I salute all Cold War Veterans. Sure we did not suffer the body counts of others. But the mission was no small matter. Just largely invisible. Thanks for your contribution. GT 1st Bn, 41st FA, 56th Arty Brigade. Nuklear (1971-1974) Pershing, Sir. We gave peace a chance. Mission...

OK, we will make this thread about guns. Here is a pic of my great uncle Albert. He is a WWI veteran. And that is the root of Veterans Day. November 11 of each year commemorating the cessation of hostilities in WWI on November 11, 1918. This pic is from the 1980's. It was a family...

I have been lightly cleaning the Ruger 10/22 for the last year. Just the barrel bore and wiping out the accessible part of the action without dis-assy. Seems to just keep shooting fine. I avoid the cheapest ammo on account of carbon build up. But no jamming after hundreds of rounds and still...

Thanks for all the comments, folks. I just bought one recently, but being behind enemy lines, I can't get it out of jail for a couple more days. I have shot other pistols, from Buck Marks to 1911's, to Sig P320's. Wanted something in this price range. But at $400 it seems high. However...

For young and old. Just too important to be left unsaid. From AARP Magazine info written up in AccurateShooter.com April 19, 2017 (My apologies for cross forum referencing) ============================================== Living a Life with More Good Times, and Fewer Regrets Recently, a group...

I spoke with an eye specialist about this. The aperture functions somewhat like a corrective lens, the smaller the better (to a point). Your brain works with the "ghost ring" created by the aperture and self centers the target and post. And remember, the important focus is the font sight. I...

I hear you, brother! Not to dis anyone's shooting ambitions (I have many different rifles from mil surp bolts to modern Stoner gas guns and enjoy shooting them all), but IMHO the M14/M1A platform is still the "rifleman's rifle", especially in it's proper military aperture sights. I think it...

Love those 10's!

First of all, I love my M1A. Pricey? Yes. But I wanted a battle rifle and was willing to pay to play. I enjoy shooting with the military aperture sights, especially shooting off hand standing. The heft, the balance, the feel, the power of the 7.62 NATO, the natural point of aim behind the...

' Hah! It's not a field gun. Just something old and fun to shoot at the range. We are exploring just how much we can get out of a hundred year old firearm. For hunting we have appropriate firearms for that purpose.

Wow! We are learning a lot from these comments! Thanks for all the technical input and encouragement. Perhaps not a lot can be done to this old brute of a rifle that is worth the money and effort, but it has been a good learning experience.

Thanks for the input. We tried all different bag/rest set ups. And the gel sock fools you into firing too fast. There is very little felt recoil with it, so it is easy to rush the groups!

Hmmm. The PPU we are using is just the just the light 150 grain bullet. Better ammo might be worth a try. I will dig around. I think we have some. And regarding flinching, I guess I will need to shoot more and work this out. Awe shucks. More range time.:)

Dang, Operator Malfunction. Seems every rifle I ever put my hands on has that flaw! :thumbup:

That was our thought too. Thanks for the feedback.

When I built mine I took note of which lower parts kit brand was recommended by the mfgr of the lower receiver and stuck with that. No problems occurred. Go back and look at their info or contact them. I built a James Madison lower and installed a DPMS lower parts kit for the 308. The upper...

Seems after about 15 rounds the POI at 200 yds is in the dirt in front of the paper splattering it with debris. First 15 rounds not bad. Get most on the aiming black. Or does this mean the barrel just "dun got wore out:" over the hundred years of life?
