Re: U.S. RIFLE, CALIBER 7.62MM, M14
Very nice film on the operation of the M14.I had one in the Air Force in 1964 just before they made us start using the early model M16. I wanted to keep mine but they eventually got them back by not issuing any more M14 ammo. Damn shame to see the all the beautiful rifles, stacked up by the hundreds...

Re: Long Branch-branch out
Regarding the headspace testing,I always test and even when they pass I take JYD's advice and tie the gun to a test stand of some kind and pull the trigger with a string from behind cover for the first shot (just to be sure). Thanks for your service too and good luck with the fine looking Long Branc...

Re: In regards to Lemon Oil
Lemon Oil is found in many brands of furniture polish and is often recommended by furniture mfg.I use it on gun stocks in place of regular wax,which can build up over time.Vodka is a good one to use while applying aforementioned lemon oil. JGC

Re: A2 20" upper?
Yea Lee.I really like the looks of that one. I carried an M-16 for awhile and always thought it would be nice if I could improve it like they do to AR's these days.I have a VEPR with a 20" barrel and a 7.62X54R VEPR with a 23" barrel and the longer ones are just more accurate than the regu...

Re: AK47 vs AK74
My thoughts about AK 47 vs AK74: I did not buy an AR for the same reason I bought an AK74 instead. I think little fast bullets like the AK 74 and all AR variants just can't hit hard enough against hard targets. They are hell on the human body though, but so is the 7.62 X39, which had no trouble knoc...

I can"t say what mfg. made this one but I think they are right about the 32 cal. They were often written about in the old crime dime novels along with the various short 38 cal. sat. night specials. At one time the cheap 38 cal. revolver killed and wounded more people than any other single cal.T...

Re: Concealed carry suggestions
Many instructors say get a light 5 round regular 38 special revolver for the average female newbie.My wife carries the Ruger 5 round 357 LCR w/38 +P and she can't say any negatives. She has her choice of over 30 different hand guns but stays with the 38+P. She says its foolproof . JGC
