I was told by someone who owns and shoots several belted magnums, that they are less accurate than non-belted catridges. He explained that this was because the rounds headspaced off the belt, and there was usually a bit more tolerance up by the bullet.
My question is would it be feasable to...
So I've been looking around lately and run across a couple old Winchester '94s (1900 & 1903) for around a grand each. I know next to nothing about Winchesters, but these struck me as beautiful old guns and I think I might like to own a collectible Winchester.
My questions are as follows...
...parts I prepared the parkerizing solution. You mix the solution with distilled water in the stainless steel pot and heat it on the hotplate to 140*. Once it is ready you dunk your parts in (suspended by bailing wire) for about 15 min.
After the parts come out of the park solution I...
I found this link on a boating forum and thought it might intrest some people here on THR.

It's got some funny and neat stuff, especially on the care and maintainence of the weapons.
Edit: If only modern military manuals were written like this.
Last night I was watching Smallville (a show about Superman as a teenager) on CW and they had a very positive scene in which a civilian uses a privately owned gun for self defense.
In the episode, an evil doctor was performing experiments on a blind kid (early 20s). Lana Lang shows up at the...
My best friend is a 2nd LT in the USMC and is over in Iraq right now. He doesn't have a lot of time to get on the internet, but he did send a brief e-mail with a bunch of pictures. In a couple of the pictures he is clearly holding an M-79 grenade launcher. Now I know that the Marines are...
I just got back from renewing my CCW license at the Spokane County Court House and it was very easy and hassle-free. First off, I arrived at the court house and left my pistol locked in the car (I am not stupid enough to try and carry a weapon into a court house), but when I got to the security...
Ban Ki-moon of S. Korea was just sworn in as the Secretary General of the UN. He talks tough on Drafur (an issue largely ignored by Kofi and others), and S. Korea is a pretty good ally. Could this be a change for the better in the UN on issues like Darfur, Iraq, and Small Arms control...
I have been shooting pistols more and more and my pistol marksmanship, while "combat proficient" isn't exactly "bull's-eye proficient". Now I know that the only real way to improve is "practice, practice, practice", but my budget prevents daily (or even weekly) range trips.
So I had the...
I have seen some pretty neat Saiga conversions on the market these days, but there are two that seem to be missing.
What would THR members think about these conversions:
A .223 (or 5.45x39) Saiga with a Galil conversion kit.
or
A .308 Saiga with a SVD Dragunov conversion.
Most...
I keep hearing in news articles and from anti-gunners that the NRA is this big evil lobby throwing millions of $$ at politicians and hijaking the government. Now the NRA does contribute to candidates that support the 2nd and is often urging Congressmen and Senators to vote against gun...
The other day at the range I rented a Beretta Storm, after all the hype I figured I would give it a try. The Fit and Finish was nice and it shouldered well. Unfortunately the battery in the Red-Dot was dead so I had to use the iron sights. The flip up sights were crude but servicable, still...
Hi, I have been lusting after a 1911 since I first fired my friend's several years ago. Now I am still at a point in my life where buying a gun is a large decision and may require a few months of trimming my budget so I take a long time to plan out exactly what I want. After much...
I have a Baby Eagle .40 and I don't like the shape of the hammer, it is hard to cock. I know that the BE and CZ-75 are nearly identical internally, I used a CZ-75 takedown guide to detail strip my BE the other day. So my question is could I use a CZ-75 hammer (ring-type) in my BE? The parts...
I have got a lead on a $62 bubba enfield No4 Mk1. The stock has be cut and is in bad shape, the action looks good and is untouched, the barrel looks ok but not great.
So here's the plan, I want to turn this into a nice shooting sport gun. I don't see how it's worth it to restore it when...
Just found this on Yahoo.news.

It seems that Mayor Nagin is dead set on turning NO into a police city. What a brave new, chocholate, world:neener:
Edit: If people complined about using Nat. Guard for border...
I just got back from having a CT scan of my chest (don't worry it's nothing serious). They had to inject me with a "Contrasting Agent" and while I was signing the release forms I read that "rare occurrence, 1 in 1000 people might have a severe reaction to the agent. Very rarely, 1 in 10,000...
Back in September, October, and November of 2004 I heard many Democrats talking about how, if Bush won the election they would move to Canada or France. Well that got me thinking, suppose Hillary wins in 2008 and the Dems control both houses. Then they approve the UN's IANSA, shoot down any 2A...
I have several guns and live alone in a second story apartment (large complex, not building style). My normal habit is to leave my long guns unloaded and cased, but my pistols are usually loaded and on my person or in a place close by. I have realized that I really should start securing both...
