Even though I've disposed of my Uzis, I just ordered a copy for my reference library. This fills a longstanding hole in the literature, Dave; congratulations and thank you! (Ironic that this is my 1776th post, on 4 July 17.) Noah

M1 Carbine and Uzi slings work great on the 76. Noah

OK guys, a concern has been raised regarding the safety of the Slidefire stock, which IMO is merely restating an old concern about the safety of bumpfiring in general. Others have pointed out that factors (design features, lack of Kaboom posts on the Interwebz) seem to indicate that the...

Some assembly required, I see. What scale would these be? Cool factor would be off the charts, but the cost of 25ACP ammo might be a show stopper. Noah

Amazing what a coat of paint and new drapes will do for a place! Noah

^^^ This. When parts are heat treated, phosphating results will be spotty reflecting heat patterns in the parts. Sometimes grit blasting will remove residual oxide and the phosphate will "take" more uniformly, many times not. Sometimes acid pickling in hydrochloric acid or a blend of...

I handled a Rossi Ranch Hand in 45 Colt at a recent gun show, and while I admit the thing is really cool, I question its practicality. The straight grip requires one's wrist to be cocked at an uncomfortable angle, and its weight is not conducive to (much) one-handed shooting. I suppose if one...

I have H&R replica trapdoors and use 12.5 to 13 gr Unique under 350s, 400s, and even 525 gr Lyman Postell bullets. Very accurate. No. It means they didn't test the powder, or don't want to list it. Doesn't mean it doesn't work. Great advice for loading that you gave, capping the charged...

She's not a subgunner; she's a musician with unconventional instruments. Well done! Noah

"Nut" raises a good point. In any contract, there must be a meeting of the minds on the item and price, and a time by which the terms of the contract must be executed by both parties. That said, remember that verbal contracts are not worth the paper they aren't written on. The following is a...

>$10K for a Pre-May? I know they can be keepers when the music stops, but that's a bit much for P-M non-transferable, IMO. Noah

Very nice, well-rounded collection. Needs a S&W 76, though . . . Noah

Smith & Wesson made the S&W 76, and the MK760 is a clone that was made by three or four incarnations of the same company. MK760s can be made to shoot, but individual examples are hit or miss. Noah

Never had the police show up, but on two different occasions "concerned citizens" and one wildlife conservation officer came up to me at the range: 1) Two hunters walked out of the woods close to dark, got a little in my face and demanded to see my "Class III License." I have all my Forms 1...

One reason for owning a can: It's quieter at the range and doesn't bother other shooters or range neighbors or attract as much attention. My own "incompetent CLEO" story: When I went to the sheriff for my first NFA sign-off here, he told me that citizens cannot legally own an MG in PA. He...
