    In my first stint of Army service in the mid sixties, I carried the full auto M-14. Loved it on semi, couldn’t hit anything on auto. Just a waste of precious ammo. I own one today as a M1A in...

    I have a Fn-Fal in inch pattern. The mags I bought years ago are metric. My question is: Can one open up the lips of a metrics mag so it locks up better. Thanks

    The dark charcoal lie finish is magnesium phosphate. The light gray finish is zinc phosphate. When and why the change over, don’t know. My issued M-14 was magnesium phosphate.

    I think ‘machine pistol’ or ‘sub machine gun’ would be a better fit. A machine gun shoots a rifle cartridge. I owned what I thought was the smallish machine gun, the H&K model 51 (Fire Dragon) in...

    Headspace gauges for P17?

    Can one use the M1 Garand headspace gauges for the P17? My P17 bolt closes on the ‘no go’ gauge and I’m somewhat concerned. Thanks

    I purchased both the .45ACP and 9mm. I fired a couple of hundred round thru both to break them in. No issues whatever. The .45 required a strong hand. Other than that, I’m a happy camper.

    It’s .30-06 right? A no go in a M1A unless I’m wrong. I would think collector ammo. Collectors love this stuff. I’ve love to have just the box for my WW2 ammo.
