    CZ527 in 7.62x39

    I got a reply to my e-mail to CZ about their soon-to-be-sold Model 527 in 7.62x39. They said the barrel will be 18.5" and the bore diameter will be .308. My questions to you: Will a .308 bore preclude my using the cheap foreign-made ammo available out there? Also, if I must handload for this...

    Muzzle brake update.

    A few weeks back, I posted a topic asking about muzzle brakes. I decided to go ahead and have one installed on my .30-06 by Answer Products in Michigan, along with a recoil pad. It took about three weeks from the time I sent it to get it back. The rifle came back last week and I took it to the...

    Police/SWAT at Columbine.

    Do you think the police did everything humanly possible to stop the Columbine killers? Could the police have done more? Or was it impossible to do more to stop the morons once they were in the library? Obviously, not many, if any, of us were there that day, so I'm not asking for eyewitness...

    I screwed up...HELP!

    While priming some .30-06 cases with my Lee ram prime gadget, I somehow managed to seat a primer sideways in the pocket. Now I can't remove the shell from the shellholder. I can, however, remove the shellholder from the press, which I did. I'm sitting here looking at it and wondering how the...

    Any defenders of Feds action at Waco?

    This is probably going to go over like a lead balloon, but is there anyone out there willing to defend the Government's role in the Waco debacle? I'd really like to hear a moral defense of what happened there and try to follow the (twisted) logic. I promise that I won't flame your reply, but...

    Case trimming question.

    I'm going to show my ignorance and ask what may seem like an elementary question. Should I trim my cases before or after resizing/decapping them? It seems to me that it should be done after resizing/decapping, just in case the primer has moved out of its pocket a hair, but I may be way off base...

    Scope an SKS?

    I finally shot my SKS yesterday and I was really happy with it. The only thing I'd like to try is to put a scope on it. I know, I know...the SKS wasn't designed for a scope. But setting that fact aside for a moment, has anyone scoped their SKS? What was the result? DAL ------------------...

    7.62x39mm in bolt action?

    Do any of you know of anyone who makes a bolt action rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm? Someone told me Ruger makes (made?) one, but I didn't see anything about it on Ruger's website.

    To all of you LEOs out there.

    To all LEOs: IF handgun registration was somehow made mandatory in this country, how many of you LEOs would enforce it? Would you pursue the owners of unregistered handguns as vigorously as you do other lawbreakers? Would you feel bad about arresting someone just because they possessed an...

    Workplace death threats against me.

    I am a supervisor at a manufacturing plant and I recently became aware, via another employee, of death threats made by one of my long-time problem-child employees towards me. He specifically stated that if he were ever fired, he would have nothing left to loose and that he would go to his car...
