My first Luger P08 I have a Luger and a Mauser Broomhandle that I inherited from my brother. Both appear to be pieced together as no matching numbers. It has been years since I shot the Luger but it was a very nice shooting gun and as stated by most it was very accurate even with the marginal...

Muzzle Brake I use a Mikulek comp on my AR. It is extremely effective and is in the $50 range at most online suppliers. I am a right handed shooter so I have mine clocked at about 1 o'clock and have very little muzzle rise, more like a 22 than a 223. The only draw back to it is that it is loud...

First post so I might as well pick a few brains. I have 500 rds of hardcast 135gr RN bullets that are actually .38 Super bullets. Has anyone tried this combo loading to 9mm specs using W-231 powder? Some of the specs I have been seeing here on the forum are considerably different than what I...
