My 223 does not have the porting and I like the rifle. It may look a bit odd but I just view it as an accurate 223 rifle which is a pleasure to shoot.

I used my Remington 700 BDL 30.06 that I got when I was 14 years old. I used Federal ammo that shoots well in it. Mule deer in Eastern Washington 4x3. Mule deer in Wyoming 5x5 Pronghorn in Wyoming. Will

I will occasionally take out my CZ70, but when I shoot 32 ACP it is usually thorugh my Russian Nagant revolver with the 32 ACP cylinder. I have never had a problem with it.

I would recommend a book by Jim Corbett, "The Leopard of Rudraprayag." He has several stories about hunting down man-eating Leopards and Tigers in India, but I think this is the best. Will

This post brings back memories. I kept a few rifles and handguns in my University housing. This was in San Diego and it was definitely against the rules. They were well hidden and locked up. The hard part was "smuggling" them from University housing to my car so that I could go shooting. I...

A few years ago I bought a 470 Nitro Express Double rifle. I haven't taken it to Africa yet, but eventually.... Will

It has to be the 30-06. I got into the CMP Garands a few years back. Let me see, it started out as trying to get each of the 4 manufacturers, then extras, then the M1D, then the HRA Collector grade, ... M1 Garands, 1917, 1903A3, and deer rifle = more than 20 rifles. I don't regret a...

A few years ago I was buying M1 Garands from the CMP. One was a Collector grade Harrington & Richardson. It has clearly been fired, but based on the degree of wear on the bolt and receiver, I would be very surprised if it was more than a hundred rounds or so. I admit that I have not been able...

I have 2 rifles in .308. My Savage is used for 600 yard matches and I don't spend much time shooting it casually. I feed it my match load with 168 or 175 grain SMK's, depending on brand of brass. When I shoot my M1A, I use either Portuguese, South African, or Australian milsurp. I was...

My first firearm was also a Ruger 10/22. I was 12 years old and had saved up my money for a long time to get it. I probably had a perpetual smile on my face for a month. It's hard to guess how many rounds I have put through that rifle. I am guessing at least 30,000 with some of those being...

I too bought my Norinco Mak-90's in the early 90's. I bought the second one after having to turn the first one back in. About 6 months after I bought the first one, I got a letter from the gun shop indicating that they had received a call from the ATF indicating that the rifle has a "machine...

My best mistake involved my first M1 Garand. It was in the 90's and the M1 was a korean import. The rifle was worn, dirty, and had an interesting rattle when it was shaken. I shot it without any problems. I decided to take off the gas cylinder to clean it and I saw that the threads for the...

I have only tried it in a 45 Colt. No problems at all. I have toyed with the idea of using it in a 470 Nitro Express. I realize the odds of regulation are slim, but it would be fun to try. Will

I would like to have a semi-auto 1918 BAR in 30-06. I have tried one out at the range and it was comfortable to shoot as well as accurate. Oh yeah, a Johnson would also be a good choice. Will

Let me see, my first firearm was a Ruger 10/22 that I got when I was 12 years old. My second was a Remington 700 BDL 30-06 at 14, and then a Ruger Mk II when I was 16. I stll have all of those and I would never part with them. Will

I did have an International Harvester mixmaster coverted to 308. I later added an adjustable gas plug. That's all you really need. My rifle shoots fine without a magazine spacer. Will

I bought a P64 a few years ago. It is a well made gun, but I don't shoot it much. I am not recoil sensitive. I don't have a problem with hot 44 mag loads, but the P64 just does not fit my hand well. I have played with different hand positions to no avail. I am good for maybe 10-15 rounds...

I'm 41 years old now, but my first firearm was also a 10/22 that I got when I was 12 years old. My dad bought it for me with money that I had saved up. I still have it, and I agree with other posters that you should never get rid of your first gun. That rifle represents many hundreds of...

FWIW- A friend of mine did obtain a 9x25 barrel for his Glock 20. He ran into problems with cartridge length restrictions from the glock mag. I don't recall the specifics, but he was overall not especially happy with the velocities and ended up getting rid of the barrel. Will

I have to admit that I did that with M1 Garands. Let me see, you have to have at least one from Winchester, International harvester, Springfield Armory, and Harrington & Richardson. Then you have to have a pre-war Springfield. Then you have to get a broad range of representative serial...
