I need to replace a spring for the magazine on a Mossberg 590 MarineCote.....any ideas where to get one? I tried Midway and Brownell's and neither one specifically had the Mossberg replacement. Anyone, anyone? Thanks, Ed

I am bringing this over from the Art of the Rifle Forum, here was the post that opened it up: Sendero Problems....... I've got a 300 Winmag Sendero, used but in what appears to be very good condition. Problem is, is that it won't allow the bolt to open up after I shoot. It travels...

I've got a 300 Winmag Sendero, used but in what appears to be very good condition. Problem is, is that it won't allow the bolt to open up after I shoot. It travels BEAUTIFULLY from the closed position to almost "12 o'clock", but I mean you need to be a gorilla to get it up the last 1/8" to 12...

Anybody have a blue book that can find out what a Springfield Gov't 1911A1 Blued with the Cylinder & Slide Recocker goes for? Don't have the box in front of me or the model number, but my guess is it's a standard model with the C&S feature installed at the factory. Thanks, Ed

Just got an AR10, already have a PSS in .308. Can't find places that stock Hirtenberger ammo, all these people swearing by it for use in AR10's. Anybody, Anybody...... Also, when I was sighting in my PSS I was able to use some Portugese Surplus, is it all pretty much the same? Is...

I have heard people say that the 45-70 Gov't is a much better load for handloading bear cartridges than the 444 Marlin. Specifically, they mention that bullet in the 444 is a pistol bullet and available in limited weights above 240gr. While I have seen this to be true, I have also seen a...

Can someone state a factual progression of buying your first automatic rifle. I am now seriously starting to look for an M16 and was wondering the way it usually goes down. Do I find and pay for the rifle first? Or do I find it and then fill out paperwork and then get approved and then pay...

I have a .270 ADL sitting around and was thinking that I could convert it over to a 1000yd gun. I think I would need to go to a standard long action caliber and the .300 WinMag appears the best choice.....or is it? What would I need to do to start this project? I know the action will work...

I'm not looking to be the #1 contender, but would like to be fairly good with the weapons I have. I'm not looking to rearmor..... I live in Northern Virginia and don't know where to start to look for competitions in either IPDA, IPSC, 3-Gun etc...... I can always find a good clays...

Does this look familiar to anyone?

In the picture I attached, notice the left ring and the mounting "cams" on the bottom. I bought a DPMS riser that is touted as a "weaver-style". I also bought the Leupold "cross slot" PRW Rings pictured. Shouldn't the ring mounting "cam" sit flush with the side of the rail? Even in the...

I have a benchrest scope I am putting on the new upper I got for hunting varmints. It has a 30mm tube and a 56mm objective........ What would be the best guess as to height rings I would need to order. Nobody in my area has a nice enough selection to see what height would work, and I don't...

From "The Ultimate Sniper" by Maj. John Plaster USAR (Ret.) Informal Media Penetration Test pg. 129 1st line will represent 5.56 m193 ammo, 2nd line will represent 7.62 m80 ammo....... Military Sandbags 100yds -- fail Military Sandbags 100yds -- fail Helmet w/ liner 200yds MAX Helmet w/...

I took my 700P in .308 to the range Saturday. I have a 10x40 Tasco SS Mildot scope on which I boresighted Friday night. Started at 50 from the prone position and grouped my first 5 shots inside a quarter. OK, so it was a good start. Trigger pull was hellishly heavy... From 100yds the damn...

I am going tomorrow to shoot at a range that will have shots available out to 600 guaranteed maybe even 1000yds. I have a brand new 700P in .308, with a 10x mildot on it........ Anyway, the real trouble I have is that the range requires FMJ ammo ONLY. I was planning on shooting match ammo...

300 WinMag Can someone compare the recoil of a 300WinMag to the recoil of a 444marlin (240gr Rem loads) and 270win (130gr win loads)? I am considering getting a PSS in 300WM and would like a baseline for what I can expect from the recoil........since I HATE recoil on the bench....... Thanks, Ed

Winchester has a fairly new AA load out -- AASCL128. It's 2.75" 1oz #8 at 1350fps. We can't find the formula for the load anywhere, not even Winchester's newest reload manual has it? Anybody know the secret? Thanks, Ed

Need some Beretta experts to step up and share the "wealth". I own a 687 SP II "field". My best friend and his wife own 686 SP's each. He just got the 30" sporting model and she has the regular field model. What are the differences, besides the price aspect of these shotguns. We noticed a...

Here's my quandry.... Best friends have been hunting PD's and Gophers a bit, they both have Kimber .223's. I have my AR in .223 and a Rem 700 .270. When shot by me, using 130gr Hornady light mag ammo I can keep the 3 shots touching. Easily put them out at 200yards within the size of a...

H&K used to sell, on their website, the normal factory mags (10 round) for their guns. That feature seems to be gone now. :mad: Where in the world can I find factory mags at close to the H&K price of $37.00/mag? Also, anybody know if there is a possible barrel conversion from .40 to .45 in the...
