Remington's Argumentative Essay: Why Box It Up?

Rifles with Minié bullets were easy and quick to load, but soldiers still had to pause and reload after each shot. This was inefficient and dangerous. By 1863, however, there was another option: so-called repeating rifles, or weapons that could fire more than one bullet before needing a reload. The most famous of these guns, the Spencer carbine, could fire seven shots in 30 seconds.

Gangsters would use a 12 gauge double barrel sawed off shotgun to deal devastating blows up close. The sawed off would come in handy when they would need a quick escape because

American soldiers usually brought side arms into battle. As the name suggests, these are usually not the weapons used from long ranges, like rifles would be used. The .45 M1911 was one of these side arms. It had very low recoil, making it very accurate in battle. American soldiers

One of the worst weapons I have certification on is the shotgun. The shotgun is a very powerful and intimidating weapon, but you must have a proper fit and stance. A shotgun and its stock are designed based on the dimensions of an average shooter. It has an average length of pull that is measured from the trigger to the center of the recoil pad. A shotgun, needs the proper fitting of a comb, length of pull, cast and drop to meet a comfortable shooting experience.

Mr. Deaner said that “If your rifle doesn’t have a good base it doesn’t matter if your barreled action is perfect or not, it still won’t shoot to its potential. By the same token, if your barrel is a stinker all the glass bedding in the world won’t do much good.” I agree 100% Once I know my barrel is good to go, the first thing I replace with an aftermarket mart is the stock. I currently run Boyd’s stocks on two of my bolt guns and I love the way they fit my hand. I never even though of shooting accurately beyond 100 yards with a .22lr, but after doing a little work on my Savage FVSR in a Boyds stock I’m shooting sub MOA groups at 100 yards… I was very impressed with what I’m able to do with this gun after utilizing some of what I’ve read in our coursework.

First of all I am going to describe what exactly a shotgun is. A shotgun is designed to be fired from the shoulder. The shotgun fires a shell that holds numerous spherical pellets, also called shot when buying them from stores they are classified by the amount of

The Remington Model 1858 was their most popular revolver that they produced. This popular handgun consisted of a large-frame, single-action, six-shot, .44 caliber percussion revolver, with an 8 inch barrel.

In chapter five of the AFY100 textbook it covers the accurizing firearms. There is a lot of modifications that you can do to a firearm to increase its accuracy. Most of the modifications in this chapter are for the Colt 1911. I believe that this chapter goes over the Colt 1911 due to the fact that it is one of the most customized pistols in the industry. I say pistol due to the rather new AR15 style rifles hitting the firearms community by storm with thousands of modifications and attachments that can be put on that firearm. To me the barrel feed ramp modification

During the Civil War, rifled muskets were all the rage. The Rifled Musket was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1858. These new type of muskets had grooves inside of the barrel, meaning that if this gun was partnered with the Minié ball, it would increase both the range and the accuracy of the bullet. The smooth-bore musket (the previous generation of muskets) did not have grooves in the barrel. This means that the bullet is not spinning as it exits and there is a margin of error depending where the bullet exits. This severely reduces the accuracy of a smooth-bore musket. The farther the bullet goes, the more off-target it travels because of the aforementioned margin of error. The Minié ball had grooves and had

Before the M-203, infantry used a weapon called the M-79 grenade launcher. Which largely resembled a sawn off shotgun. The M-79 was designed to take up the gap between maximum hand grenade distance, and minimum mortar fire distance. It could fire an array of projectiles which included darts, buck shots, smoke, gas and flares. The M-79 was ideal in Vietnam terrain.

Both are considered long guns because they are shot from the shoulder and held with two hands. One of the major differences between the two is the barrel. On a rifle the barrel has a thicker wall with a smaller bore and rifling. Rifling is a thin grove or ridges inside the bore to give a spin on the projectile, which increases accuracy and distance. Shotgun has a thinner wall with a smooth bore. Specialty shotguns may have a choke in the bore, which adds a narrowing about 1½ inch from the end of barrel, to control the shot as it leaves. Another option for a choke is a screw on choke. When using a screw on choke one must be cautious about using the correct threaded choke, such as a Remington choke with a Remington barrel. A second difference is rifles use a cartridge and shotgun uses shells. Cartridges are measured in calibers and shells are measured in gages, except .410gage, which is acutely a caliber and would be equivalent to 68gage. Both rifles and shotguns have different types actions, such as single shot, semi-automatic and

Taming slug guns; this is a very interesting article to me as I have shot single barrel shotguns in my youth and know all too well how much they kick, however, I have never seen a shotgun with ported holes drilled in it to reduce the kick. This has truly opened my eyes to how there are so many ways to modify guns to fit the person using it. In my opinion, I would think that drilling holes in the top of the barrel would cause the gun to lose some power/distance of the projectile(s). By releasing gas out of the top of the barrel the pressure that is used to push the projectile down the barrel would lose velocity.

The story is common. A new shooter goes to buy his first defensive handgun with a blurry idea of what he wants and needs. A few slick smiles by the salesman and a haul-truck worth of his personal opinion and the shooter walks out with a firearm they’ll eventually find doesn’t work for them.

Garand in 1919. There were several designs for this gun over the years, the first of them being the M1922, which underwent testing in 1924, with a .30-06 caliber and a primer-operated breech. The second design for the gun was M1924, which produced an indifferent outcome, but resulted in a .276 caliber, gas operated model based on the results. Garand’s model competed with the T1 Pedersen in the spring of 1931, and there was also a single .30-06 model tested, but withdrawn, due to a cracked bolt. Garand’s model easily defeated Pedersen, and was recommended for production on January 4, 1932. On August 3, 1933, 75 of the redesigned semi-automatic rifles, caliber 30 M1 were ready for testing the next May, with them being standardized on January 9, 1936, and the first production model being cleared on July 21,

A Mossberg 500 is a series of pump action firearm manufactured by O.F. Mossberg and the sons. The 500 series comprises widely varying models of Hammer less repeaters, all of which share the same basic receiver and action, but differentiate in bore size,barrel length,choke options,magazine capacity,stock and forearm materials. Model numbers include the 500 series are the 500,505,510,535 and the 590. Made in 1961, all model 500's are based on the same basic concept designed by Carl Benson originally using a single action bar,that was known the bind and even break, but this was changed to a double action bar in the 1970's,following the expiration of Remington's patent on the double action bar design.
