JBS, with rifles in good or average condition, you will not see this short stroking due to insufficient recoil because they have enough gas pressure send the bolt smartly into the heel of the...

The answer is right here in this manual, "INSUFFICIENT RECOIL". A substantial amount of recoil can be absorbed by a loose hold, and cause a failure to feed, just as it can in another weapon some of...

A Garand in new condition cycles the op rod very vigorously, and on rebound it will usually strike a fired case as it is ejected, launching it forward. Brass marks will show on the oprod shoulder...

I built a scout with one of those mounts on a 7.62 Garand. I used a Burris 10X EER which is no longer available on the Garand. The eyepiece of the scope was over the receiver ring. I built another...

You can have an excellent,light and safe trigger by installing a new post-war GI hammer and trigger and hammer and trigger pins. It is best to have access to several of each hammer and trigger to...

My local range has a contract to qualify MSC (Military Sealift Command) crews on M14 type rifles and the range must supply the rifles. They recently bought some new Springfield Inc. M1As and one...

All the three point mounts will loose zero sooner or later because the receiver "squirms" at each shot. Most will not mount close to zero because the clip slot dovetail tolerances are not that tight...

I had Ted Brown of Shooters Den put a new Krieger heavy barrel on a new LRB receiver for me. It was indexed correctly, yet still shot off to the right by 12 inches at 100 yds. This puts the front...

I had the Amiga Ranges (same as CMP) on a Garand with a 10X IER Burris scope and it was great. These are only for normal contour barrels on either the M1 or M14, and the 10X Burris has been...

About the 7.7 Arisaka: I had a friend, now dead, who told me he had a 7.7 Arisaka shortly after WWII and that .300 Savage fit right in and worked fine. He then reloaded the fire-formed cases. No...

Lee Marvin was very happy to have us with him, but did get quite angry at tourists who pestered him for autographs. He was the same guy you see in his movies. He didn't have to act, he was genuine.

The first little run I made on the USS Tiru (SS416) after reporting aboard at Pearl in June of 1967 was over to Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. We anchored out in the harbor and a motor...
