    Springfield M1a first time out

    Hi all, So I picked up my new M1a Standard on Wednesday. Always wanted one and it was beautiful right out of the box. Even came with a range bag which I was not expecting. Got to my range this morning anxious to sight it in on the 100 yard line (irons) So I adjust the elevation knob up 8...

    Went looking for .303 Brit came out with this

    Century Arms Zastava PAP M70. Being my first AK style rifle, I have no comparison but I've gotta say I'm really happy with it. Mags fit nice and snug. Not one feeding issue. I was surprised at the accuracy. I was hitting my little six inch steel spinny target at will from about 40-50 yards...

    Garand ejection question

    Hi all, maybe it's nothing but I noticed this at the range today. I'm shooting CMP ball ammo. I'm noticing that my rifle is ejecting the brass forward rather than to the right. Everything operated just fine and I had no issues. Just hoping there isn't some potential problem lurking under...

It had been sporterized and I put it back as a labor of...

    Where did you learn your cleaning methods?

    I've recently started using a high temperature bearing grease as a lubricant. It started with my newly acquired Garand and I liked the butter-slick results so much I greased the lugs and channels on my SMLE. Same result. Moved on to one of my 1911s and darn it if it just doesn't feel so slick...

    Greek M1 Garand followed me home

    Came into an unexpected cash gift from my employer for ten years of service and I decided to put it towards a new rifle project. Me and the kids hit up 4 LGS in the DFW area looking for something to take up. Most interesting thing I found were a rack of K-31s which I have on the list but pretty...
