    Springfield 1842 rifle-musket

    Shot fair for using the wrong type ammo... First shot with my recently purchased Armisport-made Springfield 1842 rifle-musket. Didn't have time to put together actual paper cartridges, and only had .69 round ball. Loaded it with patched round ball, using Goex CTG grade powder and CCI...

    POF drop-in trigger for AR-556

    Thanks for the opinion. My wife bought the POF 4.5 # trigger for my birthday. Gonna try it out this weekend.

    Already installed. Range trip, maybe, on Monday or Tuesday to try it out.

    POF drop-in trigger for AR-556

    Anyone have any experience with them. They look like decent parts, and the price is good. And the videos on them look good. I'm thinking of putting one in my Ruger AR-556 to replace the factory trigger parts.

    Between the wife and I we took over 2,000 photos. I'll spare you posting all of them...

    Cumbres & Toltec

    Beginning of the month my wife and I made the trip to Chama, NM to ride the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. We stayed across from the station at the Parlor Car Bed & Breakfast. All iin all, a very enjoyable trip... More pics to come...

    How my shooting deck grew up in 4 years

    I like it, but my wife, who is a building inspector, is sitting here shaking her head.

    AR-556 trigger

    Right now, I'd like to start be getting rid of the drag and smoothing it out. We'll see about things after I polish it.

    AR-556 trigger

    Mine doesn't. It is very bad.

    AR-556 trigger

    To put it in two simple words - It suuuuuuuuucks! It might just be my rifle, but it is long, creepy and doesn't break consistently. I've broken it down, cleaned, lubed, etc. Next step is a little judicious polishing. If that doesn't work, I'll be changing out the trigger group.

    Added a red dot...

    Found an open box Vortex Strikefire II for about 25% off, so I added it to my AR-556. Pics maybe tomorrow when I go to the range to sight it in.

    AR556 maiden outing

    Now I need optics for it. Older eyes not seeing the iron sights as well. What to get, what to get... Good thing I have a bonus coming the middle of the month.

    AR556 maiden outing

    The daughter-in-law... Can I have one in purple to match my hair? The son... Cookie monster pants - sign of a stone cold - something. I'm not sure what...

    AR556 maiden outing

    The wife shooting the AR. Her comment after? When do I get one? The wife and my daughter-in-law... Ok, put one round off the big rock up there, bank it off the empty 55-gallon drum, past the big cactus, off the outcropping, and ring the small gong target...

    AR556 maiden outing

    Ran 150 rounds of American Eagle 62 gr. 5.56mm, and 100 rounds of Federal bulk .223 through it without a single problem. The good news is we had no difficulties ringing my metal gong (supposedly rated for .308) at better than seventy yards standing and offhand. The bad news is my metal gong was...
