No experience with the M1 in combat, but a good source for lessons from those who did, is the Garand Collector's Association (GCA) magazine. You have to join GCA to get it but it is a great read with lots of technical stuff but also articles from former M1 users, both combat vets and folks that...

....if you want to go old school and make an 06 a squirrel gun, just bark them with it! LOL For reference, old timers in the south used to use big bore muzzleloaders (.45 and up) for squirrel hunting (most folks only had 1 rifle in the house, so it was used for everything) by aiming at, and...

Ummm....not necessarily. When the Army or any service puts out an operators manual, it is based on a statement of work (SOW) developed by that service and sent out to the developers of the new equipment. With weapons, it will usually specify, or give ranges for, things like caliber, safeties...

The meaning of the 2A is perfectly clear, as are the meanings of the other amendments and remainder of our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, unless you are just trying to find ambiguity, HOWEVER you must also understand that our Declaration of Independence and Constitution must...

Knives, like wits, are never sharp enough......and husband's, like boyfriends, need a reminder from time to time that their is a vicious, mean, dangerous, old fart keeping an eye on Dad's Cinderella. :D And don't ever for one minute think the daughters don't eat that right up....:)

Manners, courtesy, and respect for my daughter are what I worry about with my teen daughters boyfriends. I make it very clear before any first date that I expect her date to respect her, treat like the princess she is (and always will be to me), and that he doesn't get second chances so...

Congratulations! For the last 5 years I have been on the prowl for a Swedish Mauser M38 in great shape and an Israeli Mauser in great shape. Found the Swede by word of mouth and bought it from a guy selling his Grandfather's gun collection (at least those he didn't want to keep). It was worth...

Beware the man with only one rifle...... +1 and amen!

As do many other designs. The M94 Winchester...any double or single-action revolver...exposed hammer shotguns and rifles. Yet people decocked those for years, and still do. Only when the cry went up... "Cocked and Locked is the only way a 1911 should be carried because that's the way JMB...

Just my .02..... "may issue" law = rule of man (potential for tyranny, anyone ever study the Jim Crow laws and blacks in the South not being allowed arms?) "shall issue" law = rule of law (OK, but can be overly proscriptive, like the Brady Bill was.) Vermont, Alaska law = U.S...

Eagles6: "The sidearm most often carried by professional hunting guides in Alaskan bear country is a .22 revolver. They shoot the nearest tourist in the knee then run like hell." :what: I don't care who ya are, now that's funny!!! :) Unless of course, you are the nearest tourist! :D

Guess it was hit and miss then. I bought my USPf .40 in 1994. Bought all my 15 magazines for it between 1994-1999. They are all plastic. Tight as a drum, and have never failed, despite heavy use. I used them in USPSA production for 3 years, dropping magazines and reloading thru the stages...

Infantry basic/AIT in '76, commissioned in '83, still serving in the Infantry. M16A2 in ODS had no problems whatsoever despite eating dust and dirt every day. M16A4 first tour in OIF and M4 second tour in OIF. No problems whatsoever other than some crappy mags, just had to find the good ones...

Check out the soon to be released HK MR762 if you want a sexy, evil, black rifle.......drool! It is the civilian version of the HK 417 and is supposed to be released end of this year, but you can bet it will set you back some serious green! :evil:

If private business owners want their private property rights respected (their ability under the law to not allow lawful concealed carry), while denying private citizens their second amendment rights (primarily in this case ccw for self-defense purposes), then they should incur an obligation (be...

Public place doesn't matter. The ultimate private property as interpreted by our founders is yourself as an individual and you as a citizen have the right to be secure in your person, even when in public or on public property, except as case law defines public figures, etc. Freedom of...

I carry one every day. Goes bang no matter what, scary accurate, what's not to like...:)

HK USPc V1 :)

Here is what I bought and it dissappears into a cargo pocket or back pocket. Wear your shirt untucked or tucked in, as long as your pocket is big enough it just looks like a wallet. I use it for my PPK BUG. :)...

The HK USP and USPc are fully proven, rock solid and have 9 variants so if you want DAO with a decocker instead of a safety you can have at it. HK even makes a match trigger for them or a LEM trigger if you want the DAO with decocker option. I love both my USP (bought in 94) and my latest...
