    M16--what to look for.

    Hey guys, I am about to take the plunge on a RR M16. I really don't want to screw up with this type of coin on the line. I want a full auto gun, and I want it to be in good shape. Do the old A1 Colt's have any issues? Should I be concerned about the age of the receiver (metalurgy?) Any tips...

    Jan 08, Pat Rogers on Red dots.

    I loved the article on Red Dots. I always flip through the new issue of Swat to see what Pat Roger's has to say. I always hope that it is an article like this or his checklists. One day you need to put together a binder of your training articles. You may at your classes. I wouldn't know since...

    Blew up my Springfield barrel. What do I do?

    Guys, Dang it! I was testing my reloads today when I had a ftf. I did a tap rack and bang without thinking (as I have trained myself to do) and blew up the gun when I fired on a squib. Damn it! This gun ran like a charm. It was a Imbel Springfield Loaded that ran on all kinds of hollowpoints...

    Springfield SCOUT--Vortex install tips?

    Guys, I would like to put a Vortex flashinder on the rifle to trim it down a bit. I understand there are at least two methods of doing this. Is it correct to say one is a direct bolt-on replacement and the other requires replacing some more parts (front sight assembly)? Are both equally...

    Springfield Loaded trigger is heavy. Solutions?

    Guys, My loaded has a 7 pound trigger. Hilariously, it is very crisp and the reset is excellent. If it was just a few pounds lighter. I was thinking about ordering a C&S trigger with a 4.5 pound pull. Will this just drop in or am I heading for trouble. Any other solutions ? I also don't want...

    Hey dudes, I have a neat little Springfield loaded parkerized with night sights. I want to... 1. Replace the grips. It has an ambi saftey. My other 1911 grips seem to pin down the right side safety. Do I need a special grip, or do I have to modify standard grips? 2. Should I replace the solid...

    Need some hints...what is the toughest all-around rifle?

    Guys, I know this is sure to garner some:rolleyes: But what rifle(s) are considered the toughest for all-weather use these days? I was looking at at Marlin Alaskan Guide gun in stainless. It seemed pretty sturdy. Then again, I wonder if a cut-down Mauser 98 might be pretty damn unbreakable...

    Bad day with my Glock 19

    Guys, Man, what a terrible day. Yesterday I was blasting with my G19. I shot about 300 rounds. Early on in the shooting (with Winchester white box) I had a round stuck hanging from the side of the gun port. I ignored it because my gun has gone through about 2k rounds without a jam. Later (about...

    I screwed up every stage!

    I was at a tactical match tonight. There were 4 stages and 105 rounds. I screwed up every stage!! 1. Forgot to shoot one of the targets 3 times (Only shot it twice, ran dry, and skipped to the next one). 2. Ran to the wrong box (acutally, I ran to the blue carpet square in front of the box. 3...

    Cool new drill I came up with. Tests a lot of stuff.

    I started a new drill this last weekend. Using a 100 yard field, I set up paper plate targets at roughly 10-25 yard increments. The idea is to draw, shoot the first target, run to the first target, use the first target as cover and shoot 2 targets 2 rounds each. Run to that target, go prone and...

    Project: 1911

    I have decided that I am going to start a new project to replace my old “break my P2000” blog. The HK was just too perfect. I have always had a love/hate relationship with the 1911. I love the potential and the history, but I hate the finicky nature of the 1911. I have decided that I am going...

    What should my next "six months/torture test" gun be?

    Guys, As some of you know I spent the last six months blasting 13k plus through my P2000. It didn't miss a beat. I am bored with that gun and have spent the last month playing with other guns. This is counter-productive. I want to refocus my efforts on a specific gun again. What gun do you...
