    CMP M1 Garand Service Grade

    I went with a service grade a number of years ago and thought that it was the best bang for the buck. Buy as much ammo as you can because they are a joy to shoot. I have not tried either adjustable gas plug yet. Jim

    30-06 and Taking Hogs

    6 years ago I used a .30-06 for my first Russian boar. I was told to use a 180 grain fail safe from Winchester. It worked! Since Fail Safes aren't available anymore, you might try Winchester's XP3. Jim

    Searching for a .22

    I've had a Ruger MkII Government Bull Barrel for years and love it. It is accurate enough. FTF and FTE is rare but indicates that the gun is filthy and needs a cleaning. I've tried a friend's MkIII Hunter and it is incrediblely accurate with the 550 round packs from WalMart. With any .22...

    Helpme choose Ruger-S&W

    Chilean, You have quite a dilemma. The blackhawk from Ruger is single action so that you have to pull the hammer back each time you want to fire the revolver. The S&W is double action so you can pull the trigger to fire or you can shoot it single action. The S&W will fire .38 special and...

    Does the NRA want new members?

    joplinsks, Thank you for joining the NRA. They get bashed a lot by people within the shooting sports community too much. They take enough flack from the anti-gunners as it is. I joined at a gunshow years ago and have been renewing directly with the NRA ever since. I've found this to be...

    Military Innovations since 1700AD

    White, I'd suggest one of your technologies be the radio or telephone or telegraph. Think of its effect during the Civil War but more so on the First World War etc. Command and control changed the entire face of tactics. I'm sure that you'll get tons of ideas to write about. Good luck...

    Should Judges get to carry a handgun without a permit?

    Isn't the 14th Amendment the Equal Protection of Laws Amendment? They can't interpret the 2nd Amendment and others correctly, now they have trouble with Equal Protection of Laws? I voted for "yes, as long as everyone else can" but I'm tempted to vote for the last choice. Jim
