Has the South Carolina plant closed? I have three M70s, a Sporter in 30-06, a Featherweight in 7mm-08 and an Extreme Weather SS in 308. The Sporter has Made in USA on the barrel, the FW says Made in USA, assembled in Portugal and the EW says Made in Portugal. Order of acquisition was Sporter...

I'm in the market for a new 25-06 rifle. The two I'm looking at are the Browning X-Bolt Stainless Stalker and the Tikka T3 Lite. Primary use will be target shooting from 100 - 600 yards and perhaps Whitetail deer hunting. I do intend to reload for this rifle. All opinions are welcome but...

In light of Remington's recall of their X-Mark Pro trigger I've decided to switch my three 700s to Timney triggers. Every one appears to be sold out of the standard curved trigger but MidwayUSA has the flat ones in stock...

Which bullet weights give you all the best accuracy out of your 30-06 rifles. I just bought a Remington 700 SPS in this caliber along with a boxes of 150, 165 and 180 grain bullets. I want to see what shoots best in my new rifle and I'm curious what others are getting. Right now the rifle is...

I just read a provision in Feinstein's new AWB that would ban the sale, manufacture, importation and transfer of: "Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can except more than 10 rounds;" If I'm reading that correctly my Marlin 60 with it's 14 round fixed tube magazine...

My latest acquisition is a Ruger M77 MkII in 7mm Rem. Magnum. I plan to reload for it. What is your favorite powder for 7mm RM?

I recently bought a box of Cast Performance WFNGC .44 cal 300gr bullets with the intention of trying them in my Marlin 1894 SS. It occurred to me that I might try them in one of S&W 629s. My question is: Are these heavy bullets safe to use in a Smith & Wesson revolver? I plan to load...

What do you prefer in .22 handguns, DA revolver, SA revolver or semi-auto?

I recently acquired a Ruger Blackhawk Bisley .45 Colt that has a problem I've never seen on a Ruger single action before. The base pin slides forward under recoil, so the hammer can't be cocked without reaching forward and pushing it back in. I have other Ruger single actions in .45, .44 and...

I'm planning to upgrade the sights on my 1894SS. The choice is between these two sights: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=920514 http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=799753 Which one do you all recommend? Thanks. Tex

My cousin sent this to me via email. I thought worthy of sharing. Why I Carry a Gun PEOPLE ASK WHY?? My old grandpa said to me son,' there comes a time in every mans life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass...

I just started reloading for my .44 mag revolver and Marlin 1894 carbine. I also have a bunch of Hornady XTPs 240gr and Winchester 240gr JSPs. What powders are your favorites for jacketed bullets? I'm looking for plinking loads and full house boomers. Thanks, Tex

I have loaded .357 Magnum with Unique, Titegoup and HS-6. Now I wish to go above and beyond that. Can you all reccomend a good magnum powder? Please refer to the poll for the choices. Thanks. Tex Edit - That first choice should say W296.

I am looking to buy an Aimpoint red dot for my M4 and I've noticed they come with a choice of two dot sizes, 2 MOA and 4 MOA. Which do you all think would be better for all round use? Target, plinking, home defense and possible SHTF scenario. Tex

I have recently become interested in military surplus rifles and I thought a poll on the best iron sight for the main battle rifle would be interesting. This question concerns such classics as the M1 Garand, M1903, M1917, Lee-Enfield, K98 Mauser, Mosin-Nagant and similar. Tex

How do you all clean up after shooting a milsurp with corrosive ammo? I recently purchased a Mosin-Nagant M44 and a Yugo M24 Mauser. Recently I have discovered that eastern European surplus ammo is extremely cheap (.09 - .11 cents/round) but is corrosive. What is the best way to clean a milsurp...

I bought a bottle of this stuff a couple of days ago and I used a few drops to lube my Colt King Cobra. What struck me about it was it has the color and consistancy of motor oil, but not the smell. Additives would be my guess. Perhaps the guys who use Mobil 1 know what they're doing. Anyone...

If Brady II becomes law and further restrictions are also enacted. What would become of your firearms? Tex

I own two HK USP pistols, a 9mm full size and a 9mm compact. I like both guns, the grips fit my hand well and they're both accurate. The problem I have is both guns throw brass straight back into my face and occasionally stovepipe. I am pretty sure it isn't me(limp-wristing), I have a variety of...
