    Light Triggers for Light Rifles

    The trigger weight should be dependent on the application. And, the overall weight also should be dependent on the application. So there will be no correlation between trigger weight and overall weight.

    Light Triggers for Light Rifles

    Then that would imply that the type of shooting you are planning on doing is the governing factor in trigger weigh, and rifle weight, rather than the weight of the rifle governing the weight.

    What are the results of over gassing an AR 15 format?

    In my observation many barrels are under-ported especially 16" mid-length barrels. If you shoot them 90 degree muzzle down, they won't lock back on a empty magazine. The chart is a bit off in my opinion. Proper ejection should be in the 2:00 to 3:00 o'clock position, that where M4s and M16A2...

    Light Triggers for Light Rifles

    Rifle weight has nothing to do with it. If you are benchrest shooting for sub 1/4 inch groups with a 13.5 pound rifle, you may choose a 4.5 ounce trigger. If you are out hunting with a 7.5 pound rifle, you will probably want a 4.5 pound trigger.

    Benefit of Safety Training

    The yellow line that shoots up in 1973 is the number of hunting students certified in hunter safety classes state-wide. Prior to 1974 there was no safety class. The brown/orange line is the number of total hunting accidents, which drops from over 100 to less than 10 after safety classes were...

    The PPK Lives Again !!!

    No. Current requirements for US M882 are an 8.0 gm round nosed FMJ bullet at 385 m/s, (from an 199mm [7.85"] barrel, back it down to a 4 inch barrel about 330 m/s) with a charge of double base propellant, either WPR-280, or HPC-33 (yes, the specifications are in metric). The German...

    The PPK Lives Again !!!

    The copious amount of information on the slide has been a feature of the PP/PPK since they first came out.

    Here's a new one on me-

    Looks more "Japanese," like a Type 99 Arisaka. And given the Japanese laws on gun ownership, being blank-only, reduces the logistical red-tape.

    Naval Rifles

    There was an incident back in the early 1960s at Parris Island where a young recruit was put on guard duty, given one clip of eight rounds, and told to follow his eleven general orders. After the club closed for the night, a couple of cadre personnel wandered by and started to give the sentry a...

    And the grains are not just dumped into the bags, but neatly arranged in layers. The top of the bag gets loose grains added to adjust the charge weight. The broken grains are actually not good. I believe this photograph was from the a report on the poor condition of the propellant after...

    Also, if I were the turret officer, I wouldn't want my crew thinking about offing themselves in an emergency, I would want them trying to put the fire out, no matter how much of a forlorn hope it might be, the rest of the ship might be in danger. And, if there was a flash fire from propellant...

    Naval Rifles

    I tend to agree with Slamfire that this was a rare/unusual/if ever practice. Spark hazards are very real down in the powder magazine, you had to wear special shoes down there. The other reason I doubt that story is more of a logistical question, "Where would they carry it?" A .41 caliber...

    Help me understand... a 10lb rifle 'worth' it's weight in gold?

    What is so "weird" about it? There isn't much stock to grip on those things.
