My various .223/5.56's (not just ARs) are zeroed for either 100 or 200, according to what I do with them. The couple that are zeroed at 200 are ARs and that's because I shoot the occasional CMP "Modern Military Rifle" match with them. The ones that are zeroed at 100 are "just because". :)

Because they want to. I buy both new and used. :)

I'm kind of stumped with all the folks who say "Why?" to the idea of a 7.62x39 bolt action rifle. Hell, why NOT? Probably *ALL* of us have rifles, shotguns, and handguns that aren't all that practical, but we love shooting them. What about the M-1 Carbine? People love owning and shooting...

My brief email to Cooper:

Thanks, y'all. It may turn out to be more trouble than it's worth, but I was just wondering if there were some possible avenues I was missing. Hey, that might be a way to go. It's an Oly barrel to start with. Thanks. :)

Yeah, I know I could just buy a new barrel and be done with it and have the spare laying around, but I just hate waste. I've been thinking about converting one of my ARs to either 6.5 Grendel or 6mm AR (not 6x45) and have a 1" bull barrel in 5.56 that I'd like to get rebored/re-rifled to .244...

I recently looked at a .30-'06 Tikka and thought it quite over-priced considering the number of manufacturing shortcuts, and - when I did a little internet looking - thought it was really insulting that they expect you to pay $50 for a low capacity 5 round PLASTIC mag. That REALLY slapped me in...

Yes, I know what CRF stands for, so go talk down to someone else. The point is, was the - according to some folks - over-large Mauser extractor designed by Mauser primarily for CRF or for more positive extraction? I contend that foremost on Mauser's mind was more positive extraction...

And why, pray tell, would it matter if your rifle could feed upside down or not? :rolleyes: In my estimation, the more classic Mauser-style extractor of the Ruger is more important for....... (drum roll please) EXTRACTION!!! :rolleyes:

According to this website: http://www.proofhouse.com that serial number is from 1911. Don't know how accurate the site is, but it's pretty handy. Has lots of serial numbers. Nice find. :) I think if I was your neighbor I'd have kept the rifles JUST to piss her off. :D

I've owned an M77MkII lefthanded in 7mm Rem. magnum for quite a few years now. It's plenty accurate with the right factory ammo and will shoot more accurately than any shooter I've ever seen is capable of with good handloads. Yeah, I've shot Savages that were slightly more accurate and...

A quarter of an inch? Are you serious? Good God man, the bolt has to have SOME forward travel before the round slips in under the extractor claw. Not even original Mausers have the claw over the rim of the round from all the way in their rearward position. It's physically impossible...

Yeah...... That's why the new Mini-14's come standard with two 20 round magazines. :rolleyes:

6.5 Grendel still spanks the 6.8's ass in performance, regardless of how much ammo the mall ninjas buy. :)

Well, I'm another fan of the Mini-14 who also owns AR-15s and an AR-180B. I owned the Mini first and since it's so much like my M-1 Garand, it'll always be a favorite. Yeah, ARs are more accurate on extended strings of rapid fire, but DAMN IT, the Mini just FEELS so much better when I put it...

Has anyone tried using Cerama-coat on a weapon for seaborne use? I've heard it's pretty tough stuff - can't scratch it, etc. Anyone? My suggestion: Maybe an old clunker M-1 Garand, refinished with Cerama-coat, loaded with AP-I rounds. :)

How about this: An M-1 Carbine chambered for the new round, .357 Maximum Rimless - or we could just call it the .357 Brutus for short. :D

I have an Entreprise Arms Stg-58 and have been well pleased with it. http://www.entreprise.com :)

No, no, no! It's not the mag springs OR the charging handle - it's the ejection port cover! For best accuracy one must have the special harmonically-balanced ejection port cover machined from a special aluminum-titanium-manganese-beryllium alloy. Also, the spring tension must be not less...

Yes, I was joking. :D
