Re: Short cycling AR-15 TWR 03/27/24
There is no “one way” when dealing with the general public. The MIL got as close as you can get by using a set pressured ammo and making sure it runs in the +120 to -20 degrees.

With folks like me burning as much powder as I can then you have folks using the cheapest (weakest) stuff they can find, it’s hard to set up a gun to run both equally well.

Over gassing one just to appease the guys running cheap ammo won’t work with guys that use good ammo and expect a smoother shooting gun. Can or not.

I've eaten many woodchucks. The young of the year are pretty good. Do you still have many woodchucks in your area ?

Re: Does Alaska have a "RED FLAG" law......?? akpls 03/27/24
HB162 and SB229 concerning "Gun Violence Protective Orders" were both filed this session. I haven't read the detailed wording of these bills, but the summary points towards these being "Red Flag" laws. Fortunately, neither seem to be gaining any traction in committee.

So I am not sure if the Rossi copy of the Winchester M92 is going to be any better.

That said, I have killed a pretty large number of deer as well as elk and bears with SWC and LBT lead bullet all fired from revolvers and all (so far) and been 1 shot kills with most falling fairly quickly. I have also killed many ranch animals (horses and cattle) with my 44 magnum handguns and again I have had excellent success. So if you are going to use a cast bullet in the lever action you may need a mold that makes a bullet that has no sharp shoulder. An LBT type wide flat nose Gas Checked type is the best, but the cannelure has to set the bullet inside the case deep enough to feed.

If you get a mold to cast a bullet that is compatible with the rifle you'll have no problems at all killing deer


My Rossi wouldn't feed Keith bullets in Magnum cases (too long), but if I loaded Keith bullets in .44 Special cases, it fed quite well. That was in two Rossi's I had (20" and a 16"). I do NOT know if they'd feed in the next Rossi, but in my two carbines, they worked like a champ. I had quit casting by that time, though, and mostly used commercially cast RNFP for fun shooting. I usually got 4" groups at 100 yards with 240 XTPs with AA#9, and they killed deer really dead.

Re: Glock 34 MOS Jim in Idaho 03/27/24
Had both a 34 Gen 5 MOS and a Model 17 Gen 5, non-MOS.

Trigger pull and mechanical accuracy were pretty much same same. The main difference is the 34 has a bit more weight up front to lessen felt recoil/muzzle jump. It's not a lot but shooting them side by side it's definitely a softer feeling recoil.


Fwiw, I no longer have any Glocks and have replaced them with S&W M&P 2.0's, a 4.25" model and a 5". Nothing really against the Glocks, just personal preference. They fit my hand better, and while you can always replace a Glock trigger I liked the OEM flat triggers on the new Smiths better.

Re: 1903 Springfield bolt question iskra 03/27/24
Concerning Springfield 1903 & 1903A3 Bolt. There's never been a " safety recall" so to speak concerning the Springfield Bolts themselves as far as I know! Maybe when they have "airbags" & no inference to members of this Forum including me! smile Springfields as a wider mauser pattern genre, such locking surfaces on receivers are some few millimetres thick. The locking lugs abutting surface are considerably thicker and the inner striker hole is reflects a minimal compromise of that strength. Bolts for their surface locking area are considerably stronger than receivers, functionally a "shell". The termed "safety lug was intended as just that! Never to precisely abut in contact with the aft receiver bridge. Such would require an unnecessary dimension of precision. When the ultimate faliure of the bolt in shear, it was the "seatbelt". Krags functioned well with one locking lug altoether if in somewhat lesser pressure range. The point of a one "parachute" safety locking lug adequate where the forces dimenshed by predicate of bolt failure bleeding off most aft momentum. Such feature along with gas relief vents directing failure generated gasses away from the shooter face areas.

MGen Julia Hatcher, in his namesake "Notebook", found the "double heat treated" receiver the stronger of such and the later Nickel Steel receivers. Don't argue with me! Read the book. That said, the Nickel Steel became the preferred receiver material. I believe for the reason of manufacturing ease and greater tolerance to heat treating. The latter simply my take.
The 1917 Enfield, 1903 Springfields and many of the mauser 98 pattern variants have proven over decades to be entirely safe for normal pressures in an era when 50k would have been higher than normal but well within "the envelope". Where we get into trouble with handloads, etc.,, isn't so much in hot loads, but more often in overloads combined with such as bore obstructions, wrong diameter projectiles, extremely poor maintenance or incorrect parts/fitment issues arise. My belief most of the Twentieth Century mauser pattern rifles are sufficiently strong, of ultimate "worst case reasonably to be contemplated" is where the gun is has done its duty if rendered unusable as we can yet walk away. Add shooting glasses to that formula.
Of the original question, I remain without clear understanding per description. Perhaps Rockwell surface hardness test marks???

Just another wordy... as noted, my take!
Best!
John

Re: Glock 34 MOS cra1948 03/27/24
I have had a 34 Gen5 MOS for a couple of years now. I got it intending to shoot steel and USPSA but life has gotten to busy and I’m lucky to make an IDPA match every month (for which the 34 is too big.) I’ve only shot it a little, but my impressions: It’s a Glock. The trigger is pretty good for a box stock Glock trigger, very shootable. The finger grooves are gone, a good thing. Other than that, all I can say is it’s a Glock.

I did provide it one day for a bunch of students, all new shooters, to use at an event we had at the shooting center here on campus. All liked it and no problems, so there’s that.

Sorry I can’t give a more comprehensive report than that.
