Mustang,
SIR, you ask very proper questions! WHY do we need a new round and a scope? A scope has LIMITED applications: it is ok for a sunny day long range head, or body, shot. What happens when that...

In the next war, a $10,000 rifle and scope for each soldier is not realistic. As I posted before, in 1913 the Brits wanted to drop the rimmed .303 for a new rifle and cartridge. WWI...

Larry,
Well said! You said what I thought better than I could and I hate to type. LOL. You should be writing a regular column in a gun magazine. I read all your stuff.
Be well.

As a fellow veteran, I find this picture very powerful. I hunted deer in NH in the 1980s with a WWII veteran of the 10th Mountain Division.

Guys,
In my humble opinion, the corporate office leaders decided about 50-60 years ago to push the 12 and 20 gauge guns and ammo. The 16 gauge was left behind and that is reflected in the sparse...

The Military "Intelligence" has always been geared up to fight the LAST War. Most soldiers today could not hit their foot. The .303 British Round soldiered on for 45 Years after 1913...

With a 50-yard Ground Zero , I suggest a 12 gauge and #4 Buckshot. Tuck the horses in and wait patiently. I control all problem critters on my 60 acres in the nighttime and have no critter...

Did the NH house have a history of flooding? What did the vault company have to say about a flooded vault?

Battis,
I lived in NH for 26 years and many houses have wet basements and sump pumps. You said your son's vault was in his basement, which is a bad place to ever put a gun vault. I preserve all my...

Very nice rifle. I have a fondness for the 6.5MM and have many. I hope your quest renders a nice hunting companion for yourself. 6.5s Forever.

I have not ever seen a 16 gauge on the used gun rack at my LGS since I retired in 1996. I put the word out to have the shop owner call me in case a 16 gauge ever shows up. Happily, my wife in 1985...

Very interesting project; may I ask why you want a subsonic Russian round in an M1891 rifle? IF this is a "spook" operation, then I understand. LOL.

Glad you were at the right place at the right time! I needed to do that a few times due to my wife's swallowing issues. A timely video, thank you.

What powder charge are you using and how do the capsules pattern at 10 feet and 25 feet? I had mixed results with capsules for the last 35 years in the .38 Special, .357, .41M and .44...

Thanks for the reply. When I say "blowdowns", I am not talking twigs or good-sized branches. I mean trees. Anyone heating with wood needs a woodstove, chainsaw, splitter, fuel,...

In 1988 I bought my rural PA 60-acre farm. In 1996, I retired and took up residence on my land. I have 30 acres of hardwoods and an endless supply of firewood. The windy days provide me all the...

What is the weight in grains of the 314299? I could run upstairs to my library, but chose not to. LOL. I cast the Lyman #311410 130 grain plain base boolit in my SKSs.

porthos,
The military has its own agenda. I was issued an M1 Carbine in 1962 and later in 1965 a Mattel 16. Any student of high school physics knows a 110 grain projectile at 1900 FPS is Less...

My several Pre-1916 MkIIIs with windage adjustable rear sights are easy to click adjust. Why would anyone need to remove the sight to adjust windage?

Excellent Post! YES, the M1917 needed a windage adjustable rear sight. In 1916, the British brain cells dropped the Windage Adjustable rear sight from the MkIII Rifle, creating the...

WOW! You really are pushing the .45 ACP loads hard to get 1100 fps! I hesitate to recommend any Unique charge. I say go with what is in published reloading manuals. Also, I suspect the cast...
