Chrome lined means that the bore and possibly the chamber of the barrel have been chrome plated
Chromemoly steel is a steel alloy that is strong and wear resistant.
The chrome lining will protect the bore from wear (before it eventually wears off the chrome and exposes the steel), corrosion...
OK fine, the point of the post is: SOME OF US HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC PROBLEMS THAT COULD AND CAN INJURE. MAIM OR KILL THE SHOOTER!!!!
Use this post as an alert to what can happen, not as a "mine never did that".
I know people that have shot thousands of rounds out of Glocks too and I also...
I had the EXACT same thing happen to me 10 years ago with my Walther P22. My trigger finger and the edge of my palm where it met the frame/magazine gap were burned 2nd degree.
I'd returned the gun to S&W before for reliability problems and when the metalurgist from Smith called and talked to...
Eastern Arms was a brand label used by I believe H&R to sell to hardware stores into the Depression era. I researched one that was in the family for at least 3 generations years ago. My Papaw gave a 12 ga Eastern to my Dad in the 60's. They kick like a mule!!!
I've seen some Eastern's at...
Back in the early to mid 80's, shooting steel silhouettes was a popular game. Shooters aimed at different sized chicken, ram, javalina steel targets at different yardages out to 100 or 200 yards. The size and weight increased with the distance. So out to 100 or 200 yards, a .44 usually had...
My 700 PSS shoots LC 62 gr ball between 3/4" to 1" groups at 100 yds. Beyond that, the groups tend to open up as the bullets are not as precise as BTHP's. Fed GMM or Blackhills blue box 68 and 69 gr will group a hair over 1/2" and tend to stay 1/2 - > 3/4 MOA out to 400 yds. I've shot it...
55 gr bullets haven't been "standard" for over 20 years. DoD went to the 62 gr in the early 80's. Complete change over (when the last NG units replaced their M16a1's with M16a2's was just after the 1st Gulf war) was in the early 90's)
Nato standard has been 62 gr since the early 80's and most...
Look drydaleg, YOU SAID WHAT YOU SAID, How am I expected to react to your posting?
Quoting you: " i wasnt sure if i was going to be able to own a firearm due to mental history and arrests (when i was 17)."
If you think posting that is something that makes the rest of us feel comfortable...
Beause if you were so stupid to fxxxup enough to have and I am quoting "multiple arrests" when you were a teen, are you smart enough to be in possession of a firearm? Add that to the ADMITTED mental issues that the poster stated and I have questions about the person being able to possess...
