Their biggest shortcoming IMO is the often dramatic variation in scores, among regions and sometimes venues, necessary to earn leg points. This seems to engender very different perceptions of the significance of these awards. Try EARNING a badge sometime. I've attended matches where the "cut&q...

On August 8th, 2007, Mark DelCotto shattered the existing 600 yard prone slowfire record by firing a perfect 200-20x at the US National Matches (NRA highpower rifle phase) at Camp Perry. The old record (200-19x) was set on August 10th, 1989 (also at Camp Perry). In the intervening years, this record...

Most rounds fired in combat are suppressive in nature - most shots are fired to keep the enemy's heads down, and not deliberately aimed. The US Army once did a study, and found even the most skilled marksmen had a difficult time engaging man sized targets at 300 yards - assuming they saw them at all...

AMU has the capability to make parts in house. Having said that, they also purchase components commercially.

The item in question (tube and clamp) is also known as a "bloop tube".

If you fill your CA tank with compressed air, it's 78% nitrogen already. The only things you have to worry about are: Moisture in the nitrogen.

John, Don't forget the 5th Circuit's U.S. v. Emerson case, in which the 2nd Amendment was found to guarantee an individual right. See http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/99/99-10331.cr0.wpd.pdf for the court record. In one form or another, a case deciding the status of the 2nd Amendment WILL go...

From a materials standpoint: DO NOT USE MERCURY !!! Aside from its toxic effects ("mad as a hatter" comes from the neurological effects of mercury and mercury salts on hatmakers - who used these compounds to cure fur hats), mercury seeps between grains of aluminum, causing liquid metal emb...

As with all such designs, clearance between the handle and the sight knobs is important. From experience, #2 sights (72 MOA windage adjustment range) and Winchester 52s don't mix. In such a setup, the sight needs to be placed so the knobs are forward of the handle - or your sight knob winds up getti...
