Hi folks,
I'm a big fan of Prvi Partizan ammo, and use it extensively in my .223/5.56mm NATO rifles (it's reasonably priced, reliable, accurate enough, and available in mil-spec M193/M855 loads).
Alas, my stores of .30-06 are now quite low, so I'm thinking of restocking on some ammo that...
...(like putting holes in the cooling or oil systems, nicking electrical wires, and so on), but I'm more curious about how effective an ordinary rifle* is at causing a more or less immediate cessation of engine function.
Indeed, this curiosity makes me want to find an old junker car (or...
After the National Forest Service closed one of the several shooting spots in the National Forest near Tucson (up on Reddington Road, for those familiar with the area), I'm figured I'd to coordinate a mass cleanup of the area.
This should have several potentially useful results:
- A...
Hi folks,
I'm putting together a shooty goodness trip to the Coronado National Forest on Saturday, April 5th 2008.
Most of the attendees are students (mostly physics/astronomy folks) at the UofA, and it was convenient to coordinate the event via Facebook's event manager.
It's likely that...
Greetings all,
I've been pondering setting up a price finder website, sort of like GasBuddy.com...but for ammo, not gas.
There's a sticky thread at AR15.com that's updated frequently and shows the prices for various 5.56mm/.223 Rem ammo types available at a small number of online vendors...
...factors of guns for new shooters: there's effectively no recoil and no noise.)
As they say, "a picture is worth a kiloword"...so here's 1.20*10^4 words worth of pictures:
The remainder of the album is here.
Forgive the awkward stances used by some -- I made sure everyone...
Wow. I totally flubbed this one. I had no idea I accidentally posted this thread three times.
My apologies to the mods -- I owe you guys a beer. Could you merge this thread with http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=294404, and then close this one?
Something odd occurred to me while I was cleaning my M1 Garand this evening: the threads on the barrel that are used, in combination with a little screw-on bit and the gas plug, to hold the front sight assembly on the rifle would be ideal for mounting a suppressor.
Obviously, it'd need to be...
I was out at the Coronado National Forest today doing some recreational shooting with my cousin. We had a grand old time shooting my suppressed 10/22, MkIII, XD-45, and M1 Garand. I also gathered half a .50 cal can of reloadable brass. All in all, a good day.
However, the shooting area in the...
I'm a rather cheap individual, so saving money is important.
Additionally, I'm a huge fan of Hornady One Shot case lube, but at $8 for a 5.5oz aerosol bottle, that's not terribly affordable. Sure, it lasts a goodly amount of time, but it's still pricey.
Much like how one can make Ed's Red...
...was on a Lee Universal Depriming and Decapping Die.
Seriously. I don't think I've ever purchased anything nearly as useful as this die. Whether it's popping out crimped-in military primers, popping primers prior to tumbling, removing media from flash holes after tumbling (note to self...
The factory iron sights on my MkIII 22/45 are not so good when shooting at black targets at an indoor lighted range.
Black sights on a black target don't allow for much contract, particularly when I use a center-hold rather than a 6 o'clock hold.
I've seen any number of fiber optic or...
Does anyone know how to put the guts of the frame of the XD-45 back together?
Specifically, I'm having difficulty with the grip safety, sear, and other parts in the rear of the frame.
I took it apart according to the directions here, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to put it...
One can never have too many magazines, and right now I'm considering getting more 30-round AR mags, probably 10 (I have a bunch already, but 10 more can't hurt.)
All the ones I have now are USGI mags made by Okay, Center, and some other company I can't remember. I also have one Bushmaster one...
I'm considering getting a progressive press for reloading, and have a few questions for this august community.
First off, a brief summary of what I'll be using it for and my desired qualities in a press:
- I will be loading 9mm, .45 ACP, .223 Remington, and .30-06 Springfield. I would prefer to...
On April 3rd of this year, I posted a video on YouTube where some folks in Roanoke, VA had a grand time shooting machineguns with their friends and family back in 2005 (anyone have any who these folks are? I downloaded the video a while back from some site and would like to meet up with these...
After some time in the army, I'm going back to college to finish my degree in physics.
Of course, I figured that a physics class would be the perfect place to recruit new shooters -- science majors tend to be intelligent, motivated, and logical people (and thus less likely to be swayed by...
Hey folks,
I've been bitten with the full auto bug, and have been considering various options for legal, registered full-auto fun, mostly involving my AR. I worry about damaging a registered receiver (I'd likely be going out to shoot with friends, and don't want to worry about them dropping a...
After a bit of full-auto shooting over the weekend, and having to pick up brass of various sizes (.22LR and .223 mostly), I was thinking that there's got to be a better way of picking up brass than kneeling down on rocks and dirt.
Some put down tarps and whatnot, but I can't imagine that...
I think this picture says it all...
Click for a YouTube video (I wish vBulletin let folks embed YouTube videos).
I'm the schmuck in blue jeans, blue earmuffs, and the "peace through superior firepower" shirt.
The guy in the white shirt (Rob)is a licensed NFA manufacturer and dealer...
