When this topic or variations come up, the obvious common calibers get listed as the best to build around. I can’t argue with that, but I would also suggest that having some guns in slightly less common calibers might help you out. I know we’ve all seen that whenever we have an ammo...

Me too. When it comes to shotgun projectiles, the more contained I can keep them, the better. Maybe that defeats the purpose of a shotgun to some, but to me, it reduces one of their liabilities.

Thanks, Dobbinsky. Belt Fed, I should've put my feet in there somehow. That's a requirement for gun pics, isn't it?

The class I was in where I bought that gun was a Louis Awerbuck class. Coincidentally, he owned one of the Rhodesian A-5s with the long mag tube and matching long forend. Pretty neat.

What would I pick? Assuming the logistics of a foreign weapon wasn’t a problem? Maybe the British No 4 Mk I (T), but I might go for the Swedish M/41B. The Swedish M1896 6.5X55 base rifle starts out pretty good. It’s too bad the Swiss K-31 sniping variants didn’t come about until after WWII...

It’s a Remington Model 11, which is basically an A-5. For a time, Remington held the US license while FN held the European license. I bought it from a guy in a shotgun class for something like $160. It had been reblued and had three holes poorly drilled and tapped in the left side of the...

I had my Remington 11 (A-5) out a day or two ago and took a couple of pictures. It’s on reserve status now, but it got some use. I used it in at least a few 3-gun matches and a Gunsite shotgun class.

I’m reading Ruger and Beretta came to an agreement. Basically, Beretta can buy up to 25% of Ruger’s stock but can’t dictate any policy. Deal is for three years. Why would Beretta go for this? Aren’t they free to buy Ruger stock now? So why give up any say-so that comes with it? My guess...

I’ll go along with that, too. I won’t accept that the FM is a substitute for proper training.

The only French I know is “Nous nous renddons”

So after how many decades, the T in SPORTS might have an occasional use it was never intended for? That doesn’t make FM 23-9 a manual that replaces quality training.

Any instructor I’ve had, seen, read, or heard about in the past 25 years sure disagrees. No instructor from a top (or close to it) school advises using the forward assist for anything.

.32 pistol bullets run .308-.312. If there is a baffle strike, the baffle tolerances are held tighter than most or the alignment is worse than most.

Uh, no. Just the inclusion of S-P-O-R-T-S is enough to disqualify it.

I gotta wonder how that sounds through a .30 can.

Because they already have a .38 Super and load for it? Or because they used to have some USPSA Open guns with ramped (fully supported chamber) barrels to handle hot ammo and still have some ammo loaded accordingly hot? And their current Supers don't have stamped barrels to shoot that ammo? Or...

The BBQ holster rig is here.

Wishing my head didn’t hurt. Wishing I was asleep.

Two sets of scope rings. Some 45-70 brass. One M-14 magazine. This one really gripes me because I have plenty of them. I just don’t know where I have them. I haven’t done a major search, but have been hoping to run across them for a year and haven’t. I want to do a sort of “Rifle History” day...

I hate the USPS.
