I wanted to relay my experience with (drum roll, please...) my first ever CALL OUT! (Insert bells, whistles, and cheers!) It seemed that at our High School (note: I think that this could only happen in Indian Country), which is a Tribal school, we had a bunch of really savory characters who...

To all: I need a good load for the .38 Special. Here are the specifications: 1. I intend to use the 148 gr. HBWC--possibly Hornady. 2. The finished ctg. will be seated slightly below flush, with the case mouth rolled just a bit over the leading edge of the bullet. This load will be used in...

I am trying to organize a Cowboy Action Shoot at my club. I'd like the first match to be simple, straightforward and to the point--more fun than anything else. Please tell me ANYTHING that you can about such a match... How long does it take to set up? What's legal and what's not? Sample match...

Well, I was looking (still am) for a good bolt action rifle to replace my M1A for a precision rifle. It's not that I don't like that M1A, far from it. But it is a pristine pre-ban National Match rifle, and I'd like to save it some wear and tear. So, I take a look at my favorites, Winchester...

Just curious--does anyone have any hard data concerning the success or impact of HR 218? I'm especially curious about any instances where an armed off duty LEO assisted law enforcement in another State.

Hey, all--I need some quick advice. I have lucked onto what I believe is a gem--a Model 52 on sale in town. It has the original box, papers and wrench, with two magazines. It appears to be in about 95% condition. The gun store is asking $650.00. What do you think--should I jump on it or...

Mods, please move this to the appropriate forum if this is not in the right place. Let's keep an eye out! ___________________ QUOTE Hello friends and customers of GatlingGuns.com, I am writing to you for your *help* at this time. As you may or may not know the http://oklahomafullauto.com/...

Well, here it is. Everybody chime in! An officer contacts a member of the public, for whatever reason. The officer requests and gets ID. He runs the name and DOB. You are standing across the street. The officer is talking to the person, and everything seems normal. Suddenly, without...

How do! I need a practice load that will duplicate the ballistics of the Federal GM Match 168 grain load, in .308. I intend to use MatchKings, and have a supply of Federal GM Match brass, unfired. So, what do you recommend to get me to the 2600 fps mark? I'm especially interested in loads...

Thanks to all who gave me the advice concerning the bipod on my rifle. Now, another question. I note that on the front underside of the M1A stock, there is a small "witness" hole. I'm not sure what it's for--other than venting a very small amount of gas from under the barrel. Can I mount the...

Once again, I need some advice. I am in a position where I must make some modifications to my M1A. It is an older National Match model. I have to mount a bipod, and I have decided to mount a Harris bipod to the rifle. As you probably know, a sling swivel stud must be present for this. Here is...

Lube it up!! OK! So, now we have this pile of cast bullets—made by our own hands, and chomping at the bit to go shoot that perfect score, or to take down that game animal, or for practice or just plinking. Maybe they’re 185 gr. LSWC, loaded to make major for IPSC. Perhaps 200 gr. HG 68’s for...

Well, as promised, here is the third installment. Assuming that we have the equipment necessary, and have reviewed and fully understand the safety precautions yet again, it’s time to make some bullets! Here’s where I use the propane burner, outside. I will take my buckets of raw wheelweights...

Well, here's the second installment. Again, bullet casters and moderators, feel free to add to this list as needed. OK, everyone read the safety part? Good. Now let’s go on to what you need to actually start casting. 1. Smelter (i.e., lead pot, kettle, etc.) There is no law that says you...

This is in response to the threads I have seen recently asking for casting advice. While I am by no means the Alpha and Omega of bullet casting, I have learned enough to pass along some tips. To Mods and other experienced casters--please chime in if I have missed something. Here we go...

Just got a project dumped into my lap by our Chief. The Department wants some select-fire M4's, or M4geries--doesn't matter which as long as they are 3 round burst. Our armorer (a good old guy, but not too up on the prices of firearms) has contacted a local LE dealer about exchanging some of...

I grew a new toy today... A folding stock AK, Norinco made w/ milled receiver, complete with spike bayonet, 4 magazines and a case of Wolf HP ammo. All for a VERY low price, from a good friend who said he has "too many AK's". Now here's my problem. The front sight assembly is loose on the...

Hi, all, and happy turkey day! I have found a Colt Gov't, Series 80, in good condition. It is a 9mm. It is used, and the place I found it at wants $600.00. Fair price? What should I be paying for one in about 95% condition? Anything specific to look for? Thanks!

Hi, all! Any input for a good accurate load using the 200 gr. LSWC in .45 ACP? This load will be used in a revolver (625). Minimal recoil desired. Must be accurate (hopefully) out to 50 yards. I'm already loading with Clays (3.5 grains) and Herco (5.5 grains). Any other powders worth...

To all you advanced pistoleros out there, I need some pointers. I have been shooting Bullseye competition for a good time now. I still am in need of a good wadcutter gun. As a temporary measure, I purchased a SW 625, and put my Ultra-Dot on it. I found that this revolver is VERY accurate at...
