    Swastika/Eagle Mark on Mauser

    Is this mark on the barrel, thus gone with a change of a barrel, or on the receiver? Thanks

    What exact spot do you aim for on large mammals, four legged?

    I always verbalize/visualize my shot as I'm setting up. I see the shoulder bones, imagine one "fist width" distance back from that, about 4", and a little bit low. Usually turns the heart into pudding, once or twice a good "skin stop" with bullets that expand. How do y'all "think" it through...

    Colo. Springs Police may sell seized firearms

    http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-gun-sales23-2009aug23,0,4831409.story WOW! That'd be FANTASTIC! Of course, not much need for more Hi-Point or Raven Arm's firearms, but I'm sure they get the occassional decent weapon. Not to mention the fact that it's absurd for...

    A friend's ND into the basement wall

    Just got a call from a friend of mine, typing this up as he tells me. So, I feel for the guy and I appreciate his honesty. Of course, I'd have seen the hole anyway so he'd eventually have to 'fess up ;-) I do all of those things he says, leaving the sidearm with the slide locked...

    Which "older" military action would be a good platform for a .30-.'06 pseudo-Scout

    I'm seriously thinking about making a "pseudo scout" from some old military action. I think that ideally I'd go with the M1903 as it's already in the right caliber, but I'm wondering if anyone would suggest some advantage in using a Mauser, a Lee-Enfield or even perhaps a Mosin action to...

    Garand Bullets

    I'm trying to decide which specific bullets I'd like to use for Dorothy, my 1943 SA M1. As much as I like the devastating effects of the Partitions or other expanding bullets, I'm concerned that I'm losing "punching power" and penetration from FMJ/BT's. My main use for this rifle could best be...

    Help me find my "Ideal Gun State"

    I enjoy living out in the Western states, but sometimes I crave having a beach and those types of communities nearby. My current state of residence is very gun-friendly, I live in Pa. I can OC or CC in damn near any place that isn't federally prohibited. I wouldn't like to live in a state...

    K98k To .30-'06

    I'm considering building the Mauser K98k into a scout rifle. As I'm a poor man, I appreciate caliber commonality. How do I go about converting the K98 into a thirty-ought? I want the work done by a professional gunsmith, of course, I'm just curious if it's been done successfully before. Thanks

    What does "Shall not be infringed" mean to YOU?

    I personally think that having a "permit" to exercise a right is absurd. I don't need a permit to attend church. If the police come to my door and want to arbitrarily search my house, I don't have to have my "permit" to deny them to do so. In my ideal world, I could walk into the hardware...

    Pistol Reloading

    I've heard so much about reloading for sidearms that I'm a bit nervous and perplexed. Some tell me that it'll blow your gun apart like a hand grenade, others tell me they've been doing it for decades with nothing going wrong. What's the general concenseus? FWIW, I'll be loading the .357SIG...

    First time loading, M1 Garand

    I've been saving my brass from the range with the intent of loading it. Yesterday I accessed a friends press and knowledge and loaded up about sixty rounds of thirty-ought for my M1 Garand. I used 150g Hornady FMJ/BT on top of roughly 50g (+/- 2g due to my learning curve) and CCI Benchrest...

    Ar-10 v dsa fn/fal

    I know that these "Which is better" format questions get a bit hackneyed, but I'm asking one anyway :-) I'm familiar with the M16A2 series of rifle, thanks to Uncle Sam and a particular island off the Eastern coast of the USA. I enjoy the rifle, the various addons and accessories, the...

    My SIGP229 EDC - What to do!

    Hello folks,I've been on a hiatus but I'm back. Interesting times in which we find ourselves. :-) I'm interested in doing whatever possible to my SIG to improve it's reliability and ease of use. I'll be sending it to Grays Guns for their new and improved carry package, so I'm confident...

    HR Allowing CCW on Campus' shot down in commitee, VA TECH spokesman comments

    Sorry that I don't post more, busy life! However, someone showed me this link. What even more needs to be said. http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/wb/xp-50658 Looks like their violence prevention policy worked well. I bet that if this guy had read it, he certainly wouldn't have...
