    Ranges near USAF Bases?

    OK, so I finally made it out to the range at Hurblurt Field down here in Florida for some quality time with my Sig and HK. While it's nice to have any range, this one just doesn't impress me. First is a 2-man rule where you are required to have at least 2 liscensed drivers at the range. This...

    Converting .45 GAP gun to other rounds?

    So I was thinking, let's say that the .45 GAP turns out to be another flash-in-the-pan caliber like say the .41 Magnum or .357 Sig (just two caliber that were supposed to be more popular than they are). Now with the .357 Sig for example, one can always get a different barrel and shoot .40 S&W...

    USAF qualification course of fire?

    The wife is due to go out to the range here sometime next week and requalify with both the M-16A2 and M-9 Beretta. Last time she missed getting her ribbon by just a few points and now she's out to get them come hell or high water. Now she wants to get to the range and work on it with my Beretta...

    S&W SW99 trigger pull...is it me or do they all suck?

    I was out to the range yesterday shooting several .45 caliber pistols back to back including a USP-45, Sig 220, EAA Witness steel full size, Glock 21, three different 1911s and a S&W SW99. While I had no functional problems with the SW99 and the DA trigger pull is good, I can't believe what a...

    Headspacing a USGI barrel in an M-14??

    Ok, I know that with the match barrels with the short chambers it's all a matter of reaming out the chamber with a pull through reamer but how about the chrome lined military barrels? I would think that the chrome lining would chew up the reamer more than it would cut out the new chamber. I...

    Glass bedding a stock "what if's"

    OK, so I just got done glass bedding my first rifle stock. I made sure to use a lot of release agent coats on the action and any exposed metal. While I'm waiting for it to set up, every thought of something having gone wrong is going through my head. Worst though is that I missed a spot with...

    The scout rifle concept

    OK, I read Coopers thoughts on it and a lot of posts here and other places as well but I still fail to see the purpose of it. The scope is low powered so it should be good for close range shots but sports a bipod for long range shots that really isn't it's forte. Iron sights IMHO are just as...

    *&^%$# PC gun owners!

    Well, once again, I must rant here. A few days ago, I was in one of the local gun stores just milling around looking over some of the new weapons that came in. One other customer was looking at a shotgun and talking to the dealer when he mentioned how they maybe should ban "assault weapons"...

    South African .308 ammo WARNING!!

    A while back at a local gun show, I bought some South African .308 ammo made by PMP to fire through my .308 Druganov. I only fired aobut 10 rounds with most of them sticking in the chamber and the extractor slipping over the top of the rim. I then switched to some Norinco .308 that I happend...

    New style M1A NM rear sight opinions

    I was looking at a new "loaded" M1A the other day and I noticed that they are using a differnt style rear sight. The new one uses a detent ball on the windage knob and a modified windage knob. My impression was that it looked cheesey to be honest. Has anybody else had any experience with...
