    M16/M4 Holding Up in the Desert?

    You got me. I hadn't thought about the first post. Trick question. :D So would I. It's a necessary part of the job and anyone that can't grasp that shouldn't be a soldier. But that's not the point. I could keep trying to emphasize the point that not everyone that had problems was just too...

    M16/M4 Holding Up in the Desert?

    I said several different "issued weapons", meaning several different M16's over the years. In other words, my opinion is based on several different specimens, not just one. So it's not just a case of getting a 'lemon'. And I wasn't the only one with these experiences. Locations would be...

    M16/M4 Holding Up in the Desert?

    First, I'm not a kid. And second, you sound like you know this from experience, yes? Just wondering how you came to this conclusion.

    M16/M4 Holding Up in the Desert?

    I know the AR has a huge fan club in the civilian world, but... If I had to go to the middle east again, but with a rifle of my choice this time, the M16 would be at the bottom of my list. Which is also why I have no interest in spending my hard-earned money on one now. I also get a...

    KA713 Tower Pistol

    Oops. Sorry, Duncan, I didn't notice your post earlier... A sense of humor is part of the necessary equipment.

    KA713 Tower Pistol

    mothernatureson's numbers sound about right. I'd experiment with charges between 20-40 grains 3f and use the load that gives the best accuracy. Let us know how it shoots.

    KA713 Tower Pistol

    The only information I can find on it is that it's a .45 (.451 bore) with an 8 1/4" barrel, and it was available flint or percussion, and rifled or smoothbore. Which is yours? This info will be enough to start working up a load.

    Your most embarrassing moment at the range?

    Several years ago I was shooting my flintlock rifle at the range, standing and shooting off-hand at 100 yards, doing okay but not as good as usual. I was the only one there with a muzzleloader that day, everyone else was shooting centerfires and rimfires. At one point, I got powder and ball...

    Flintlock Ignition

    Last time I called Chambers to inquire about their touch hole liners, they told me they don't sell them separately, only as part of their kits (although this was over a year ago). Has that changed? I'd like to find a replacement for my Pedersoli. I never heard about these tests. Can you post...

    What is the fuss with the Ruger 10/22

    LOL!! :D {Cleaning Coke off my monitor...} That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. You sound like you know of what you speak. :D I like your name for them, too.

    They make a mighty fine toaster, too. :D

    What was your first gun?

    A flintlock. I learnt the old way, with no one but myself and some books as my teachers.

    Milsurp scopes?

    The ezboard network appears to have made some changes, you now have to register just to see the forum. Doesn't make much sense, new people will never find it if they can't even see it. Unless I'm just missing something...:confused: Anyway, I have one of Darrell's mounts for my K31...

    Gun phrases.

    "He's just a flash in the pan." Said of someone who's all talk and no action, refers to a flintlock that misfires.

    Why You Camp/Hike with Enough Gun

    I saw the video of that story this morning. In that report, they said one of the rangers (or wardens, or whoever responded) shot at the bear and actually hit it and it escaped wounded, and then they started hunting it. I don't know which version is correct, wounded or not, or if they've caught...

    Have you ever had a dream in which you can't shoot?

    Wow, I thought I was the only one that had scary dreams. I have a recurring nightmare in which every time I open my mouth, out comes a song by the Dixie Chicks! :eek: :D

    Should I switch to.........

    This is an often debated issue over at GlockTalk. I think it boils down to using excessively hot ammo. Stick to factory loads if it worries you. Here's a very long thread with a million and one opinions on the subject: http://glocktalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=283479
