I was sitting on the M60E3 position over watching the Main gate of Sheik Isa AB on Bahrain. Everything that was flyable took off about 2300. 0200 the loudspeaker came to life with "This is not a...

If you shoot a live round through the BFA you will not blow up the gun if the gun is externally BFA'd. You will destroy the BFA and maybe damage the front sight on a carbine or the barrel threads on...

The only time you should really ever need a small base sizing die to use in a garand is if you are using once fired brass that had been fired in a MG like the 1919. Otherwise a standard full length...

Bought a repro one(described as repro) form Numrich and am very happy with it.

Thank you rick

Would the 03 have been shot with the sight hood on or was it removed before firing the weapon?
Mack

Simple you want to raise the strike of the round Correct? You are out of clicks to raise the strike of the round Correct? File the front sight post down until it hits where you want it to.

Sounds like you maybe snapped either your sear spring or sear itself. Take the lock out of the stock and as you pull back the hammer you should see the sear trying to go first into the half cock then...

If you are loading max charges try a middle of the road charge with those powders and see how you do.

JB,
This was privi 150 gr FMJ.

Picked up a No 4 Mk 1 dated 1943 last year muzzle was good, cartridge does not fall to rim when dropped in the chamber. Problem is when I shot it at 50 yds ( to see where on paper it was) the shot...

If you order the maximum amount allowed instead of just a pound then the shipping and hazmat fees are very reasonable. I buy mine when I go to winchester VA from the back creek shop right outside the...

I would load it like Pyrodex by using a volumetric measure. Set the grain weight for what you want, fill then tap once to level then dump into the case. I would not weigh the charges like BP. I gave...

How about using aluminum foil? Its what some in the N-SSA use to wrap the round ball for smoothie shooting. You could put some lube in the foil and then the buckshot and ram it down as a cartridge....

I have 2 of the R&D converters for uberti 1858 rems. They really turn the 1858 into a hand cannon. I use a 250 grain big lube bullet behind 30 grains of 3f. I do not have an ejector of the 1858's and...

Lar,
Unless you used a filler to compress the load that is why you got the amount of fouling you did. BP needs compression to burn in the cleanest most efficient manner. You would also find that...

The .45 Colt becomes a problem in rifles but not in pistols when Black powder is used. The case does not seal well in rifle chambers and you get more fouling from the BP than you would using say a...

Minies probably will not work as the rifling will be too deep on an inline and you end up loosing accuracy due to gas leakage. Better bet would be to find sabots and shoot pistol bullets out of it....

There are certain dates in everyones life that they remember for various reasons, good or bad. Today is one of those days for me. We had been at Sheik Isa AB on the Island of Bahrain since August...

1988 Boot camp at Parris Island the pistol I Fam fired was the 1911. Went to Desert Storm 2 years later O's and SNCO's were carrying M9's.

I picked up an 1895 chilean short rifle that has the ears on the front sight. My question is it shoots very far to the left at 50 yds. How do I change the windage?
