"Maybe he's a gunsmith. Hard to work on them otherwise. (Or test fire them either before or after working on them.)" All of the gunsmiths I know use snap caps, action proving dummies, or homemade dummies to test an action.

I still don't get why the heck you were chambering a live round inside a gun store in a weapon you don't own/maintain!!!!!!! If I were the owner you wouldn't be working there anymore.

see www.russian-mosin-nagant.com for complete takedown instructions. I wouldn't take the bayonet off when shooting if I were you. That gun was designed to be fired with the bayonet attached (and extended as a matter of fact).

Umm why ask for pistol in rifle country?

There's a pdf here that you probably want to save to your local computer: http://www.ar15.com/content/manuals/TM9-1005-319-23.pdf it's got all the info you need for stock removal... plus a whole lot more.

I kinda like texlurch's definition of a good shtf gun. I love shooting my M1A but I've got other weapons I'd reach for first...

Looks to me like it fits the bill based on your wish list. I have two Bushmasters and I enjoy them both. I've never had a problem with either. One's a high power competition type 20 incher and the other is a shorty with a 16 inch barrel (but otherwise spec'd like the one you posted). I...

My current "wish" list; Springfield 1903 with a C stock An M1 rifle A CMP M1 barreled action A CMP M1 carbine A Tubbs T2K in 6mm

If you're really serious about an electronic ignition, don't stop at an electronically actuated firing pin. Use an electrically sensitive primer and use a small current flow to set off the firing sequence. Firing pin movement would be reduced ( and possibly eliminated ) and springs would only...

rockstar said: "The silliness about sight radius is a lost point given that ninety out of ninety one model 700's don't have sights on them anymore." That's comparing apples and oranges rockstar. All 700s (with the small exception of those sold as sniper rifles) are for hunting. The...

IMO - i agree with cybert. He said he wouldn't shoot to protect property but he would err on the side of personal safety. I agree with that.

some good points made above - but one of the main reasons is sight radius. You don't get as much sight radius with the average bullpup as you do with a more conventional design. Of course, this particular preference might be changing as reliable electronic sights become more and more...

I can suggest two books The AR-15 Complete Owner's Guide ISBN 1-888722-10-X Excellent overview of the rifle in all it's forms. It's actually structured so that it describes various configurations of the AR-15 and what they're best at... IPSC style competition, varmint hunting, NRA...

Clark - I disagree and I think recoilrob did a fairly good explanation of why. CUP is a pressure vs time expression whereas peak psi is a momentary measurement. When you measure pressure then conversions are pretty simple; x PSI = y bar etc. It's a very linear relationship. When time...

For those who complain about the 5.56mm round I gotta say that the amount of ammo you can carry, and the effective recoil you can compensate for are both big arguments in favor of the M16/M4 platform. Those that point out that the M-14 is making a comeback have more of a point about current...

Thank you Guy. Yes, I think it would be hard on the club. I have to admit I'm more than a bit interested in the "wound to the head" and cleaning portions of the short announcement. While it seems a little odd at first glance I'm hoping details might help others be safer.

My condolences on his loss - it sounds truely tragic. Guy - are there any further details? I'm assuming the short report was written by a non-gun person.

"Quote: Practice that's useful includes human torso targets at ranges you expect to use your handgun for self defense. Place them full front, shoot at them standing, prone, simulated fallen, etc, until you're sure you can put the bullets in target. Then place them at an angle so you're...

tcrocker - the links I posted show some of the most common highpower match rifle sights. The first one works on flat tops. You could also look at Lyman sights. If you wanted to reduce the price a little I think the sights on the DPMS race gun are a little cheaper... might want to check...

After reading all the responses I'll say again: center mass in a life or death situation you are not going to be thinking about a thoracic cavity or heart valve or even about severing the spinal cord. You're going to be thinking about stopping that guy/girl/whatever from getting to...
