Back in the early 70's I was issued a Winchester built M14, wood stock and all of the standard amenities. I was able to score Expert with this weapon and had zero malfunctions (except for a dented magazine - not the rifles fault). Every rifle now seems to be purpose built to some extent and...

"Wimmen'; ya can't live with em, an ya can't shoot em..." :scrutiny: Said by a guy I used to work for a few years back. MG

All rifles should be fed a "High Fiber Diet" on a regular basis, keeps 'em regular ya know! :scrutiny: MG

I have always felt that a well trained / practiced shooter with a well maintained SKS is far more dangerous to his targets than some plinker outfitted with the best Uber M1A or any rifle for that matter. Get what your budget will allow, make sure you keep it well maintained, and practice...

I bought a GP WASR 10/63 from Dunhams in April on sale for $235 OTD. It had a single stack 10rd mag which I converted to a doublestack with a dremel and a couple of cut-off wheels and a minor assortment of small grinding attachments (took all of 45 min.). Unfortunatly it has the dreaded...

I have a WASR 10/63 single stack that I converted myself to a double, the Drag-style stock isn't too great and the laminated handguards looked like **** so I shot them with Duplicolor truck bed liner and what a difference it makes in the looks! Much better! Thoroughly dissasembled and cleaned...

Speaking of conversions to a different cal but in an enfield #1 MkIII type rifle; I've thought about a .243 Win conversion for the Ishy 2A1 (7.62 NATO). All it would take is a new barrel. The .243 and .308 Win use an almost identical case except for neck/bullet diameter; the .243 will feed...

Hi all... I used to ride a 1976 Suzuki Enduro 400 back and forth to work, (single cylinder 2 stroke, idled like a barrel full of rocks) but the gas mileage was great. I pulled up at a stop light next to a Honda 750 paying no mind cause I was heading for the shop. When the light turned I...

A friend of mine once referred to the '06 as "7.62 magnum". The '06 is a great cartridge, and at long ranges. The US Marines at Bellau Wood were taking out German troops at 500 to 800 yards with 1903 Springfield rifles with iron sights! (Totaly baffled the Germans by the way. :scrutiny: )...

I wonder if you can get a potpourri in Hoppe's #9 with just a hint of burnt Winchester 760? :rolleyes: MG

Well at least it is changing, the current Attorneys General has made it legal to own Class III as long as you have it legally by NFA rules. But as we (Michiganders) all know... " if you don't like the weather wait five minutes, it'l change." ...same for the political climate too. :cool...

As the old saying goes; It ain't the weapon, it's the person it's attached to... The rifle pictured at the beginning of the thread is a nice rifle, I'd be glad to own it! It doesn't matter how much you spend or don't spend if you can't shoot it well. Get out and practice every chance you...

Many years ago... during the days of the original Mayor Daly I saw a sign alongside the Dan Ryan Expressway, it said: "Some cities hate their mayor nightly; but we hate our Mayor Daly" Seems things never change do they? (I gotta becareful, I dating my self here... :rolleyes: ) When...

"BADGES! We doan gots to show you NO stinkin' BADGES!" :scrutiny:

I have a Taurus Model 82 that I stuck in a drawer for several years before I got it back out to shoot. It acted much the same way as your Charter. I pulled the side plate and found the inner works well gunked up by a combination of old congealed oil and dust, etc. Even though I thought I had...

I had a Colt Combat Commander, Satin Nickle finish with a set of standard Pachmayer grip panels. Best hand gun I ever had (didn't realize it untill I sold it due to "Revolver-itis" :mad: ). Shot very nicely and was totaly controllable with 158Gr hollowpoints at 25 yards. Looked impressive...

The .45ACP is only for pistols "chambered" for it, and yes, you can find revolvers chambered for .45ACP. But generaly this cartridge was designed for the "automatic" (semi-auto) pistols such as the 1911 Govt' model, etc. If you look at the older .45 long colt ammo next to the .45ACP you will...
