      Forster (co-ax) press

      I purchased a Bonanza Co-Ax press in the 70s. I am still using it. Bonanza is Forester's old name. In the 70s it was a popular press for the bench rest crowd.

      Italian Garands?

      IO Economy Sporter AK-47

      IO has a poor reputation for its rifles and customer service. I wouldn't spend much to improve the rifle. Anything you purchase to correct the problem will probably need to be fitted. With a close inspection, you may be able to see what needs adjustment for a better fit.

      I keep having to snake the kitchen drain?

      Boiling water will help melt grease out of the drains. Pour a few gallons of boiling water with some dish soap when you are snaking the drain.

      LINEAR COMPENSATOR ?

      Linear compensators just direct the muzzle blast forward away from the shooter. They may be of some help to the shooter, but they do not reduce the actual noise level.

      What is your 1980's Loadout?

      In the early 80s, a 4" S&W M19 in an Allessi square inside the waistband holster, or if I thought I might need more a 6.5" Magnaported S&W M29 in a Jackass "Dirty Harry" shoulder holster. A S&W 469 was for more hidden carry. For long guns an HK91 and an HK512 shotgun. Later a Browning DBA 45...
