I no longer have a copy of the movie (loaned it out and it hasn't returned yet), to compare with the article pics. Going from memory, I'd say that's pretty darn close to the rifle in the movie. Good job.

On one hand,, I can't think of anything more worthless to own. The other hand has an itchy trigger finger and keeps saying "Save Up, We's gots to have the Precious."

I like the .40 S&W. I've no problem with the recoil in 165 or 180 gr. Out of my Walther PPW M2, it's a potent combo. With the PPQ's excellent trigger, triple taps are attainable. For carry, I prefer the Hornady Critical Duty 175gr offering. Would I want .40 in my SIG P365 or Hellcat? No, even...

Once again,, AL has published an Excellent Article with the history of a truly innovative, ahead of its time weapon, ignored by the history books for the most part. I'm really intrigued that the evidence strongly supports that Dr. Beeman's rifle is the original rifle Lewis carried...

Excellent article, with a great history of the gun. What an Ouside of the Box idea for converting from semi to full auto and back again. So simple it seems obvious. I've not had the privilege of firing very many Full Auto guns, but this one is now on my bucket list. Thanks again

I know. I work with it every off. As long as the precautions are followed it's not an issue. I've used it to degrease AR parts for Ceracoating, and it does work very well for that. I've not owned an SKS for a long time 30+ years ago. I do remember how much of a pain in the butt it was...

I wonder if Naphthazoline would work better on metal parts vs mineral spirits?

Sonic, I've the same big hand issue. I added a Hogue slip on on my P365. It helped a little.

I've found it more difficult to load as I've aged. Wasn't as much of an issue back in the day, but now I struggle and Thank the Powers that be, for Mag Loader tools. I haven't tried Uplula loader yet. I've been using Makershot's for my guns that didn't come with a loader. I'll have to pick one...

I've not been a 1911 fan. I briefly owned a clone in the early 80's that was a complete lemon. Couldn't get through one mag without at least two stoppages, and accuracy was abysmal. It also didn't make a whole lot of sense watching others plop down $600 to $700 for a US made 1911, and then...

Enjoyed the article and everyone's comments. I came of age shortly after 'Nam ended (in 77'). At that time, when I tried to enlist, the recruiter told me to finish college first. I ended up working Federal Civil Service for 3 years before trying college again. So to my eternal shame, I didn't...

Thanks TSIWRX. Main limitations at our range are only be able to draw from the 3:00 belt position, movement, and staying in the lane. Movement laterally is a no, movement back and forth towards or away from the target is only about 4 feet. Big thing is, we're all recorded 24/7. So even going in...

Thanks Killer Ford. Appreciate your adaptations and I will certainly try those. Indoor range rules and drills do create conflicting practice.

Age and infirmity put an end to my hunting. I do use 5.56 for pest removal and recently built a .300 AAC. It wouldn't have a problem if I decided to take a Mule raiding the garden. While I still have "Olde Bessy"(in .300 Win Mag), a 1967 H&R Sako to reach out and touch someone. I do find it...

Good article, and I appreciate having the drills all in one article for future reference. Unfortunately, at our local indoor range, most are a No No with the the range rules, but hey, adapt and improvise.

Has the Military ever studied Dry vs Wet Lubricants in Extremes? If memory serves, the Lubricant issue during the Korean War winters, was across the board with the US Weapon's systems, not just the 1911. Interesting history. Thank you

Very impressive. I've been shooting for 50 years, and I don't think I'm at 15,000 rounds across all the calibers I've shot. I've never wanted an M1A, but now I'm thinking about it. Darn you LOL.

Excellent Article. Oh for the days when a surplus ComBloc SKS sold for $75 (extra Cosmoline was free). Wish I'd been smart enough in the 80's to buy as many as I could, as prices now are well over $300. My biggest and only real complaint with the SKS was the short length of pull. At 6' 4", my...

It's too bad that there isn't more colleges like Hillsdale. Our country would be better off if there were more. The overwhelming number of our institutes of higher education are cesspools of Liberal Bull Schiff.

Thank you for a very interesting article. Yes it does raise many questions which will probably never be known. Having an amateur historian interest in small arms development from 1850 to 1920, the Great War, and subsequent arms development for early aircraft fits in that category. All of the...
