I experienced very poor accuracy with a new .243 Remington 700 in 1980. I had been a gunsmith for 4 years and though I had "it all knowed up". Changed scope, mount, ammo no change. Checked with an old shooter that asked about the trigger. I told him "can't be the trigger" ...but it was, installed a Timney and the rifle became a 1 minute grooper. Weak springs not only cause light primer strikes and slow powder burn but slow down hammer and fireing pin speed. which spoils accuracy. One of the most accurate rifles I ever had was a Remington 788 .308, the 788 has a very fast lock time out of the box.

Welcome Mike, My wife and I liked to stay in Corpus when I worked there as an Explosives and Radiation auditor.

Practice train practice train I see a much better sight picture with a medium width square flat top black front sight in daylight and the bright round dot nights sight. I doubt that a more thin blade will help. Remember your eye can only focus on one point at a time. I focus on the front sight let your eye look through the rear sight aquire the target and sit it on top of the front post. Speed of aquireing the sight picture will increase with practice even dry fire helps me. I hope this makes sense. I do a lot of point shooting practice shooting. Using a lazer training pistol of the same configuration as I shoot it is a good training tool for me. I am an old 50 foot bullseye shooter and hunter pistol metallic silhouette shooter, so I am not much help to you.

Thanks Mike that would be helpful.

Ordered the.40 Witness and a hundred rounds of ammo. Will be here by Weds. The .40 will replace the 9mm truck pistol.

Thanks for the info I am acquainted with the. Cz pistols. I will check with the gun shop for mags the owner is a Cpl. on the brownwood p.d. he is a class III dealer he hunts coyotes cats and hogs with a thermal scope suppressed AR and sold me my 308AR.

OK , it is Post Exchange, Army, Fort Hood. They won't let me buy there since I didn't keep on re-enlisting in the USMC or USMCR for 20 and retire. "Terminology matters" I like the single action feature and the trigger of the Witness. I'm not much for plastic pistols. even though they do make a polymer framed model Witness.

YEP I was, I've had one each of them, did use them for the same purpose...moving my old body from house point A to boonie point B and back. I like the Samaria better because it is street legal. The Mule was a non-street legal POS (IMHO) My brother used a Samaria to deliver flowers from his wife's flower shop in DFW, It lasted forever...... Vote-poll?

Anyone have one of these? My son has one and I like the way it looks handles and shoots. EAA Witness .40 S&W 12 round magazine. He bought it on base at the PX? do they still call it a PX? I am thinking about buying one . A local gun store has a couple. Only one magazine, anyone know if magazines are available?

I have a Kawasaki 3010 Mule, it is exactly the same as a Suzuki, needs some repair as all of these identical UTVs do, Suzuki parts will fit!! ....Vote, what vote? it was a poll, but isn't a vote and a poll exactly the same? yeah, what happened to the vote/poll results?

good looking set of wheels!

You betchum Red Ryder! :)) I'm fixing one of them briskets this next week, smoke it with some hickory chips and I'm gonna have some friends over, they can brang the corn bread, salad and dessert. I'll cook up some pintos with some salt pork, garlic cloves, and Jalapenos. We will have a Fandango. :banana:

NTX Shooter it looks like your hunting lease may be getting some rain ground looks awfully. dry in your photo. I was in the area on weekend of 4/24-25 east of Seymour near Mankins for my High School reunion They had good thunder storms from I-20 to Wichita Falls. Sunday the Brazos was running full South of Mineral Wells.

You look around find an old established brand that has a good product but has started to lose money because of regulations, high labor costs because of longevity pay, fully invested retirement plans and employee benefits. Buy that company roll it into one of your other crappy companies, and suck the goodie out of it, lay off the long time employees, farm out the manufacturing to a third world country, ship the inferior parts back to an assembly plant, use unskilled workers to bolt part A to part B. Hire your in-laws to run a delaying action customer service. The result is what you see in the present day crap.

WOW! You could send me a samich, plain white bread, no mayo, no mustard, no catsup, just a dab of meat drizzlings .wrap it in a sheet of wax paper and send it UPS.... ! LOL!

Yes WE will be preached about as internal terrorist that are tearing apart our great progressive country!

Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Rifle Now Available in 300 AAC Blackout April 22, 2015 Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce that the Mini-14® Tactical rifle is now available in 300 AAC Blackout. This newest version of the Mini-14 rifle features an optimized gas port that reliably cycles with both supersonic ammunition and subsonic ammunition when a sound suppressor is installed. The rifle weighs approximately 6.75 lbs., features a 16.1", 5/8"-24 threaded barrel with a 1:7 twist rate, and is supplied with two, twenty-round detachable box magazines. OUCH!: MSRP of $1,019 I am looking for one to replace my older Ruger Mini-14 stainless steel, .223/5.56mm hardwood stock model, made in 1982 (bought it new) It also has the original Tasco 3-9 scope. It isn't as accurate as my Springfield custom 03 3006 nor my Mi Garand. but it does put whitetail deer meat on the table. I haven't tweeked it at all, 100% out of the box, it shoots two to three inch groups at 200 meters from an old codger in the standard prone position with some commercial reloaded 55 grain HP rounds. Never have sighted it in on a bench. It is my truck and Gator gun. It is a little light for 300 pound hogs beyond 100 meters but it goes bang every time I have pulled the trigger with live ammo in the chamber, it also has never failed to feed not failed to eject.

I already won because I bought one of his slings (Black) and I love it!..... so I will stick with nineteen! If I don't win the guessing game I'll probably order another one for my Mini 14 5.56, even if they aren't on sale! #1 Because of WHO he is that made it #2 Where he made it #3 because it is a well made product!

Hmmmmm.... I read the book a couple of times and surely don't remember anything about shooting Katrina looters..... but then again I don't remember everything I read. My memory bank has taken a couple of dumps along the way.... No, I haven't seen the flick...... Yep we all will die one way or the other and sooner or later. I would rather take a 300 Magnum to the forehead at 500 meters.... I don't even wanna hear the blast,.... than die in a hospital bed nekkid and with tubes sticking all in me and a bunch of grieving people sitting around .

Nice looking receiver! :)) Okay, I guess if you don't like it you could just unscrew the handle, since you would have to do that to remove the BCG for cleaning. Sounds kind of like going back in time. I never had trouble with my M1 or my 1100 or mini 14. I had a time for awhile getting used to the AR charging handle but I have grown to like it being there. Thanks for showing the picture, looks cool! Does he also do a bolt handle on the right side?

Thanks I got too old and crippled up to keep them tuned and repaired so that they could be driven, that I decided it would be better to sell them and have someone enjoy them, so they were sold.

I need to figure out how to post thumbnails to save space. our 1953 Belair 2 door sedan, 100% stock 235 3 speed <a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=134865588" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL1180/4341552/9153654/t-134865588.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a> well that sort of worked
