My buddy just acquired one of these ol guys. It was used as a training rifle for some branch of the military and still has the original sling. We had planned on having a range day and were going to bring our respective nephews and teach them how to shoot. This gun was what we were...

Any links or suggestions for me to get zeroed in before class? I usually have an EOTech with a flip up rear site on my 16" RRA Midlength Carbine. For the class I purchased an A2 carry handle and put my upper on a spare lower with an A2 stock. The operators manual has different settings...

I have a chance to attend one of these training events. What is the primary difference between the one day and two day classes? I really can only spare one day but if it is really important to be there for both days I may be able to juggle my schedule. Is the one day training sufficient...

Looks like they are going to be offering a 3X and 4X magnifier for the EOTech.

My pistol training is under the guidance of a former Chapman instructor who runs our ranges tactical pistol shoots. Often the IDPA and IPSC guys will shoot with us. Some of them are really fast and accurate. They do have a tendency to overrun their cover and blast away with no regard to...

Had a Commander, pre series 80, satin nickel finish. Didn't like the short trigger. Didn't like the arched mainspring. Didn't like the lack of beaver tail grip safety. Didn't like the (admittedly crisp) heavy trigger. Now if it wasn't satin nickel I could change out parts at will...

I would like to remove the breech bolt to clean. The barrel and gas system is removed. The manual says to let the breech come forward to a rest and remove the cocking handle. How do you remove the cocking handle?

In part three they are asked about assault weapons while referencing the poor little girl killed on the south side from rifle fire. Watch part three in this link Brady seems the most solid so far an the issues. I would vote for the milkman also.

It appears the contact with humans and their protected status has made them start losing the fear of humans. Death in Canada could alter state's wolf debate

I have been shooting for four years. Having excellent vision, reading a few books, lots a rounds downrange plus hanging out here picking up pointers I became a decent shot while standing still in a stall all on my own. In October of last year I took an introductory class at a local range...
