    Suppressors On Handgun Stopping Power

    Don't want to start a firestorm here (Fackler vs. Marshall vs. Hatcher vs. Jello Junkies vs. Morgue Monkeys, etc.) but I came across these anecdotal observations from a Ph.D working in the Atlanta morgue on relative effectiveness of handgun loads on human bodies he sees dragged onto the slab...

    New Tikka T3- bizarre corrosion in chamber

    Just purchased a new Tikka T3 Lite today in .300 Win Mag. Come to examine the rifle closer as I'm mounting the scope and discover some weird white and brown powdery residue in and around the chamber and around where the barrel mates with the receiver -- looks almost exactly like corrosion on car...

    Rust in new stainless Tikka barrel?

    Re: Rust in new stainless Tikka barrel? I know I'm anal, but I always want to start with an absolutely clean bore (or as close as possible) with a new rifle. There'll be plenty of time for abuse and neglect later. Wipe Out has always done a good job on my other guns, usually with just one or...

    Rust in new stainless Tikka barrel?

    Re: Rust in new stainless Tikka barrel? Thanks guys, for the info. I can't find Butches so I'll try Hoppes of Protec nitro powder solvent this evening and see if that stops it. The reddish brown stain continues...almost like my rifle's having "that time of the month" troubles.

    Rust in new stainless Tikka barrel?

    I just bought a new Tikka T3 stainless in .308. Prior to taking it to the range, I'm cleaning the barrel. I'm using Wipe Out brushless foam cleaner with the Accelerator. This first patch came out with moderate powder and copper fouling, which I attribute to test firing at the factory...

    FAL slam fire?

    Re: FAL slam fire? OK, I removed the firing pin & spring from the bolt and saw it was a 2 piece firing pin from DSA -- still intact with no obvious deformations or cracks to the two piece firing pin. However, comparing it to a new and unused DSA 2-piece firing pin, I noticed that the old...

    FAL slam fire?

    Re: FAL slam fire? Thanks, guys, for all the info! As soon as I have time, I'm gonna tear the rifle down and see what is wrong, but the consensus seems to center on a firing pin problem or Federal primers. Fortunately, FALs are built like tanks and are pretty easy to work on. As memory...

    FAL slam fire?

    This is on a Springfield Armory SAR 4800, Brazilian-made (Imbel?) rifle that I got several years ago and a few years later put a DSA trigger, sear, charging handle kit, etc. on it to get rid of the thumbhole stock and legally transform it into a proper-looking FAL. Over the years it's been...

    Hunting & Fishing Best coyote calls, bait?

    We're having an influx of coyotes and coy-dogs in the neighborhood...what's the best bait and/or call to bring them within range. Would prefer bait and or a remote electronic call to bring them to a specific area of the yard with a hillside as a backstop so they can be dispatched with a .22 LR...

    Savage 93 Classic .22 mag ?

    Just wonder what opions are on these rifles. I have a Savage .22LR bolt gun without a scope -- pretty good shooter although the little banana mag seems to misfeed on the last round frequently. I like the Accu-trigger. I'm most interested in the 93 Classic that retails for @ $500 - $600. With a...
