    question on mags for Ruger Mini-14

    Don't forget, the insides/springs can and will rust too. I use factory and Masen, mine are all Black-T coated inside and out as well as the springs. Cost $10 each but may get a discount if you have several done. I send them mine disassembled, and sand blasted which gets me a much greater...

    Interesting NEF .45/70 single shot

    I'm really surprised that no one has complained about misfires, I have seen a few guys have this happen to them while shooting my Buffalo classic in 45/70.

    Remington 700
