I like the FS-2000, and it rides around with me in a tennis racket bag. I was putting it back in the safe, exchanging it for something with a better range, and went to clear it. Since it's so hard to see in the chamber. I just vigorously racked it three times and seeing no brass flying about...

Working on a compact as possible 1000 yard capable AR15 type precision rifle. Here it is so far: That’s a BA barrel, MWI combat light rail, Colt M4 upper from Bromwell’s, JP bolt and carrier, S&B 5-20 ultra short and some fancy mount Gonna shoot it as soon as I find some 6mmARC ammo !! 18...

I have an Empire barreled Mauser action with a now broken bolt stop. I need to find a gunsmith that can fabricate a replacement. If you know the Empire Rifle story, you know a factory replacement is impossible. I'd also like to fit a 1913 rail in place of the proprietary Empire scope mounts...

I was with Nhenda Safari on the Cahorra Bassa Dam in Tete province, Mozambique. My brother and I hunted Croc and Hippo, taking one of each. We also took a buffalo each in RSA, near the southern end of the Kruger park. Herre is a picture of the hippo: Only a few hours later, that hippo was...

My brother was helping a friend with his new 1911, and he had a malfunction. After explaining how to clear the round, it was ejected onto the gravel surfaced outdoor range. The .45 ACP reload hit the ground and went off. The brass case was turned into a twisted piece of shrapnel, and lodged...

I have spent many months getting this right, and learned a few things I'd like to pass on. Originally, I had a fancy custom rifle in .375. I sent it off and waited 6 months for a new barrel in .416 Rem. I broke the bolt stop on the sixth round, and as the maker is now bankrupt and out of biz...

We are planning a day for about 24 British Scouts at our range. They will be in two groups, and we're planning a 2-1/2 hour shoot for each group. I've got enough help to closely supervise with 1 adult for each 2 shooters. I thought we'd shoot some ARs, some clays with 12 and 20 ga., and some...

Read the rules on political posts.

While the NFA branch seems to be grinding to a halt, the Licensing Branch has managed to renew my FFL in record time ! With an early FEB expiration, every third year I have been headed to SHOT with a nearly expired license. I have been issued many extension letters. But this year, I am headed...

So much preparation for something that has SO little chance of actually happening. The Hornady Zombie ammo is brilliant marketing, but I'm getting a little tired of being asked " Is this good for Zombies" by someone with a straight face. How about changing Zombie to Alien ? Have you seen...

Two friends and I have forever reserved some time in September to get away for some hunting and fishing. We're looking for somewhere in Canada, a few hours or so NW of Montreal or Quebec for some R&R with fishing. This is an off year trip, so we are looking to economize some. A Friday thru...

Came across Oddities on Discovery and watched for a while. What is interesting is the extremely strange patrons ! Most of them have some fixation with body fluids, are so high they can barely speak, and have names like Zoth. The negotiating skills of the owners are the poorest I have ever...

I've read about many .338 suppressors while patiently waiting on my PSR. We tried it out mounted on my DTA SRS and I am impressed. About the same as .30 cal. We all found it surprisingly quiet. Without the can, the blast is horrific. The mount would not fit on the SRS barrel without...

I received my Larue OBR (formerly OSR), with 16.1 in. barrel yesterday. I mounted a NF 2.5-10 in the Larue mount and determined the rig was roughly zeroed without adjustment by looking thru the barrel and optic while sandbagged. It is good when stuff comes out of the box, goes together, and is...
