Is the rear sight adjustable on the SA Mil-Spec? I see a scale on the top of the slide and a rule mark on the sight, but no dovetailing is visible. I don't want to beat on something that shouldn't be beaten on. I need about three inches right @ 15 yards.

I've just lately started reloading 30-06 for a Garand. I decapped some cases last night and didn't meter my lube as I should have. I ended up with a few cases with dings on the shoulders. Are these OK to shoot? I know the pressure will ramp up a little, but I'm only at about 95% of max with...

I bought some 30 caliber 150 gr M2 milsurp pull-down bullets for Garands from Widener's. The price was right...$46/1000 with shipping included. About ten percent of them are corroded so bad they've turned green. I worked on them with a lead-away rag and they polished up OK, but now they're...

I've just picked up a 1944 Springfield Garand with a H&R 1952 barrel. I've got some 110 grain Lake City M-1 Carbine bullets that I'm thinking of loading up in 30-06 with about 52 grains of H335. Think that will cycle the action OK? The Speer guide lists 54 grains as max.....I want to start...

On the Tactical Rifle forum over on Yahoo, a foreign guy -Pakistani, I think - has been writing about the regional warlord chiefs wanting more small arms oomph that have worked up a new 3000 fps 7mm X 39 round (NOT 7.62) with an AK action and are already into production in their cottage arms...

Anybody have a TiteGroup recipe for 230 gr Lead Round Nose?

Anybody have a source for inexpensive Makarov lead bullets? I was using Phoenix, but they're not selling them any more....too much trouble "collating" them. I know what collating is to a copy machine...what is it to making lead bullets?

If a scope's elevation/windage click adjustment is 1/4" at 100 yds, what is it at 50 yds? Half (1/8") or double (1/2") ??

Can I use the linotype bullet reloading data in the Lyman's guide for regular Phoenix lead .38's?

I found a Simmons Pro 50 2.5-10 X 50 rifle scope at Wally World for $95.00 that I think I'd like to mount on my T/C Classic 22. Anybody have any experience with this model? I have a Simmons 44 Magnum 6.5-20 X 44 on my Savage 12FV that has been a winner so far. Do you think a 50 mm objective...

I didn't present this topic, or myself very well, so I scrubbed it. Never mind. I am a gossip-mongering idiot.

Haven't been able to get on since Saturday afternoon. ???????????????

Anybody have a recipe for 93 gr lead 9 X 18 Makarov using: Winchester Super Target or Hodgdon Tite Group or Blue Dot or V340...

I loaded a couple of hundred rounds using AA #9, Remington 110 gr bullets and Lee carbide dies. After being fired, the case mouth swells up so much that they won't extract, and I get one FTF or FTE after another. It's a mixed lot of brass, but mostly Winchester. Any thoughts?

I posted a Benelli question here the other day and got a lot of good comments about them....thanks all. So, I went ahead and bought it....Nova 18.5 with a slug smoothbore. I took it to the range yesterday and it's a SWEET shooter, except I didn't find where it prints slugs at 100 yards. I'll...

I have an 870 on layaway. When I went to pay on it tonight a Benelli Nova caught my eye...now I'm not sure what I want. Are Benellis any good?

I have a 12-gauge Mossy 500 AT that's about 20 years old. It's had a pretty easy life - I haven't shot it a lot - not obviously worn out at all. Yesterday I took it out and shot some slugs and tactical buckshot out of it, and the gun was acting like it was a semi-auto. With most shots, the...

I cleaned my new/old Romanian SKS and the rear sight leaf spring came out. It is VERY strong. I'm wondering what sort of mechanical/hydraulic help I might need to put it back in. Someone on another board suggested taking the sight out completely and re-assembling from the top down. How does the...

Any Statistics Students/Experts Out There? I need someone good at statistics to about a second-year college level to help me out with a personal project. I can pay a little, and there's not a lot of time involved. Contact me off list.

I wanted to buy an AR-15 at a gun show in central Ohio last Saturday. I was put on "delay" ... I'm used to that. Because of being short on time, I let the whole thing go until this weekend. I came home last night to a voice-mail message from the dealer. According to the message, I'm approved...
