I have an H&R single shot 12ga and I only enjoy shooting slugs from it. It only has a front bead sight and I have an idea for adding precision sights without drilling screw holes in the barrel and weakening it. I bought some rings that fit over and tighten on the barrel ahead of the stock...

SO THE GLOCK 40 HAS THE 6 INCH BARREL. What kind of optics are you using? I have a 9 inch barrel from Lone Wolf I am going to drop into a Glock 40 and am trying to decide between RedDot or Scope. I would think that 140gr is too light for deer hunting but I guess you dont really need...

You said you already loaded for a 7mm Rem Mag. Why are you out scrounging around for hamburger when you have prime steak in the freezer ? ? ? Or is your post just a sick joke on the rest of us ? I have had a 7 rem mag for 20 years and have not been tempted by anything that has come...

I am currently building a 10mm Glock 40 Clone using the large LONE WOLF frame and 10 (ten) inch barrel with long slide. With the hi capacity mag, it is going to look stupid and hopefully be pretty accurate possibly with a scope and always be a little more powerful than the stoutest 357 mags.

I think wheel guns trying to shoot rimless cartridges are reasonably stupid. Find a proper rimmed caliber and go have lots of fun. You want a 10mm, Buy an old SW semi automatic based on the original FBI 10mm design and it is the toughest best bargain you could ever buy.

That ought to teach you a lesson about trying to shoot from the hip like the RIFLEMAN. At only ten yards you might as well be shooting a slug

What is bad about belted cartridges. I have a 7 rem mag and I load for it and 8mm Mauser along with some pistol cartridges. What are the drawbacks of the belts ?

When considering the 6.5CM and thinking about ammo availability and performance, nothing beats the .270. the 270 has great availability and with the right bullet can beat the 6.5 in any trajectory contest.

6 or 7 years ago I had shoulder surgery just before hunting season ( Deer ) in North Georgia and I got some 110gr Barnes copper bullets for my 7mm Rem Mag to reduce recoil but loaded them to the max. anyway. I shot two deer that season, one 140 pounds and the other 180 pounds .... both at...

Twenty years ago I attended a seminar at GA TECH Univ about the future of composites and the big new thing that never really happened for some reason was honeycomb made with carbon fiber.... fast forward.... Also the big new thing was going to be dirt cheap CF tubing because of huge economies...

You might get some tips by exploring how the high pressure tank mfgrs wrap their tanks. Essentially both barrels and tanks are high pressure cylinders.

Just plain wrong. A diamond has the highest thermoconductivity rating in the universe. It is pure carbon tightly compacted. CF as manufactured is not nearly so dense but still the same material. Google will easily show you are wrong.

I would love to have a suppressor on a few of my older rifles but I didnt know if the factory had to install the screw threads on new rifles or gunsmiths could. Say for instance a Rem 700 7mm mag usual cost ?

A CF barrel is NOT stiffer than the same cross section metal barrel. However a CF barrel IS stiffer than a same weight metal barrel partly because the CF cross section would be much bigger. I am curious, on the rifles using CF wrapped around a steel inner core, are they usually wrapped...

I never did understand why the .270 was designed to shoot at magnum pressures compared to all other non magnum calibers that I know about ( not many :) ) It almost seems like cheating. Take a look at the pressure charts and you will see what I mean. But it does help to explain the...
