The magazine tube spring on my mossberg seems to be getting weak (2 years old, fully loaded, always). I am thinking of replacing it with a Wolff spring. Any pro's or con's? Looks like they are available from the factory for less that $10. Thanks

I found some surplus 4895 type powder at good prices, along with fmjbt 147 gr bullets. This would be used in M1A. Any reason I should stay away from this stuff? The new stuff: H4895($19) and MK168 Sierras ($16) gets expensive fast! Thanks

After having a good guns and self defense discussion with my kids the other day, I looked in one of their older history books. I was very pleasantly surprised to read this: "Amendment 2 - The people have the right to keep and bare arms". :) This a McMillan/McGraw-Hill book, dated 1995. I need...

I see that Creedmore has a 60MM 15X45 Water Proof Spotting Scope on special for $150. I am looking for my first scope to use at 200 yrds (.308 holes). http://www.creedmoorsports.com/specials.html Any reason this should not suffice? Technically, it has the right obj diameter, and the right...

Has anybody had any success with a high speed, light bullets? (Success means that the rifle cycles consistantly.) Looks like 110 gr with 45 gr of Acc 2520 is an acceptable mix, but will the gun like it? Thanks Dave

Using the loose bullet in a dummy cartridge trick, I measure an OAL of 2.95" when the bthp hits the rifling. (sierra, 168 gr) Now, that of course does not fit in the mag, and if I back off about .020 for accuracy, it is still No Good! So, what gives? Is this "normal"? Yes, I am aware that due to...

Just loaded some 308 with the basic Lee hand press; try them out later today. I gotta' comment on the powder measure: it came with with a 2.8 cc measure, which, if it was exactly full, should appearantly be 37.1 gr. But I'll tell you what, that thing has no accuracy or repeatability to it...

It's time to splurge and get some good factory ammo to try in my rifle. Anybody want to reccommend a factory load for accuracy? Thanks Dave

New M1A, shooting S African ammo (FMJ), SS barrel. When I clean the barrel with brass brush and Hoppes, I get some green coloring on the patch. After being in closet for a week, get a bit more green slime in barrel, and in the throat. I've never seen this before. Seems to be brighter green than...

Novice questions: I sighted in windage at ~50 yards today. With the front sight centered in dovetail, the rear ap was 2 notches to the left. Not clicks, but 2 of the 8 notchs on the rcvr. This seems awfully far off for a new rifle, doesn't it? So, to make better use of the windage system, I...
