Can someone point me to the correct model number for the OEM mags for my Springer RO Operator in 9mm? I'm happy with the stock Metalform mags and I'd like to keep using them.
I tried ordering the mags listed as "Springfield style" from Brownells. They matched the specs on the factory mags...
The missus and I went out today and put money down on a gun safe. The one we chose tips the scales at just shy of 900lbs empty, probably half a ton loaded. We shopped a few different places, and one of the sales guys mentioned reinforcing standard flooring before installing the safe. What are...
I'm working up a load for my Garand and I need some input. I'm still in the experimentation stage, trying different components. Right now I'm working with a 165gr BTSP over Varget. My Hornady manual and the Hodgdon load data more or less agree for a general .30-06, with a max load 49.4gr...
I'm taking a class on firearms forensics just for kicks. The professor is not just some stereotypical academic. He's a forensic entomologist by trade, and owner of more than a few toys whose safety switches go all the way to "fun", but he was giving some bogus info during our last class. I...
The Journey
Ah, the trip itself. As AuntieBellum stated in the other thread, we started out at 8pm Thursday for the drive to Davilla, TX for a week-long Rifleman's Boot Camp. Contrary to popular belief, CMP South in Anniston, AL is on the way to Texas.:D Total driving time came in right at...
The meet-up happened right on schedule. Smooth transaction, friendly guy. He even volunteered a meet location that was much easier for me. Couldn't have asked for a better sale.
SOLD
I'm forced to part with some stuff since I killed my car. Up for sale here is a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro in 9mm. The Pro series of this pistol is equipped with a 5" barrel, fiber front sight and serrated rear sight, 17+1 round capacity, and interchangeable back straps. Link to factory...
Well, I blew my car's engine this week so I guess its time to clean out the safe. Up for sale is a Remington 700 Varmint SPS chambered for .223. 26" heavy barrel, 5 round fixed internal magazine, very accurate gun. Link to factory product page. This particular rifle has about 200 rounds...
Appleseed's national campaign to raise awareness of the program has landed two billboard ads in Terre Haute. These were announced yesterday afternoon so AuntieBellum and I headed down to snap some photos. I encourage people to find an excuse to be in the area so you can check them out for...
Of course, I could just as easily title this thread "Why I don't trust my wife with my checkbook while she's recovering from surgery". Or even "Why look, yet another Mosin thread!" I came home Tuesday after work to find a big, long box on the kitchen table with a bow on top. I open it up to...
A little long, but I'm sore, pumped, happy and a little cold (not only Appleseeding but camping out for the weekend too at lovely Mirror Lake State Park near Wisconsin Dells):
AuntieBellum and I took our first Appleseed in Wisconsin at the invitation of an old friend, also...
An invite from an old hunting buddy has finally gotten me off the couch and heading to an Appleseed. I've been doing my best to read up on it on a few forums (INGO, ARFCOM, and Appleseed to be specific) and I've come across several references like "I wish I'd practiced my positions before I...
These photos came through my work email today from our location in Lansing, MI. I'm not sure where the trip started but apparently the owner is going to attempt the haul to Colorado. They sure don't build cars like they used to. Anyone want to try this with a late model Impala or Chrysler 300?
I've been thinking for a while about drinking the 1911 kool aid but don't have a bundle to spend. I'm looking for a full-size model of decent quality that will be mostly a range queen and maybe get me off the couch and into the occasional steel match or other competition. My budget is $900ish...
I haven't seen it in the papers, but a truck stop in Gary on Grant St. was robbed at gunpoint last Friday. No shots were fired, and I considered keeping this on the d/l but there's some good object lessons here for those who carry valuables and maybe some food for thought on what you might do...
Turns out a very large majority of Americans are really, really, pi$$ed at the way Fed.gov is being run. Who'da thunkit?
