How to Build an Inexpensive and Easy to Assemble DIY Target Stand

Pretty much everything you need for this project you should be able to find at your local hardware store, Menard’s, Lowe’s, or Home Depot as they have pretty much everything you need. You’ll want one 2×4 for each stand and then two 2×3’s for the posts because they’re a bit cheaper than the 2×4’s and they’re a bit lighter, which is why it’s better to use them for the posts and not for the base. But use a 2×4 for the base because it’s a bit heavier, more durable and it’s not going to be something you replace, it will be a permanent fixture for the target stand.

Magpul Mags for the Glock.

I’m a huge Glock fan. I’ve owned Glocks for years. I have a lot of different models of Glocks. When I heard that Magpul was introducing the P mag for the Glock 17 I was really excited because I knew the price would be right and the quality would be there. You know there’s a lot of aftermarket mags out there and you should not buy them because there have been so many problems with them. And you know that Magpul is standing behind it, it’s gonna be a great product.

Can I Clean a Gun Too Much?

The big question is how often should I clean my gun. Is it possible to over clean it? And after I clean it how do I properly lubricate it, should I use oil or grease? The first gun I’m going to look at as a Glock 19. This particular gun is new right out of the box and. After working with a little bit. I noticed that it had a really bad trigger pull. So I’m going to take it out to the range to fire it enough to get it to break in. I’m going to do a cleaning on it and then when we get back from the range, we’ll clean it again.

How To Clean A Bolt Action Rifle

All right. Here we go. I’m cleaning up some of my rifles and today I’m going to explain how to clean a bolt action rifle. First thing we’re gonna do is make sure that weapon is unloaded and safe to clean, and make sure there’s nothing up the barrel and the chamber is empty. So let’s go ahead and get it on the bench and get started. OK. We now have the weapon on the bench. This particular model is a .30-06 Savage. First thing you’re going to want to do is pull the bolt out. If you’re not sure how to pull the bolt out go ahead and look at the manufacturer’s Web site. There’s usually articles or refer to your book that the weapon came with. So I’ve got the bolt out. Go ahead and get started on it. One thing you need is a sturdy fixture for holding your gun during the cleaning process. For this I am using Hyskore’s www.hyskore.com 30022 Parallax Gun Cleaning and Sighting Rest https://hyskore.com/products/30022-cleaning-sighting-rest-2/. You can lock down the gun and not worry about things getting away from you.

30317 AR 15 magazine rack and organizer  

Starting in World War 1, the US military used the 30-06 .30 caliber cartridge for its Model 1903 Springfield bolt action service rifle, and then in World War II for its Model M1 Garand semi-automatic service rifle,.30 caliber BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) and for the Browning .30 caliber machine gun. The 30 caliber M1 cartridge was both powerful and had range capabilities that exceeded 1000 yards. For the type of conflicts and engagements that the US was involved in from 1917 through 1954, this rifle and cartridge combination was a perfect fit. After the Korean conflict and the forming of NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) the US and its allies agreed to have commonality of ammunition. For handguns, this was the 9mm Parabellum. For rifles, this became the .308 otherwise known as the 7.62 x 51. This cartridge had almost identical ballistics to its predecessor the .30-06, but it was shorter, and therefore could be utilized in rifles with shorter and therefore lighter actions.
