Because I cannot. I purchased this from a vendor at a Gunshow, neither he nor I knew what it was, but I thought it might be a P14 rear sight. I recall reading that the rear sight for the British version of the M1917 had click adjustable elevation. Alas, this sight will not fit a M1917 as the...

Heckler & Koch G36: the rifle held in all the wrong places http://www.dw.de/heckler-koch-g36-the-rifle-held-in-all-the-wrong-places/a-18402772 I found the referenced article interesting about the problems the Bundeswehr is having with the H&K G36. New material technologies have been...

I was reading the May 2013 article “Fireforming Brass” by John Barsness from Guns Magazine, and I am a bit confused by this statement: If the headspace is a little long but cases will still fire consistently, oiling the case will allow it to slip rearward without stretching. No, this...

As I understand the original Frontier load for a 45 LC was 40 grains Blackpowder. I have never been able to get near that with a solid head case and I would like to try to duplicate the original load. I think it would be fun and I have seen chronograph data that shows you can push a 255 close to...

Recently there have been lots of debates about the merits of the direct impingment gas system versus gas piston. This video shows that Colt has got a gas piston M4. http://kitup.military.com/2011/01/shot-video-colt-gas-piston-m4-with-new-folding-stock.html This is the first I have heard of...

You know a pet peeve of mine is in cold weather (like 30's and 40's) these 50 round plastic ammo boxes just shatter. In many calibers I put my pistol reloads in these things, then put those in GI 50 caliber ammo cans, and through all the bumping and bashing it takes to get to the range, these...

Anyone know about these? Seems Winchester is bringing another batch of BPCR's. http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/detail.asp?family=002C&mid=534169 Is the action different from the original M1885? Or is it the Browning action? Is a Badger barrel a good barrel? If the trigger...

Took my new 308 Win FN M70 out to the range. It shot well. The rifle is slick and smooth. The action is marked “Patrol Bolt Rifle”. This is one of the barreled actions sold by CDNN. The Hogue stock is not marked with any Winchester logos. I adjusted the trigger, and it still has some...

The Arisaka has become a collectable rifle. Back in the 60’s, and 70’s, the shooting community did not have a high opinion of the Arisaka rifle. This was mainly due to the prejudices of the WWII generation who thought poorly of the quality of Japanese products, and they heard stories of junk...

I have this ancient Bonanza powder measure. It has a tall reservoir, takes almost a pound of powder in the thing. You can fill a lot of cartridges before having to refill. Over the years I noticed that charge weights vary depending on powder height. It can be as much as a half a grain between a...

A deer with a Military surplus rifle? I was pondering this when I was thinking about the limitations of Iron Sights. I would like to know if you were using irons. I shot a spike buck at 10-15 yards with an unaltered Finnish M27 Mosin Nagant. It was getting very dusky, but I was able to see...
