Roger, there are other guns designed to close upon seating a full magazine. For me, automatic closing of a slide on a loaded magazine on a DAO pistol is no...
Actually I'm selling it to a friend and I wanted to get as much information as possible before I did. I told him about it and he still wants the pistol. I ...
This is one reason I do NOT use the slide lock lever to release the slide unless I'm closing the slide on an empty mag, in which case I will pull the slide to...
New tactic of anti-gun fanatics repost; Palo Alto Ca. While I was driving south on 101 I passed by the Ikea store which has a big electronic sign. There was...
When ramming a mag home in any pistol I use fast and firm not 'stick in and slap', that's not a good idea. Than pull the slide and release to pick up a...
I've been spinning my wheels for weeks, trying to decide whether to get a Marlin 336 in .30-30, or to get a pistol caliber carbine in either 9mm or .40 S&W. ...
Before the s**t hits the fan as a result of the VA Tech shootings today, I ordered some high-cap mags--that i don't realy need and previously did not really...
... RD: You know full well Dianne Fienstien is chomping at the bit to reinstate her ban on high cap mags. This is definitely going to be her excuse. RHR...
Check the Practical_Carbine homepage pic--the Marlin 45 has a flash hider on it--very effective for what it's worth. Last time i checked Williams hd a set of...
Yes, I'll add to the confusion. You may wish to consider the politically correct urban assault rifle - a Marlin 1894 in 357 Mag. Short, handy, non-threatening...
... We seem to be getting off the selection the original poster was considering but I too like the short barreled lever guns. When I moved into the city a...
Jack, Don't bite on the 30-30 if you have an interest in high power rifle levels. It ranks well below the .308 in range and effectiveness. And the tubular...

... Thanks to all for the advice and suggestions. Does it make sense to reload .38 Special and .357 Mag rds, or can this ammunition be bought too cheaply? Jack...
I agree completely, I don't own one of those (did own a 30-30 336) but only because I have a Marlin Camp 9 & 45 with pistols using same cartridge/clips. Have...
Jack; I'm not well versed in .30 caliber carbines, though I do share your train of thought. I inherited a MK V Lee Enfield Jungle carbine (bolt action) which ...
... I'm looking forward to seeing a Sub-2000 in person, but I admit to being very skeptical of inexpensive guns. I have an AR-7 (Charter Arms version), and...
Thanks fot the tips, I fouind a 2X red-dot sight for it. I haven't thought of a 'throat job' - explain? I have done OK with my best handloads using 185 gr....
A good test RD, thanks for being the magazine guinea pig. Cliff _____ From: Practical_Carbine@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Practical_Carbine@yahoogroups.com] On...
I had a Marlin 336 30-30, loved it but sold it off since I wanted an '06 for hunting - the purpose of the Marlin. I have a Marlin Camp in 9mm and like it, I...
Got the mag and it wouldn't lock into the Marlin. I have 5 brands of mags that work fine so I knew the problem was with the ProMag. From my measurements it...
If you shoot more than maybe eight boxes a year, it will be to your advantage to reload. You don't need much, and all of it will fit in a middle sized fishing...
... The difficulty many have finding a Sub2K says a lot about how they work. I now have 2. Bought a .40 first, liked it so much I bought another in 9mm for the...
I've been trying to find a KT SUB2000 for a customer of mine and have had ZERO luck, they are VERY popular. Matt "what is best in life? To crush your enemies,...
