Repairing Inexpensive Colt 22 Rifles: Courier, Colteer and Stagecoach

If someone were to ask you which products Colt has sold over the years, would you say a .22 semiautomatic rifle? I didn’t think you would. Colt made three versions of .22 rifles, the Courier, Colteer and Stagecoach, as well as others under several private-label names for Sears, Wards and other companies. This alloy rifle shot well, but did not hold up well. Unless it was kept oiled and clean, the alloy parts wore very rapidly. In spite of this, the little Colt rifles were good enough lightweight shooters that most owners will pay to get them fixed rather than discard theirs.

Troubleshooting Ejection Failures On the Remington 1100

Introduced in 1963, the Remington Model 1100 shotgun has been around for over 40 years now. Variations include a sporter for field shooting, a Magnum version for ducks and geese, as well as a skeet and trap model for those who enjoy breaking clay targets. In all, there have been well over 3,500,000 Model 1100s produced over this period of time so you are bound to see one (or more) come across your bench. In this article, I’ll cover some of the common problems that result in ejection failures along with a few of the possible glitches that aren’t seen very often. And, of course, I’ll examine the cures that will help you get this shotgun back in service as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Evil + Stupid = Bipartisan

What's ahead for the midterms? Jeff Knox at The Firearms Coalition says, 'There might be a few Democrats who haven't been able to bring themselves to declare support for the Second Amendment, but the official party line is broad support for the constitutional right, while interpreting it in the narrowest terms, and doing all they can to undermine and dismantle it.' As for the other party, 'Republicans, on the other hand, are generally supportive of the right to arms, but few of them have any more understanding of the issue than do the Democrats. They definitely lack the resolve and the backbone to vigorously oppose the Democrats' attacks on the Constitution and the President's appointments of radical extremists to the courts and high level government positions.'

GOP Candidate Holds 'Machine Gun Social'

September 28, 2009

GREENVILLE, SC -- A South Carolina candidate for the state's adjutant general position held a "machine gun social" at Allen Arms Indoor Range as his first campaign fundraiser.

Dean Allen is running to become adjutant general, who is in charge of the states defense forces such as the South Carolina National Guard.

For $25, donors to his campaign got barbecue and a chance to fire the machine gun of their choice. The highlight of the event was the big giveaway, one AK-47 valued at around $700.

Allen chose the venue because it reflects his emphasis on Second Amendment rights.

The winner of the AK-47 will have to pass a background check before taking it home.

Adjutant General? This guy belongs on the ticket for Senator! And how cool would it be to pay $25 bucks, eat South Carolina BBQ (which is some of the best on the planet), shoot a machine gun, an M16A2 from the look of it, and walk away with an AK-47? What a great country!

I'm envious.

I'm with you Gaviota, maybe this will be the start of a trend.

Rat a tat tat tat tat tat tat tat !

Oh Yes! There is nothing quite like the sound of full automatic fire.....music to these old (and hard-of-hearing) ears. Last year, I attended our city's Citizens' Police Academy. It was a well presented course that met once a week for about four months. It really was a great way for us to learn the ins and outs of our police department, along with gaining an understanding of the problems with which the department has to deal. A couple of highlights of the course was the ride-along with an officer on his shift and.....range day. During range day, we were treated to many demonstrations, and.....we all got to burn several hundred rounds in full automatic fire using H&K MP5s. I'd guess that was the first full automatic fire I'd participated in since I was with the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam. What a hoot!

Allen Arms Indoor Range? Any connection to Dean Allen? Family, etc.? Senator?! To bad he is not getting nominated/appointed to the US Supreme Court. Lock & Load.

I would love to have an H&K MP5. Howdy Col.

I had my fill of automatic fire and as a result cleaned my M60 so many times I could complete the task while blindfolded. I wouldn't mind firing an M47 Dragon, but you won't find it at an indoor range.

Boy that would have been fun but indoor ranges don't have my favorite full auto, the good ol great Ma Deuce, man do I love firing a twin set of them. God Bless America and Our Troops, Past, Present and Future. Keeping to My Oath Locked Loaded and Keeping My Powder Dry

Hey Bear1, have you been feeling okay? I haven't seen you post in awhile. If you've been feeling under the weather, take echinacea to boost your immune system. Dry gun powder is useless if you're not around to use it.
