    What's up with Para Ordnance?

    I have a 70's era P14 45 LDA that runs like a scalded dog!! Excellent trigger and eats everything I've run through it. Look for an earlier Canadian pistol. Stay away from new ones!!

    M1 Rifle Doubling (or full auto M1?)

    "A double with an M1 or M1a is usually related to trigger control. The trigger MUST be held back after each shot and then "reset"! Also never "feather the trigger like you would on a hunting rifle. Three degrees!!!!! Sure you were wearing gloves. Its easy to double a M1 or M1a with improper...

    Simple Mosin nagant Question: Single Loading?

    If you think about it, it doesn't make any difference! From mag or inserted into chamber, the extractor doesn't snap over the cartridge rim until the bolt is closed!

    Best and Worst in piston AR's?

    I installed the Bushmaster Gas Piston kit into my M4A3 and love it. No problems at all. Runs super clean, works as advertised! Thing I like the best is it don't throw brass into the next county now!! Also, seems like the cyclic rate is slowed somewhat. I'm happy with it!!:)

    Why Not a M1 Garand?

    I have one of the "New" Springfield Armory M1's in .308. That puppy is a pure pleasure to shoot. Weight?? Makes for a very stable platform!! The best battle sights ever!!

    how to safely see if your mosin nagant can cycle your ammo?

    Use that little funny shaped tool to check your firing pin protrusion. The one with the slots in it. You can find vid's on you tube. Easy as pie!

    45/70 hunting bullet?

    In my Marlin Guide gun and Browning 1885, the Hornady 300 Gr. is a bang/flop round for whitetail's! Never had to shoot one twice!! You do need to use loads that are suitable for your particular action type and strength. Can't stress that enough!!!!!
