    Norinco M305 (M14)

    I checked them out from your link & (thank you for posting it) and it says the cyclic rate is 700-750 rounds. Sounds like more of an M14 Battle Rifle than the distinctly different Semi-Auto M1A. The M1A seems to be more of an Urban Assult Team Rifle. It has a nice compomise of MOA accuracy up...

    IVI 7.62mm Brass Question

    I have a quantity of ex Canadian Military brass which is made by the national supplier SNC Lavalon, which I suppose would be the US equivilent of Lake City. The question I have is; There is a little crosshair stamped on the rim case. Why?

    Norinco M305 (M14)

    I just popped over to Canadian Gun Nutz, which is sort of the CDN equivilent to The High Road. There are a TON of posts on the Norinco M14 rifles there. THere have been an absolute (and literal) boatload of these rifles imported here and they seem to have really been received well. Please feel...

    Lead going crazy!

    On a side note. I have several hundred pounds of pure lead that came from an exray room that was remodeled. I was wonder if anyone uses pure lead for .45 ACP bullet casting? Souns pretty cool! Maybe there is even a Tactical application for X-Ray room lead bullets. Think about it... If they...

    Norinco M305 (M14)

    brentn: As you may be able to tell by the very low serial number, I got mine from Milarm in Edmonton a few years before Marstar started importing them. I paid about 550 bucks for it at the time (when the Cdn dollar was worth about 65 cents US)... I was on the list for 2 more from Marstar...

    Worst Weapon?

    Although not exactly a U.S. device, our boys in the Canadian Expeditionary Force that went to France in 1914 to fight the Kaisers' Army used the MacAdam shield Shovel for a very short time in the trenches of France. These were the days when there was little or no practical testing of the...

    Norinco M305 (M14)

    What is the general concensus on these rifles? Comments please... I know that the old Polytechnic models left somethng to be desired, but here in Canada, there have been a huge number of them imported and sold for $399.00 Cdn. or about $325.00US (at the time). Here are the specs. on mine...

    Streamlight/surefire and others. Im blind!

    I just bought a 9v UltraFire flashlight that has a Zenon bulb and I use it for doing QC inspections on aircraft and it is bright enough that I noticed that when I held it up to my fingers, so it was shining on the backside, I could see the arteries in them.:what: Talk about x-Ray vision! And...

    Powder for .223 (55 Grain) Load

    I have loaded all the popular powders in .223 Remington and I gotta admit that H4198 had the tightest group out of my Ruger KM77VT Mk II with a grouping of just over 9/16ths at 200 yds. Wow! Was I ever pumped after that. Kept the target just for grins. For semi-auto, 335 is great and hard to...

    Best under $3000 SxS

    I managed to luck in to a Sabatti SxS that was at a shop as part of an estate sale. They wanted $375 for it and I offered $325. We settled on $350... Found out about the gun after a long search thru the many companies in the Gardone Valley in Italy (by way of a wonderful Breda records person...

    Maybe it has trauma plates around the primer pockets to allow the 30 % overpressure loads...:rolleyes:

    Mythbusters - 29 November - Guns

    [HTML]I heard Carlos said that was an accident and he didn't intend to do that, now that several movies have done similar shots (Saving Private Ryan and Sniper come to mind). One thing I don't like about that show is they act as if they can't recreate it, it can't be done. I still enjoy the show...
