      RemArms M700

      I've got a .223 700, and the action is gritty compared to a Howa and Savage in .308. Still MOA accurate, just gritty bolt closing and opening. The 700 will be a project gun down the road. Q

      M1903 vs M1917

      Nice comparison. The 03A3 and 1917 are on the bucket list. Q

      Sparrow on a 22LR converted Glock Question

      I bought the original AA Kit with a standard barrel. I got the threaded barrel from AA recently. All equipment is Advantage Arms. Q

      Sparrow on a 22LR converted Glock Question

      It looks like a simple blowback system due to the 22. Q

      Sparrow on a 22LR converted Glock Question

      Do I need any additional equipment for a Advantage Arms 22 conversion that has a threaded barrel? Will be using a Sparrow on it. I know most 9mm and 45 ACP need the piston adapter, but is this true for the 22LR pistol? Sparrow works great on rifles with standard velocity and sub sonic (970fps...

      My SilencerCo Sparrow and Savage Mk II

      Got the same results with a 10/22. BB gun quiet. More or less firing pin click, and thump on the wood/target. The CCI Mini-Mag will give you the sonic crack, but other than that, still quiet. Q

      Rifle question need answered please.

      Bolts are technically more accurate than semi-autos, but in reality it depends on who made them. A bolt action rifle may be better than a semi-auto, but it depends on what you plan on using it for. Manufacturing has come a long way from the late 1900s, so depending on what you are looking for...

      CMP Rack Grade M1

      Very nice rifle with "character". Sometimes the dings and dents are more appealing. Q

      Breath Control for rifle precision shooting

      I was having a conversation with another rifle shooter about breath control, and the "respiratory pause" moment came up. They used the empty lung (bottom of the breathing cycle) technique, whereas I use the half-breath lung method (full breath in, pause at about halfway). NRA basic rifle...

      Today in Taneytown

      Probably staged for the MGA for next year's bills. "See, they can't be trusted in stores, we need more restrictions...." Q

      Morakniv Companion

      Got one and it's been solid. No frills, just solid. Not worried if it gets lost or damaged, inexpensive to replace. Q
