Excellent ! Thanks for the advice ! I live the rifle's balance and looks, but I was really concerned about the future availability of quality ammo and magazines. No big loss on not being allowed in the indoor range, as it is only a 25 yd. deal. I feel almost like a sinner when I shoot my...

Dang ! So, should I maybe NOT fire the rifle at all and return it to trade for a 7.62, or is there plenty of the normal stuff around ?

Both ! Sir, I've had a Kimber CDP 2 for over a year now, and I love it to death. I paid over $900 for it brand new ! Three weeks ago I bought a Hi-Power ( not a Browning, but an Argentinian clone, the FM m-95 Classic, for $300 ) It shoots dead-on at 15 yds., and has gone trough more than 5oo...

Limb Saver ! It's a slip-on ( size small ), and cost me less than $20 at Walmart. It makes that $90 M-38 feel like my M1A. Makes the gun look ugly. I was fortunate enough to get one with nice wood, and I'm thinking of adding a more conventional pad. It gives you over an inch of shock-absorbing...

Hard to find . . . I did a little bit of research on the web on the AK-74 and the three or four places that I read all mention the design of the 5.45 x 39 mm round incorporates the mild-steel core to enhance the tumbling effect of the projectile when contacting soft targets ( like human tissue...

Hi. Does anybody know a source of this ammo that does not use a mild steel ( or any steel ) in the bullet's core ? The indoor range closest to my house prohibits the use of steel-core bullets for rifles. Thanks.

AO M1 Carbine Well, thanks. Looks like I might've got handed the unusual " Lemon ". Once I get it back I'll share the results here. I'm expecting that it'll work FUBAR-free for at least 10,000 rds.

M1 carbine breakage After 300 rds. of FMJ I started running soft points to verify that they would work reliably. After 10 rounds on the first SP mag, I had a failure to feed. Removed mag., tapped mag against my hand to seat the rounds properly, reinserted, pulled the charging handle and...

Anybody has any first-hand experience the Auto Ordnance (now Khar) M1 carabine ? Mine had to go back to the factory after only a few hundred rounds. It'll be at least two more weeks before I get it back. Should I just tell them to keep it and refund my money ?

I am seriously considering porting my 2.24 SP-101. I feel the need to be able to use full power .357 loads. I am practicing twice a week, and still no 1.1 sec. double taps right smack in the A- Zone at seven yards. I'm figuring that I'm just too old for that nonsense, and I need help in handling...

Thanks ! I will try the CLP, and get rid of the evil lead Magtech ( I still have about 150 rds. !) Maybe I need a .38 special snubby to dispose of them, eh !

Hello. I just got a model 38, I think, ( shorty, no bayonet ) Has anyone found better replacement sights ? I'd like to find some inexpensive ( I paid $90 for it ) rear, adjustable sights. Something like a peep sight, heck, maybe even a tangent sight would be fun. I would even break the bank and...

Hello. I've been shooting a 2" in .357. Because I carry it CCW sometimes I practice with some ( About 30-50 per session. They hurt ! ) 158 gr. FMJ .357 Magtech Shootin Pack. and lots of 158 gr. Magtech Shooting Pack lead nosed .38 Special ( maybe 100-150 per session. Those are fun ! ). Problem...

Hey ! Three weeks ago I took home a spanking brand new M1 carabine. It digested over 250 FMJ 110 grainers without a single hiccup. Accuracy was outstanding. Because I want it to take over as a primary anti-goblin house gun I started to feed it soft nose bullets to see if it would like them. I...

SOCOM Hi. I've owned one for eight months now, and had zero problems with it. It's very handy size, excellent sights, and negligible recoil have made it a joy to use. I'm practicing very often with it so that I can use it in three-gun matches. I have an EOTech sight on it, and it serves me OK...

Can someone please suggest a good use for a 20" side-by-side, double trigger 20 ga. ? My wife promised to divorce me if I bought home another " house gun ", and I really, really like this little shotgun. Help ?

Maybe the 9 mm, eh ? You make a very good point. The nines are ( I think ) the cheapest "serious" defense rounds to shoot lots of in a reliable, accurate, and concealment-friendly platform. A used Glock wil probably cost less than a brand new, high quality .22, and if you have to, you can...

House Gun ! With a black syntetic stock, rail with a red-dot gizmo, and maybe a cheap laser ( just to persuade goblins to cease and desist, not so much as an aiming aid ), an inexpensive light and a 20 roung mag chock-full with soft nosed pills, the sweet little gun seems the right cure for...

Ever invited her to the range ? Take a Gamo in .177, and if she likes it move to the .22 LR. What's the harm in shooting a "BB Gun", eh ?

Same CCW All The Time I love my full size Kimber 1911 CDP, but I always carry either a Glock 22 or the 23, depending on what I have to wear, and a Ruger 2" SP-101 in a belly band and two Bianchi Speed Strips, for BUG purposes. They are all "point and shoot" hardware, and the KISS principle...
