    Lee Enfield Vertical Stringing

    I have a Savage-made Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk I FTR '49 that is giving me major vertical stringing issues. My ten shot groups are about 14" tall and 6" wide at 200 m. I really want to get this fixed. I have lots of good gunsmiths nearby, but I'm not sure if they know Enfields. Should I have it...

    Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine Questions

    1) Have you noticed that the rear sight graduations are wrong? If it is dead on at 100 meters on the 100 meter setting, then it is low at 200 meters on the 200 meter setting. For 200 meters the 300 meter setting matches POI/POA. I'm shooting 150 gr Prvi Partisan, so almost exactly the original...

    Securing Guns

    Can we just have a general discussions about this? Is a gun safe an absolute necessity? Or do some of you have simple rooms with re-inforced doors? Or maybe you hide them? Would you keep a rifle in a closet unlocked at home?

    What would you say if...

    I made my M1A Standard into a clone of the gun Randy Shughart's character uses in the movie Black Hawk Down? Here's what I have so far: M1A Standard with unpainted synthetic stock and handguard, a few accuracy modifications that don't affect appearance or weight, a tan M1907 sling, and an...

    What effect does civilian gun ownership have on military capability?

    Edit: By "military" I mean the professional military. This is not to be confused with the unorganized militia. I think it is beneficial for two main reasons. -Small arms are developed in the private sector and these can be used by the military. The best example of this that I can think of...

    Tell me how you carry rifle magazines and why?

    I think it's just silly to own a rifle like an AR-15 or PTR91 if you have no way to carry magazines...I was ridiculed at Glock Talk for asking this question, so I hope that does not happen here. They told me I need a pouch for my tinfoil hat.:rolleyes: Anyways, tell us how you carry rifle...

    So I was planning to "break-in" my M1A Standard's bore...

    And I've decided I'm not going to. Now, I imagine that if before every shot I washed the bore with powder solvent, then brushed it, then powder solvented it again, then dry patched it, then used copper remover followed by powder solvent, my gun would shoot accurately for a long period of time...

    Physics Questions

    First. Say you have a 1x Eotech and a 3x magnifier. You put the magnifier behind the Eotech and it will make the dot appear to be 3moa relative to the target. But what if you could get a longer eye relief magnifier and put it IN FRONT of the Eotech? Would the Eotech's dot then appear to be...

    Tell me about being a Range Safety Officer

    The range I go to is never very busy but there always seems to be idiots there violating as many gun safety rules as possible. I don't have anything to do for 3 months this summer so I was thinking about sending them an email asking if I could volunteer as a range safety officer. Currently they...
