No, and no.
An AR-10 can slamfire, the initial reviews of the SR-25 rifle (circa late 1993) noted the gun would occasionally fire w/o actuation of the trigger, supposed cause was use of Federal...
Tracer bullets NEVER fly the same as a ball round. Why? The ball round keeps most of its mass in flight, the tracer's is affected by the tracer's burn. For starters, the bullet leaves the barrel...
The M-249 was originally built in Belgum and used Belgian designed ammo. The added length of the tracer added burn time, as existing 5.56 mm bullets did not have sufficient capacity for the desired...
Actually, DENSITY of the bullet determines twist rate, not the length. You can get an 80 grain HPBT bullet to stabilize in a .221 Fireball, assuming the twist rate is appropriate. Change bullet...
AHHHHHH! Breaking your bolt while cleaning it is a bad idea!!!!! :D

Depending on the type of target used, it is legal to use electronic targets for NRA highpower. Let us not forget that F-Class is part of highpower, not an independent discipline.

NOTE: Videographer tried firing the rifle, fortunately, it did not discharge.
Okay. Not a blowup, but not a bolt-actioned AR either.

BTW, the article in "PS" mentioned that the bullet that lodged in the barrel was a 150...
Such occurrences are more common that you might think. Many .300 Whisper loads will fit in a 5.56 mm chamber with little or no resistance felt by the shooter. Firing the mischambered Whisper...
Normally, this is "station pressure", which is measured using a precision barometer. DO NOT use "pressure" as reported on the TV news - it is local pressure, corrected to sea level values - this is...
Recall hearing something on shooting .50 BMG rifles. FCSA has a rule on shooting rifles in a match, muzzle brakes MUST be attached to the rifle. Think this a SAFETY rule, which cannot be ignored. ...
I could be wrong but believe small bottles of Tabasco are packed IN MREs, or at least, used to be packed in them. Something about adding flavor to the "food".

The CR tuner is still considered a "brake" by Browning, the BOSS patent requires that holes be present.
I used to push 125 grain bullets through a Model 70 BOSS rifle, using 50 grains of IMR-4895...
No. Crooks eliminating each other will be yet another justification for ridding the country of firearms and ammo.
Proof: In response to "criminal activity" in Chicago and other cities, Tommy...
2.38" is a bit short for loading a .308 Winchester round, however, you should not have problems removing a fired case. One thought for a candidate cartridge: 6 BR. Using a 7 to 8 twist barrel, you...
Loading port length of the .308 bolt face action? Asking because if it is .308 length, it adds to the possibilities for caliber choices.
Build a pair of prone only rifles? Or F-Class rifles?...
