Beware Touching The Trouser Snake I think you are 100% correct in that you don't want it known that you are carrying. I have friends in LE who know I carry and critique my concealment effort every time they see me. I've tried about everything reasonable to conceal what I consider a reasonably...

Well, sir, I can hardly be considered "recent", but I gotta tell you that we let all of the other branches call them "fatigues". Marines call them Utilities. I enlisted in April 1968. We fired the M14 in Boot Camp and were issued M16s before getting to Viet Nam. Naaaaaaaaaa, we didn't have...

Psy 101 on reinforcements and punishment Reinforcements= something pleasurable to the person given to maintain or increase a target behavior (a reward). Types= positive... (candy, $, or whatever the subject likes)... negative reinforcement...taking something adversive away(which results in...

Well Dean, sir, I do thank you for your advice, but I don't reckon I'll rat out the guy about his dogs, to the law. We're in NC, not NYC, and most dogs just run loose out here anyway. We take care of any anti-social dogs ourselves and don't need the assistance of the law. Had I shoot those...

Two rushed me a couple of weeks ago I had an incident with two large dogs (OK, I'm sorry for not being K9 PC, but they sure looked like Pit Bulls to me) 2 weeks ago. I had taken my car for new tires to a shop about a mile from my house and decided to walk home to wait for them to do the job...

It's Clear To Me... Hummmm, seems simple to me... Lose the lib chick. If you feel like you've just gotta reproduce then find someone like Ann Coulter or Pax.

Well, I reckon all you western folks lost out, because Big 5 sold their whole inventory of those M1s to the Dollar General store chain. Yeaaaaah, I checked 'em out and yeaaaaaah, $89.99 on sale...but I think they're bogus because they are labeled as M1-D and M1-C and have been Bubbaed up to fit...

Thanks for the info/links, Jim. One of the followers looks like the way I'll go...probably that yellow one from Sinclair.

...for slow fire in high power matches... I usually shoot either a M1A or Garand (with a single loading device), but shot an AR this weekend. What's the "best" way to single load those little rounds into the equally small loading port? It just doesn't seem right to throw a round on top of the...

Well, sholuld I unfortunately be forced to engage in such serious social interaction I would then make sure my Neanderthal blaster goes back concealed and await said cops with both hands open and in plain sight...and make sure to address said arriving cops as "officer" and "sir", a lot. I'm...

eclancy. I just read most of the files on your outstanding web site. Thank you for all of the cool information about the Garand. I got the feeling that at least one of the previous posters was thinking that the "old" Garand just wasn't up to the pressures of modern .30-06 ammunition. That's...

Well, I reckon it's been said before...but... ""Badges? We don't need no stinking badges". In NC (at least in my County) we get a little photo ID card to show a cop if ummmmmmm detained or something. I've been ummmmmm detained a few times (speeding, roadside checks, that kinda stuff) over...

Handloading is just a good deal, overall, ...but especially so for the Garand. My H&R really likes the Sierra 168 grain Matchling bullet and 47 grains of IMR 4895. In fact, out of the 10 or so Garands I've loaded for they all shot that load better than any other I tried. With M2 ball starting...

Big Lary, Yes, the M-1 Garand is .30-06 (well some are 7.62 Nato). The thing is that the port pressure to function the Garand properly must be within a limited range. Most commercial loads for the 30-06 are not at all within this pressure range. Many people have bent their operating rods by...

Good info and pics, hillbilly. I've got the same situation with my present FAL (IMBEL receiver and G-1 parts kit). It's reliable and I like the looks and feel of it,...but groups just like ithose illustrated in your pics for your FAL. My plan was to get a good FAL and shoot it against the ARs...

Even right after crushing my thumb I never had any thought of selling that Garand. My squashed thumb was too sore to load the Garand in the proper way for weeks, yet I still shot matches with it. I shot one just days after my "M-1 thumb". I had to hold the op rod back with my cupped right...

I'd had a few minor "M-1 thumbs" before where the bolt skinned me a tad, but about a year ago my thumb took a direct hit that took several months to heal. I was shooting high power matches and wanted my brass to last longer than if I full lengrh resized it. My plan was to partially resize the...
