Re: Just picked up Rem 721 300 H&H Mag Must have been in a bad mood to cut down that fine rifle. Either way, magnums do not have to always be magnums. I shoot a lot of the big boys and find a bit less powder and some experimentation, will give me some awsome combinations. The 300 H7H is a...

Re: In the market... I have a 38 Super, Combat Commander (Colt)which by most standards is a very nice example of the 1911 series. I spend more time oiling it than shooting it. At the opposite end of the extreme, I have a full size Springfield with the matte finish, standard 3 dot sights...

Re: question for the revolver crowd My 1992 Hercules reloading guide shows 7 grains as the maximum for Green Dot with a 158gr JSP in 357. The date for some of the flake powders can be elusive at times. Your reference to keyholing, I suspect may be mis-read, at least by me. I define...

Re: Bought used Armalilte AR-10 and need info Well, I talked to Armalite today and it turns out that this rifle was shipped as a stripped reciever in 2009. For better or worse, I have bought me a project. The gal at the factory, said just go out and shoot it and I will, but I want to know...

Re: Bought used Armalilte AR-10 and need info Hello ORD, The model designation is simply AR-10. It looks a lot like my Colt HBAR on steroids. Same 2 piece forearm, but flat top. I think A-2 style would apply. Not a free floated rigid tube. The barrel is not stainless, so does chrome-moly...
