    Thompson Center Dimension Input

    Ok everyone, I found a few old threads from 2012, regarding the TC Dimension. Supposedly, TC has the 2013 model out and sounds good. The looks are still something to be desired, but the concept sounds great. Does anyone own one of these? How does it shoot? Are they reliable? I want to get...

    I thought I had seen it all, Until Today's Gun show

    WOW!, is all I can say. Not sure how many of feel this way, but I was blown away when I went into the gun show today in GA. I usually try to go every now and again, just to get a good laugh or to support some my local gun shops. Well, today I noticed how bad the run on ammo really has gotten...

    Scope Magnification (Does it matter?)

    I have been doing some research and I have had every so called expert around my shop tell me a different story, so I want to get your opinions. Let's take a Bushnell Banner 3x9x50: I originally sighted it in on 4x, starting at 25yds, out to 100yds. As I went out to 200yds, I adjusted the...

    Seating bullets to create pressue

    Ok, this weekend I loaded some .308 150gr Hornady BTSP with IMR 4895 and it got me to thinking. I am by not means an expert, but I am very OCD when it comes to safety and as I thought about this, it made me worried. I followed the reloading manual to a "T", measuring case length, OAL, measured...

    M1 Garand Tanker Concerns

    I have been reading past posts and I am now having second thoughts on purchasing a supposed original M1 Garand Tanker. Is there any way to tell if it is a converted or did they really make these rifles and not issue them? What would be a good asking price if it turns out to be original? I am...
