I've been thinking of buying a .22 LR pistol or a BB/Pellet pistol to keep in practice while conserving my supply of larger caliber ammo. I have a decent supply (abt 5K rounds) of .22 LR which I don't regularly shoot. Any thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of these options? My...

I'd like to buy a Browning Hi-Power, but my budget requires I keep the cost under $1000. I have heard good things about the Regent BR9 clone and also the (mostly) Israeli surplus BHPs. This would mostly be a range gun with a fairly low round count, but I might consider it for winter EDC under...

From the petition: "This month, President Trump took a bolder Gun Control step than Obama ever did. Why Does the Bump Stock Ban matter? As famous shooter Rob Pincus would say: “There are many reasons to fight a bump stock ban… but, Bump Stocks themselves are not one of them!” The underlying...

I volunteer as a safety officer at a local public shooting range. Our safety procedures call for actions to be open (or chamber flag in place) during cease fire when people go down range to post targets. Some of the civilian AR and AK shooters tell me that they are unable to lock the bolt to...

I reported in this forum earlier on a problem I was experiencing with my CMP M1 Garand. The rifle occasionally fired double. I replaced the trigger sear group but continued to have the problem. When I run a function check with the trigger group removed, the trigger group functions normally...

I mistakenly ordered Missouri Bullet 125 gr cowboy action bullets (Brinell 12)from Grafs for my GP-100. I normally stick with light target loads - 16,900 CUP for .38s and 18800 CUP for .357s. According to the technical page on the Missouri Bullet website, the optimum hardness for these loads...

Recently my M1 Garand has "doubled" on a couple of occasions. At first I thought it was due to milking the trigger resulting in a bump fire. Now I believe it is a mechanical problem. When I function check the weapon by squeezing and holding the trigger, cycling the action then releasing and...

I will probably have $600 to $1200 to spend on another gun purchase this fall (meager bonus from employer). I already have the following: Ruger GP-100 Remington 1100 M1 Garand My needs at the moment are limited to recreational shooting and I shoot all three on a fairly regular basis. I'm...

I purchased my first M1 today at the CMP North Store. The significance of the purchase did not sink in until later at my hotel when I was disassembling and assembling the weapon. The rifle was a SA Field Grade SN 187XXXX (August '43). My son switched to the History Channel where they were...

My wife has finally given me the go ahead to purchase a Garand! We're planning a trip to the North Store from St Louis over Memorial Day weekend (yes the store is open). I'm hoping to find a decent Field Grade as I have heard that Service Grades are scarce. As long as it's a shooter I'll be...

I'm new at reloading and recently made a mistake reloading 38spl to be fired from my .357 magnum (GP100). Since the only primers I can find are small pistol magnum, I'm sticking to starting loads. The data called for a starting load of 3.7 gr of IMR 700-X for a 125gr lead FP. I had used...
