    Green Dot vs W231/HP38

    What about Titegroup? I know it burns a bit faster, and is spherical, not flattened. But, from what I've read, it seems it should work great for 9mm and .45acp competition/target loads. Am I wrong?

    Springs in the Ruger Mark 3

    My Mk-I shoots 100% reliable. Its my beater, my daily go-to-gun for quick warm ups at the range, or when getting frustrated with a competition gun. Cleaning is when ever I think about it, which means almost never. Ammo is what ever is cheapest. And I've never changed the springs.

    A gun from a book I read

    I was gonna say, "you've gotta be wrong, it can't be 35 or 40 years ago. It was just a couple of years ago I saw Sudden Impact and Dirty Harry's Automag!" But...... God, I'm old! http://www.the-dirtiest.com/automag.htm

    7.62x25 + spinner targets = frag yourself

    I have a CZ52 which I really enjoy shooting. Is that MILSURP ammo you're getting corrosive? Where are you getting it from? I'm buying Winchester whitebox at around $20 for a bx of 50. But, I've heard that it is just repackaged Czech ammo.

    7.62x25 + spinner targets = frag yourself

    And, after "Barnie" reads em, you can come back in a couple of weeks with osteomyelitis and necrotizing faciitis because guess what(?) he missed something. Gunshot wounds are not as cut and dry as you think. OTH, shooting metal targets with jacketed rounds doesn't have to be dangerous, if...

    Alabama: culture shock

    Only because of the Sox-n-Sandles crowd. You know, all those transplanted Kalifornians who resettled in the Emerald City once Jerry Brown bankrupted their homeland.

    7.62x25 + spinner targets = frag yourself

    Hey LT, Those Xrays, even if you just had a 2view skull, bilateral lower extremity, and 1 upper extremity, 2 views each, that's eight images that have to be properly produced by a skilled technologist, using sophisticated digital equipment, and interpreted by a Radiologist (the MD the patient...

    AP - US rifles not suited to warfare in Afghan hills

    Don't forget all those .303 Enfields that 'ol CW gave 'em back in the '80s. It'd be nice to see the 6.8 SPC and 20" barrels become standard issue.

    Press gets it right again... Vile AK-46's....?

    Eh..., 46, 47. I'm just happy they didn't say "assault rifle". Don't mess whith Arkansans on the way to Wally World! I'm sure there'll be a thread locker on the way here momentarily.

    hi-standard usa model h-d

    I believe it would have been made prior to 1950. If I can find my reference book, I might be able to narrow it down more. Those early serial numbers are not as easily traced as the later ones, beginning in 1950 -------added---- Neither of my books (James Spacek, or Tom Dance) have serial...

    High Standard

    What do you mean, "pull on the trigger a couple of times...?" Are you racking the slide after a failure to fire? Are you putting a round that failed to fire back in the chamber then succesfully firing it? Have you tried different ammo? There are a couple of things that might be...

    Starline Brass ?

    I started reloading with range pickings. Then, when I got serious about reloading, I started sorting my brass. Eventually, it just made sense to begin replacing old mixed brass with new Starline. Its worth the investment. And, since I load 9mm and .45acp fairly light, I just use it till...

    New (to me) Curio Piece

    The Tokarev is a little light in the power factor department. an 85gr bullet in that cartridge is gonna require some attention to detail to even minor power factor (bullet gr weight X muzzle velocity / 1000 = 125). But, the loud report will make bad guys think you've got a real cannon. I...

    New (to me) Curio Piece

    Bought this CZ-52 from a guy selling on a local internet forum. For those of you not familiar, It's chambered in 7.62 X 25 Tokarev. It has a tremendously loud report and a quite a pronounced muzzle flip. The trigger leaves much to be desired. And, I'm not very accurate with it. But, it...

    Remington Model 25 in 25 Rem?

    I have inherited several guns from my father-in-law. One of them is, I think, a Remington Model 25 chambered in 25 REM. It also appears to have been modified with a side mounted peep sight. Can anyone confirm any of my assumptions, or provide me with any info about this interesting little...

    The dumbest thing the Brady Campaign has done to date...

    Thanks for that. At least someone remembers their Introduction to statistics class! This poll was a perfect example of why no one should ever accept anything anyone with a political agenda says at face value. What a bunch of crap, they ought to be ashamed.

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    Ooh, ooh, can I have 'em? My "never buy" guns are any of the tacticools in .223/5.56. At least until those rediculous prices come down. I really like the line from "Once we were soldiers", "times comes I need one, there'll be plenty of 'em laying on the ground."

    UPS loses my gun in the mail...what do I do?

    UPS (pronounced "OOPS" around here) has a track record for "losing" anything of value that is shipped on the cheap. If you don't insure it for full value and declare that the package contains the queen's jewels, it will get appropriated by someone who will properly appreciate it. I always...
