Sounds like they copied that warning from Glock.

You can get the carbine config. for defense or plinking. You can get a bull barrel flattop and hunt varmints with it. You can load appropriately and hunt small deer with it. You can put the appropriate upper on it and shoot NRA highpower rifle, you can put a larger bore upper on it such as .50 Beowu...

It seems to me that there is overwhelming evidence that gun control at best does nothing and at worst actually increases crime. Therefore any politician in favor of gun control either has their own agenda that is not in the public's favor or they are exceptionally dumb. In my opinion no matter how a...

While Zeiss/Leica/Swarovski may be the best, some of the better Nikon and Pentax models were said to be "just as good" but 1/2 or 1/3 the price. But if a person can afford the best and will use them for a lifetime, then go for it. Anyway, I'm cheap so I ended up getting one of the better P...

I'll vote for whoever is running against Hillary Obama, no matter who they are. I can't think of how they could possibly be worse than H O.

My daughter's church had a similar race for boys and girls alike. So I helped her build several cars. They had a category for the teachers and leaders so I built a car a couple of years. There are a lot of people that get deep into the science and technology of building these cars, and every little ...

I can't understand why they discontinued them.

For tools like knives and spears, you have to determine what the use is and then reach a compromise between hardness and ductility. For instance if you take a piece of coathanger, you can bend it into a sharp bend and it will not break, and it will be fairly easy to bend. But if you tried to sharpen...

Some of them are in various ebook formats, that can be read on your PalmPilot or PocketPC.

There are other sites where you can buy ebooks to read. I kind of like having the real thing though.

The .45Colt is lots of fun, and very overlooked and underrated. It is great fun no matter what you are interested in, if you are using an appropriate gun for sure. 1. You can plink with cowboy loads. 2. You can bump your loads up to 800-900 fps for plinking, or even for hunting. 3. You can load JHP'...

Be aware of where the bore line is, take care when setting up and don't get in a hurry, you'll do fine.

As for a "test", I've wondered the same thing. Seems that a .22LR would be a good test.

I seem to remember that JP enterprises offers good single stage triggers.

I think the stock 10/22 is a pretty good looking little carbine.

I remember that Ruger made a few special models long ago with different stocks. IIRC the International was one of them, I don't remember what the one was called with the standard length forearm.

Is bronze wool easy to find at a good hardware store, not a HomeDepot but maybe an ACE hardware or TruValue hardware?

That is totally unacceptable behavior. The odds would be high that someone else on the range would point it out to him very clearly. At any range where I've been, you do not TOUCH the guns while the range is not clear. Most ranges will not let you fool around at the bench while people are downrange....

I would use something heavier than 158 grains. I would choose hard cast first. If I couldn't find those I would go for FMJ, then soft point, and hollow point last.

I think .375's are usually .375 or real close, but .38-55's are likely to be .378 or bigger.

I read it about 16 years ago. I bought a new NIV bible and in the back it had a schedule of what to read each day in order to read it all in a year, so that's what I did.

definitely frowned upon here in the big city.

If I was out in the boonies I might do it occasionally, if for no other reason than to rebuke those unenlightened by Hatcher that claim it is dangerous.

92 and 94 Leverguns in .45Colt usually do well with Ruger-only loads. I always thought a Ruger-only load with WW296 and 250 XTP's would be a great load for deer.

BTW, DO NOT do this with 73 and earlier levergun designs.

I always thought an M1 carbine would be great fun with a scope on it. I guess nowadays you can just get a short AR15 and put a scope on it.

You guys mention "officers" as 3" but IIRC the Colt Officers were 3.5" guns. About the question though- personally I prefer the Commander size, and when I say Commander I mean full size gripframe and 4.25" barrel, no shorter. I've held 4" guns such as the Kimbers and th...

I've seen cast 340's do very well out of a 24" .45Colt 1894CB.

I wonder if they'll bring back the Cowboy versions...

94CB, 336CB, etc.

Hello DavidF, your address says Midlothian. I seem to remember an Alpine shooters supply that is between you and FortWorth. I googled them and found that their shooting range is still there. You might call them and see if they still sell reloading supplies. I'm in the Dallas area. You could bring yo...

Marlin 1895CB
Marlin 336CB
Winchester XTR .356
Winchester 1886 octagon barrel/full mag tube, .45-70

Out of a rifle barrel you can get impressive velocities, especially in a strong gun. (Don't try this with an 1873 or similar toggle action.) In fact the result is about the same as you would get from a .454Casull handgun. The .45Colt gets a lot of attention with heavy cast bullets, but for deer I wo...

I started shooting back in the days when Herrett and Millet (?) were inventing and using their pair of cartridges. I don't recall why they shortened the .30-30 but I would guess that they thought the powder capacity was too much for the 10" barrels that they liked. Once IHMSA got going lots of ...

Position of sights relative to bore doesn't matter that much, but trajectory does. Consider a case where you have a high trajectory, maybe a black powder rifle shooting at long distance. The barrel is pointing up with respect to the line of sight. The bullet goes up, then comes back down and hits th...

I started seeing his grips on ebay a few years ago. He makes grips from materials that are more commonly used on custom knives than on guns. They are great looking grips and I like the variety of materials. I referred him to one of the shooting forums but after a few people were less than kind to hi...

BTW, I've used rubbing alcohol to take the tree gunk off of my paint.

The "drilled" part reduces the value somewhat. Otherwise someone would probably have hit the "buy it now" already.

These days it is almost always a Glock 23. I remember walking through a gun show many years ago, and handling the first mid-size Glock I had seen. I decided it was perfect for camping- sizewise and weightwise. Other things I like about it are that it has good capacity and one spare magazine provides...
