Old belt fed accoutrements are often as interesting the guns.

Askins' autobiography is full of "gunfight" stories that would land him in prison today. And maybe then. Bill Jordan said of him "Sometimes a man starts to enjoy killing too much".

Hence me saying they did nothing with the line after about 2005.

I said none came out after about 2005. You listed a bunch of models that came out no later than 2002. What am I missing? Where is the discrepancy?

None of the above Brownings came out after maybe 2005. That’s about when they quit. And what they did do, they didn’t promote. We BHP fans knew the cast frames were harder than the old ones, but we learned that from forums, not from FN/Browning. If they ever bothered pointing out the...

Browning did nothing with the HiPower line for ten years, maybe longer, before discontinuing it. Their catalog would have pages of socks but half a page on the HiPower. They simply had no interest in it. I feel they would’ve stopped making it years before, but waited until they were sure they...

I’ve used ARs in enough matches and classes to know what they can do. I now have fun using Garands, M-1 Carbines, etc to see how it was.

This time, yes. Everyone did. I finished dead last for the first time. (Sad face) I have to tell the backstory. I started using a Garand in these matches as a scheme cooked up with one of the match creators. We used to hear people talking about what new gadget they planned to buy next to...

Happy 250th Independence Day everyone. I shot a carbine match today, and as a tribute, I shot God’s and America’s rifle- an M-1 Garand. Would you believe someone had the audacity to use an AK? Don’t worry. He was appropriately berated all day long.

I have a Contender Barrel in the similar 17 Mach IV. I never did much after getting the brass fire formed. I was getting wild velocity variations, but again, I was just loading fire forming loads. I am a .221 FB fan. I have an early XP-100 in the caliber and had a Remington 600 rebarreled...

Thanks for the verification.

Oh no. One of the nation’s great riflemen, gone.

I started a long-winded response because I wanted to answer any and all questions and be done with it, plus I was waiting for sleep to come anyway. Now I’m feeling sleepy and am ready to end it. So cutting to the chase: Steyr AUG with 1-4X scope. We are in a subdivision with no long shots in...

I wouldn’t mind seeing some 1:12 or even 1:14 twist 14-16” barrels hitting the market. Some new CAR barrels.

I think they are. I haven’t shot my two 442s after getting a 642UC two years ago.

I expect I would! I’d be even happier with Patton’s SAA, but I’m trying to keep my buying expectations realistic!

I’ve never owned a Taurus. There are a couple I might buy. One is a T.O.R.O. revolver. That’s their Optics Ready models. I’d sorta kinda like to try a red-dotted revolver but don’t want to drill one of my S&Ws, especially since I might not like it. These TOROs would be ideal. I’ve come...

I watch a lot of old movies and that has had me wanting a Colt M series .32 or .380 “pocket”. A Remington 51 would be neat also. An old Detective Special fits the bill there, too. I’ve wanted a Merwin and Hulbert revolver for a long time. Lots to study and learn about there. Schofields...

I haven’t seen one of those in a while.

I haven’t hunted in a while, but in my woods wanderings it seems I’m more likely to run across someone’s “secret” marijuana patch as anything mean and furry. If it’s there, someone is protective of it.
