Yugo M67 with 1976 headstamp, fired from vz58. Got a face full of smoke but no debris. Rifle looks ok and I'll check headspace before I shoot it again. I had another case separation last summer from the same lot, also in the vz58. Needless to say I won't be shooting anymore of that lot. BSW

Did some shooting yesterday and ended the day with the vz58 at 300 yards using Yugo M67 from 1983. I had the Aimpoint on the vz58 when I was shooting (the pic is post cleaning). The tan target (left most) is visible in the background on the 1st picture and is circled in green in the 2nd. I do...

I was curious about the repeatability of the optics mounted on the dust cover of the Galil ACE 556 NATO rifle when it's removed for cleaning and replaced, so I decided to shoot some groups after removing and replacing the dust cover. Targets were shot at a known distance 200 yard range, optic...

Shot a Galil ACE in 556 at our local rifle match Saturday and have a few observations: 1) This rifle fits me. It doesn't feel like a 8lb (loaded) rifle when shouldered and shooting. 2) Ergonomics are great. All of the controls are easily reachable, if you're right handed like me. 3) Had 1...

Took some rifles and rock dust out to the range a couple weeks ago. We dusted a Mini-14, a AR15, Beretta ARX, FN SCAR, and a Arsenal SKR-107FR (AK47). Things did not turn out as you might expect: Dirty Rifles BSW

I took the ARX-100 out Wednesday to try some different ammo and see if pulling the barrel resulted in group size shifting. Some things to consider: 1) Range was 100 yards. 2) I was using a Aimpoint 2MOA optic. 3) I have astigmatism. 4) It was a cloudy day. 5) Combining 2,3,4 means I see the...

I’ve had this rifle for about 6 weeks and have about 500 rounds through it without any real stoppages, except during a rifle match, when a round popped out of the top of a magazine on a bolt open reload. Some things that might not be apparent from the pictures: There is very little aluminum...

Thanks to TangoFoxtrot for the opportunity to get some pictures of his Tavor that he’s been shooting for the past year. His videos are at: https://www.youtube.com/user/romeotangofoxtrot/videos He estimates this rifle has about 1500 rounds on it at this point. Tavor rifle. Tavor with basic...

Steyr AUG A3 design details and wear at 1000 rounds. I included some AR parts for comparison since many people are more familiar with those. Steyr AUG A3 with Surefire X300 on the side rail, Aimpoint Micro on a KAC mount and HK416 sights as BUIS. Basic field strip into groups. Barrel group...

So, I'm curious about the common wisdom about leaving gas systems dry vs oiled. First we have the gas piston from a Steyr AUG as removed when the gas system wasn't lubricated between shooting sessions. Total of about 100 rounds fired over 3 shooting sessions. This is the same gas piston...

Without trying to irritate anyone by picking on their favorite rifle, it seems like a lot of aspects of the AR's basic design are marginal: 1) The bolt is over stressed for the specified steel. Either a better grade of steel should have been specced, more generous stress relief cuts should have...

I want to do another test involving getting a Mini-14 dirty, this time with mud. Since a lot of the issues from the Mini-14 dust test were 'it's a old Mini, test a new one' and 'the AR had it's door shut when dusted' I'd like to get feedback as to what constitutes a 'fair' test. What I'm...

Some video we shot on the 4th of July. TLDR version: Mini-14 would not work dirty no matter the lube used or dry. Adding more oil got it running again. BSW

Would you recommend using grease or oil on a Mini-14 that's going to be used in a very dusty environment? BSW

Totally form over function on this one. Milled receiver is heavier than stamped, wood is heavier than the plastic it came with, bakelite ain't as tough as modern fiber filled nylon. With all that said, I still like the way it looks. BSW

Anyone know a distributor for Nycolube? I'm looking to price a few gallons Nycolube 127 but not having any luck finding a distributor. Thanks. BSW

Thought I'd do a review of my Sig 556 after its had a few rounds thru it. So far I've run about 1500 rounds thru this rifle: mostly PMC but some Hornandy, Federal, and Tula. So far I've had 1 malfunction, a failure to fire. Of course, this occurred during a rifle match, while the timer was...

Got the new Houge G10 grips I ordered for the P226. They are thinner (both side to side and fore and aft) than the stock plastics. I got the checkered option and they have some teeth but aren't crazy abrasive. I also got the DAK option, so no more empty decocking slot gap, which just annoyed...

The data is from the spec sheet for some new grease I got. Anyone recognize the chemicals? I'm wondering about EP protection and anti-rust properties for my application. Thanks. BSW
