      Opinions on Peacemaker range in WV

      One of my grown daughters lives in Sterling, VA, and told me today that they visited Peacemaker in WV and were impressed. They're looking for an outdoor range for target practice, gotta be cheaper than the nearby indoor ranges. What's the current scoop on the facilities and organization these...

      Adjustable M-LOK bipod

      I purchased an UTG Recon 360 adjustable M-LOK bipod to attach to one of my rifles because of its advertised adjustability, plus the ability to lock it into place by moving a tightening lever. The only issue is that the lever, at the loosest setting, is already so tight that its extremely...

      Browning with peanut butter?

      Cross posted from WeaponsGuild: I swear I read somewhere online recently that you could brown the shiny barrel of a reproduction flintlock pistol using creamy peanut butter. Slather it on, let it dry, flake it off, slather, etc., then fix the process with something when you're done. Now I...

      Range report: Sig P365 and AIM Walther P1

      First, let me thank Arlington R&P Club for inviting me over to shoot their steel targets at 15 yards this morning. Much appreciated! First off, I put 50 rounds of WWB 115g 9mm and 50 rounds of AE 124g 9mm through each gun. For the Sig I used both 10 and 12 round mags, loaded either full or...

      Canned WW2 small arms

      Here's an interesting article about how the US stored the multitude of small arms built and used in WW2 during 1946-1947 or so. No mention of cosmoline. :) http://weaponsman.com/?p=13309

      Rear monopod for Serbu BF50 bolt action rifle

      Anyone know where I can get a decent rear monopod for the Serbu bolt action BFG50 rifle? From Serbu's advertising it's not clear if the rear monopod for the BFG50a semi-auto will work as is. I've seen recommendations for the one made by BulletButton, but apparently it's no longer in production.

      Carbon buildup in suppressor piston hole

      For an Osprey suppressor (or any suppressor, for that matter), what's an effective method of cleaning carbon buildup out of the hole into which the piston goes? Pistons are getting more and more difficult to remove without using a hook of some sort, and they meet some resistance about halfway...

      Spurious CC charge to MD State Police

      I'm putting this in the MD 2A Issues section because I think it pertains to my HQL application. The $50 fee to MSP for my HQL application showed up on my online CC statement on 09/14, which is appropriate since I submitted my application on 09/12. That's fine. Then today another $50...

      Machine gun ammo links

      Searched and didn't find an answer, so: Is it still legal in MD to purchase, and have delivered to you in-state, individual MG metal links (not belts, just the links) in MD? Not one link at a time, certainly, but in quantity. I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes, it's legal", but some of the...

      MSP office hours for submitting Form 4?

      The last time I brought a Form 4 to the MSP licensing division they told me I'd shown up after their office hours, but they kindly took it anyway. Now I've forgotten what their office hours are. So, what are their office hours?

      Robocall from President Obama

      During dinner this evening we got a robocall from the President himself, urging support for Anthony Brown. Are they that concerned?

      Sword display stands

      Anyone have recommendations for a source for decent quality table-model sword display stands? I have 3 original Japanese swords (Mantetsu-to katana, wakizashi and a cavalry sabre) that need a stand for display. The ones on Amazon, for example, seem pretty rickety from the reviews.

      Got a Frosh flyer on my door

      I came upstairs yesterday after watching a couple of episodes of House of Cards : The Final Cut (the British version), and found a flyer stuck on my front door soliciting support for Frosh's candidacy for MD AG. The flyer was mostly a reprint of an endorsement from the Washington Post, touting...

      Broken shell extractors

      Will a broken shell extractor for an AR in .223/5.56 work with an AK74 in 5.45x39? Would one for .308 Win work with a rifle in 7.62/54R or 7.62x39 (all being more or less .30)?

      Replacing older BHP ejector

      Found out at the range yesterday that the reason I've been having ejection issues with my C&R 1951-era BHP (with internal extractor) is that the ejector is broken. Doh! Anyway, a replacement (and a spare) are on the way, but is there anything I need to look out for when doing the...

      9mm: Federal AE or Speer Lawman

      For general purpose range use (plinking, target practice), which of these two 9mm rounds would you prefer to use, Federal AE or Speer Lawman? Why? To clarify: 124g in both handguns and subguns.

      IAC Winchester 1897 trench gun

      Here are some pictures of the IAC copy of the Winchester 1897 trench gun I got at the MACA show on March 15. The blemishes are some light staining on the receiver, some scratches from racking, and the head of the middle screw holding the bayonet lug piece on has snapped off, probably from the...

      High Standard Model B

      The earlier post about the High Standard Model HD reminded me. Got this early Model B (in .22LR, ser. no. 182xx) at the Gun Bunker in Shrewsbury after the York show last October. Got the spare magazine from the older gentleman selling mags for old pistols at a subsequent Chantilly show...

      Finnish Model 1935 bayonet

      In the C&R forum I posted a picture of a Finnish M39 rifle with bayonet attached. Well, it turns out the bayonet appears to be a completely unmarked M1935, with drain hole and smooth scabbard. Here are some rather poorly exposed pictures to illustrate. The picture of the scabbard backside...
