I've always believed that the M11 was just a bullet hose with no practical use, maybe one step above a Tec-9. I got to fire one(semi) last weekend and I have to admit I walked away rather impressed. Jug put out at 20-25 yds. and I nailed it the first shot. Okay, that was a fluke. Hit the jug...

I was loading with some ABT and BHA Match brass the other night and was surprised to find the rim diameter on the BHA brass was so small that it wouldn't even lock in my Forstner trimmer. It measured around.465, whereas the ABT brass was fine but only measured .470. The specs in the Sierra...

My uncle just gifted me a Norinco .45 1911. The pistol is in excellent condition and is a very good shooter. It also comes with a .400 Corbon barrel and 100 rds of .400. Any of you have any experience with the Norinco .45's? Besides being too expensive, how effective is the .400 Corbon round?

Okay, I think it's been about a year since I initially purchased my NFA polymer lower and placed it in use. There were all the horror stories being circulated at the time about the durability. They have been proven false so far. In keeping with the lightweight factor, I decided to use the...

I have a chance to pick up a Para P14 in very nice condition with Wolff mainspring and an excellent trigger job. The pistol was manufactured in 2005. What is the going price for one in very good-excellent condition?

Saw the 5.7(.224) 32gr. bullets for sale and am interested, but there is no reloading data available. I am wondering if the bullets will hold together at velocities above 3600fps out of a 1/9 barrel. How far down must I take the velocity to get them to stabilize out of a 1/7 14.5" barrel. Can...

Upon opening up this scope I was solidly impressed by the appearance, clean and to the point. Finish is very nice and the feel is very solid. There is really a lot to like about this optic, and the features are usually found on scopes costing quite a bit more. The exposed turret adjustments...

My first impression of this optic is the heft of the thing. It feels like a very well made optic. The scope has 121.32 inches of elevation available and each click is 1/10mil. The adjustments knobs are just a little mushy, but I believe that would get better with a little use. Power...

How many of you have tried this red-dot? I got one yesterday and it looks pretty good, but I certainly do not like the odd sized battery. I fixed that problem in short order. I used a CR 2032, a piece of plastic, and a nickle and the thing worked perfectly. I took an adequately thick piece...

A year or so ago I was given around 400 .223 blanks. I fired off a few of them and tossed them into the recycle bin. With the scarcity of components these days, I decided to see about reloading them. I opened the crimp up just enough to allow the expander ball to open up the neck, then...

Years ago when I bought my M1A I got the scope mount too, which I ended up not using because it shot loose. I never really looked at it seriously, just put it on and took it off after it began to wiggle, so it sat in the closet for many years. A few months ago I picked up a Horus Talon 1-4x24...

Have a chance to purchase a Norinco 1911 A1 in excellent shape for $350. Is it worth it?

Just want to wish everyone here a Happy New Year!

Due to the recent shooting, AR's are getting pretty difficult to find around here. The local gun shops are out. Prices are going to go through the roof now. My cousin in PA called and said the same thing was happening there. Seems like everyone is expecting a ban to hit. Maybe we should all...

I just picked up a Horus Talon 1000 and am thinking about putting it on my RA XCR. I like the fact that on 1, I can use it just like a red dot , and yet when I crank it out to 4, I have enough power to see smaller targets out at 300. The way I look at it I have the red dot and a magnifier...

Is it legal to tax a right, such as the right to keep and bear arms? Certainly we have seen steep rises in the taxes on our weapons and ammunition, but just because we allow the government to do it, is it legal? Certainly if you elevate taxes, then it will limit, at some point, the peoples...

[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]I've been looking for a lightweight upper for HD purposes and finally found one. A friend of mine put it together and offered it to me, and it was an offer I couldn't refuse. 14.5 lightweight 1/7 barrel with pinned YHM Phantom flashhider. Rock River upper, Low profile gas...

Put together a new AR just to hunt varmints. My aims were reasonable accuracy and as little weight as possible. Tht upper is a Delton flat top with a 20" preban contour barrel. The barrel is one of the chrome lined 1/9 ones, as they had no chrome moly ones available at the time of ordering...

My rifle had a mishap last week, it fell out of a truck onto pavement and skid for about 20 feet. Luckily, the rifle , except for a small scratch on the butt of the stock, was unharmed. The scope, however, was a different story. It took a pretty good hammering. The SF knob was ground up as...

Anyone else out there seen the Magpul Precision shooting Video? Some great stuff there. I used their method of shooting while zeroing my rifle Sunday and shot the best three shot group I ever shot, .16". The initial group to verify scope setting was .56. It really worked for me. I was...
