      Need my hand held re: buying a Garand from the CMP

      Good afternoon, and welcome to the Garand owners assembly, or, the future Garand owners group. The CMP will send it to your door via Fedex, I believe. Adult signature is required. When you get it, you should come to our monthly Garand/Vintage rifle matches. We shoot almost every month at the...

Everything else gets better with offhand practice. The guys at CIHPRS are fine folks. They will treat you well. You are also welcome to...

      Best Platform for long range?

      Long Range means a lot of different things to different people. I shoot 1000 yards with iron sights using my AR15 match rifle. There is an organized group that shoots real long distance at Camp Atterbury. The Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club has an F-Class Clinic coming up that will deal...

      Americans driving cars around 11.5 years old

      My main ride is a 1992 Dodge D350 with 414,000 miles, and a 1985 Jeep CJ7 that I rebuilt from a clean spot in the floor in 1995. My newest ride is a 2006 Kia Sorento. What kind of average is that? DennyMac

      Taper Pinning

      Good afternoon. If you have not yet had your FSB pinned, I can do something like that. What I do is to tap the base from both sides and mill flats on the barrel. That allows you to 'tilt' the front sight to get your rear sight mechanically centered. I can do this while you wait. Take the front...

      Marlin 336BL won't fit 6 rounds in the magazine

      It is a 6-shot, with 5 in the magazine and one in the chamber. The 'full length magazine tube' refers to the fact that the rifles are available with a shorter magazine tube. Best of luck, and have a great day DennyMac

      moving a firearm from far away?

      The last time that I traveled on an airline with rifles, they had to be in a lockable case. You had to declare them at the counter and show them to the agent. The case was then locked. The lock HAD to be a TSA lock. My case was reopened after it left my possession, and the rifles were...

      Long distance ranges

      You asked about central Indiana, but maybe a little drive will be worth the time. We at the Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club have berms at 200, 300, and 500 yards. We also hold open to the public long range practice days. The next one is Sunday May 3. $5 per shooter. Range open from 8:00...

      OAL gauge for .260 Remington

      You are using the OAL gage correctly. What you are seeing is the overall length of a cartridge loaded WITH THAT PARTICULAR BULLET that touches the lands in YOUR rifle. The factory OAL listed at 2.800 is the length that will go in EVERYONE'S rifle magazine. Try a Scenar bullet, and see how long...

      1911 scope mounts

      Greetings. I, too, would like to have an optic sight mounted to my Springfield 1911A1. I have some hesitation about having holes drilled and tapped into the frame of the pistol. I am just funny that way. I am liking the mount on the gun in the above post. Could any of you fine folks suggest a...

      F-Class LR: Here I come!

      Well, if you made the match at Atterbury on September 27, you were not the only one there with a gas gun. I was on target 2, with a match prepped AR15, and IRON SIGHTS and a sling. I shot a 12 for the first string, 180 for the second string, and 187 for the last one. How did you do overall...

      Long Range Newbie looking for.....anything helpful.

      Good morning. Unless you are loading your own ammo, there is nothing available commercially that will shoot 1000 yards in a .270 and stay supersonic to 1000 yards. Even if you are loading your own, that is still a big step. Hunt closer to home, and shoot closer than 1000 yards. Irresponsible...

      Extra Long Range

      Are you a scumbag salesman?

      The best thing that you can do it to waste his time to the point that he will leave you alone. Talk to him, make an appointment to have him come out, and when he comes, leave him sitting in your office and go to lunch, or anywhere else. I had a roofing company hound me, and I finally let them...

      layman's guide to bullet velocity, stopping power?

      Energy increases with the square of the velocity. Simply put, a faster bullet hurts more than a slower bullet of the same weight. I can paint the inside of a 10 foot square room from 100 yards away using a V8 sized can of paint and a .22-250. Combine 55 grains of bullet with 3800 feet per...
