I told him I felt like that was cheating, that at this stage as a beginner I should fix whatever I am doing to be high. I've seen people in my league think the same way. They sighted in their pistol resting on the bench, and think they need to adjust their technique to bring the center of their gro...

I think I am shooting what you are looking for. Marvel Conversion on a Rock River lower, with a Rock River steel scope mount, with a 30mm Ultra dot. I bought the completed lower from Rock River. Not cheap, but then good things never are. I also bought the steel scope base from them. I don't know if ...

You pull the trigger back to allow the hammer to go to full cock to allow the bolt to pass. I think the little hammer strut can hang up on the frame and keep the hammer from going all the way back.

Be sure your hammer is all the way back.

Hey Old Man,

I think a felt tip pen is a good idea. My problem is that I have this 8oz bottle of Oxpho-blue from Brownells. A little lasts a long time. I am pretty sure it is going to be part of my estate. So I use it any time I can.

Scratch Bear under the chin for me.

You already answered your own question. The front sight is too high. I would probably go with the file. Set the rear sight in the middle of its travel, then adjust a little at a time with the file. Go in small amounts until you are happy with the result. You can darken the top of the front sight wit...

There always seem to be a few rounds that miss the catcher. To avoid bending down, my friend made a tool from a collapsing car antenna or a presentation pointer, not sure which. All he did was bend an "L" on the tip. It stays folded in his gun box until he needs to pick up brass. Then he extends the...

My Bullseye load is: 200 grn Lyman cast Bevel Based Wadcutter - sized .452 4.2 grns Bullseye CCI 300 Large Pistol Primer I haven't fired these from a Ransom Rest yet, but they seem to be accurate and function in my Rock River without any problems. To get the volumes I need, I size with a Magma - Sta...

I don't know if it is available other than from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. It comes in a white box with the Civilian Marksmanship Program logo on it. Also says WWW.ODCMP.COM. Here is the link to the CMP sales. http://estore.odcmp.com/store/catalog/catalog.aspx?pg=product&ID=419ASVSE&item=&sf...

Well, I've gone through 3,000 rounds of the first case. Most went through the Marvel conversion and some through the Mark II. I think there was one failure to fire and one stove pipe. Excellent reliability, but I keep my guns and magazines very clean. I loaned some to two friends, both with HiStanda...

I use the foam plugs with ear muffs over the top. If I only wear the muffs, I tend to flinch if the person next to me is shooting a .45. With the plug and muff combination, I don't have a problem with the person next to me.

Can I successfully decrease my trigger pull on a MK III 10/45 by reworking the original factory parts? I do not really want to spend the $100 or more for an accurizing kit. I disassembled the pistol, using bullseye on-line instructions, which by the way were excellent, and polished the seer, hammer...

I buy Aquilla Standard Velocity from the CMP. $159.00 + $20.00 shipping per case. They are working well for me.

For the calibers you mentioned I like Bullseye, 2400, and Unique.

I heard there was an error in translation. They actually get a glass of wine, a slice of cheese, and 77 raisens. No virgins.

Looks like maybe a 9mm. It had to hit pretty hard to deform like that. Bullets shot straight up tend to tumble and fall pretty slowly. Learned that on Myth Busters. Big surprise. I think it was shot at something pretty hard and bounced off. We actually found a similar bullet in our parking lot. Ours...
