58. Caliber Zouave percussion cap. My dad was a black powder guy. I was six years old and the rifle was longer than I was. The target was a rock at the end of the range. I hit the rock, in a great cloud of smoke and noise, but the recoil caused the back of my thumb to hit my nose and bloody...

Signed. Keep fighting.

Just before this current ammo price madness, (5yrs or so) I could get Blazer .22 for $7.99 a brick of 500 on sale. Probably a loss leader for the store, but a smokin' deal. This was for CCI Blazer. I havn't seen any real quantities of .22 on the shelf out here in Ca for about 3 years. What...

Thanks Eastbank. Pretty much what I figured. I just picked up two boxes of Winchester x-tra lite target loads. I figure that's a good place to start until powder becomes available and I can load my own. Moderate pressure loads and have some respect for their age.

Ouch! Bet you can still tell when there is a change in the weather.

I just picked up an old Remington shotgun that I am pretty sure is a turn of the century model 1900. It is pretty plain , with no engraving, but in really nice shape for a working mans shotgun. It has fluid steel barrels (Remington steel, probably) and the serial number begins with a Q and is...

I would.:). The AR 10 style rifle opens up all kinds of caliber possibility,

Ar10 platforms.

AB 48 is out of committee here in California. It would, among other things, prohibit the sale or transfer of ammo by anyone who isn't a licensed firearms dealer. It would prohibit any store from selling ammo that does not also sell firearms. Out here that would be places like Wal-Mart and...

Backstory please.

Minor imperfections are amplified with distance. This can apply to mechanical things such as an inconsistant load as well as shooter factors such as trigger control and breathing. The ability to shoot .5 inch groups at 100 yards does not transalate to for sure 1 inch groups at 200. This is...

First Mosin I've seen that appealed to me. It's still a Mosin, though.

Jim Watsons' comments are on the money. You really have to determine what the rifle will be used for. I have 2 rifles with 20x SS scopes on them that are used for bench amd some prone field shooting, but I would not pick them for hunting. They have decent glass (for the price) and are very...

I was also going to say it looks like the inside of a Berdan primer.

Maybe when you graduated sniper school he had to face something about you that he was unwilling to accept, that you could put the crosshairs on a live human being, and squeeze the trigger. Serious business and not everyone can handle that reality.

I am a Savage fan, and shoot some fairly good groups with my .308 Varmint rifle. However, there is nothing like full sponsorship to bring out the best in any team. It takes a lot of the peripheral pressure off. It allows for more practice, more range time, more ammo. Are there any other...

I wanted to shoot this match, but decent.22 ammo is hard to find right now. All that I have on hand is CCI Blazer, which is ok for plinking, but really is mediocre for accuracy in my rifle. Anyone know of a source for Federal Automatch?

An export license would be required to ship from the U.S., but I'm not sure how that would affect a German company. Maybe you should contact them for an explanation

Do a search on John R. Chapman for info on early scopes.

O.K. Will do. Thanks.
