Has anyone managed to get one of these yet. I notice one of my local gun shops have the item listed but the website continues to list them as out of stock.

After some decent experience over time with the 17hmr I have been very disappointed with forward torso hits on animals of these sizes. When ever I aim for the head they go down instantly. I would say up to 50 percent of upper torso shots I have made on animals of this size have resulted in them...

Dont know what the proper terminology is. Basically slowly advancing towards a target while firing with weapon, aimed rapid fire. What distance to start the exercise? Size of practice target?

Why? Why not just get an AR in 7.62x 39? Sure the advertised velocity is 2800 fps but it is out of a 24-28 inch test barrel. AK47 length barrels were used to measure the velocity of the Russian cartridge back when it was developed. I just dont see it being a very successful cartridge.

I don't understand the logic in this myself. In Afganistan we are fighting scrubs with no body armor, few vehicles, no "panzers".. and we need a round that penetrates body armor and armored vehicles more reliably? Am I missing something? The mk318 is obviously superior in bringing the bad...

I have owned all these guns at one time or another and had questions Which is most resistant to wear and tear, without the need to replace parts and springs? The most durable i.e. being dropped, ran over etc etc which is most reliable under adverse combat conditions? Just considering a...

Shot 40 rounds through my ruger sr556 with no malfunctions. Not enough to prove the reliablity of the round but a great improvement over lacquer coated and zinc plated. I wonder if the brass plating works better because of the tendency of copper and the steel of the chamber of not bonding...

The ak is supposed to be the most rugged assault rifle devise. Utterly reliable, Can be manufactured in a cave in Afganistan etc etc. A friend of mine has one of those yugo or Romanian aks and it has fired out of battery, primer blowouts, primers flattening, deformed cases, and yesterday a...

unwittingly received a 9mm stolen from a police deputy a few months ago. The guy that bought it from me had the numbers run on it and later I had a state trooper in my driveway. pretty much disgusted me and dont know if I will ever do anymore ftf transactions anymore. I did the honorable...

I wish I had done some research on the mini-thirty before I bought one. It misfires with russian made wolf ammo and after some reading it seems that they only digest US made ammo reliably. I think it has more to do with the fact that the primers are recessed from the base of the cartridge as...

I wanted to know what is a good number of rounds to keep in a 30 round quality magazine for an indefinitely long period of time.

To my surprise the gun had a few malfunctions in the first magazine. It appeared that the bolt was not coming back far enough. The gas system was on 2 so I cranked it up to 3 and the problem was solved. However I had a misfeed yesterday. THe case was scraped hard on one side by two teeth from...

Will wearing protective goggles cause a shift in my point of aim/ point of impact from a rifle? At ranges beyond 200 yards? Also just how much will wearing protective goggles inhibit situational awareness?

I have read where varmint hunters have drilled out match bullets to turn them into hunting bullets with great success. I have experimented a little myself. My question is whether it is sufficient to just file the tip down and than drill to open the hollow point up and weaken the jacket wall...

Has anyone ever considered the possibilities of a 17 hmr semi-automatic rifle with hi-capacity magazines?

will the mini-14 6.8 stock swap out with a mini-14 ATI tactical stock for a mini-14 in 223?

1) if a man pulls a knife on me am I "weapons free" to engage him with a firearm? 2) what about not so obvious weapons like a) baseball bat b) taser gun c)pepper spray c)farm implement (hole, hookbill) d) axe If these weapons are brandished as if the person in possession of them is without...

1) Will a heavier bullet resist turbelance better than a lighter bullet during trans-sonic flight? 2) 2 bullets of different calibers/ both bullets have the same ballistic coefficient/ both bullets leave the barrel at the same velocity/ both are subjected to the same crosswind Will a the...

I want to trap feral dogs, possums, coons, coyotes etc. etc. but I do not want to harm my outdoor cats. I figure a box trap is the best choice. Now how about trying to catch a coyote in an area where there are animals I would be concerned about getting into snares or foot traps. Would I still...

Hunting was banned at a city lake of ours that exist out in the county. It is not in city limits. Hunting has been allowed for decades out their so long as you used rimfires or shotguns. I suppose nothing can be done about this one. However a sign says you cannot bring a high powered rifle onto...
