The truth is that there was a big back and forth about him being rude and crass to newcomers for no good reason. Sugarcoat it any way you want but that is what happened. It would not have been tolerated otherwise but there was some feeling he should get special treatment. I am sure that he did not ...

I currently own four M1 Rifles and one M1A. I don't think the M1A was out all last year, but I take one of the M1 Rifles to the range almost every outing. M1A is a great weapon, but there's something intangible about the M1 Rifle that compels me to take one to the range time and again.

If you want a decent reliable shooter that won't break the bank, look at Rock Island Armory's GI M1911A1 clone. It has gray/green phosphate finish, and if you put on a pair of brown plastic grip panels it's as close to an M1911A1 as you can get, except for the sights which are better than those on t...

The 16 Ga is often referred to as the "sweet 16" for a reason. It's a bit more than the 20 ga, yet not as potent as the 12 ga, and for some game it's perfect. In the 70s and 80s the 16 almost went extinct but it's made a comeback and the gauge has a hardcore following among birders and sma...

I like low-cost reactive targets. Claybirds standing on edge propped up by short sections of scrap 2x4, on the 25, 50, and 100 yd berms. I shoot handguns at 25 and 50 yds. Also empty plastic bottles and bowling pins, and dark spots in berms, rocks, or dirt clods. I like to see where the shots go whi...

I've replaced the ejector spring in two Rossi/Braztech 92s and one Ranch Hand, all 357s, in the past two months.

The front sight dovetail on one of my Rossi 92s was too wide for a standard front sight post, so I just painted the brass bead white using appliance white touch-up paint. Works just like an ivory bead for me.

He gave it to me around 1963 when I was 9 or so, and I've fired probably 20,000 22LRs through that gun that I can account for. Boringly accurate and always reliable, it remains a wonderful example of one-time inexpensive, qu...

Tell him to make sure the triggerguard screws are tight. Tighten the front one first. Loose guard screws will cause accuracy issues.

Noah Zark

My mild load for 45-70 for the past 30+ years has been 13.5 gr of Unique under a 400 gr cast bullet. Remarkably accurate, no recoil, and significantly reduced report, yet still enough juice to take a whitetail.

Going rate is $650 to $800, WHEN YOU SEE THEM.

My 1894M is incredibly accurate. The one time I put it on paper I got a 0.82" three-shot group at 100 yds, measured with a Mitutoyo digital caliper.

13 to 13.5 gr of Unique under a 400 gr cast bullet is what I use in my Pedersoli Sharps, two H&R repro Trapdoors, and my Marlin Cowboy. From bags on the bench, I've made 1.5" groups with that load and bullet.

Olyinaz nailed it.

The secondary bayo lug IS a dead giveaway for Spanish 43 Mausers, as is the rectangular plate inletted in the left side of the butt for the rear sling mount. That plate is kept in place by a pin in the stock that's hidden by the buttplate.
