Mosin Nagant Stripper Clips Part I
Guest post courtesy of: It's no secret that a lot of us are frustrated to use stripper clips in the Mosin-Nagant. The causes vary, but can usually be narrowed down to any combination of four items. 1. Improper stripper clip loading. Though in theory the rounds can be...

I like ’em old and dead
Gun writers. They’re much better that way. At least they’re emotionally simpler for me. There are famous old writers and experimenters in the firearms field who are almost universally revered. They’re my favorites, but not always for the same reasons that they’re...

The 6.5x 50 Arisaka: Imperial Japan’s Intermediate Cartridge

Liberal Gun Club: Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Personal experience has shown that people take one look at me on the range and think I'm a hard core, screaming right wing extremist. It might have to do with the firearm in my hand. Last week I discussed the stereotype that liberal = anti gun/right to keep and bear...
