I tend to differentiate between 'utility' and 'tactical' and think that HD can be anything you wish it to be. As to shooting any of those three 'types' of guns on a range, I don't see a problem with it as long as the specific club's rules are being followed and they are not disallowed. I don't...

The A. Zoli guns were the lesser gun, i.e, the Angelo Zoli guns. That is the newer company that went under. I'm not aware they ever produced any high quality shotguns, just lower end guns sharing a desirable last name and made to a price point. Antonio Zoli is a long time well respected and...

Problem you describe could be any one of several things. One of the harder ones to detect is when the trigger assy. is out of the gun, if someone released the hammer/pulled the trigger w/o restraining its movement and let the hammer slam into the carrier latch. If you look closely, you will...

Thanks, I had no ref. to the Astra to know for sure, but it is what I'd envisioned as probably being the case. Take mil-surp rounds that were purported to be loaded to quite high pressures to begin with (NATO specs), add age & possible hardening/embrittlement of the brass &/or one round being...

Mr. Zorg stated that he was using an all steel Astra A-100 when he experienced that case failure.

Third try to get my question stated so it makes sense. In reading this thread, I notice the pics provided by Mr. Zorg of the failed NATO loaded PPU case are 9x19 rather than a 7.62x25 and I did note that was stated up front. It is suggestive of having been fired in an arm with a partially...

I have very expensive Swiss made programmable [4 dif. programs] digital hearing aides, but they are generally more aggravation than not for many applications and they are independent of each other, requiring fiddling and adjustment & eat #13 bats. What I have found is that Northern Hydraulics...

second try at a response for you. Yes, have two of them, one on a .17HMR another on a .270. Like them both. Have had them several years now. It is hard to find people who actually own them on forums vs. people w/opinions, at least that was my finding when I was first looking at them. I never did...

That's not an adjustment screw 'per se' on your magazine, rather it is a screw which when tightened lets you use .22 shorts in the same magazine that normally uses .22LR cartridges and have them feed correctly. I beleive that it was the target versions that came equipped with the magazines...

My experience says use #4 shot on them in the wee hours of the night when they are moving about in the water. Its a head shot only, but never takes more than one. This is assuming they are doing damage to your property, that it is legal to shoot them and that you are absolutely certain such a...

Of all the odd meats, I'd have to say the green hamburger meat served in the public school systems here in Texas during the early 50's would probably rank near the top of the mystery chart for 'other odd animals'. I've hunted & cooked & shopped in local meat markets, open & enclosed & traveled...
