Another great resource for that type of info is my own beloved Garand Collectors Association. The website is www.thegca.org. When you join you will receive their quarterly journal which is a fascinating read on parts and collecting them. Now to switch hats and talk practical use as a tool...

The only time I don't carry is when legally prohibited. My workplace is firearms friendly and in fact the owner (that would be me) actually encourages all/any of the employees to be responsibly armed (proper arms, spare mags, appropriate holsters)! Regards, Bob

First off, as we all probably "know" clearly 90% statistic is not really accurate. Secondly, I find it interesting and ironic that in the comments section of the link posted in the OP the Senate is being denigrated as not being "democratic" because of it's structure of equal seats from each...

Where is the ACLU on this one? This is not even truly a gun rights issue: this is a bona fide 1A issue which this school system apparently is too blind to see- and represents what is slowly happening all over the country. Not only should this young man and his family fight this one all the...

I thought I had seen or read everything. This column actually makes mention of either repealing or revising the 2A to make "it a privilege, not a right". http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/12/opinion/obeidallah-podcast-gun-control/index.html?hpt=hp_bn7 Dark days ahead folks if the general popluce...

148 gr standard recipe wadcutter handloads for my Jframes backed up by 2 speedloaders with 158 LSWC- simply for ease of reloading. They all poke about the same hole and all have essentially the same (relatively poor) incapacitation potential unless CNS shot. Bob

I have had good luck with (of course) USGI 15 rounders and the most recent batch of Korean 15 rounders-although I replace the magazine springs right from the get go with new Wolff 15 round springs. The 30 round Korean mags have been a bit iffy accross about 5 different USGI/CMP carbines that...

Thanks daggert for taking the time and putting forth the thought to get this written up as such. This is not only intellectually well done but emotionally resonant with the core beliefs so many of us cherish. As a retired US Navy officer, I think this short essay ought to be required reading...

Already talked to the wife. If this nonsense comes to PA (unlikely but you never know) we are outta here for TX, UT, WY or such Bob

Actually, Wevil is probably the most correct; the polls of any type get skewed by the population polled. Go to the place IF you like their coffee and "vote" I would suspect that if you were able to "categorize" or "stratify" the "average" Starbucks customer they would be substantially more...

The Swede stripper clips work absolutely perfectly and very smoothly in 03A3's; I bought a couple hundred last year from Samco and they all function great. In fact, when compared with USGI I'd gladly take the Swede clips as they are smoother to load into the clip and into the rifle from the...

+1 on the Kuhnhausen manual(s). Also there's a neat little book from Roy Baumgartner you can find here: http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Shooting-Garand-Roy-Baumgardner/dp/193122014X that contains all sorts of neat little pearls. HTH Bob

fallingdown Let us know how you make out! Bob

FWIW I have a slightly different approach. I use the Sinclair bottle adapter and their HDPE bottles; I mark each bottle with a sharpie marker for the type of powder and then use only that powder in that bottle. When I change loads/powders I change the bottle. Makes it kinda fullproof esp when...

I've been using Varget 47gr even for years with 165gr bullets from both Hornady (SST) and Sierra (SPT GK) and have roughly equivalent accuracy with the loads being repeatable from bench at 0.7" at 100 (M70 classic FW with 22" barrel). In my hands prone generally groups open up to 1-1.5". The...

I use 165 Hornady SSTs and/or 165 Sierra Gameking SPTs over 47gr Varget. OAL on the SST 3.250", 3.30" on the Gamekings. Both work great. I suspect given the responses here that the 165s are pretty popular which may account for the difficulties finding them in our "ammo component depleted"...

My recommendation would be to try the Checkmate 7 round hybrid feed lip mags; this will probably work and most probably solve most feeding issues for most folks if the ammo and gun is reasonably close to being spec. There are issues with OAL but as noted above the real issue is the "length to...

All of my loads are both Garand and bolt gun safe since I end up shooting the same ammo out of my gas guns and my Model 70s. For the 165SST's I use 47 gr of Varget or 4895. The OAL is the listed in the Hornady manual and I crimp right in the cannalure. Regards, Bob

Grab the 586- good price and a great gun! Regards, Bob
