I run 26" right now , with the proviso , that I can always cut it later on . As I learn the magic number for re-loading what "she" likes . Instead of the old : Crap ! I cut it three times , and it's still to short .

Didn't even consider anything but a Timney when I built my 43 Izzy M-N / Archangel. Rode over to the factory about three miles away and picked it up . They reset it from 3 1/2 lbs , down to 2lbs while I waited . About fives minutes . It "breaks" same way every time . Love it .

Bolt gun . And for those that understand ....No explanation is necessary . For those who don't ? No explanation will suffice . And my own personal opinion is that if you are 800 mtrs. out , and can't run a bolt to re-load , then maybe your "hide" isn't as good as you thought . Gas does have...

I agree with those who think the Dragonov is the most beautiful rifle ever created , and to those who think the Russians make "Ugly stuff" , I'll bet you'd think it's even uglier ......from the wrong end , lookin . Like the line from the old rock & roll record . "Yeah , she ugly . But she sure...

It was explained to me on another "Site" that there are no actual "set" standards for OAL from manufacturer to manufacturer , and I would be more concerned about case length . If case length is good , you can press them down to fit your mag , or single-feed them . Since I'm a M-N shooter ...

Sorry Slick . Can't let this go without a response. Your bias to modern "tech" is only exceeded by your arrogance of trying to compare a .30 cal 123/4 grn round with a muzzle velocity of around 2300 fps. to a B.B. at 4,200 fps... Really ? I notice you didn't respond to my comment regarding...

I've watched plenty of good young shooters with their big-buck rigs , punchin out fantastic groups on a piece of paper , but those same fine outstanding young marksmen get that deer in the head-lights look when they "think" they have a "real" human target down range. Used to call it "Buck Fever"...

Started shooting a pistol at age 11 . A Ray Shockey custom 1911 owned by my Father for NRA Target comp. My Instructor / Father won ive Natl. Championships and was a Grand Master. He sent me a Ps9 H&K to carry in Nam , and I've used Berretas , also . But when it comes to the defense of my...

Apologies to anyone who mis-understood my comment as I was speaking from my own in-country experience . I received a 5.56 round , delivered by a member of the Peoples Forces (V.C.) from a American made M-16 , A-1 E model at approx. 530 meters . The round went through two layers of camo jungle...

One of the main points of relevance to this discussion that has "Not" been discussed openly is the original question ? "Are all the bells and whistles necessary" ? Those on both sides of the debate have offered positions to justify their thinking , and most of the points were valid in...

What a "Maroon" ! I absolutely love it when people underestimate the capabilities of both my "antique", (not really) and the old grey-haired guy takin it out of the case . Wonder if Mr. Super-expert would like to be on the "receivin" end of my Non-sniper at about 7-800 mtrs. Maybe it would...
