Old School

And here is my question....How do we get firearms into the other 59% of the households?

OMG Sierra Match Kings are killer bullets. But sierra told me not to use them on game because they wouldn't expand. What a bunch of NJ Bull Shit!

Why do you NEED an assault weapon?

Paul - Totally agree. Yes training is good. But mandatory training should NEVER preclude your right to self protection. Oh BTW I live in South Merica... Little known fact...In SC the Castle Doctrine extends to your vehicle. By statute you can carry a loaded firearm in your console or glove box. NO permit No training.

Well Christopher, you are developing some nice skills.

All good answers but have one problem with all of them. Range. I don't know the layout of anyone's home but range is a deciding factor. As Griz said and correctly so, you can figure on 1" of pattern per yard. So your hallway is 20' and that's a long hallway... You get a little over 6" of pattern. You throw 7/8oz of #6 or 7 1/2 birdshot at a bad guy in a 6" circle that's nasty. And that's a low recoil load that won't over penetrate..

Failures to eject are a product of timing the ejection cycle, Too much spring means not enough distance in cycling to eject (not your problem), Too little spring means your slide is bouncing off the frame and returning before the case has cleared the ejection port. First step in an old gun, fresh recoil spring.

Nicky- It was "Snob Appeal" Your rifles didn't like cheap mags. They thought they deserved better. OS

Nicky - I have loads of Stoner mags and you know I shoot. Yep had the lips spread on one over the years that's it. Never had a problem.

I have a load of 15 rounders I'm going to dump. Most are brand new in wrapper. Shoot me a PM

Where's Paul (PK90) when you need him? I thought I heard (could be wrong) after 90 days of closing all records destroyed.

Nicky - Isn't this all F@(%ing wonderful...LOL

OMG John ... Such a Ninja.... Oh sorry I forgot you live in the hood. Does that get heavy carrying it around the house all day? Only having fun with ya buddy. That is a nice set up for walking point.

Chris - Are you going to get rid of that ugly spur hammer and replace it with a Commander style?

OK you guys.... I have one for every caliber....Take a properly sized case with the neck sized loose (so bullet can slip out w/ pressure) Drill and tap the primer pocket and insert a screw. Push the case in the chamber and slowly turn screw until you get "touch".

For the condition he is describing there is a possibility. Extractor is the first place to look. But if it checks out you need to go elsewhere, Generally the "cases in the face thing" is an ejector issue. The cases "Dribbling out" Could be the extractor. Failure to feed? Who knows. Bering an Arm chair gunsmith is a crap shoot.

You see there is a gap between the barrel and the trailing edge of the screw in choke tube. The "cup wad" expands when traveling past that gap and stacks up on the outside of the tube. Not good!

I just had one that was kicking brass into the face. I shortened the ejector to make it eject later in the recoil cycle and it worked out fine, ejecting to 4-5 oclock.

Does this have the choke tubes that screw in from the muzzle? If so...Be careful, modern wad cups may build up on the tube.

Hey Rob - Ya built that 6mmAR. Did you ever wring it out. Mine is a shooter. I just have to learn how to shoot...LOL Was out Thursday. This is 5 @ 300

Regardless of what it looks like Davis's is a country sporting goods store. When I go there, I look at what I want in the case, knowing that's all they have, and just ask for it. No problem! They always have Hodgdon stuff as the owner is supposed to be a friend of the family. Who knows? I've always been treated well, even asked me if I wanted to go behind the counter to look at mil-surp stuff. I'd never call. They're not staffed for it. Guess I'm treated well because I look like one of the Ramapo hillbillies. If you drive the Lexus up there and have the shirt on with the little alligator, forget it! Rightly so or not..... The sales people gravitate to their own kind. OOPS!!!! My bad!!! I go to the store in Monroe with the range.

243 Win is an iconic cartridge. Fast, accurate, and tough to beat. Been around for a long time. Just have to watch your twist. And I mean measure your barrel. What you see is not always what you get and it makes a difference. Loads of bullets offered with an excellent BC. What does this mean? Less doping on your part. Yep Chris, I do well with a stock (just bedded) Savage. But I work hard at it too. Match the end of this month and I have to get my ass in gear. I insist on shooting my 6mmAR and Buddy Pete says I'm crazy "shoot the Savage 243 numb nuts" Barrel burner? Got that reputation years ago. Today's barrels are much better than the older steel. There is always a cost associated with performance.

There is no gas tube on a G3 pattern rifle. That tube holds the charging handle assembly. It is delayed roller blow back.

Hey Raz - I agree. It's not the way I would want MY rifle but you are correct. Most guns I see are over gassed for mass production and reliability.
