      With what C&R rifle you often get caught violating with the ranges rules

      I got caught again violating the AGC Ranges rules while I am still in probation with a more serious violation 5 months ago. I left the Lee Enfield #4 Mk1* magazine on the rifle during the “ceasefire” with the chamber plug in place and the gun is on the side bench (not shooting bench. I put it...

      The M1 Garand, The M1A or It’s just me

      Since the AGC range has allowed the common folks shooting steel targets, I have been practicing with numerous rifles that I have in my collection. It is very interesting to find out that some rifles with very low expectations turn out to be great offhand shooters and some great looking rifles...

      Martini Henry Mrk IV: a disappointment

      First, I want to say that I love the Queen of England and I also have great respect for her subjects. I do have a small collection of English military small arms (not just Mosin Nagant rifles) and Martini Henry (MH) Mrk IV rifle is one of them. The image of British soldiers in red coats holding...

      French flintlock musket model 1728/46 (replica sold by Veteran Arms)

      Just got the french musket from Veteran Arms. This gun is a replica of the French model 1728-46. one of the most popular muskets during colonial time and during the war of independence in North America. This version was aged with acid and stain to make it looks like an antique musket. However...

      Chassepot needle rifle: Better than s...shooting

      I just got a Chassepot needle rifle. After cleaning it up , fabricating missing parts, and making a few test paper ammo for it, shooting the old gun the first time was so enjoyable and delightful, I think I must share the experience with everyone here. I did not expect a lot from this...

      Need INFO to bring French percussion musket back to life

      I just bought a french musket, Civil war era Mle 1842 percussion musket with .69 bore. After disassembled the gun for cleaning, I am glad to find down that it is all original and beautifully crafted. Fit and finish are supper. The walnut stock is still solid even though there are wormholes all...

      Aim big miss small

      I was a strong believer of "aim small, miss small" since I have watched "The Patriot". It does make a lot of sense. Because of this I hardly shoot at 100 yrds with open sights. A couple of months ago, I was forced to use the 200 yrd range at AGC due to the ground maintenance schedule. There, I...

      How do you know you've been shot at?

      With the random shooting near Rockville courthouse and Metro lately, I just wonder if there's an indication/sight of being shot at so we know when to dodge the follow up bullets.

      What's wrong...Part deux: FAL on trial

      Actually, there's nothing wrong this time. it's just a continue thread from the first part where I evaluated the M1A with open sights. Having a successful test with the M1A then shut out the FAL is a crime so I have to move on with this test/evaluation. The FAL under test is a basic IMBEL...

      A missing fact about the Italian M91 Carbine

      Yes, I am talking about the little Italian Carcano M-91 Cavalry Carbine. There are a lot of articles about this gun throughout the years, but none of them mentioned that the Italian M-91 cavalry carbines were the first guns built with the integral folding spike bayonet. This bayonet type has...

      AK reliability in question

      Yes I am talking about the AK. Last week, I saw a footage on the news about the Paris terror attacks. An AK failed to open fire. This was a good thing, otherwise a lot more Parisien may have been killed. This also demonstrated that the rifle may not be that great as people here may have...

      AR-18, a rifle seems to lost in gun history

      AR-18, a rifle seems to be lost in gun history I heard about this rifle back in 1972. South Vietnamese Army called it M-18. My father showed me an article about it in the army news. I did see a young paratrooper carry it at the end of the Vietnam War. However, it never be mentioned as one of...

      Naplese Snider: An unknown phenomenal or my stupidity

      Napalese Snider: An unknown phenomenal or my stupidity Last Sunday, I went to the range with a Nepalese Snider with a perfect shining bore. After 10 shots (Snider chow using 55gr of Pyrodex and .577 round ball patched with grease patch in a 24G shotshell.) I brought it home and cleaned real...

      I am confused about the Krag Jorgensen rifle

      Does it have 1 lug or 2? Is it a faster rifle compared to the SMLE? I saw the Norwegian rifle competition on Youtube and I couldn't find any other gun could be faster.

      Turkish Forestry Carbine: A closer look

      Before I have my hand on a Turkish Forestry Carbine, I have read a lot about it. Its history is very colorful and quite mysterious because all gun historian wannabe just base on some markings on the gun plus some WW1/WW2 stories to come up with their own version of where about the rifle came...

      Be fair and square to MAS49/56 in .308

      Hello all, Many moons ago, when I just started shooting and collecting guns, I bought many guns that look cool and cheap at gun shows. One day, I saw a French gun with all the goodies for $250 and it is in .308, one of the most popular rounds out there, so I took it home that day. I did not...
