    Sidearms & Scatterguns New to 1911

    I've bought a 1911 from one of the guys on here (a Para LS Hunter 10mm) and would like advice on where to go from here. I haven't shot a 1911 since I qualified in '63. Where is good info regarding care, feeding, maintenance, etc. I'm already loading 10 mm so I didn't want to go with .45...

    What did I do wrong?

    The OP's instructions don't sound like anything from RCBS. I always re-read the instructions if I haven't loaded in a while. You screw the sizing die down to touch the shell holder, lower the ram and screw the die DOWN another 1/4 turn (maybe less), so that your ram "cams over" when you lower...

    Rifle Scopes How much scope to put on a .270 Win rifle

    I just got a Leupold VX6 x 44 from Scott at Liberty Optics for just a shade over a grand. 3 to 18 power plex reticle with a firedot. I think I'm going to really like it when the power ring loosens a little. Good glass, light weight and the price is middle of the road. Really like that it...

    Eagle Arms Help

    I am also interested in the value as I have a complete (looks almost like new) A-2 with SN in the 102XX range. It is sitting in my closet collecting dust as my gunsafe runneth over...

    Hunting & Fishing Who hunts with Browning Rifles?

    I use a BAR in '06. They are made to shoot off of the shelf and anything will do, EXCEPT the "superformance" "minimag" loads are over-pressure. I'm currently loading 44.7 IMR 4895 under a 165 Sierra hollow point game king. Shoots right at an inch in my rifle. The spire point Gamekings are...

    Have I damaged my LMT MWS308???

    I asked the service tech at LMT (Gene, I think) why the change, as mine has .308 on it. He said the overseas customers preferred the 7.62X51; no difference in the rifles...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 safety?

    Being a lefty and kinda interested in a 1911, I see that most do not have an ambi safety. Is this a simple add-on, or do these manufacturers not care about the 15% of the population that is left handed? Thanks...

    7.62x40 Wilson Tactical

    Those are really nice rifles, but that cartridge has about as much shoulder as a housecat. If you're not careful you might have a headspace problem. Looks like a smaller version of the extinct .40 Whelen.

    Hunting & Fishing sierra gameking

    I use the 165 gameking in my '06 and also in .308 loads. Usually have a exit hole, blood trail Ray Charles could follow. I prefer the hollow point for dead right there, massive trauma, but the southern whitetail isn't as a rule as big as a big mule deer. Shots down here are usually not more...

    GAP 10 PMAGs

    Until you can find the Pmag. I have been running a DPMS 10-rounder out of my LMT and have had no problems at all, other than it only holds 9 rounds. A lot handier off of a bench than a 20 round mag.

    Brass issue

    Was shooting my .35 Whelan in my T/C Encore yesterday and after the first shot the breech face was covered in smut and the bore was really black. On the second shot, the primer backed out a little and on the 10 shots after, nothing noticeable at all. The first cartridge appeared to have blown...

    M14 any good at 800 ?

    I would like to see a genuwine stock-out-of-the-box M14 with GI glass stock shoot 1 MOA at 100. I can't near 'bout do it with mine and it has a real nice walnut stock. A .308 AR would be much better; how much better depends on how much you want to spend. Whatever, won't cost as much as a M14...

    Question about M118 7.62x51 ammo

    5 round 308 Pmag?

    If you aren't terribly handy, or don't have the time to modify a mag; I've got a DPMS 10-rounder that I use in my MWS that has been totally reliable, never a malfunction, not the first one. Only holds 9 rounds, but is handy off of the bench.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting 308 bullets

    Sierra 165 gr. Gameking; either SP or, I prefer, the BTHP. Shoots like a Matchking out to 200 yds or so in everything I've loaded it for. About 30 cents per each...

    Mystery Ranch Komodo as carry on?

    Look at the Sandpiper of California (S.O.C) Bug-out bag. The right size for a carry-on and the straps have pockets for storage, so they don't hang up on everything. Less than a hundert bucks...

    Where to buy Danner boots and which ones?

    I got a pair from the break room about two months ago. Hot weather boot in khaki. Light and super comfortable. $58.00 with tax and free shipping. YMMV

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Gentlemen (and I use the term loosely): It appears that we have devolved from using this part of the forum from posting motivational pictures of comely women in various stages of undress, soldiers, hunters, noble animals and whatever, to discussing prices of Starbucks and whatever else you like...
