Found a recent article on understanding Twist Rate, of interest and helpful for those who are seeking information on the subject. Lists that the "Natural Stability" for a cylindrical projectile, is to tumble as oppose to a round ball. The factor of the projectile's center of gravity. For those...

Went deer scouting and squirrel hunting on my buddie's land today. Had a total of four Coyotes walk in on me. Three at 10yds and one at about 25yds. They did not see or hear me, they were out just walking about the place. Did not see or hear as many squirrels as I usually do but perhaps I'm...

Interesting to see that our local Super Wal-Mart, is putting M/L componets and rifles on it's shelves. That is in addition to all the other ammo. What a shocker to see Triple-7 for $29.00 a pound. Last year I paid $11.00 at the end of the season and two years ago, paid $8.00. Still carrying...

Hey fellas, looking for a manual or copy there of, for the BRNO 611 ZKM, .22 mag. Bought mine used and no manual with it. Tried to obtain one from the listed distrubutor, a few years back and just got a big run-around. It might be too much to ask for the actual manual so if someone could copy...

Last year I purchased a CVA Bobcat to be used for our trainig classes. I chose this model to present a side lock and the weight for the younger shooters. Have used it in three classes and have been having too many "Hang-Fires" and a few "Mis-Fires" Our shot sting is 40grns of 777, lubricate...

A friend of mine just bought a used SKS and needs help identifying this model. It has a 16" barrel, fixed magazine, made by Norinco. Looks pretty much like the rest, to me, except for the 16" barrel. Not into these things so am not much help and need Y'all's imput. I'm sure it's no big deal but...

Have any of you "In-Liners" tried this latest M/L Popellant?? I'm suspicious of their comparison chart as they make other brands look worse than I feel they are. Have only seen this product on the internet and none of my local shops. Would like to hear from those who have had any experience with...

Putting in some range time with three of my 10/22's last week and noticed a few different reports from my target model. When I checked my target, found what I think was a portion of one of the .22 cases, stuck in the target. It was split and unrolled. The metal was bright and clean with some...

Finally got to the range to shoot my new Ruger Charger. Mounted a 1.5 - 5.0 x mm Simmons rifle scope. Shot about 200 rounds through it, from a bench. On the plus side; At 25 yds. held a 1/2" group with a strong wind at my back. Then went out to 80yds. and shot clay birds on the berm with ease...

Not a serious problem but have noticed that the plastic and metal insert on the loaded chamber indicator seams to trap more dirt than the MKII. Makes the cleaning of this area just a little harder. Have any of you folks noticed this and how do you address it or just ignore it. Thinking about...

Recently sold a Knight MK-85 with all that came with it and then some. The fellow I sold it to, phoned and asked if it could be loaded with three 50grn. pellets. The MK-85 was unfired so could not really give him a good answer. I thought I read that this in-line was rated for this load but not...

Staff/Forum, I originally posted this under the Suggestion Forum and got no response. I hope I'm not out of line in the following suggestion. If so, my apologies. Do Y'all think there would be any interest in a new sub-catagoy of: Buy, Sell and Trade: Muzzleloaders & Gear This would save us...

Staff/Forum, Do Y'all think there would be any interest in a new sub-catagoy of: Buy, Sell and Trade: Muzzleloaders & Gear ??? This would save us "Front-Stuffers" some time in looking for our interests. "Respectfull asking and I thank You"

Saw a 10/22 .22LR. barrel at a local dealer's store that I sure would like to identify and possible purchase. It is clearly a 10/22 barrel, Blued with no sights. 16" long tapered and has a knurled nut at the muzzle end, that can be removed and a flash suppressor can then be installed. The bird...

Recently read a fairly good overvue on the subject of M/L propellants, in the 99th. edition of Shooter's Bible, Page 140, that is worth your time to read, just in case you have not read it. A few points of interest comes to mind: 1) Black Powder is classified as a "Class A Explosive" and that...

I've been offered a 10" T.C. Contender barrel in .223. Even though I am dealing with a Contender pistol, my basic question is about a rifle cartridge, so please bare with me. I am very suspect about the practical use of this barrel as well as how efficiant or accurate it might be. I just think...

Help !!! Just inherited two holsters from a friend and need help identifying what they are for. My buddy bought them but has no idea which guns he bought them for. So, he gave them to me so I can live with the confusion. They look like they are for revolvers. Both have the S&W emblem embossed...

Ran into an M/L Rifle that I need help identifying. It's a .50 Cal Hawken replica with a maple stock, 30" octagon barrel, Looks like a slow twist. Half stock with a white metal cap and all trimmed out in brass and double set trigger. The only barrel making I could read for the short time I had...
