    The British Sniper: A Century of Evolution (book review)

    About how much of the book deals with the WWI and WWII rifles and equipment?

    A long range Garand

    The Garand was the rifle that got me into milsurps... I was disappointed when I found out that the tales of the Garand's amazing accuracy (that still prevails) is largely due to the National Match guns and those that have specifically been accurized. Still a great gun tho. Ironically I quickly...

    Anyone installing repro pads/mount for Enfield No4?

    If I wasn't already into a Criterion barrel, Fulton pads, Payne scope bracket, NOS stock, and everything else I'd jump on that...

    7mm Mauser recommendations...

    I finally found some local... Remington 140gr. I'll see how that shoots and go from there. At most I might push this rifle out to 300 yards so I'm not super concerned about extreme accuracy with it. That of course may change after I see what it does at the range. But for now I think it'll be...

    What to look for when purchasing an M1 Garand?

    To be fair, while Hackberry in general are horrible looking stocks, I have seen a few from CMP members who refinished them into some very attractive stocks.

    1912 Steyr Mauser...

    Took possession last night of a 7x57mm 1912 Chilean Mauser... This rifle is in immaculate condition with beautiful lines. Near 100% bluing and an excellent bore with strong rifling and no import marks. Unfortunately it's not all matching (stock doesn't match the rest on the parts) but since I'm...

    7mm Mauser recommendations...

    So I have a 1912 Steyr Mauser in its original 7x57mm chambering coming in a few days. This will be the first 7mm Mauser rifle I've owned or shot. Can anyone recommend bullet weight these rifles like? Thanks.

    Scored a K11...

    Finally took possession of a Swiss K11 I ordered from Empire Arms in December... Really nice condition overall with strong rifling and a 'match grade' trigger. The bluing has faded quite a bit but looks to be more the byproduct of overzealous cleaning than anything else. The stock is in very...

    1,000 yard Diopter System

    I’ve thought about biting the bullet and ordering one of your sights... The problem is I prefer to shoot my milsurp rifles stock and I find it hard to justify dropping the $300 on a diopter sight that won’t see much use.

    Bergara HMR... B14 vs Pro?

    I’m seriously considering picking up a Bergara HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor and I have a couple of questions... 1) Does it’s ‘out of the box’ sub-MOA accuracy guarantee hold true? 2) What are the real differences between the B14 and the HMR Pro? Is the Pro with the difference in price? 3) For those...

    Well this is interesting...

    So I just got PCS’d to Rock Island Arsenal a few days ago and I just finished walking thru the museum. It’s a small museum but if you ever have a chance to walk thru it I recommend doing so. Despite its small size they have a lot of interesting variants and pieces, including the first ever 1903...
