      M1A scope mount recommendations

      Thanks for the info. I think for now I'm going to stay with iron sights. Im pretty happy about adding a "real" M1A to my collection. Many years ago I acquired a Norinco or Polytech M1A can't remember which. As many people remember the internal parts were not hardened causing some of them to go...

      What tips would you give a first time shooter?

      My suggestions are to find a firearm that feels comfortable to you. A rifle with a stock that's too long or a pistol you can't get a good grip on or easily reach the controls will distract you from learning the fundamentals and even pose a safety issue. A good fit for a pistol would feel relaxed...

      M1A scope mount recommendations

      I just bought an M1A and would like the option of mounting a scope. Because I don't see myself shooting with a scope that much I'm trying to avoid getting a mount that gets pinned to the stripper clip guide mount. Any suggestions on a QD scope mount and do "repeat zero" mounts really repeat...

      What’s the worst gun you’ve owned/ own?

      I had one of the P22 "competition" sets that came with a 5in barrel and compensator. It was very picky on ammo. Never used it for anything more than plinking but it was a jam o magic as well. I sent it back to Walther to have it checked. They sent it back with a new slide at no charge. They...

      LSP seize 64 unlawful pistols during Mardi Gras

      Oh it's not just NOLA. A lot of small towns see this sort of thing too. I was shooting at the "local shooting spot" and a cop pulled up to see who was shooting. After calling my information in he got out of his car without my gun and told me he was going to have to keep my gun because he...

      TriStar parts comparability

      Anyone know what accessories are compatible with a TriStar Viper shotgun? I've read that some Winchester XPS and some Stoeger accessories will fit. Any input would be appreciated.

      What’s the worst gun you’ve owned/ own?

      I bought my son a Rossi Trifecta set. A top break, single shot receiver and three uppers in .22lr, 20ga and .243 in a zippered case. Seemed like a good idea for a young hunter. I put a Burris Fullfield II scope on the .243 and we headed to the range. Long story short.....I tried just about every...

      Any 1911 smiths around?

      I had a S.A. 1911A1 G.I. series pistol. I used the frame for another build. So I have the G.I. slide and barrel and bought an 80% frame. A buddy gave me a new SS match threaded bull barrel. My question is- If I get a reverse recoil plug with the "shoe" support machined into it can I use the...
