    Kel-Tec SU16-C fun today

    Thanks for the photo and post. Is that a home made brass catcher, or is it part of the range bench? I have a Caldwell brass catcher, but the brass gets so hot it sticks to the mesh.

    What is you favorite Brand name round in these cals?

    I don't shoot 380, but I do shoot 38 special. Speer Gold Dot standard pressure is my favorite 124g in 9mm and 185g in .45. The Hornady Critical Duty is intriguing, but it shoots low in my 9mm and I have not decided if I'll ever carry my .45. I shoot it well, but I just don't like it much...

    what harris bipod?

    I really like Harris Bipods. The one thing they re really useful for is hunting in the snow. Whenever you need to set your rifle down you can pull down the bipod legs and have the rifle nearby but out of the snow. They are heavy, so I don't use them all the time. I've never actually...

    Will Ruger American Barrel work on a M77 mark II?

    I see that the barrel threads for the Ruger American are the same as the M77 (1" x 16TPI). I was wondering if you could put an American barrel with nut on an M77. I'm asking because sometimes the thread geometry is different even with the same pitch. I'm hoping Ruger didn't do this. I have a...

    Winchester vs Rossi.. Help me choose

    I bought a Rossi Trifecta with a .243 barrel. I tried to find the lands with a Speer 105 Hot Cor. The bullet was not in the case when it touched the lands. The .22 barrel shot fine as did the 20 gauge. I'd go for the Winchester.

    30-06 or 300 WM? Let's hear it...

    Most folks I know hunt elk with 30-06 or 270. I know a few folks who use 7mm Mag and two who use 300 mags of some sort. The folks who shoot the 300 magnums either have a brake or hate to shoot it. Elk seldom hang out near the road. Most of the time I've seen elk it's been way back off of...

    How Often Are Handguns Used In Warfare?

    I was in the Army Reserve for 12 years. I drove an M-60 tank, fired an M-60 machine gun, and a 105mm. I qualified Sharpshooter with M-16 and Expert with hand grenades. I never shot a pistol for Uncle Sam.

    Recommend me a 30-06 hunting rifle?

    I love 30-06, but for me it's a 300-350 yard hunting rifle. I do shoot steel plates up to 450 yards several times per year, so I know for a fact that I'm not ready for these distances yet. I'd second the Savage advice. My savage in .243 is an easy 0.75" rifle with almost every bullet I've...

    Ruger American pistol!?

    I want a 4" barrel compact grip SR like Springfield makes of the XD. Also the LCR 3" needs to come in 22 and 357.

    Stock/Tube kit recommendations plz...

    I have a mil spec tube and a Mag Pul adjustable stock. I can't remember the model, but it has an extra clamp that takes the wobble out of the stock. Cheek weld with a scope is marginal, it would need some extra material.

    Mini-14 or AR-15

    I'd vote Mini (with your money). I bought an AR. I bought it in pieces as money became available. I can mod it as money becomes available. If I had the $$ I'd buy a mini - 14 and a mini 6.8 and a Mini 30. I like the looks and feel of the mini better. I was in the Army and refused to...

    Have you ever had a Squib?

    Blackhorn 209 powder and standard primers in Knight muzzle loader Some 12 guage buckshot reloads using really old Remington primers stored in a humid NC basement. You could actually see the shot loafing through the air. I've never had a squib lodged in a barrel. Even the muzzleloader sent...

    if M-16's were legal again...

    That's pretty much my take on it, except I only got to drive an M-60 and I never shot a 155mm or 8" gun. Small arms are, well, small. Fullly auto changes very little of that. Bingo. Full auto without belt feed is only seconds away from "out of ammo".

    Yeah Yeah most won't like it.. Wood on AR

    How tight is the telescoping stock fit?

    Any reason not to shoot the .257 Roberts +p stuff out of a Remington 760?

    I would do it. The 760 can handle 30 06.

    New rifle 30-06 misfires and shoulders blown forward - a lot!

    The A I chambers are designed to properly head space factory ammo. This gun has obvious head space problems at the very least. I would not keep this one unless I planned to remove the barrel. It would be interesting to know what happened. I bought a "new" Winchester stainless built in the FN...

    help with choice of 4-12x scopes

    Did you try adjusting the ocular focus on your Sightron? I was having trouble with my 2-7x Leupold and realized that I had set it for my new Rx glasses, but I was wearing older ones. Other times I skip glasses (hunting) and have to refocus my scopes.

    300 blackout

    It's like a 30 Carbine Improved. I'd say the #1 benefit is lower muzzle blast than 5.56. But it really is almost everything good about the M1 carbine, but put in an AR platform. If I'm ever relegated to shooting only indoors I'll get one, but I like the 5.56 better for outdoor steel...

    Why did NATO choose to adopt the 9mm?

    I was in the Army, even though the 9mm was adopted before I got in, reserve units still had 45s. I'd take an M9 over a 1911, though I'm just as happy without either. I'd rather have a few extra grenades. Before I was commissioned I was a private/SPC-4 in a medical unit. Enlisted didn't...

    Who shoots M855? and Why?

    I don't have any use for it. I primarily shoot steel targets. I'm waiting for the MK262 ammo to get cheap(er) (wish).
