    My latest addition to the family

    Stopped in a shop that sells stripped AR receivers, and just decided to it was time to build my first AR from scratch. I didn't want a plain vanilla .223, but something instead that was deer capable. Since I'm already a fan of Swedish Mausers, I selected the 6.5 Grendel as the caliber of choice...

    Inch magazines for my metric FAL

    Midway USA is having a sale for the month of November on Inch pattern FAL magazines. What I've read is that although metric magazines will fit in an "inch" reciever, inch magazines will not fit in a metric reciever. However, I just read on the James Rawles website that the critical...

    Minute of angle question

    I know that a minute of angle at 100yards is 1.04" and target shooters reporting their results usually calculate what their MOA is at 100 yards. Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever bothered shooting at the distance that 1.000MOA=1.000"? Taking the tangent of 1/60th of 1 degree I get a...

    Help with Taurus model 44

    Was shooting my Taurus 44 this weekend when the cylinder just came out of the frame. Wasn't shooting max loads, just some 44 specials. Can't slide the hinge pin all the way in for the cylinder to go back into position. The end of the hinge pin has a plunger/spring on it and think it must...
