The M1911 .45 pistol is my favorite and I have taught many people to shoot it quite well. Two of my M1911's are target pistols; one built by James Clark, Shreveport, La. many years ago and another by a friend who resides in Monroe, La. Both excellent shooters. I have one Colts MK IV Series 70...

old school of thinking and I'm training my 7 year old grandson as to how to shoot with iron/aperture sights! Bought him a .22 Chipmunk rifle which is made by the Rogue Rifle Company of Lewiston, Idaho and he's doing quite well with it after about 6 training sessions. It has a quite well built...

Vintage Sniper Rifles and Cartridges! Here's the ability of a cartridge that is what now???....108 years old! Yep...it's what the 'youngsters' call old and worn out! Doesn't have 'mag status' or a sharp shoulder and not squeezed down to the latest 'needle-dick' size bullet with a case that...

Yep....just a 108 year old cartridge that ain't quite dead yet. 12 shots from 1000 yards with a rifle that Jon built for me last year. Shot at 9 o/clock was my first as I missed the wind a mite! The small plate in the center is 5" diameter. https://flic.kr/p/mLJq7n https://flic.kr/p/jtxu29

The 03A3 has a sliding rear aperture sight within what is called the 'yoke' and the TM advises that when the scribe mark (at right side) on the rear aperture is AT THE BOTTOM line below the numbers listed on the right side that this is the range. The TM also advises that this may or may not be...

flat bastard file can accomplish! My 03A3 has an 'A' front sight blade which has been shooting around 10" low at 200 yards using a 8" black bull holding a 6 o/clock hold and shooting Sierra 168 HPBT using 48 grs. IMR4895 and F210M primers. I filed the front sight blade down yesterday evening...

Any of you guys got a Tech Manual on this rifle? I think the windage is either calibrated in 1 MOA per click or maybe 1/2 MOA per click. Your help would be much obliged! Thanks!

walked into a rifle shop and there was an 03A3 sitting in the rack. Asked the ole boy runnin the store.....how much? It was clean....real clean and from the looks not a 'parts rifle'! He told me $300. Told him I've got $250 in my pocket; you take it and grin and I'll take the rifle and grin! His...

Took this off another site earlier and apparently it's NOT BULL-SCHITT!! "I just spoke with the "customer service" people at Bruno's... I asked about some powder, namely H4350, H4831SC, H1000 and VV N540. His reply was to the effect that NO H4350 or H1000 till some time NEXT YEAR. Then he...

history! Gone out of business according to info received from a local supplier and as far as other components are concerned some power/primer makers are saying it will be TWO YEARS before they are caught up on DOD contracts! If an order comes in from DOD.....it goes to the head of the list!!

The damn things are just PLUMB DAMN BORING to shoot! Wherever I hold the reticle....that's where the damn bullets go! Both rifles...a 6.5x47L and the latest one in 30/06 are absolutely boring and it makes no difference what distance; 600 to 1200 yards just PLUMB DAMN BORING! Guess I'm gonna...

The nut that holds this 20" white clanger onto my mainframe plate! IMG_1638 by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr There's 12 shots on the white plate....put there by my new Beanland 30/06 and at least 6 pretty much to center; such that after a wind correction toward 9 o/clock...the 1 3/4" nut was...

I've got to drive to Texas I guess and buy Jon Beanland the best steak off a Texas steer that we can find because he's built two rifles for me the past few years and both have made me HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY as Willie Robertson would say on Duck Dynasty! I loaded up 10 rounds this afternoon using 54.5...

JB2 by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr Same build components as my 6.5x47L; just a larger cartridge and from a short session yesterday of obtaining an initial zero at 200 (firing 10 and cleaning after each round) and then going back to 600 it's gonna be a 'HAMMER'!! I decided to make this one in an...

Buddy told me he's thinking of having a 'strobe light' installed in his bedroom so it'll look like his wife is 'moving' during sex!!

As long as Jon continues to build rifles that will do this....I'd kiss his arse twice a day! 6x47JB by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr Ten shots from 1000 yards and the lower two are my first ones. I forgot to take into account the temp change from a previous session.

Yep....just plumb wore out it is! Just getting a zero with my old 30/06 target rifle today so I'll be better centered up next time! 10 rds from 1200 yards. 17 July 2012 1200 Yards 30/06 by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr

The Ole Warhorse ain't dead! I got to fire 5 rounds yesterday afternoon through my Ole Warhorse using some new Win brass that I turned the necks on this morning as I'm still checking out my pillar bedding job. This dude and load are working like a charm I must say. Load is 53.6 grs. H4350 behind...
