No, it's not rocket science, but the folks that show up sure need the training by and large. Thus while it may be clear that it is possible to get the information from other sources, it is also equally clear that most are not doing so, and that it is available via Appleseed for much less cost...

Kaylee, Here's my advice: Go ahead and read more of Boston's Gun Bible, in particular the sections on The Warrior Mentality and individual training. In doing so, you'll see Boston's reference to sharpening the whole length of the blade in his analogy of the defensive spectrum. From the...

Years back I tried some Wilson Rogers 47s. I went with the 7 rounders for ultra reliability. However, one started to act up a bit by not locking the slide back on the last round, resulting in the slide stuck on the plastic follower. I then tried several McCormick Power Mags. These worked...

Re/scopes, also consider the Burris Pistol scopes. If you look at their web page specs, some are in the "correct" eye relief range. Right now, I'm testing a Burris 2-7x pistol scope with Ballistic Plex reticle on an M1 Garand utilizing the AmegaRanges forward mount. Initial tests are very...

It's Jim Crews. Good trainer, good writer, good material. http://www.marksmans.com/sys-tmpl/door/ I'll have to respectfully disagree. There is NO better place to learn the fundamentals than position rifle shooting. You augment that with learning field expedient postions, snap shooting...

1. As noted, all original .30 carbine magazines were 15 rounds, with 30 round mags introduced for the M2 version. That's the only two choices ever for GI. 2. Currently, 5, 10, 15, and 30 round magazines can be purchased - aftermarket. Some of the 10 rounders are merely 15 rounders with a...

Absolutely the choice is the Ching Sling. I have them on most of my field/working rifles (from true Scout Rifle through M1 Garand, with a couple of standard bolt actions thrown in for good measure). As noted, very quick and nearly as stable as a military (1907) sling or other support...

Frandy - nice rifle. I hope you get to enjoy shooting it soon. Welcome to the Garand Club! As for the Wake County NC indoor range, it actually goes out to 100 METERS. Kinda weird, but the designers had inconsistent input IMHO. In some ways the place is great, in others lacking. In any...

Ian, I just walked in minutes ago from the local gun show. One of the things that I looked for (unsuccessfully) was something to hold Garand enblocs. I have the 1923 belt and it's OK, but I'm always looking for something else. For now, these plus the Australian 7.62 F4 bandoleers are my...

Ian, If I understand your intent, I think I know of a good solution for you. I have all of these parts, but have not gotten them together to test yet: -Garand -AmegaRanges forward mount -Leupold QRW rings -Burris 2-7 PISTOL scope with Ballistic Plex reticle Eye relief OK (for sure...

Consider this: 1. Two walls of stacked ties leaves a common "seam" that is the weak point. Your rounds will find it. 2. If you do three walls, with two stacked the "long" way and the middle one stacked the "short" way, then you might avoid a round "slipping through" the seam. I am also...

Don't forget the M1 Garand and M14 type rifles. Pull the trigger group out and you have a takedown rifle - presto. For size reduction, this can be done with the 18" bbl. "bush" or "tanker" length versions, or even the SA, Inc. SOCOM flavors if you are OK with them.

kahr404life, I'm also in NC and really like the "Tanker" concept. I'm actively researching it now. There are many good solutions, but even more internet ragging on how none work, etc. Ignore the raggers and proceed with care and caution. That said, I've heard mixed things about the Gun...

Pretty rifle! IF that rifle has a standard contour bbl. and not a heavy one, there is another option: http://www.amegaranges.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl/SID=1132076038.22744/page=miniM1.html This is just a rear handguard swap, allows you to keep the issue sights, and is robust in the limited...

MN 91/59, 91/30 option If you have one of these (all M1891/59 that I know of, most if not all 91/30 from what I hear). there is another option. The BKL mount can replace the entire rear sight, which is easily (in most cases) removed by drifting out two pins. This leaves you with nice...

Most learned ones, OK, this is something that I can't recall the source of. It goes something like this: "In WWI, the Germans went to war with a hunting rifle (Mauser), the Americans went to war with a target rifle (Springfield), and the English went to war with a battle rifle (Enfield)."...

Feanaro, You are correct, but to clarify the matter: -the AA size Mini Mag-Lite WILL fit into the cleaning kit holder on the FR8 (the part attached to the front sight mount) -the above will NOT fit inside the cleaning kit itself -one AA battery fits loosely inside the cleaning kit, but...

I've been playing around with various hacks for mounting a light on the FR8. I have a couple of ideas that will work, but I'll do some more testing before posting my results. For the 2-3 samples that I've tried, the CR123 sized battery WILL fit into the cleaning kit tube, albeit sometimes...

PAC 762. Sounds good. I look forward to your results from shooting it.

trying again.... OK, I'll try not to mess up this time. Essentially, both PAC 762 and Bad Flynch are correct. Here's my perspective. My background is in target shooting - smallbore (.22) three position and air rifle in particular. Thus I'm very, very familiar with aperture sights and...
