Two ways (poster) Suggestions welcome.

Seems to me that the drum sight is much simpler to adjust in battle than either M14/Garand or AR15/M16 rear sight...and it won't just from recoil as 1903 aperture rear can. What are the problems with the HK sight?

I recall reading that sound suppressors sold for $2-5 in 1934, making the $200 tax on them equivalent to 4,000-10,000% tax rate. Can anyone name any other goods or services which were taxed more, ever in the human history? Makes the Moorish taxes on Christians and Jews seems downright tame by...

Recently, I wanted to improve my Mauser to include a peep sight. It took much damage while in the care of the gunsmith. At this point, my options seem to be 1. Re-build it to the original form 2. Re-build it to the intended form 3. Try to get it replaced by the smith (preferred...though I...

What to do about a lousy gunsmithing job? Recently, I got a very nice M48 Mauser. It was in very good shape and worked well. I didn't like the V-notch rear sights and decided to put a Lyman aperture sight on the receiver. I specifically asked if it can be installed without blocking the...

Plenty of hints out there.

:) Found several links to my site this morning, including links to Russian translations of them (some of the links a bit slow). Nice to see that not everyone is following the British lead.

I am considering getting a 731UL for pocket carry but have several questions. 1. I've shot one with Federal SWC loads and recoil was so mild that I could shoot it double action without my hand getting beat up. Would that mild recoil be replaced with 38Spl level of kick if I fire Georgia Arms...

For all ya unrepentant hippies out there. Also: This guy is well-protected. An average Tennessean. I really like this state!

Seems that two Finnish Mosins (model yet unknown) might come live with me, courtesy of a friend who still has them in cosmoline. Given that Finns shimmed the actions, would it be a good idea to detail-strip the rifles for cleaning? If not, what's the best way to get around the problem? One gun...

Had a pleasant experience plinking at a quart container filled with water at about 150m, from a hillside to a hillside. Couldn't see well enough to tell the container with a white label from a rock of about the same size. Hitting was easy with an AR15 once I figured out which was my target...

I'd like to set up for reloading the following calibers: 30-06 because components are available and I'd like to learn on it. 38S&W because I like several revolvers in that chambering but can't afford much ammo nor find LRN as useful as SMC or even JHP. 45ACP because I want to get a Webley...

In talking to antis, I find they do not think police officers should be armed off-duty. Their concern about it isn't about lack of training. It is about the purpose of guns. That purpose is NOT protecting the life of the officer (which would make it reasonable to carry off-duty) and NOT about...

(pictures to follow when I have time) Shot a "new" $60 Mosin-Nagant this weekend (probably a 1917 Remington production which was re-barreled and re-stocked by Tikka in 1943). Last owners were real effing slobs but the slight rust cleaned up with oil and a paper towel. Balance on that rifle was...

I need a high-res image showing Chinese army or police personnel for a poster I've designed. Has anyone an idea as to where I could find such a picture? The image needs to be recent enough to show AK rifles or similar.

Tested all my magazines when I got a basic Bushmaster rifle. Now, with another rifle based on a Rock River receiver, some magazines sit too low to feed, though they work find in the BM. Some of the magazines work fine, some don't. The bolt rides too high to scoop them reliably (?) and I end up...

If I have a rifle with a collimator sights and iron sights which look through the optic, shouldn't the two sights match once zeroed? I did a quick zero today and the red dot seemed to be slightly off from where the iron sights were pointing...

What kind of considerations arise when trying to defeat glass (storefront or car door or other kinds) with common carry calibers (9 to 45)? Would a bullet fired straight on at 90 degrees retain enough stability to hit a target a few feet behind reliably?

Wanted to update this image: Not sure if this is an improvement...so comments and suggestions are welcome:

I am looking for cross-sections of common rifle calibers (223, 5.45, 7.62x39, 308, 7.62x54, 303, 8mm) of various manufacture...
