When I got my first M1 Carbine, Korean-era .30 Carbine was plentiful and I bought a ton of it. There's only 1500 rounds left of that, so that means I've shot at least 2000 rounds of that 1950s ammo thru my various M1 Carbines with nary a hiccup.

I've always heard that Bear Creek was pure crap. But just before Covid shut down everything, I bought a BCA complete upper in 300 BO as a 5 year anniversary present for my kid. His wife said he'd been lusting after a 300BO but she couldn't find one anywhere. Neither could I, so went to my...

I believe the Automag III was chambered in .30 Carbine

I have one, and it's a kitten in that big Blackhawk. I love it!

I lost a CDS dial on one of my Leupold scopes last winter, and had misplaced the original dial. Called them, spent less than 5 minutes on hold, and two days later I had a new stock dial. What really surprised me was in about 2 weeks, I received a new CDS dial at no charge. I called out Henry...

Congrats on your Sharps, and may you enjoy years of pleasure shooting it! I have the Pededsoli Q Down Under, and it's deadly accurate - all 13 pounds of it. Even spicy .45-70 has minimal recoil in this beast.

Mine too! I shot it in a ton of bullseye contests til I lost it in an ugly divorce. It was one of the first handguns I bought post-divorce too, but it was never quite the same.

Yeh, glad I didn't have to hump one of these over some very rocky and sandy places.

Running my S&W 460 with .45 Colts. Finding someplace I can shoot my Barrett M107A1. Verifying zero on my Browning Hell's Canyon and retrieving a 100 yard target with one ragged hole. Every ping from emptying the clip in either of my M1 Garands. The way my Ed Brown Kobra Carry sits in my...

During my misspent twenties, I remember coming out of Army shoot houses after 4 hours of exercises with blackface and tasting lead. The only ventilation on those was from doors and leaks in the ceiling. As an aside, that's where I began development of my military grade tinnitus. These days I...

I have a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 30 carbine. It makes a fun companion to my M1 carbines, and is remarkably tame.

Is it bad that I have everything on that list except for the SA Xdm? All purchased before 2022.

Yeh, NAGR is particularly guilty about spamming, especially if you've ever signed a petition or even worse have given them money. PSA: If you wanna donate, then donate to the GPA or the FPC or the 2AF.

A pneumo isn't always immediately life threatening. You can have a slow leak and be only mildly symptomatic. Sometime lungs will develop a pneumo spontaneously, and it's not until we get a chest film that we see it. Closed pneumos are common with smokers, as well as with patients who have...

I wonder if the left has noticed that the CMP will ship a real, actual "weapon of war" right to your house in a nice case?
