Mods, please move if in the wrong place. I took my budget PR build to the range today to sight in some 168gr loads out to 400yds. It started life as a Savage Scout in 308. The only thing left is the action. Criterion 18" 1-10 barrel with a comp, Boyds stock/barrle/lug bedded, bottom metal with...

Using Post 9/11 GI Bill for Firearms Training There are only a few training facilities around the country that are VA approved so you need to check in advance with the facility and the VA. The Sig Sauer Academy currently has 10 courses that are VA approved. Here is what I learned about...

I started using the MGI Buffer a few weeks ago in my 3 GUN AR. The recoil is significantly reduced compared to a standard rifle buffer. I made this video showing me shooting with the MGI buffer installed. I noticed MGI had a contest going to win a rifle so I made this video. If you like my...

Blackwater Proshop at former E&B range in Salem CT What used to be E&B Sporting Goods in Salem CT was recently purchased by E&J Holdings LLC/Blackwater/U.S Training Center. They have been doing some work on the property/range but it is not open yet. Some articles on the net say Blackwater...

Check out this video of the Pakistan gun market, about mid way through there is some footage of reloading, what I think are 7.62x39, with a hammer. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/01/26/vbs.gun.markets.pakistan/index.html?hpt=C1

I find it interesting that there is such a wide difference of opinion on weather firearm modifications by untrained people, me, are a good idea or not. By modifications I don’t mean clamping a gizmo on a rail. By modification I mean changes, modifications, building the internals of a firearm...

I watched the show; mall ninjas will be crazy about this one. The former seal guy and the writers did their research on this one and it demonstrates many sound tactics. It has confirmed my thoughts about carrying a hi-cap 9mm over a single stack or mouse gun whenever possible. For self...

How hard is it to become a "certified" instructor for the Utah permit? I took the class and have the CCW permit and am a certified NRA basic pistol instructor. The instructor giving the class made us think that Utah CCW instructors were as rare as hen’s teeth. Just wondering.

I am looking at the replacement sight options for a Para 1911 GI. I emailed Para for information and received this response. _______________________ Novak front: .250X.185 @ 20 degrees / Rear .375 @ 30 degrees ________________________ I am assuming: Front: .250 is the max width...

I have been buying SP primers a thousand at a time (their limit) from Hoffman's Guns in CT. They usually keep them behind the counter and never have more then a few boxes if any. Last night they had them (CCI) out on the shelves, maybe 20-30 boxes. Still had the 1 box limit. It seems like...

Please forgive me if this has been answered before. I reload 9mm and several others. Using OAL seems very inaccurate when seating depth or final case volume would seem to be the true measurement needed. For instance I would guess that 124gr JHP from different manufacturers when seated to get...

Katie Couric will be interviewing Attorney General Eric Holder tonight on the CBS evening news. I understand she will ask him about “gun control” in light of the recent shootings. I wonder how this will fit in with Nancy Pelosi’s compromise on the AWB. I think the most telling indication of...

My New Year's resolution is to "SPEAK UP!" I think the reason our country is in the condition it is, is because we, the hard working, law abiding people, don't speak up when things are not right! Speak up! When someone else in being done wrong, treated poorly and most importantly when a...

Hello all, I have been struggling to find good reliable Mini-30 mags since about 1988 when I got my mini-30. Well I finally made my own from some old 30 rd USA mags and some parts form a stock Ruger mag and I thought I would share what I learned. There are several problems with the USA...

Went into East Hartford, CT Cabelas yesterday. A sign on the front door said in effect "weapons/firearms must be presented to the front desk" CCW holders exempt. The CCW exempt part looked like it was added at a late time. Does anyone know if this is a national thing or just my local store...
