    Surviving USMC Survival School

    This is a 5 part article I wrote for a Survival Blog contest. There's no voting or anything, so I'm not looking for that. I'm just sharing an experience. I suppose I should give a disclaimer. Once I submitted this, the copy-right went to Survival Blog. It's not something I can cut and paste...

    .56-56 or .56-50 in Spencer Repeating Carbine?

    Let's say you needed to kill something rather large and thick skinned. You've a Spencer Repeating Carbine, which round would be more ideal to the task? This is research for a novel btw. The main characters Winchester Model 73 is destroyed, his back up is this rifle. From what my research...

    Proving a rifle fired out of battery?

    I had a 'unnamed' steel ammo case rupture and blow out the magazine of my SA58 FAL. Said unnamed steel ammo manufacturer, upon receiving pictures and the casing, wanted to know if headspace was good or if the rifle fired out of battery. Headspace has been checked and is good. Is it possible...

    Optimum .308 barrel length for a bolt gun.

    I'm having a mauser rechambered in .308. I need to decide on the barrel length. Using a McGrowen barrel, #5 contour. 1:10 twist(for heavier bullets - okay I'm not entirely sold on the 1:10 over the 1:12). I believe max length is 26 inches. So, I'm guess what I'm asking is what is the...

    What do YOU want in your local gun store?

    Folks, I'm beginning to seriously look into opening a gun store. It's a long stretch, and I'm not entirely sure it's feasible yet. But I'm bouncing ideas around, and looking into the financing. The town is ripe for a good gun store, there was an extremely profitable one that closed down...

    M48 stock with a #7 Contour barrel.

    I looked around at Sporters Express but can't seem to find a new m48 stock that will fit a #7 Contour barrel. Everything I've seen so far has been a #1 contour. So my question is, do I have to take a #1 contour and trim it out to fit a #7? Is that possible, is there enough wood to the stock...

    How can people be so incredibly stupid?

    There are times, where you encounter people who come across as so dense you just want to backhand them. Take my sister for example. We grew up very conservative and started shooting around 6/8 years old. (She's 2 years older than me.) She major'd in some sort of music/drama crap, than...

    Ruger 10/22 trigger guard moves side to side.

    I disassembled my 10/22, cleaned it, than put it back together. Now, my trigger guard can be moved from left to right a good bit. When I put the mag in, it tightens up some, but still wiggles. (Enough to play hell with accuracy) I looked at the Midway Schematic but I can't seem to find...

    Peanut Butter and Ka-Bars... or 'The Ends Justify The Means'.

    Well...This started as a small and simple story. But you folks seemed to like it and I thought I could do it better if I put some effort in it. (Instead of spitting it out in an hour or so). It ended up with some length to it. And I'll keep adding to it until the story has run it's course...

    Looking for a Mauser barrel in .308. Need some help.

    I've a M48 that I'm rebarreling into .308. From what I understand, a 98 Mauser barrel will work on it(the M48 is simply an 'intermediate action' and identical to a 93 except the mag well/bolt throw is a little shorter.). I've found this barrel at midway...

    Short Story(s) testing.

    Thanks to Oleg for allowing me to post this. Along with the comment of 'I like it very much'. Look folks, I don't write. I've never been real good with writing and such. My first college English class I failed two times. Granted, my attendance was abysmal the first time. And the second...

    I just got back from the Classic Gun and Knife show in Winston-Salem, NC. Yugo 24/47's selling for $265 - in good to poor condition.(We're talking rust on the bolt and action).... Wideners has them for $119 in VG condition. K31's selling for $365 - also in poor condition. Typically sell for...

    8mm mauser Ballistics?

    I can't seem to find anything on the net regarding the ballistics of 8mm mauser... I'm mainly interested in finding a rough trajectory chart to start figuring out hold overs and such on. (As my mauser starts at 200meters).
