Just had to rant a bit, and ask for a bit of forum advice. I bought my Springfield 1911A1 MilSpec because I wanted a bare-bones, basic model 1911. My first range trip with the pistol, it started having a problem with hammer follow-down. IE I would thumb the slide release and the hammer would...

I was just perusing some match barrels and I was wondering if anyone had experience with Lothar Walther Barrels. How do they compare to, say, Douglas, Shilen, Lilja, et al? Thanks, Nic

Hello All- I was looking at two stocks to potentially replace the B&C Duramaxx on my Savage 10FP. The first is the Sharp Shooter Supply Laminate Varmint Tactical. With the adjustable cheek piece and butt hook, the total cost for the stock would be $374. The second is the Stockade Prairie Dog...

Hi All- I have been having some strange issues with my Garand. Off the bench at 100 yards, using a six o'clock hold the point of impact is usually 5 inches or so above the x ring. I've tried adjusting the sights, but the rear elevation is completely bottomed out. What's also strange is that at...

Hello all- Has anyone tried this stuff: http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8458 It looks like decent ammo for a decent price, but I can't seem to find any reviews of it anywhere. Good? Bad? Ugly? FWIW, I'd likely be shooting it out of my Savage 10fp. How does this ammo compare...

Hello All, My favorite rifle is my M1 Garand in .308win. It's a 3.7mil SA receiver with a brand new Fulton Armory .308 barrel. It is a wonderful rifle. When I had the rifle rebarreled, my gunsmith told me that it would be OK to fire 7.62x51 NATO surplus ammunition in the rifle. I figured that...

Hello All, I am in the market for a new scope for my Savage 10FP .308, and I've narrowed my choices down to either a Nikon 3.3-10x44 Monarch UCC, or the SWFA Super Sniper. If I decided on the Nikon, I would get the model with a Mil-Dot reticle, as I've been wanting to learn to use a Mil-Dot for...

Hello all, Browsing this page: http://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/brandlisting?brandid=2473 I stumbled upon this line of scopes. I've never heard of them, and their website (http://www.countersniperoptics.com/) only yields a newsletter request form. Anyone have any information about...

Hello all- I recently purchased my first handgun, a Springfield Mil-Spec 1911. Not the GI model, but the Mil-Spec with the bigger dot sights. Anyway, I took it out for its first range trip today, and I put 100 rounds of CCI Blazer Brass .45 230gr FMJs through it. After I was done shooting, I...

Hi all, I've been reading several recent threads about the FN49 and a few posters seem to be of the opinion that it is better than the Garand. I'm wondering how and why. I have a Garand that I had rebarreled in .308 and it's my favorite rifle of any that I've owned or fired. By contrast, I've...

Hello all, I have been thinking I would convert my Garand to a .308 using a Criterion commercial barrel, and having the thing installed by a gunsmith. Are there any other modifications necessary to the rifle to convert from a .30-06 to .308 aside from the barrel swap? Any modifications...
