    Suppressors Pistol Can

    Alright the pistol in question is a Taurus PT24/7 (i like them) in 40 SW. My deal is if you take it apart the barrel can get stuck in the slide kind of easy and I can't see how its possible to get a longer threaded barrel for a can. At this point in the subject I must admit I have never owned a...

    M40A3 untalked about spec

    When it comes to the M40A3 (or the A1) you can find most if not all specs through some research on Wiki, Texas Brigade, GAP, or here.

    Advanced Marksmanship New Range?

    Hey all, where I am from there is really no ranges to go shoot at long range. The longest range within three hours is 200 yards and to shoot farther than that I have to wait till a pasture is cleared where I practice out to 500 yards. Because of this I am considering buying land and building a...

    Gunsmithing Re barreling with a Schneider

    I recently purchased a Schneider M40 barrel and they come blank meaning it is rifled and has its contour but it needs to be cut to length crowned and most importantly, threaded and chambered for my action. Here is my question: if it is threaded and chambered to my action do I need to have my...
