It's definitely a good idea if you think you may need one for an off-road or survival situation. Even just plunking or hunting. During hunting season I keep a mossy 500, camo clothes, and a bright orange vest in my truck just in case I feel I want to hit a hunting spot on my way home. Having a...

Wow I was noticing some strange wear on my Taurus PT 145 Pro slide and thought I would look up "kabooms". I was surprised to see so many respected name brands with horrible failures. I guess it's true that "Every manufacturer experiences some breakage"

You have Barnes' lowers? Wht kind of problems have you had with it?

As a matter or safe handling I use my pointer as my trigger finger. For my semi autos the "finger on the frame" trigger control is about the same as what you are describing. I tried what you are describing once because I could point more readily. Firing that way took a nice bite out of my...

I am looking at a Barns Precision Patrolman. I noted that Barnes Precision Lowers all have a "tension screw for fitting the upper and lower halves" (paraphrased from Andrew Barnes, shot show 2011 video on youtube). I am new to ARs so I have no idea what this means. Does such a "tension...

It is true that you can only judge an attacker's will by his or her actions. By attacking you they are asserting the intent to do you harm. The circumstances are really what matters in any SD case. Blows that are likely to give a concussion are serious matters, but are part of a normal "fist...

Well I have never experienced a failure to load or a failure to eject with any revolver. It's something about their design.

I took another look at the gun. It is marked GHD and the serial is in the early 1 million, indicating that it's from 1944. Which makes more sense with the GHD mark. Now on the right side there is stamped this funny thing. It looks to me like a C with lines through it but could it be the "crossed...

Thanks guys. I realize that I should have typed GHS instead of GHD. That's what I get for my memory. GHS would indicate an inspector mark from 1915 but I swear it says GHD.

Thanks Jim. Can you recommend a good resource that will help me learn more about identifying the pistol and which parts are replacements. I know the grips are post war pachmyer rubber grips. My grandad was always big on refitting grips, stocks even triggers.

I recently helped my dad pick up his fathers 1911. The family story is that it is the gun my grandfather carried in WW2 as a Sargent. The serial number dates to 1915 (115,xxx). Stamped US property on the right hand side of frame. G.H.D marked above the magazine release (this is from my memory, i...

I think you're right. when I shoot flat it shoots where it should at 170. I do have adjustable parallax. Could that affect my ling of sight that much? The angle of the shot down to the target is not enough to affect it that much

The angle can't be the same for every shot. The differnce may be neglible but when you dial up elevation in on your scope the rectice goes down thus you point your muzzle up. Anyway. I just tested the rifle and scope at the same distance on a flat shot. It shoots 3 and 1/4 inches low. I...

I am disappointed that the base is not cosmic. Because the base points down I have to bring the muzzle up by a given angle to be on target. so the trajectory is not coming out of a barrel level with the ground. I would think that a ballistic calculator would account for launch angle. just...

I really haven't messed with wind much except with a .22. Plenty of DOPE on that rifle but with the ever varying velocity of the .22 and shooting whatever is on sale, I haven't learned much. for the .308 (1 in 12 twist) do you have a recommendation on bullets to reach way out there and cut...

RE: Yes definitely meant 1000 yards. was just having fun with the new setup at the max distance at the range before I take it out to 300+. There really is no substitute for actual DOPE, but I can't afford to shoot as much as I would like to to get said DOPE. :D

20 moa base What should I put in my ballistic calculator to compensate for the 20moa base? I do plan to shoot out to 100 yards soon with this rifle and the buckmaster did not not have enough internal adjustment for me to get on target out that far. I would have had nothing left. For...

I have a rem 700 in 308, varmint barrel 26 inches, 20moa base Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14 x 40 on top 2 inches above the bore center. I know my scope is high, but I had the same problem with a Nikon 3-9 x 40 that sat very low. I am shooting either 147 grain pmc bronze (bc .401)or 168 grain SMK...
