In History Channel and in military books, they constantly refer to casualty numbers, but they never say what "counts" as a casualty! It is anything that manages to get you out of fighting the enemy? (eg, breaking your trigger finger, or catching the clap from a hooker)? Or is it only major...

On "The History Channel", the show "The Tales of the Gun" often talks about machine guns, and invariably mentions how easy/hard it is to change the machine gun barrel on that model. I understand that barrels get shot out. However what I don't understand is how often this occurs, and even more...

I saw an ad for rifle ammo in "Small Arms Review" from a company called the Maine Cartridge Company. Anyone ever do business with them? Are they on the up & up? Thanks! P.S. sorry if this is the wrong forum area; the reloading area didn't seem like the place for asking q's about buying new...

Anyone have any idea of how long the supply of service grade M1 Garands at the CMP (http://www.odcmp.com) will last? I'm trying to pace myself, but would hate to miss out by waiting too long. Thanks in advance. P.S. no, this question isn't addressed by their FAQ

Any suggestions for a sling for a Rem 700? What I'm looking for is something that will allow me to haul it around in the "Rear Carry" position (please see http://www.CQBsolutions.com/carryoptions.htm for a photo of what this looks like). This means a pretty long sling (for me anyway, since...

Has anyone taken a recent S&W (ie, less than 5 years old, but pre-sellout :D) and dry-fired the h*ll out of it, in order to smooth the trigger pull? I have a three year old 686, and for the past few days I have been double-action dry-firing it every evening (while watching TV), until I can't...

Just for fun, I'm thinking about getting a 1970's style shoulder holster (Galco Miami Classic or Jackass style), for a pre-sellout S&W 686 6" revolver. What should I do to balance the other side? (ie, I won't have extra magazines as a counterweight). And I'm trying to avoid tie-down straps...

For the cost of a postage stamp, you can get two free 5-rd mini-14 factory mags mailed to you directly from Ruger. All you have to do is write a short letter to: Sturm, Ruger, & Companiy, Inc. Attn: Stephen L. Sanetti Lacey Place Southport, Connecticut 06490 and tell him that the...

Harris bipods are all the rage for Rem700 PSS/VS .308 rifles. So I was amazed when The History Channel showed a special about modern snipers (out in the bush in their Ghillie suits and facepaint), and not one of them had a bipod! What's up with that? Are bipods only used for urban ops...

The discussion of buying land where you can have your own personal range was interesting. One solution to this that is considerably cheaper and more convenient than buying a goo-gob of land in a gun-friendly area is to... build your own UNDERGROUND firing range! :D Seriously. It's actually...

The best flashlight for CCW is a SureFire 9P. Man, that thing is BLINDING, yet its so tiny. Like the size of a medium carrot. :eek: This is THE FLASHLIGHT TO END ALL FLASHLIGHTS! :D Use a regular flashlight when you're outside in the dark, and you feel like you're going blind. You look...
