    Did I see a Scope on a German Machine Gun?

    I could have sworn I saw a German Machine Gunner with a Scope on his gun. I was watching the History Channel last week and I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating. Did they put scopes on them or just tubular Iron sights?

    Is Reblueing only a Cosmetic thing?

    I kind of like the fact My Colt is pretty rugged looking but I wasn't sure if Reblueing did anything else other than cover up the wear and tear? Does it do anything else besides make it look New?

    Anyone Know where I can get a PeriScope?

    I saw them in a Surplus magazine a few years ago and I wish I would have gotten one. They are the little Mirror things The Military used for Trench Warfare. I saw surplus ones for Modern Military forces for like $20. I'd like to find one for Playing Paintball.

    Do you really Need Solvents to clean your guns?

    If you clean your guns the same day you've shot them, why do you need Solvents? This subject has been covered a few times about these Chemicals. I'm just wondering if you really need to use them EVERY time you clean your gun. I've noticed that an cloth patch soaked in oil cleans off grit and...

    30/06 from a Bolt Action to an M1 Garand?

    I've got a decent amount of 30/06 loads laying around and I'm not sure if they are all too hot for a Garand. My hottest loads are 150gr at around 3000fps. Too hot? I bet it is but how about My 180gr at 2600fps? Do I dare use loads like this?

    How do Rifle Stock Designs Affect accuracy?

    I've often wondered why the M1 Garand and the Enfield Rifles were shrouded with so much wood. Why is that? Doesn't a rifle cool down faster when it is exposed and not contained? I've read a few posts lately that mentioned Glass Bedding a rifle barrel. What is that?
