HMG is bringing a "working man's" reproduction of the MP-43/StG-44to the market. They have made some improvements and simplified the design some; but at heart it remains a faithful copy and not just a clamshell look-alike. Unlike other reproductions, these will be much more affordable at an MSRP...

I bought this Winchester 1917 "Enfield" from a friend of mine. He has had it for years and I have constantly mentioned that if he ever wished to sell it, I would buy it from him. He has been in the process of streamlining his collection and finally decided to part with this rifle, so he gave me...

I picked up my S+W Shield in 9mm two weeks ago and plan to make it my EDC as soon as I get comfortable with it and put a lot of rounds downrange. 1. I am looking for a IWB holster primarily for kidney carry. I have found a few that seem OK, but nothing with retention strap. I would like to...

Once in a while that SBR bug comes calling to me, and the Ruger Charger is seemingly a good candidate for an inexpensive way to get in the game. Has anyone done an SBR built on a Charger? I was thinking something like a Butler Creek folding stock and a little red dot sight. Costs involved over...

I'm considering trading my M1A Scout for a Steyr AUG/A3 SA. This is the version that accepts standard AR mags. I have a few specific questions and would also like opinions from those that own AUGs, specifically the SA version. 1. Do Pmags lock up and run reliably in the AUG? I have a pile of...

For years, my woods carry gun has been my Ruger KGP100 .357 with 6" bbl. carried in a old nylon holster. But, often the GP is a bit cumbersome to carry while doing some tasks (ie. cutting/hauling wood, fixing fence, etc.) I have, on occasion, carried my .40cal. CZ75 in a Bianchi M-12 holster...

Those of you familiar with the Forgotten Weapons YouTube videos probably already know of this new venture from Ian and the crew. InRangeTV will be a monthly, pay-per-view online show that will continue where Forgotten Weapons YouTube episodes are limited. Just watched the first episode and I...

OK, so I'm not sure if this truly belongs in C+R, Bolt rifle, or Smithy forums; but I thought this would be the place to get the best answers. I have Yugo Kar98 Mauser and am toying with the idea of building it into a reproduction sniper version to resemble the German sniper rifles of WW2. As...

OK, so there are threads for prettiest, worst, best, biggest you've ever fired. So, being a bit of a student of odd and arcane weapons, I thought I would start a thread for the strangest gun you have fired. The operating system, modifications, calibers, handling characteristics, etc. are all...

A friend of mine recently sold the AR15 he has had for years. I was quite surprised that he sold it and when I asked him why, he replied "I just got kinda bored with it, didn't seem that fun to shoot anymore." He has other semi-auto rifles that he still shoots, even other 5.56s. So it's not...

I have the urge to buy a more accurate .22 to replace my old trusty 10/22. The Ruger gets the job done on bunnies and squirrels and is accurate enough for range fun, but I would like to get something that will allow me to really get the most accuracy form the little rimfire round. But it still...

My brothers an I have been talking for years about getting together for a 3-5 day pheasant hunt in SD. (we are open to other areas within a day's drive of western WI.) We decided on thanksgiving that 2014 is the year we will finally get it done. I've have been looking at websites and trying to...

I'm seriously considering purchasing a new Ruger MIII 22/45 Lite model pistol in the near future. My main uses for the gun will be range work and rabbit hunting. Target shooting is not a problem, but I am concerned with the smallish size of the safety switch when wearing gloves in the winter...

I stumbled across this video today, thought I'd share it. http://msnvideo.msn.com/?channelindex=2&from=en-us_msnhpvidmod#/video/6982db86-ca45-407c-ab75-3c73e16f502c It reminded me of a time when my brother shot an incoming mallard that almost dropped right into our blind. So share some of...

First off, I need to state that I do not cast bullets, or even reload. But, somewhere along the line many years ago I picked up a bucket of linotype from old printing presses. I've had conflicting reports that it is or is not useful for casting bullets, and was wondering what the truth is. If...

After all these years, I'm finally getting down the last of my surplus Swede ammo (I bought a few thousand rounds many years ago when it was cheap and plentiful.) Anyway, I have a bunch of brass (mostly Privi and Winchester)that I am looking to have reloaded. I'd like to give the guy a recipe...

http://now.msn.com/atlanta-mom-shoots-intruder-in-the-face-5-times "Trigger Happy Mom..." So this is how the media describes a mom's actions to protect her family against an intruder? She landed 5 out of 6 shots into the target, I call that pretty darn good marksmanship under what was...

I've been reducing my collection as of late, trying to pear down the collection to guns that get used most often. So, I'm thinking of selling my Springfeild M1A Scout. Putting a feeler out to get an idea of a reasonable price. Granted, there is a feeding frenzy on everything semi-auto, but I'm...

"Operation: Red Devil" seems to be a succeeding. First, a bit of background. The farm that I do the majority of my hunting is about 300 acres in the coulee region of WI. Around 150 is tilled and the other half is wooded hills and valleys covered primarily in hardwoods; with Walnut, Hickory and...

I recently started using Gunslick foaming bore cleaner, just figured I'd give it a try. It works great and cleans up both lead and copper fouling nicely, but I thought I'd give a heads up to forum members. This weekend I hit the range with my M1 Garand and M1A Scout. I loaded up the M1A to...
