About a year ago on Gunbroker, I bought an unmolested very lightly used clip-slotted 1965 Model 70 30-06 match rifle with heavy barrel. All original except for the Freeland hand stop and a set of...

Stephen Harrigan, University of Texas Press, 2019

I had good hopes for this one, having read some of Harrigan's other books and articles. Texas Monthly Magazine published several excerpts that...

For many years (you learn things in the Army you can use your whole life), I used the same LSA the army issued before the CLP came along, with no complaints. I run them "damp" but not "dripping"...

So at a vintage rifle match today, a shooter appeared with what looked to be a very nice Savage No.4, until you took a peek down the spout and saw the gawd-awful bore. To be charitable, it was a hot...

Lookit 8771, apparently it snuck out a couple days earlier.

Federal Power Shock 110-grain soft point Israeli Po-lease issue $11.49 per box of 20, and no, I have no idea how that compares to any other manufacturer's or vendor's pricing or performance, but it...

Thanks very much. No problem on the inbox; happens to everybody.

p264. I tried to private message you but you've exceeded your storage limits.

Noticed you're in Kansas; me too. Would you mind saying name and location of the store you found your revolver? ...

I've been using the 125-grain Speer TNT for almost all my 308 and 30-06 for some time now and that's pretty much my load, except for using Winchester large rifle primers. I've found they fly real...

Been thinking about my late Father today, so I'll share one of his instead of my own. It's quite long; sorry about that, Chief!

When I bought my first M1 Carbine (a Quality Hardware), Daddy...

This thread hasn't had any activity for a while so I thought to resurrect it.

After the cease fire in 1973, the military was delivering beaucoup equipment to South Viet Nam because anything they...

Well, it's by Mark Bowdon, so you'd expect the writing to be pretty good, and it is.

I thought his previous Blackhawk Down and Killing Pablo were pretty good, but this exceeds those efforts.

Art. What did Mr. Patton use for barrels for his 4" conversions?

The 4" K-framed Smith, in any caliber, is my favorite revolver. That size is "just right."

Well not strictly an assignment story, but I was already in Viet Nam when I got a letter from my father, which was unusual. He considered that to be Mother's job. Anyway, the envelope only...

Thanks for the suggestions, gentlemen.

Repops a-pleanty out there. Anybody have a source for the real deal?

For sight sets, and other stuff for the old rifles, web search for Indiana Army Surplus; they may be able to help.

If they can't, walk down the internet sidewalk to AR15.com and find the Retro...

Very nice score, that one probably would have followed me home too. If the number stamped on the grips matches the serial number of the revolver, even better.

If you post a serial number (even...

I for one am looking forward to the rewrite, but didn't fine the original especially hard to follow. Or or the premise especially hard to swallow.

I'm a big fan of these and have several. They ain't cheap but they're durable and in my experience return to zero every time. Also easy to mount a scope in them without twisting if you follow the...

While I largely agree with you on that, considering there's a hella big army just to the north of them what is run by a loon, perhaps they should gin up their own version of CMP and get those guns...

Depending upon your definition of 'super whiz-bang' you may want to consider an Autotrickler with an A&D FX-120i electronic scale. The combination is fast and accurate down to within a kernel or two...

Not available as standard perhaps but it is available from the Hornady custom shop at reasonable cost. If you will send $15 and two fired cases to Hornady, they'll make you up one. Be warned that...

That's all really good advice. IMR 8208 will also work well. Dokop mentioned 69's. I do know some folks who run 69's at 200, 77's at 300 and then 80's at the six, but I just run 77's at both 200...
