A couple of things to consider with the C-96. The bolt stop needs to be checked for cracks. A lot of Broomie shooters replace it right off the bat with a new one. Also a sticky action is often...

12 inch hits at 200 yards ain't bad at all. I'll almost bet if you hang a bowling pin up at 200 and get that front sight dialed in it will probably hit the pin very consistently. Once you get the...

How true - seems my cigar boxes have been busy reproducing over the years. Found it!

Bass Pro now has a museum with part of the NRA collection located there. They might be interested in having the device for their collection.

I hate to say it - but good old SOS (toast with sausage gravy) was my best meal always. It was about the only food that would stick with me.

We were issued M-16's in basic and they were brand new. I was glad because there was no drills other than present arms and shoulder arms. We were told that if any weapon was found to have a scratch...
