    M-1 Garand "dimples."

    I just received a Service grade M-1 from the CMP but it has been over 10 years since I fiddled with a Garand. I field stripped and cleaned the rifle and hand cycled a clip through the gun (safety on of course). Everything seemed fine until I started reloading the clip and noticed every one of...

    Off topic... Mayweather vs. McGregor

    Mayweather vs. McGregor who will win? The odds are crazy for Mayweather to win... most of the pundits are forecasting a first round KO by Mayweather. If mcGregor wins, the bookies will make a killing of millions and the casinos will lose big time... My prediction is McGregor will win...

    ITAR license

    A few weeks ago we were told that if you were a gunsmith and drilled and tapped a rifle for a scope mount, you needed a ITAR $1,250 license. There were people claiming their businesses were destroyed and they were bankrupted by this new requirement. Question??? How many gunsmiths that you...

    Takedown hole in Mauser stock

    A silly little question... I have a junk, cutdown, Turkish Mauser stock that I am experimenting with. Is it possible to remove the metal in the bolt takedown hole without ruining the metal or the stock? I have uses for both.

    Reloading .357 rifle ammo

    I have a Ruger 77/.357. My questions are: 1. Can I use Small Rifle Primers instead of magnum pistol primers? I am using H-110 behind jacketed 140 and 158 bullets. 2. Does anybody have a real kick ask .357 rile load for pigs in heavy cover?

    Question about an old murder case...

    I am not sure this is the proper forum for this question or not, but here goes anyway. Back in about 1980 I was traveling North on I-55 in the bootheel of Missouri. I noticed a silver Ford Granada stopped on the right shoulder of the north bound lane. Just as I passed the vehicle, a young...

    Norinco PSO-1

    I saw an interesting .22 auto pistol at the range the other day. I did not get as close a view as I would like but it apparently is some sort of Chinese knock off of a target pistol. The only markings I saw was Norinco PSO-1, .22LR. It had a 10 rd mag, and a 6 inch barrel with a really odd...

    I had a fatal encounter this morning...

    It was about 4:30 AM when my resident yapper really went off. He usually will only growl at mice and things, bark a little at other small animals, and really goes crazy on deer, humans, and unknown vehicles. This time he was climbing the wall. I thought he was going having a stroke. Anyway...

    Two binoc questions???

    I have 2 old 8X30 German military Hensoldt/Wetzlar binocs. One pair has fairly good "rubber" lens covers, the other one's covers have apparently dried out and been removed. The other pair has a reticle in the right side with azimuth marks at 0, 10, 20, etc and 1/2 marks at 5, 15, etc. The...

    Live pigeon shoots??

    I have read about shoots that used live pigeons instead of clay pigeons. There was a name for this "sport." It was portrayed in John Ross's book UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. Do these "events" really exist today?

    Caliber change?

    My local SOT tells me I should NOT mount a 9MM upper on my form 4 registered lower because on the form at box 4c "CALIBER, GAUGE OR SIZE (specify)" says .223. At the same time he tells me it is OK to go to a 14.5" barrel or collapsible stock even though block 4e/f lists the barrel length of 20"...
