If I didn't already have the mags for the 10/22, I'd probably drop it and just be...

I need to chime in here as well. I know people that work at many of the shops around here, but I generally recommend FBMG as being worth the drive. They are courteous and have been willing to listen to and in a few rare cases learn something from their customers. I have a pet peeve when...

Dragonfly, not Spyderfly. Many knives in their line switched over about 1999 or 2000 if I remember right. I think the Dragonfly might have been a bit later, but I'd have to dig out some old catalogs to make sure. The current blade steel is listed as VG-10, but I wouldn't worry about the...

IF (and that is a big if) you already have ammo on strippers, I do have to say that I still like strippers and the charger guides better. IF NOT, the LULA is just about the neatest thing possible. I've also used the AK versions and UZI versions and they work equally as well as the AR version.

I really had to look for my 940. I originally wanted an SP101, but couldn't find one. I'd really like to get a 3" 940 or SP101 in the future. The S&W 547's are also very tempting, but they command prices that I'm not willing to pay. I really think I might pick up a 4" adj. sight .357...

Arch, The main advantage for me is ammo commonality. I don't have anything in .38/.357, but do have other 9mm. I didn't want the extra round, reloading dies, brass and components. On top of that I do like the moonclip reloading, the shorter length and the performance without the extra flash...

I have a 940 that I love, though I do wish it were a bit lighter. I'm really considering getting a lightweight .357 and having them do it. The .38 frame can most likely take it for quite a while, but I would have zero doubt in the .357 frame regarding durability.

I don't want to discourage you on this project, but Jim Watson is right on the money. Changing bullet diameter by .008" to get to .236" is going to be a real tough road. We already have pretty small gaps in established bullet diameters and there is little to be gained by splitting the...

I try. That was one of those "gee-whiz" kind of tests that I did because I could. 10 shots isn't great for a test like this, but it confirmed what others have said with real data. When I got my chronograph about 3 years ago, I created a spreadsheet that does all the calculations for me to...

I did what Navy Guns suggested a few years ago. It was only 10 rounds of each, which isn't a huge sample, but here are the numbers anyway. Yugo SKS Wolf 122 HP, green laquer Distance - 10 ft ProChrono Digital Port Open Port Closed Avg. 2422.2...

I have one and love it. It does not come with mounts, but is drilled and tapped for them. I will eventually get mounts as I'd like to see what it can do and I'll probably use it as an ammo testbed in the future. The entire rear sight is removable from the base on the action, so mounting a...
