The basic issues are money and bed space as far as dealing with the mentally ill. In the state system so far it is a matter of "if you build it, we will fill it" All the state MH beds have a waiting list at most times of the year. The state is the ward of last resort, where you send folks ...

My experience with 3 gun at the time was that they pretty much allowed "run what ya brung" and we saw all kinds of standard cap guns. Pretty much no one had banned the possession of grandfathered magazines, and they were available, if at a price. That being said, certain locales that have ...

I don't have a dog in this fight now, but Shipyard, you are full of it. A free market involves, well, being free. This whole mess has been driven by either actual or proposed government regulation. By definition it is not a market driven force. Remember all the anti monopoly regulation from the earl...

I didn't really want to get in to this topic, but it seems there is some misconception around here about the mental health system here. Minnesota has 5 types of civil commitments. All have to be given by a judge in district (state) court. First off is Chemically Dependent. Pretty self explanatory. T...

When I can't find an exact load in the manual, I will take the lowest charge weight for the same weight of bullet and slowly work up. Load 5 shoot them and check for function and any pressure signs. I really doubt you will find a load in a book for 95gr IMI bullets specifically. Depending on the ogi...

I take it that you guys don't watch NBC at all? CNBC MSNBC NBC News NBC Sports (ex Vs.) Etc.? They are a pretty left of center group. Media bias and all. Did you see any of their last 3 weeks football coverage? Essentially they took over a good part of their halftime show for one of their talking he...

I'd be a little confused myself. Century arms made some semiauto rifles on that gun (its the Yugo clone of the MG42)- but - 850 RPM? That's something you hear about for full auto. That is better than 14 rounds a second (about .07 splits) which is pretty dang fast. I looked on google and some folks w...

Lyman sells a mold that allows you to use a regular shotgun wad as a sort of sabot for reloading "sabot slugs"- I have never done this personally, but know a couple of guys who do. The results were not too bad out of a smoothbore barrel. They were doing this to get the price down for 3 gun...

Since you are talking more target shooting, get the Remington. More accessories, easily modified, and as accurate as any entry level rifle. I used to be a big Savage fan, but too many of their parts are plastic and they tend to not hold up long term as well if you shoot much. My only caveat would be...

Looks to me like what happens when someone forces a jammed progressive press. Sometimes the primer goes off (done that, learned not to do this anymore), but usually the priming compound pellet breaks and the primer won't fire and doesn't go off. The case is not lined up with the priming station, it ...

If your problems are only occurring when you shoot it off a bench, as in sighting in, make absolutely sure you have the butt firmly against your shoulder- no slop. Do not allow the magazine to rest on anything. Also do the heavy duty clean of the bolt/carrier thing and lube with CLP. Its probably no...

The first thing I would do is take the bolt carrier and bolt, and REALLY clean the thing (ie take it down as far as you can then scrub the heck out of it, use pipe cleaners, etc. and get the factory gunk out) then (making sure the gas rings on the bolt are overlapping) reassemble and lube with Break...

For that level of performance (1/3 MOA at 300), you will be better off loading your own. I have one .223 that can do that with factory ammo, and that only with Federal Gold Medal Match using a 69gr SMK bullet. That is not cheap. Black Hills match ammo isn't bad either, but its more like .6 MOA in my...

And how long until they pass a law saying you can't use this stuff or have it in your possession when hunting? Isn't it already illegal in any organized shooting competition? I do know this is illegal to hunt with in Zambia and Tanzania. I think its technically illegal in some states (there are a fe...

I have a few JP guns. As much as I hate to say it, my experience with them has been mixed, and is based wholly on who I dealt with over there. John (the owner) is a good guy. He had one employee I wouldn't pee on to put out a fire. That fellow is now long gone. The CTR 02 is a top of the line 3 gun ...
