  1. My friend has a Rem 700 in 338 Lapua with the muzzle brake the muzzle blast is worse than the recoil,not bad at all plus wow 338 lapua seems to be one of those "inherantly" accurate calibers. I would guess punching holes in paper under 100 yards a lesser caliber would save money. but at 1200+ yards the longer barrel life as compared to the 300 magnums might make the 338 lapua a break even caliber. The 300 magnums are an owie caliber and the 338 Lapua a manly caliber? I almost forgot to add I loaded a bunch of 200 Gn Sierra Matchkings in 300 Weatherby mag a couple of years ago and at max recommended charge with H1000 powder, the primers looked great so I didn't measure the cases. My shoulder had a black and blue spot from the recoil though. Seems the H1000 powder is a good choice.

  2. The Glock pistol was designed by a man in plastics looking to get into a new discipline for monetary gain. The Glock has few, if any, real problems (most are imagined). If the Glock were not a robust concept, then why does everyone now offer some form of flattery?

    My point is that who designs it does not assure any success or failure. Good, and bad, ideas come from many sources.

    The alternative would be a gun designed by committee; that typically leads to a whole host of compromises that ultimately make no one happy, and everybody a bit upset.

    What IMO makes a Glock is they are simple and they work. That is a wonderful concept.
  3. Fix it but don't refinish it . It is is in good shooting shape and if it is like a Win model 12 it will be nice to shoot. Win mod 12 shotguns are cool if you hold the trigger in the firing position it will fire as you pump it.

  4. The AR was designed by an aircraft guy. It has AR problems.

    The biggest whoops with the AR is the change to the carbine length barrel. The change causes an increase in cycling speeds which beats the parts to an earlier death as compared to the 20 inch barrel set up.

    The beauty of an AR is it is cheap to produce, Easy to fix with minimal if any machine work needed.

    The AK was designed by a tractor type guy. It has AK problems

    The FAL has its FAL problems.

    The M14 has M14 problems etc.

    I will say that the AR and the AK have had a long in service period which says much .
