    I am seriously having a VERY Hard time getting the ejector with spring to go in without it popping out and flying all over the place. I read a guide on the net that shows pics of the author using the service tool included with the rifle. He explains that you can hold the ejector with spring...

    winchester model 12 combat, bayonet adapter flew off!

    So we were shooting the model 12 at the shotgun range using regular #7 loads when I saw the heatshield/bayonet combo fly off the end of the barrel! The barrel has the grooves to hold the adapter in place, and we put it back on and tightened the adapter as best we could, but it started to come...

    Q: Does twist rate affect velocity?

    I was just thinking how twist rate may apply to bullet velocity. Would say a 20 inch barrel with 1 turn per 9 inches be less of a velocity compared with the same cartridge/bullet in a barrel that has 1 turn in 7 inches? Or is it not really noticable at all, as in <20fps? Just curious...

    How to use the most basic of sights, the leaf spring sight..

    lmao, please forgive me, but when it comes to sights, I just get plain confused. Do I want the rear leaf spring sight higher for closer distances, or higher for farther distances. There are about 5-6 notches that gradually bring the sight up, what would be best for what distance? sigh..

    what would you consider the 4 most popular pistol/rifle calibers?

    used today in north america. You can only name 4 of each type for each action, pistol and rifle. To keep things a bit more narrow here, if the cartridge was designed for a rifle, its a rifle cartridge even though its used in a pistol. For example, .22LR for a handgun would not be...

    Looking at mosin, would like a recommendation out of these choices..

    Hey There are a few mosins available up here that have sparked my interest, but I'm not sure which one to go with. I would like something that was used in any of the world wars, or earlier, but I'm not sure of their origins or quality, if its post war then so be it. The descriptions of the...

    Springfield M1A's, USGI parts not specified on website

    I remember reading the facts on springers on their own website a couple years back about how they use all USGI parts except for barrels and recievers. the recievers are cast, and although that may be a weak point for some, the rest of the parts are top notch USGI quality. However, checking...
