An old cop friend of mine always says... "5% of the population causes 95% of the problems."

Read the following article by Bruce Woodford, he worked the maintenance van at Camp Perry for many years. Lots of great information on throat erosion and muzzle wear. https://www.fulton-armory.com/faqs/M14-FAQs/TEGauge.htm

I have had good luck with the cast bullets from Penn Bullets. I have not tried these 270 grain "thunderheads" but they look like they would fit your needs. Scroll down it's the 11th one listed. http://www.pennbullets.com/45/45-caliber.html At the bottom of the description there are two...

I have an old Lyman/Ohaus M5, that I picked up off of ebay for around $50.00, and then I sent it to Scott Parker for his custom tuning. It's dead on accurate and has worked great. Here is his facebook page with his contact info. https://www.facebook.com/Single-Kernel-Scales-266037570185688/...

I bought Ruger SR1911 this past spring, and have put about 500 rounds through it so far. I have been impressed to say the least, I have had no problems at all with it. Another plus is that it is very accurate, my scores in my Wed. night league have gone up quite a bit since last year...

I use that exact S&B round for deer hunting. Yes it is quite stout, it's defiantly a full power round made for the .323 bore 8mm. S type bore = .323, while older Mauser's had the R type .318 bore. The S&B 8x57 JS 196 SPCE (soft point cutting edge) at the muzzle is going 2591 (fps) and...

I just was reading through the latest issue of GUNS magazine, they had a review of a Ruger Redhawk in 45 Colt/45ACP. The jist of the review was the author had great accuracy with 45 Colt loads (factory and hand-loads) But with 45 ACP the groups size was very dependent of the type of factory...

There was a nice little video on CBS Sunday Morning about Scalia. It talked about his life as well as going into his belief in original intent or originalism as he called it. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/supreme-court-justice-antonin-scalia-dies-2/

Midway USA has it in stock. I have used this same S&B ammo for deer hunting for the past few years. It works great! http://www.midwayusa.com/product/310300/sellier-and-bellot-ammunition-8x57mm-js-mauser-8mm-mauser-196-grain-soft-point-cutted-edge-box-of-20

Yup, Did you ever notice that the rife Schultz carried on Hogan's Heroes was a Krag?

On the CMP forum there is a thread were people post when they ordered and how long it takes to ship. http://forums.thecmp.org/showthread.php?t=28081&page=1000 Currently it looks like orders are being processed in around a week. For most folks the rule of thumb for mail order is to go...

I have bought that exact 30 round magazine. I loaded it to the top with 30 rounds and it worked great no problems. I have a type two mag catch, it has an M on it. It's not underlined and their is no extra support leg.

I first looked at cricket sized rifles, and came to the conclusion they were just way too small. So I ended up buying my kids a Savage MK2 in the youth version. When they were pretty small we shot mostly off sand bags. Now that they have gotten a little bigger (and can handle the rifle...

Orion7 is known to have very good springs. http://www.m1garand.com/store/m1_carbine_recoil_spring.html I bought the complete spare kit for my Garand. Having all new springs and pins just eliminates any future problems that might occur from worn out parts.

Any good wheel bearing grease will do fine. Those tin handle flux/solder brushes work great and are cheap to boot.

Get a copy Walt Kuleck's assembly guide, it was very helpful when I was a Garand noob. http://www.amazon.com/M1-Garand-Complete-Assembly-Guide/dp/1888722134/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426997816&sr=1-11&keywords=garand I also like to buy a new spring/pin set form Orion 7. Worn-out...

A really good book to have for new M1 owners is the Complete Assembly Guide by Walt Kaleck & Clint McKee. Lots of very useful info for how to take apart and then reassemble the M1. They show many common mistakes to avoid, and how to look for worn or unsafe parts etc. It's well worth the...

A fun accessory is a stock pouch from Olongapo Outfitters. It's kind of a take-off on the m1 carbine stock pouch. I like to use the Garand sometimes for a run and gun type match that we have at the local range, and this pouch works well for that...

It looks like the .303 HXP is sold out now. I bought some HXP in 30.06 & .303 from them this past October. The 30.06 sold out in a few days back then. Earlier this month they got more HXP 30.06 in stock. (they still have the linked stuff)...

I can't tell from their pictures, none of the head-stamp. I looks like the ammo can in the background is for 7.62 rounds. You just might have to contact them. Not sure how you feel on Cheaper than Dirt, but they have had HXP .303 for a while. It's a better price than what Midway is...
