    Tell Me About the M1A

    I bought mine about a year ago and shoot it all the time. (I reload so bullets are pretty reasonable). Before buying one I suggest doing some reading first. There is a web site, (that I didn't save, maybe someone here knows the website, it's "z" something), I pulled for a couple of reloading...

    Old longrifle

    I acquired what I think is a Pennsylvania long rifle last week. The rifle is pretty well worn but I did make out the last for raised letters of manufacturer, "BURGH". The one thing that puzzles me is it has a percussion hammer instead of the flintlock. I can see the slots where the pan and...

    Hawke rifle scopes

    They're not a huge company but I was wondering if anyone has any of their sidewinder 30 on their rifle, particularly mounted on the m1a. The one I have, (not mounted yet), has a ranging knob and I'm curious if this is accurate. and finally the quality of the scope in all weather conditions.

    Taurus Buyer Be Warned

    I carry a little Tarus .38 snubby a lot of the time. It's never failed to fire and I've practice with it about once a month. The only other one I carry is my SA .40 sub. I like the Tarus because I can slip it into my pocket with out the hassle of strapping on the IWB holster, It's also extremely...

    Jackson County Sheriff must release list of concealed weapons permit holders, Oregon

    If it is a public record, (we had the same problem in Ohio a couple of yrs ago), the person/persons who published it and made available has put the gun owners at risk. Any BG that wants to steal a gun knows right where to go. I would think those responsible would be held accountable in court...

    Mexican Pirates -- Legal Question on Borders

    I guess you can compare it with Canada and US on Lake Erie. The boarder pretty much splits the lake. Canada is no guns, Ohio (US) it's legal. I asked the CG at Port Clinton about the same issue a few years ago when I had my boat up there, I also run up to Pelee Point about every weekend...

    Idiocy by range employees, at a state-run range in Arizona - Won't be going back

    I work at a private range open to the public and work most weekends. I care about safety of all the shooters on the line. New shooters I watch like a hawk, and I've seen more stupid things from shooters than I care to mention, even experienced ones. Our rules are pretty straight forward: On...

    Did You Ever Do Something Stupid, like......

    Outdoor "portaJohn", middle of winter, took the gun and laid it on the bench. Got up and the gun slid right down the hole. Used a big magnet to fish it out. Does that count??????

    Free Download - Extensive Gun/Reloading Reference

    I use XP pro SP3, Network Assoc Vscan 8.7 enterprise set to highest level. Unless a new spyware/virus came out in the past 10 min, the .exe file is about as clean as it can be. Thanks for the link. it took less than 5 min. to download and a about a minute to load the access db. I opened...

    Do You Trust YOUR Electronic or Battery Powered Digital Powder Scale~?

    No. Too many variables that could affect my loads. I use two beam scales as my primary. About the only thing I use from the Lyman is the check weight.

    Ohio judge tells citizens to carry guns

    I know it's legal for contiguous state, but don't know about FL. Why don't you go to a local gun store and ask them?

    Reloading for friends?

    I took 5 relatives to the range last Saturday. all from out of town. I let them shoot my CZ527, M1A, M1, AR10, .40SW, .45GAP, .38SW, .45APC, and 9mm, and I have reload ammo for all of them. For them I paid 211.00 for boxed ammo from Gander Mt. They shot the boxed ammo. I shot my reloads. As a...

    Powder storage

    I have pretty close to 50lbs stored in a cabinet I built in the basement. There's a Battalion Chief living about 4 houses down from me and gave me all the instruction I needed. :D powder, primers, and loaded rounds are in wood cabinets that I built. I used to have some ammo cans to store live...

    Shooting the .50BMG

    I saw that fire just before the dust cloud hit, and about the same instant my spotting scope decided to leave the range. Just curious, who was in front of the muzzle you got that picture.:confused:

    Shooting the .50BMG

    I had the opportunity to shoot a Barrett last Sunday at 300yds, (sorry we don't have a 3 mile range). The boss took it out to see how it did in really strong crosswinds gusting to 40~45mph. It didn't even phase it. Shooting it is no worse than a 12ga for the shooter, however the spotter behind...

    Ohio judge tells citizens to carry guns

    The LEO cutbacks are happening all over Ohio, mostly in rural counties and the rust belt cities. What's worse is the some of smaller towns that had PD's dumped them and turned it over to the SO's. It's sort of making a already bad situation worse.

    Ohio Concealed carry courses?

    BDSCR (Big Darby Creek Shooting Range, West Jefferson, OH), has two of the best instructors I've ever met. It's in the same price range, $200, for the 12 hr course. What's different about it than the others in Cen. OH, is you're spending more time outside practicing self defense shooting than...

    SPRINGFIELD GI 3" MICRO COMPACT 1911 - Opinions

    That's a very interesting statement and seems to make sense, but I'm still a little confused. I do know accuracy falls off with a shorter barrel, I shoot an XD 40 3" and and XD 40 4" and I can see the difference when I shoot at 25' targets. I've put thousands of rounds through my 3" and never...

    Doing the "Undone"

    I generally wait till winter to do all my reloading, unfortunately where I reload is also my wood shop, glass shop and min-machine shop. I start collecting reload supplies around Feb~March through the end of Nov. I shut down all my "honey-dew", cabinets, and glasswork by the end of Nov, clean...
