    A question to all New York residents

    taking guns away from free people is only a symptom of a larger problem; taking guns away from free people is the hardest thing for ANY guberment to do; after that, everything else is cake.

    pro mag, ramline or any other after mkt mfg. make these that are worth a darn? anyone ever cut down a 22" bbl to 18 or 20"? I know about the velocity loss, but how much would the accurcy suffer? (any worse than my spellin) it's a hunting gun, so 3-4" at 100-200 yards is acceptable...

    How do I build a backyard range?

    I had a link at one time; seems like Univ. of Michigan had online plans. I was going to try it with PVC pipe with carpet inside. Maybe someday when I get a real backstop HSO's second link shows shooting thru 5' diameter concrete pipes; the ones I've seen used in switzerland were more like I...

    How do I build a backyard range?

    if you hunt around, there plans online to create "shooting tubes", something like shooting thru 10' long x 12-18" pvc or other pipes (not sure of the exact length) These "attenuate" the sound and have the added advantage of having zero horizion (not being able to shoot outside the area of yer...

    Load data for Missou bullet 9mm 125gr SWC

    thanks for the imput; I don't load alot of lead boolits, much less pistola rounds. MBC 9's are for training. I'll buy some good jacketed defensive rounds for later stockpiles. Most of my reloading is rifle training and hunting rounds.

    Mavrick O/U HD gun

    Mavrick O/U HD gun

    saw one the other day, but haven't found any online; shop had it for $500; didn't seem worth it; an O/U w/18" bbls & a top mounted rail all painted black seems overpriced for what you get. the only thing that would make it even close to worth it is it had screw in chokes. anyone find these?

    Reload buckshot?

    I've been doing it for severl years; there's even a 12ga. load with buffer (you'll have to look it up, sorry, but if IIRC it's from BPI) only diffrence is having to count out & hand place the pellets; got some #1 & 00 buck dirt cheap, so that's how I started. Doing 20 & 12 ga. Get a single...

    Shortage of .308 rifles at the LGS today.

    same problem finding used 308 i was looking eariler this year (Central Tx) and couldn't find a decent used bolt action 308 either; I dealt with at least 4 pawn shops that I had had success with eariler, and 4 large gun stores that usually have a good selection of used rifles on hand. I...

    saw a beautiful wood stocked 308 mauser, with apparently a semi custom bbl. [it didn't have the rear sight on the bbl.]; had a peep sight mounted on the right side of the rear of the reciever. As I've never worked on, owned or shot a sporterized mauser, I wuz wondering about a scope mount...

    What is the best but most economical .223 ammo to shoot?

    I'm reloading 55gr FMJ remmy boolits in front of H335 in my reused/found/begged cases on Lee gear for .17 cents per round; that's how you shoot ALOT cheaply. You can get a good basic reloading bench setup with this gear for less than $150 that will load accurate ammo & keep you busy watching...
