    Tac Ops Rifles

    Got the call, "Elvis has left the building". In the appointed number of days, Elvis appeared on the front porch. @MikeRTacOps said it would be flawless and the description is entirely appropriate. The test target is .039". It remains hidden from Elvis as I don't want him to become depressed...

    Where Do We Go From Here?

    CZ's whole 600 series seems like a complete bust. The loss of the 527 actioned small centerfires has a lot of varminters whining. If Gunbroker is an indicator, current pricing is stupid.

    Victrix Armaments Gladius

    I am occasionally under the misconception that I know what's going on. This is one of those occasions. Others here, are obviously familiar with the Gladius and there have been tall claims regarding triggers, accuracy, action characteristics, etc. Apparently, the Gladius was originally...

    Congratulations. I sold my complete set with indexes about five years ago. I looked forward to each issue's arrival for a lot of years. Same thing with Shooting Sportsman. I still have a bunch of hard-cover books that are full of arcane knowledge and some old old Shooting Sportsman that...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    I'm short-timing on an incoming 66. I have some questions you guys may be able to help me with. I bought some FGMM .300 WM 190grSMK when it showed up about a month ago. There was a dimensional discrepancy with the .308 FGMM 165s from that run that caused people some problems in both...

    Went to sell my 49-56 MSE and ended up spending more money

    In, probably, 1969 a SF1Lt. dropped by our shop. I don't remember his purpose for being there but he had a cut back M2 carbine. There was a bolt brazed to the slide. My guess would be the purpose would be to reduce the cyclic rate of fire.

    Movie Theater Let's have an argument -- Which is the Best Bond Movie...

    For me, it's definitely From Russia With Love. Remember that Fleming wrote most of his books in the '50s during the cold war. From Russia With Love debuted in '63 and reflected that period. Fleming's Bond was based on characters he knew during WWII experience in British Navy Intelligence...

    Spend my money. Do I need a MK20? Edit: Apparently we're forming a Uboat crew now.

    I had the "opportunity" to spend a few days on a diesel boat a little over a half century ago. Leaving port, we were instructed in the use of the toilets, the bunks and where the food was. The bunks were too small for a grown man, the food was better than we were used to and when they...
