FYI: If you have a Makarov, I'd recommend a Fobus holster for it. I ordered the paddle holster and, for the price, it's a handy little gadget. The gun stays firmly in place, yet it is easily accessible with just a tug. This is the first Kydex-type holster I've owned, but I'll probably get...

Perhaps some of you have heard of this already, but it's news to me. I read in Liberty magazine that Krazy Glue applied to a bullet (I'm not sure how) will defeat "bulletproof vests" (aka body armor). Is this true? If so, stock up on Krazy Glue now, before it's outlawed. Geez, who comes up...

It's been years, but I finally went rabbit hunting again this morning. Getting out in the field sure was nice; I've forgotten how much I missed being outdoors. I also forgot to take the scope off of my .22 rifle, and in the area I was hunting that meant the rabbits were too fast (or I have...

For those of you enlightened enough ;) to own a Makarov, there are a couple of new holsters on the market for these little Eastern-bloc beauties. Here's the link to see them. http://makarov.com/ . I've ordered a paddle holster and I'll let you know what I think of it when I get it. If it's...

Has anyone tried one of those ported barrels Federal Arms makes for the Makarov? If so, could you please post your comments? Is it worth the time and expense? I'd love to reduce the muzzle flip of my 9x18 Mak a bit to make follow-up shots more quickly. DAL ------------------ Reading...

Do any of you have any experience with shotgun inserts? A place called MCA Sports http://www.mcace.com/ sells various inserts for shotguns that convert them to rifles. How accurate are these things? Are they worth the money? DAL ------------------ Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal,"...

Are there any affordable ($2500-3500) full auto submachineguns (9mm) out there? From my limited understanding, all full autos for civilians must have been manufactured prior to 1986, and no semi auto version of anything manufactured since then can be converted. Is this correct? If it is...

I've been looking for a holster for my 6" Python so that I can take it on hikes. Of course, there are plenty of suitable holsters out there for the gun, but I am looking for a holster with a flap that secures over the gun. In addition, I'd like for the holster to be of manmade materials, if at...

I can hardly believe it! The Government finds itself not guilty in the Waco deaths. Of course, this is only a recommendation to the judge presiding over the trial, and he can dismiss the jury's verdict if he sees fit. Yeah, right, like THAT'S going to happen, especially since, IIRC, he is the...

On page 42 of the July 3, 2000 issue of Shotgun News there are six rifles for sale that do not require an FFL to order. The one I'm interested in (even though I have no real need for it, and my gun budget is blown for the year) is the Mauser sporter in 7mm. It is already drilled and tapped for...

I learned something new today, which most of you probably already knew. I recently bought some new RP .30-06 brass, neck sized it (just to make all the mouths round), used my chamfer and deburring tool on it, and primed it. Then, as I began to charge the cases, that's when the surprise...

If you read this, please do so completely. I especially like the last part that defends the people's right to obtain the guns criminals (and government?) have available. Your thoughts are welcome. DAL ---------- Limits on Guns? Q: In a proper society, individuals surrender to government...

Does anyone have anything good to say about BSA scopes? All I can remember hearing are knocks on them. Are they really that bad? I HAVE seen some favorable comments on Tasco scopes, which is good because I've ordered a 6-24 x 40 AO Mag IV model from Midway. It's on backorder though, so I...

I've read on occasion about people converting old Mausers to other calibers, such as .308. What all is involved in doing this? Which guns lend themselves easily to conversion? Or is the whole process too much trouble to mess with? The reason I'm asking is that I'll be heading to a local gun...

I've found a good price on IMI brass in SGN. Has anyone used this stuff before? Is it of good quality? DAL ------------------ Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," by Ayn Rand, should be required of every politician and in every high school. GOA, JPFO, PPFC, CSSA, LP, NRA

Can I neck resize only for the life of my brass, or is it necessary that I occasionally throw in a full-length resize? The brass is always used in the same gun, of course. DAL ------------------ Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," by Ayn Rand, should be required of every politician and in...

No, not the mouthwash. I am fishing for suggestions on what power scope to put on the CZ 527 in .223 I'll pick up out of layaway in a few days. I'm leaning towards a 4-16x 40mm. This gun will mainly be used for target shooting and plinking. I may, at some point in the future, use it for...

On Tuesday, I treated myself to an extended (for me) session at a new range I joined, the Ben Lomand Gun Club. It was fantastic! I used the 100-yard benchrest range, complete with concrete benches and a covered firing line. But the best thing about it was that I was out there all alone for 4...

Does anyone out there own a CZ rifle of any caliber? What is your impression of them? They seem well made to me, but are they accurate? I am looking at a CZ527 in .223 and I'm wondering if it's worth the money. I was thinking about buying the CZ527 when it comes out in 7.62x39 next month, but...

I hope that some of you old hands at reloading can help me with this. Are cartridges supposed to vary in length even when no adjustment has been made to the seating die? Without making any changes while seating the same bullets from the same box, I often can have as much as +/- .002" to .005"...
