    Target Hammers and Triggers

    It is a matter of personal choice... My 4" S&W M-19 has the target trigger and hammer.... This is the gun I had when I carried a badge... That being said, both my 2" S&W M-15 and my 6" S&W M-629 have standard hammers and polished very smooth triggers... I love all three... My reasoning for these...

    Moving to alaska, keep my .40 or buy a .44?

    I flew the bush in Alaska for seven years back in the 1980s... For big bears, I carried a 12 GA Coach Gun loaded with slugs... I also carried a S&W M-629 in a shoulder holster... A light weight 9MM shouldn't be necessary... When we went to the wilder places, I carried 44 SPL HP Reloads that...

    Handgun shot load for rats?

    It has been my experience that handgun shotshells produce about 1 inch spred for each foot of distance. Rat at 10 feet, pattern would be about 10". Patterns tend to be doughnut shaped too. I like shot loads for snakes, but hunting rats might be a cahallenge. The use of Speer pastic bullets ot...

    I should have also included references to other threads on the Waktz kit. Here is the best of them. http://www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=5338 George and his friends were looking more at accuracy where terminal performance is where my emphysis lies. It is a good report that is well worth...

    How to mark center of Glock front sight?

    I build models... About 35 years ago I bought a sight insert kit that used a plastic that would set up when poured into a slot filed into a front sight blade. I installed a red insert into the front sight on my M-19. After I dressed it out I engraved a groove about 1/32nd inch wide and about...

    D-Rock Kit (Part 3) Derek also provides two sizes of (Hydra-Shock type) post HP The Large post produces a HP about the same size of the Kelly Scorpion point. It does differ in the width of the space around the post My hopes are that this will give improved modest expansion while providing a...

    D-Rock Kit (Part 2) Like the Kelly die set, the reforming causes a tight fit in the die. In both cases, the forming rod is used to push the cartridge back out of the die. The D-Rock cartridge extraction is much easier. First you turn the press adapter to station three where there is a hole...

    Back in 2012, I posted this to another site. Here is a slightly edited copy of that post. Accurizing 22 Rimfire Ammunition - Do the bullet modification kits really work? I've been involved in several discussions about the 22 long rifle on a couple of the discussion group sites that I visit...

    The Viking Funeral of Jake The Drake

    We belived that it was probably a fox. There were lots seen around camp. It is also interesting how a small group cut off from civilization for an extended period of time will find inventive ways to justify the huge consumption of alcohol... Steve

    The Viking Funeral of Jake The Drake

    That is a great idea. I wish we would have thought of it. A carboard sword wrapped in aluminum foil placed on his chest would have been great. Steve

    Is it possible for a rifle to be more accurate at distance than 100 yards?

    All of the physics are real.... Their effect is minute, but still true... A properly stabilized bullet will settle into a small cone of variation over time... While better optics will increase the accuracy, they have no effect on the bullet and that is how I interpreted the question. Fats are...

    Is it possible for a rifle to be more accurate at distance than 100 yards?

    There are a lot more forces at work... MASS FORCES Gravity Coriolis Force Centrifugal force AERODYNAMIC FORCES Drag Lift (Cross Wind Force) Magnus Transverse Magnus Pitch Damping (What makes the cone of accuracy shrink as distance increases) So yes, a properly stabilized bullet will...
