Today I went to a gun show we visit periodically. Despite the laughably high prices for guns and ammo, it's an excuse to meet my cousin for lunch. I wasn't planning on buying anything today, until I stumbled on two Remington and Springfield 1903s next to each other. They both appeared to...

Yesterday I wandered into one of my local stores to look at Sigs :) but instead ended up looking at a Henry in 38/357. I had never held one before and was very impressed with the quality of construction - it's beautiful! The weight of the rifle does get your attention, as does the price tage...

Yesterday I was in my LGS and a fellow was asking for M1A ammo. The clerk brought out a box of American Eagle 7.62x51 which has a picture of the M1A and says "For M1A Use". He was pleased it had a picture of his rifle on the box. Then the clerk told him that he shouldn't use .308 in an M1A...

I apologize if thie is in the wrong forum. The hypocrisy of Hollywood celebrities is remarkable. :banghead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrJjlPH1dqo

I picked up this SP101 in .357 about ten days ago after a long wait for it arrive at my LGS. It was purchased mostly for range use by my wife so I added the pearl grip inserts from Altamont. I hope she gives me a chance to shoot it too. It feels great. :D

Today we took my new-to-me 1.7M serial number 1943 CMP Garand out to the range. Right out of the gate, both my cousin and I shot well with it. On one clip only 3 shots it, the clip and ammo shot out in a loose mess. We tried another clip and it was fine. We shot about 10 or 12 clips and...

Yesterday we went on a tour of the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. If you are ever in the Springfield, MA area, this is a must see for anyone with an interest in firearms or American history. Personally, I was like an 8 year old arriving at an amusement park. :) Among the...

With the price of ammo I've been shooting a lot of what is sold as Berdan primed surplus ammo. I also shoot boxer whenever possible. I save all my brass, even though I don't reload yet. Is there an easy way to tell if ammo is boxer or berdan? Is it possible to reload berdan brass or am I...

I already own an M1A and a Range Officer, so I'm completely sold on Springfield firearms. The first time I saw an ad for the SA EMP line I was really interested in something smaller that my wife might be comfortable with. As it turns out, my LGS had a Micro Loaded Lightweight Operator (with...

I must be an idiot! :banghead: I must have done something really stupid when reassembling BOTH! my Mini-14 and Mini Thirty because the bolt is locked fully forward and the slide handle doesn't move. The safety won't move either. :eek: Has anyone ever encountered this? Is there a way to...

My Colt Gold Cup 1911 comes with 2 springs - one green for semi-wadcutter and another not colored, for heavier loads. The green spring came installed, but I plan on shooting 230 Gr. FMJ loads. Should I install the non-colored spriing?

Does anyone go to the NRA annual meetings? I'm looking forward to trolling the exhibitors and checking out the goodies. :cool:

Has anyone tried the 7.62 x 39 Yugo ammo from Classic Arms in a Ruger Mini-Thirty? http://www.classicarms.us/ammunition.htm My Thirty won't shoot the Wolf steel case ammo - period. I'm wondering if this Yugo brass with the Berdan primers will work in the Mini-Thirty? :confused: The...

I just picked up an ammo can of Radway Green linked 308 for my M1A. Is there an easy and painless way to remove the rounds from the links without damaging the brass or my fingers? :confused:

I've started looking for a short-barrel, pistol grip 12 gauge for home defense. I'm familiar with the Mossberg 500s but not the Remingtons. Can you make any recommendations either way, or is there another option I should consider? I'd like it to be simple & reliable, and under $350 or...

I just picked up some Privi Partizan 7.62 x 39 SPRN ammo for my Mini-Thirty. Compared to FMJ, is there any difference in performance?

Can anyone recommend an Aimpoint (or other sight) for the forward rail on an M1A Scout Squad?

We've never been to an NRA annual meeting and are planning to go to Pittsburgh in 2011. Who has been to an NRA convention and what can we expect at the event?
