Does anyone know the twist rate of the Ruger 10/22? Will the new Aguila 60 gr .22 lr stabilize okay in the 10/22? What kind of velocity would the Aguila get out of the Ruger's 18 1/2" barrel? What velocity does the Remington "subsonic" load get in the 10/22? If anyone has any of the above...

Hello, I am looking for a light, easily carried .308 that takes detachable mags. The Savage Scout seems to fit the bill. I don't want to pay over $500 for the rifle, but it is important for me to be able to get MOA accuracy out of it. Is the Savage a good rifle? Is it capable of MOA...

Hello, Does anyone know how to load subsonic .308 ammo? I understand the case volume is a problem, so could it be solved by using some sort of filler or flake powder? If it is too difficult to reload for, does anyone know where I can get some? I heard Black Hills makes it, but for $30/box of...

I went to a gun show this morning and saw a pistol that I have heard or seen nothing about. It was a polymer framed pistol made in Croatia (of all places). I think it was called the HS2000. It was very interesting and felt really nice in the hand. It had numerous intriguing features: 1)...

Today I went shooting with VictorLouis (see Sunday's Silly Kahr Konundrum). I had a great time-I really think we should have a Phx gathering/shootout. I had never shot any of the guns that Vic brought, so I came away with some thoughts. 1) Kahr makes a damn fine pistol. Another shooter...

Hey all, Victor Louis and I were planning on getting together and going shooting this weekend. What do all of you TFLers from the Phoenix area think about gathering somewhere and going blasting?! Maybe a chance to meet each other, trade training and tips, and shoot guns that you don't have...

I've been looking into refinishing a couple of handguns that I have. I've been looking into hardchroming and Metacol III by ARS. I have heard that hardchroming has a hardness of 70 on the Rockwell scale, equal to that of diamonds, and just above Tenifer. A few questions, if I may... 1) Does...

Whaaaaaaaaasuuuuuuup??!! Anyone see Leno last night about Al Gore on the phones? Hilarious! Anyway, yesterday I picked up a P7 that I bought unseen off a fellow TFLer. It was in 98-99% condition (very minor holster wear near the muzzle) with only about 300 rounds fired. Actually, the...

I recently bought matching unissued Bulg Maks for the wife and myself. I noticed two weird things: 1) I can't screw the grip screw all the way in with the Pearce grips. If I do, the mag won't go in. So I have to loosen the screw a bit. Is this normal? 2) One of the Maks partially spits out...

Greetings Gentlepeople! 1) I just bought 2 unissued Bulgarian Maks (one for me, one for the wife, both for CCW). She hasn't had the chance to fire it, but I hope the snappy recoil isn't too much for her carpal tunnel-plagued wrists. Now to the question: is it cool to dry fire Maks without...

Well, now that we have come to the conclusion that Maks are golden, what kind of accuracy are you guys getting? Specifically, have any of you bench-rested them? I have heard several people mention that the accuracy is "shocking" and "as good as any full-sized auto I've ever shot". What are we...

Maks seem to be the hot topic lately, and I have been reading with much interest about them since Oris mentioned he loved the little pistols (I respect and agree with Oris' thoughts about guns). It seems that the Bulgarians are the most widely available and economically priced versions on the...

Hello all, I just purchased a CZ 75B with night sights from J&G. I believe the N.S.'s are Meprolights. Anyway the pistol seems to shoot very accurately, just not precisely to the POA. It is shooting about 3 inches high from about 12 yards. How can I go about getting the gun to shoot POA...

Greetings, I will be purchasing an Arcus 94 (Bulgarian Hi-Power clone) to replace my beloved Browning Mark III that was stolen out of my truck. I paid $340 new in '90 for the Mark III, and I can't see myself buying an almost new one (I haven't seen any NIB) for $525 now. What I'm getting at...

Greetings, At the gunshows I see consistently see two booths selling "factory reloaded" ammo. One is Wild West Ammunition and the other is "Wholesale AMMO" (although it says Miwall Corporation on the white and black boxes). My questions are: 1)Does anyone know of the quality of these...

Do any of you gents with a chronograph know what the muzzle velocity is of a standard high velocity .22 lr bullet out of a 4" barrel. More specifically, what velocity should I expect out of my P4 (22/45) using the 36-40 grain stuff that is listed at 1255 to 1280 on the box (doesn't say what...

I just felt the need to unload a little of my pent up frustration with the world. I'm not going to bi#@h about the world we live in, but rather some more minor things that irritate me. Flame me or agree with me, it doesn't matter. I just have to get it off my chest. Why is everyone so caught...

Hey TFLers- Just curious...is there any way to tell the approximate date of manufacture of a Kimber by the serial number? Thanks. Merry Christmas and God Bless

I don't know if this should go under handguns or not, but I'll start here. Is it possible to get a steel frame for my Sig 229 .40 without buying the P229 Sport model? Thanks.

OK, so I'm a dope. I have always kept my guns stock and fortunately have never had to have any custom work/improvements made (at least to my satisfaction). I always hear about throating the barrel and polishing the feed ramp. I get the polishing the feed ramp bit, assuming that it will help...
