Just got my Bassett Machine M1A scope mount....I can see this is a much better mount than the cheap one I had on it that would work loose after 50 or so rounds. The Bassett bolt fits snug in the reciever, my other mount bolt had to go in sveral turns before it got the play out, out of spec bolt...

Well after much searching, an learning what type of M14/M1A I wanted, an deciding to wait for a right price I finally got one!! I love my Garands so it wasn't to big of jump into the unkown....I got a Fed. Ord. M14A, low s/n in the 6000 range. All USGI parts including a 6-61 HR barrel...the same...

I didn't get this shotgun, someone else in the family got it when my Dad passed several yrs. ago. He had it since before I was born. He had been offered up to 800.00 for it by a guy he worked with, but refused to sell it. It has no maker on it that we can find, all we found out about it is that...

I want a modern scope that would look good on a 1903A3, something that has that older look to it, but far cheaper than an original. Any suggestions?

Decided long time ago to stick with Winchester SuperX 1oz. slugs....12 ga. They are X12RS15 Rifled Hollow Points 1600fps. They shoot good an cheap...15 for under 10.00. At the range today, with brand new box I only had to make a slight change to the left an down....pretty much zeroed at 55yds...

Set me straight, does it matter if you use .308 or Nato 7.62X51...? From the new commercial M1A's to older Receivers built with USGI barrels...getting interested in adding one to my collection, an somewhere throught the years have heard conflicting reports to be careful what ammo to use...so...

OK...been watching The Pacific, an since my Dad fought there as a sailor on the USS Reynolds DE42, I thought I would share a picture. If anyone has a photo of a relative that fought in the Pacific, please post a pic. an maybe what weapon they carried. My Dad helped feed the 5" guns, 20mm...

I've been shooting my Colt AR-15 for some time with a 20" HBAR 1/9 twist. My son just bought a used Colt AR complete upper, 20" HBAR with 1/7 twist for 300.00 at a local gun show an then bought a new complete lower, folding stock DPMS for 199.00..we were wondering what some of the pro an...

Finally got to the shooting range after over 4 months of cold weather. Anybody else up North been out? Put a new Bushnell 4X9 scope on the AR, its in .223 an also took the 1955 HRA Garand with 4X9 old Tasco...only one other guy there....the range has 25 to 714 yd. backstops....heres the results...

Well I want to get into reloading...figure relaoding my CMP brass should be around 68.00 for 192 rds. Thats better than the 96.00 plus tax that it is now. Got the primer, powder, an bullets figured out...now my question! YEARS ago I used the LEE CLASSIC reloader on .223 for the AR....an I...

After years of wear on my previous paint job (treebark of the 80's), I just finished another another paint job on my Mossberg .12 with rifled slug barrel an scope. Used Grey Camo over entire gun, then used cut strips of masking tape for branches. Sprayed over with Black an Brown Camo paint an...

So how silenced is a AR supressor? Seen them on utube but never in real life. One maker says theres is like a .22....I would think that they would be better...guess from the movies right...does it have that .22 crack to it? I've also heard that after the round gets down range it creates the...

I put a S/K scope mount I bought off Fulton Armoury on my 1955 HRA. The nice thing about the scope mount is that it also has a rear peep sight built in. I put on a Tasco 3X9 Pronghorn scope, probably 30 yrs. old. I wanted my shots to stay right about 1.25" because the scope sets about that...

After not bowhunting for 12 yrs. I got a chance to hunt a woods, I could only hunt during bow, someone else would be gun hunting. My Hoyt bow needed new strings, but didn't have time to have them made, they were weak but have to do. 2 weeks ago I put my stand up, I picked a good spot, an the...

I did a search an read some of the posts before posting so I'll probably get griped at for posting a repeated question. Hope to start reloading some M1 Garand brass in the future an wondered how much 8lbs of powder would do an does 159.00 for 8 lbs. sound about right? Been out of reloading for...

Went to CMP today...heard last mon. that they had 3 racks of Field Grade HRA's, an low on ammo...almost 4 hr. drive an get there an they have about 2/3 of a rack of Field Grade HRA's...narrowed it down to 4, but not the best pickings..after I had looked at this one several time something...

A long time ago I read, believe it was in Readers Digest, about a man's wife saving back money. She decided to hide the cash down the barrels of her husbands double barrel shotgun hid away in the closet. One day the guy decides to go rabbit hunting......rabbit jumps up an he fires an $200.00 in...

Has anyone put a muzzle compesator on their AR? Did it reduce muzzle jump enough that you thought the money was well spent? Seen one by Miculek, with six slots on the sides, for $50.00. Seen others for around 90.00...
