I have a couple suggestions for you. 1) Don't literally zero so that POI = POA at 100 yards. If you do that then you will have to hold over if shooting further. For practical shooting you want to be holding under, not over so you have a better view. At least have it shoot a few inches...

I also want to know if those two rounds even fit in the chamber. Where was the BCG at exactly? I have seen oversized rounds in factory ammo before. For example a Winchester White Box .40 that literally wasn't even close to fitting into the chamber of my Sig. I mean not even close. Or some...

Define "a good bit rusty." Preferably with a picture.

You should use a safety, but not trust a safety. If you don't understand how to use the Mosin safety then you need to put that weapon down until you learn how to use it. You place the butt in the crook of your elbow and grasp it with your thumb and forefinger. Walking around in the field with...

After following the advice I got in this thread I shimmed the stock with pieces of brass. I got my 200 yard 10 shot groups from 14" to 4.5". Thanks!

I'm using PPU ammo, shooting off of a bench with sandbags. My groups with all kinds of other rifles are better.

I have a Savage-made Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk I FTR '49 that is giving me major vertical stringing issues. My ten shot groups are about 14" tall and 6" wide at 200 m. I really want to get this fixed. I have lots of good gunsmiths nearby, but I'm not sure if they know Enfields. Should I have it...

1) Have you noticed that the rear sight graduations are wrong? If it is dead on at 100 meters on the 100 meter setting, then it is low at 200 meters on the 200 meter setting. For 200 meters the 300 meter setting matches POI/POA. I'm shooting 150 gr Prvi Partisan, so almost exactly the original...

Actually, ammunition standardization doesn't really make sense for a civilian. You are not a trapped German in Stalingrad with a P-38 and MP-40 waiting for the Luftwaffe to fly ammunition to you. You are a civilian in one of the most prosperous countries on earth. You can buy any...

Coroner's Report... "Cause of death: no magazine extension on HD shotgun."

Read this USMC rifle marksmanship manual: http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/MILITARY/united_states_marine_mrcp_3-1a%20-%2023_feb_1999%20-%20part01.pdf If you want to learn to shoot, buy a Savage or CZ bolt action with irons. 10/22's are inaccurate junk in my experience. A centerfire...

Well it's always good to minimize gun-related clutter. I am constantly selling guns and accessories that I don't use just to keep organized. Generally I'd say if the person could handle it, a .308 semi-automatic rifle like an M1A is the most versatile. You can shoot varmints with it or...

You could play a round of golf with just a 7 iron, but you'd be a lot better off with a whole set of clubs. And whether we like spending the money or not, the same is true of firearms.

More M14s have probably been scrapped by throwing them overboard than are in service with the Navy.

If I remember correctly, these are actually imported from South Africa.
