    Hallelujah! Rem to rebarrel 597-.17HMRs

    In an apparent change of heart, Remington now offers to rebarrel 597-.17HMRs to .22WMR. To obtain a shipping label, call 1-800-243-9700, #3 when the options come on the line. You MUST have your rifle's serial number when you make the call.

Son has requested I make time to go to a range with him to conduct familiarization with the new Rock River AR I gave him for Christmas. I'd appreciate any advice, recommendations and'or...

    Score 1 & 2 on the ammo front

    I had to go to Memphis yesterday on buisness. Afterwards I dropped into a nearby Dick's Sporting Goods. Surprise, surprise, they actually had American Eagle 9mm Luger (115 gr., FMJ) on the shelf. Pocketed the limit of 5 boxes (50 rds. each) immediately and sang a happy tune all the way home. Now...
