  1. I have never had this happen to me but it did. I bought federal brand ammo for 80 cents which is a lot cheaper than where I am from. However when I went to load clips, all the ammo are mixed brands. As I started to go through the ammo there is 556 and 223 so my question is can a gun store/pawn shop do this? PLEASE HELP ASAP!! THANK YOU!

    This nation was built on a citizenry that owned a rifle and had the ability to use it in the protection of their family, home, and community. This course is based on that premise. We will mentor you in the principles and concepts of rifle marksmanship and its employment from close range out to intermediate distances. A strong foundation will be built on the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, working through rifle manipulation and mechanics, understanding and achieving a proper zero, positional shooting, precision marksmanship, and rapid target engagement at distance. At the conclusion of this course, you will be a more knowledgeable and capable Armed Citizen. See you on the range! Always Vigilant, Always Prepared! Personal Survival Solutions Shane & Calley Kerwin

    This course picks up where Close Range Rifle/Carbine I left off. We will be taking a more in-depth look at the 50 yard and in, close range problem set. This course will augment and add to the skills learned in the previous course. Rifle marksmanship and manipulations will continue to be emphasized, with the implementation of critical thinking and problem-solving. Simple and complexed malfunctions will be addressed, along with instituting movement and shooting, unorthodox and bi-lateral shooting, use of cover and barricades are some of the topics that will be covered during this coursework. With the uncertain times that we are seeing in our country today, the ability to employ a rifle/carbine in the protection of yourself and loved ones is an important skill to master and integrate into your personal protective system. If you are operating with a Red Dot or LPVO, Back-Up sights are highly recommended. See you on the range! Always Vigilant, Always Prepared! Personal Survival Solutions Shane & Calley Kerwin

  5. Saturday NOVEMBER 21 will be the next meeting of the TN/GA/AL Training Group. Subject: Practical Application of Medical Skills in a Team Environment. Shoot, Move ,Communicate and Plug Holes. Date : Saturday November 21, 2020 Location: 763 County Rd 332 Pisgah AL (35 min from downtown Chattanooga) Time : 9AM- 3PM Central Time Price : $100 Pay at class check or cash.

Guest lecturer will be Jeff Bishop ( USMC, Louisville KY Fire, Police and EMS) What to bring: Rifle (or PCC ) and at least 2 mags and 60 rounds for it. Pistol and at least 2 mags and 75 rounds for it. In fact, in light of the current ammo situation if you want to run a .22 rifle and / or pistol feel free to do so. Bring as many mags as you want and as much gear and ammo as you want to carry. If you want to run this class with chest rig and armor then that is fine. If you want to run it in CCW street clothes and just a rifle with spare mag in your pocket that is fine too. Up to you. This material is not gear dependent. Also bring any med gear you normally carry. We will take a look at and discuss items and options. If you do not already have any gear then we can show you what to get and where to get it. Bring something to write with and note taking material.

  10. TN / GA / AL Suarez Training Group! On Saturday July 28 we will hold our July meeting for the TN/GA/AL Regional Suarez Int Training Group! Subject: ARE YOU QUALIFIED? Instructor: Tier 1 Suarez Int Staff Instructor Randy Harris Location: The usual place- Phillips/Edwards Farm 763 County Rd 332 Pisgah AL 35765 Time: 9AM CENTRAL time - 3PM CENTRAL time Price: $80 - pay at class cash or check. What you need to bring: Pistol, pistol magazines and at least 250 rounds of pistol ammo. Revolvers are welcome if you want to party like it is 1899. Also a Rifle with 50 rounds and shotgun with 11 slugs and 5 rounds of 00 Buckshot if you choose to do the FBI Rifle and Shotgun qualifications. We will shoot several police and federal agency qualification courses. We will shoot the FBI Pistol Qual, the ATF Pistol Qual, LAPD SWAT Pistol Qual and then the FBI Rifle and FBI Shotgun qual courses. I will also keep records of these (if you are happy with your scores) for future reference and use . This will serve to get your shooting prowess on record in case it is ever needed in the future in some legal matter. This is also something your church might like to have for their records if you are a member of a church security team. As far as the courts are concerned if it isn't documented it didn't happen so this is an opportunity to get some official scores on paper in case you ever need them . Not only that but it will be a good day of shooting some somewhat challenging courses.
  11. Anyone have a Throat Erosion Gauge for an M1 Garand I could use, borrow or rent? I ordered the Muzzle Erosion Gauge as it will come in handy for any 30 Cal, but the TE Gauge is caliber specific and this is the only 30/06 I own. I highly doubt I will need it beyond the initial check, I'm just trying to get the initial numbers to see where it stands right now. If in Nashville or Clarksville area maybe we can get together and just check it on site this weekend.
  12. Looking for a little 'baseline' info. I am not 'new' to reloading, but something I thought would be a walk in the park now has me seeking advice. I picked up a boat-load of German (MEN) 7.62 which has proven reliable in my FAL. I've been chasing the brass around for a while now and figured I'd re-load some. Got another deal on Hornady 155 gn BTHP from Midway, and I was enthusiastic about this particular bullet as it has a cannalure exactly where it should be and these are destined for the FAL, a good solid crimp seems prudent... and it was really inexpensive. Looked up some load data for 155 gr bullets to select a powder and settled on Hodgdon BL-C (2). Hodgdon data recommends a 45 gr starting load with a maximum of 48 gr. Now it gets interesting. Brass was de-capped full length re-sized using a Lee .308 Winchester die, and tumbled for a day. MEN does not appear to stake in primers so I did not need to mess with primer pockets. I seated Winchester WLR Standard Large Rifle primers. I dropped my first charge in the case (45 gr) and it was REALLY close to the neck. Puzzled, I threw a 48 gr charge and put this in a second case. This was well into the neck of the case... there is no way this is gonna work! I checked calibration on my digital scale and it's perfect. I did a little looking around on the internet and discovered that 7.62 brass is 'typically' thicker and may have a heaver 'web' than .308. I have not attempted to do a case volume measurement, I've never messed with this before. I am assuming (and you know what that means) the MEN cases are markedly smaller internally than the Winchester brass used to produce the Hodgdon data. From what I am 'observing, it looks to me like 45 grs is going to be about max without compressing, and there is no way I want to start compressing a ball powder! With bullet at the cannalure, LOA will be exactly 2.80 inches. So the question here, is how far back should I go to select a 'starting' charge. My gut is telling me maybe 42 gr, and work up in half grs from there. Any thoughts??
