I have come into a quantity (200 pcs +/-) of .30 cal (30'06) ammo on M1 clips. Clips are stamped SA (Springfield Armory). The cases are headstamped TW/53. Projectiles are AP (black tips). Couple of questions: -Post WWII, (1953) but what arsenal? I've not seen a TW headstamp. -Would...

What about the number of turkey hunters in your area. I had more issues this year than in a long time avoiding, dodging and generally dealing with crowded conditions, especially on public land here. An overall jump in local and nonresident types. So much so I gave up on the Wma for the most...

I am wanting to modify the factory sights on a Rem 870 slug barrel to a sort of "express sight" configuration. I have several spare rear sight blades and can work the rear into the shape I want, basically opening up the notch and lowering or "V-ing out" the wings. What I cannot find is a...

A big believer in 12 ga, 3" #5 lead shot for spring gobblers, I've been selectively shooting up some of my smaller pellet shot shells that have been taking up space in the ammo chest, on gobblers in ideal set ups, typically with dekes and a blind, or in late season when the foliage is out...

A few years back, I bought bamaboy a Moss 835 for a turkey gun. A buddy had it and the price was right. We put on a set of fiber optic sights, experimented a bit with the chokes that came with it, and took it hunting. It never seemed to pattern quite as tight as I would like though, coming...

Last couple of days I had some down time due to some doctoring and made a loop of some LGS's and pawn shops. Yikes. Seems like everything connected to shooting...firearms, ammo, optics, accessories are priced through the roof. A box of .30 cal match slugs, near $40.00.....incredible...

I've recently put an old USA Weaver back in service. The scope has an adjustable objective. Windage and elevation is good and responsive,....clarity is acceptable....but the markings for "focus" on the AO are way off. "Focused" for me at 200 shows 75 or so on the AO ring. Other distances...

Am considering an entry level 3-gun semi-shotgun and the Stoeger 3000 has popped up on radar. Interested to hear from anybody that has experience with these guns, especially with dove type loads as used in our local outlaw matches. Have considered others (Moss 930 and a used 1100), but the...

Yes I did. Put it on the roof of my truck, got distracted...and then drove off. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth.....and a trip to the SO, ....and walking my route about a total of 6 miles....and half a dozen signs up at local corner stores....guy surfaces 4 days later and returns...

Seems like I've asked something like this before, but be patient w/ me. Can I run Heavishot t-shot thru bamaboys Mossberg 835 with say a modified tube (factory) and not damage the tube or barrel? Seems like I was advised in my Rem for a hevishot approved choke, but the Mossberg modified...

Spent the better part of two weekends this summer working up a .270/130 ballistic tip load for a pals new 24" barreled Rem 700. The load shot tight and consistently broke 3000 fps. Guy calls me last week, he'd lost a deer he'd hit, and had same experience last year as well with same combo...

Does anybody else think this is "bad manners" and more than a bit inconsiderate? Not to mention dangerous. On a piece of property I hunt, we have set out food plots on a ROW and there is an established shooting house, has been for near 2o years. At the extreme north end of the ROW, just...

Can anybody advise the substensions on a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x 40mm? What MOA the fine cross hair from middle to picket would cover. My internet search yields data on the BDC only, ....I guess I could set a target out at 100 and measure.

So,.... I've been up so many trees, I feel like a giant squirrel. Been hunting in the AM, go in to pull night shift. Repeat till I have to sleep in to be safe. On days off, hunt AM and PM. Notta.......nothing....zilch. Hunt acorns, greenery, food plots....trails to cover, trails from...

Bought a small item from LaRue Tactical in it came in recently. In addition to the item, there was a nifty little Holiday gift-trinket and some stickers, and a nice Holiday card. .....no cost. Pretty slick....and they have a new fan.

Intending to install an A2 type crush washer on a rifle some time in the future. I have the unit on hand with its washer. I notice that the washer is tapered, sort of convex/concave curvature. So....which way does the washer fit on the muzzle?

I'm wanting to put an A2(bird cage) style flash hider on my .308 hog rifle. I understand to match thread types (5/8 x 24) but to orient the slots on the unit I suppose I will need a crush washer. Does the fact that the hog rifle has a semi-heavy barrel call for the use of a crush washer...

In 1985 I bought myself a rem 870 Mag as a graduation present and to replace my heirloom savage pump. The 870 has soldiered on for over 25 years, but in recent years started exhibiting "failure to feed up" problems. Often this was after shooting a spring gobbler, and I dismissed the problem...

Well, rained out here today for bow hunting, so decided to to an impromptu AK accuracy test. The variant in question is the despised MISR, Maddi (Egyptian) receiver and a cobbled together set of Chinese parts. I've put after market stock set, trigger group and slant brake on it to make it...

I watched an episode of the Pig Man with helo/hog eradication with Ted Nugent. I felt sure that the mag fed shotgun being used would be a Saiga, but the limited glances I got, the forearm, etc, did not look right. Anybody know?
