Post a CommentA Trio OF M14s: Springfield, Fulton Armory, Polytech Custom
November. 22nd 2010
In the world of 308 auto-loading rifles, the M14 and its look-alikes reign just about supreme. They have it all, looks, power, function, capacity, plus a great variety of stock and accessory configurations from wood to all manner of polymer that can convert an M14 or M1A into just about any configuration you might want, particularly if you have deep pockets. In this test we look at [IMGCAP(1)]three wood-stocked versions, a remanufactured Chinese-actioned Polytech M14/S that was converted several years ago by Fulton Armory into a mostly GI-part rifle (about $1900), a new Fulton Armory M14 ($2755), and an M1A from Springfield Armory ($1739). The M14/S was fitted with a Burris 2-8X scope in an S&K mount, but the iron sights were still usable with the scope attached. We used both the scope and iron sights to test that rifle so you could see what one of these rifles can do, and used the irons on the other two. We tested with three types of ball ammunition, the only type recommended in these firearms. It was Federal Gold Medal match, Magtech 150-grain ball from Brazil, and mixed lot of recovered ammunition purchased in bulk with headstamps from Israel, Italy, Belgium, and Canada, which we used unsorted. Here’s what we found.

The witnesses saw Scalia at the Fairfax Rod and Gun Club, where he is a member, around noon on Wednesday of last week.

October. 10th 2010
Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler told members of the state’s top court Thursday that recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings prove state laws restricting people’s right to carry guns in public are constitutional, despite the arguments of a man seeking to overturn the law.
An attorney representing Charles F. Williams Jr., who was arrested in 2007 for carrying a handgun in public in Prince George’s County, argued the same two recent rulings protect his client’s right to bear arms.
