    Hunting & Fishing 270 win - Elk

    My "Go To" elk rifle is a Model 70 Featherweight 270 using Hornady InterBonds. Dont think they are made any more. When I run out I'll probably go to their 145 gr ELD-X

    Rounds failing to penetrate winter clothing

    My father fought in the Pacific (Burma) and Korea. He loved the carbine. in Burma he said you could seldom see past 25 yards anyway. I love my CMP Underwood, and shooting it in the CMPs carbine matches I find them to be quite accurate. My father told me that the difference in weight of...

    Newly found M1 Garands

    If it were me, I'd send it to the CMP Armorers. I've seen their work while attending the Advanced Maint. Clinic. Not only are they the best , but their guarantee is second to none.

    Newly found M1 Garands

    Barrel life is pretty good. My first Garand was made in Aug '41, I'm not sure how many rounds were fired through it before I got it, but I've fired thousands. When running Sniper Schools for the Guard using M1C/Ds, I'd take it out and shoot it until the sap was melting from the handguards...

    1903 Weaver/Scope Mount

    The 'A4s used the Redfield Mount. After mounting the base you just need to find the right height Redfield or Leopold Rings that fit the diameter of your scope.

    Then and Now

    Yes a switch blade. I really dont know how many were made, or what happened to them. This one was given to my by our supply clerk. I saw one in an antique store years ago but it was a lot worse shape then mine.

    Hunting & Fishing Who here hunts with their designated precision rifle?

    Well, maybe not a Precision Rifle, but a few years ago I bought a Mann Device from the CMP Auction Sight. Its an 18 inch heavy 1/5 inch Kart Barrel on a Remington 700 Action in 5.56. For those who don't know, the Mann Device is the device the Army issues to ammo suppliers to test military...

    Hunting & Fishing Solid 243 hunting rifle for a new hunter

    I'm a huge fan of the 243 for deer/antelope size animals. I dont have one since I use a 257 Roberts in a Win Featherweight but I built one for my wife. She broke her back and has three rods between her shoulder blades and cant take a lot of recoil. I had to find her a rifle. I had a Model...

    Cmon, you know you want to buy this......

    When I was running the AK NG Marksmanship unit I obtained several service grade M14s to issue to the Unit Marksmanship teams to practice for try outs for the State Rifle Teams. Many came with the Full Auto set ups. We took them out for a little fun. On full auto you couldnt hit crap. They...

    Win 75T is vintage

    I tried my Weaver T-10 in Small Bore on my H&R Model 5200 (M12). Wasn't impressed so it went on my Model 70 300 WM 1000 yard Any-Rifle/Any Sight Rifle. For glass for my H&R I used a 24 X Remington Scope. The Remington is similar to the Unertl in mounting but I modified mine a bit . With that...

    Vintage .22LR pistol?

    I ran the AK NGs Marksmanship unit for years. We had several of those High Standards. Old as they were, they were shooters. Some shot ever well as good as our M 41 Smiths. I had a chance to buy one but I opted for the HS Victor. The Victor is a shooter but its has to have the original...

    Gunwerks

    My wife wanted to improve her long range hunting skills but I'm not a fan of husbands teaching wives to shoot so I sent her to the Gunworks school. She cant take much recoil from having broken her back and has three rods between her shoulder blades so she wanted to use her Model 70 243. They...

    Hunting & Fishing Halibut

    I use to take a 14 ft Jon boat with a 15 HP motor to Anchor Pt. (Near Homer) during the King Run. Anchor Pt is where Cook Inlet sweeps around from Homer to Anchorage. I would mooch for halibut and would catch both, Kings and Halibut just by drifting with the tied relatively close to shore...

    In the CNGB Matches we shot those targets at 50 Ft. They represented the D combat targets at 100, 200, 300, & 400 yards. These targets fired with the M261 sub cal devices were used in Qualification for guard units in the winter or those not having access to ranges. As I mentioned before most...

    Win 75T is vintage

    The orginal Model 75 consisted with a blade front dovetailed into the barrel and a Lyman 57E aperture rear. Interesting note: The M-75 continued in use until 1993. Odd. Ass I said I ran the Alaska National Guard Marksmanship Unit. We had 75s (as well as others). I retired in '92 and idiot...

    100 Years ago today

    I dont know about conserving ammunition, but I use the heck out of the magazine cut off on my Springfields. Its perfect for dry firing for rapid fire. I even use it in slow fire where single loading is required. I always use the cut off on my M1903A4. Single loading is required in Vintage...
