    Cleaning and Cooling

    I never flinched from humping an M60.... once ya figured it out... sucker was a fantastic force multiplier. Was sad to see it replaced by the M240 series LMG, but it was getting old. Did a live fire exercise one night..... had 500 rds belted together... You could light a cigarette on the flash...

    Cleaning and Cooling

    Having shot NRA High Power Rifle Silhouette, I determined that accuracy depended on 2 things. Shot #1 and Shot #5. The string of fire was 5 rds in 2.5 minutes. Hardly enough time for a barrel to cool. Plus you took a 2.5 minute break then fired another string of 5. And if it was a 60 rd...

    Tulsa

    Yeppers..... I usually have friends coming in from Arkansas, Kansas and Texas for the show. Only the Kansas folks can make it this November. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes..... 4000+ tables under a single 11 acre roof takes some walking.

    USMC98 latest kills

    Looking good..... Get enough of them.... tan the hides and make a drap-cape. You'd really blend into the country side that way.

    Car Company had a Big Hand in Making the M-16

    I also have a Remington-Rand 1911A1.... but they made typewriters...... The Singer Sewing Machine Company made a limited number of 1911A1's.... last one I saw have a $15K price tag on it.... and it was in about half the condition of my R-R.

    Range Report H&R 500 S&W

    No... the chamber is smooth..... it cleaned up quickly with a 50 cal BP mop. It just had alot of gunk in it after the 4th round. Just an abstract thought here..... maybe the low is low enough that the case is not fully expanding, thus sealing the chamber. But I have no memory of any level...

    Car Company had a Big Hand in Making the M-16

    http://www.military.com/veteran-jobs/ca ... 881&rank=1 I had one of these in the Mid-70's. It was extremely accurate all the way out to 500 yards. One aspect of the acccuracy was pointed out to me by our Battalion's Armorer. On the barrel, between the legs of the front sight was an S inside...

    Range Report H&R 500 S&W

    We knocked off early from work today and I hustled out to the range with the H&R. Shooter next to me nearly jumped off the bench when I busted the first cap. He thought it was maybe a 243 and did not notice the loaded rounds laying on the table. Anyhoo.... it took a bit but looks like we be...

    Why I carry a handgun

    Little Johnny machine gunned a bus load of nuns. His defense attorney claimed his client was not at fault because the night before the prom queen refused to dance with him. Ignore the fact he has runny, puss sores all over his face. Ignore the fact he has not brushed his teeth in 10 years...

    Why I carry a handgun

    One thing I have learned over ther years is that carrying a handgun is not empowering. The act of carrying places a heavy weight of responsibility upon the individual carrying. A handgun is simply a tool. Yes, it can be a work of art. Beautiful in form and function. But once placed into...

    Cartridges you can live without?

    As an old timer once told me.....it is better too loose the shoulder meat and drop the animal where it stands then loose the entire animal because the shot was not up too par.

    What is your favorite oddball round.

    Right now I'd have to say the 500 S&W, only because I'm playing with one. Now if the weather and Wife will give me some breathing room, I'll get on the range for zeroing and grouping tests.

    I have no idea what books may contain the information..... my knowledge came from eating at the Marine Corps feed trough for 23 years.

    Unrealistic expectations

    I have found that with very few exceptions, the rifles we buy will outshoot our abilities to shoot them.

    Colt Government .380

    General grade officers are not, by normal standards, subjected to the risk of combat like a LtColonel or below, therefore they really have no need to be armed. And very few General's have been caught dead.... they tend to survive. Anyway..... that was the purpose fo the Colt Government 380...
