Can you put a .308 barrel on an M95?

October 29, 2026 by gwebs

On a Mauser Model 95 (7×57), yes, a gunsmith can do it, because the .308 uses the same size bolt face. On a Steyr M95 straight-pull, it’s not practical.

How do I smooth out a stiff Remington 700 bolt?

October 29, 2026 by gwebs

Most of the stiffness is the bolt cocking the firing pin when you lift the handle. Clean and grease the cocking cam and the backs of the locking lugs, then keep shooting. It smooths out with use.

What ammo shoots the tightest groups from a 16-inch, 1:7 twist AR-15?

October 29, 2026 by gwebs

Start with 69 to 77 grain match ammo. A 1:7 twist barrel stabilizes heavy bullets well, and they usually group best.

What’s the most “dad” gun?

October 29, 2026 by gwebs

A Ruger 10/22. It’s the rifle that teaches the kids to shoot, the ammo is cheap, and it lasts forever.
