This week in our reading we focused on the Ruger 10/22. In this short paper, I will briefly go over what I thought of our coursework this week. I’ve owned a few .22 rifles…never a 10/22 though. I’ve thought of buying one a few times, the only reason I haven’t is because I though there were cheaper weapons that served me just as well as a 10/22 could.
Our course text opened by going over the history of the Ruger 10/22. Our course text stated that “Since 1964, America’s favorite semi-automatic rimfire rifle has been the Ruger®10/22®. With a wide range of styles for a variety of applications, such as target shooting, plinking, varmint hunting, and competition, the 10/22 is known for having a sleek design, perfect balance, and superb accuracy.” There’s no doubt that the Ruger 10/22 has served many people very well… I’ve shot them a lot and the accuracy I get from them isn’t what I was looking for in a .22. I don’t think there is anything wrong the firearm, but it just didn’t serve me as I’d like it to in the accuracy department.

Chambered for the .22 long rifle cartridge — regular or high velocity — it is designed for small game hunting and informal target shooting” I completely agree with the statement pertaining to small game, and “informal target shooting.” I believe that the 10/22 performs great in those categories. Our text went on to tell us that “Being a true carbine and having a barrel that measures only 18.5”, it also sports a stock that has carbine styling — the buttplate is curved, and the forearm is circled with carbine-style barrel bands. It features basic pistol-grip stock configurations, and the action is a blowback-operated type, fed by a unique 10shot detachable rotary magazine. Most 10/22s come with a fully adjustable folding leaf sight, and their receivers are also drilled and tapped for

A firearm is a very complex tool that has grown in s verbal ways over several years, each version better than the last, all of which changing the world in a new way.All across the world and across several eras firearms have been used, firearms have also been the reason for wars and laws, as a very important part of our history it is appropriate that several facts are clearly stated.Back in the Han dynasty, under the leadership of emperor Wu Di, gunpowder was discovered. This particular document will include such topics such as the one previously stated and early firing systems and other weapons, also a brief history of military issued pistols through America's history and your rights as an american citizen to bear arms. Firearms, from early
In 1862 Dr. Richard Gatling invented and patented the original six-barrel, .58 caliber Gatling gun that fired up to 300 rounds per minute (McNab). The Gatling Gun became just the beginning, however, as it would lead to world renowned inventions in the military and change war forever.
In addition to advancements in smaller firearms, the US military also saw improvements in the sector of long range rifles. Muzzle loading muskets from the Revolutionary War were highly inefficient and and extremely dangerous to use. When on the battlefield, trying to load a muzzle loading musket became very complicated. If the soldier loaded a bullet but it got jammed, and they tried to fire, the musket would explode in their face, causing many unnecessary injuries to the soldier force (National Park Service, “Evolution of the Breechloader”). With the invention of the breech loader, loading a rifle became exceedingly simple. In a breech loading rifle, the soldier loads a cartridge containing the bullet and the gunpowder into a chamber. They would then proceed to fire the weapon. This method of loading a weapon was
The 1853 Enfield Rifle-Musket, a 1,400-millimeter gun that can fire up to 1,250 yards with a muzzle velocity of 430 meters per second, is essential to be known how to be used by all real men. Fortunately, it’s easy to handle if you follow a few precise steps. First, you must start off by gathering all the materials needed to load this carbine rifle. These materials include a rifle musket, percussion cap, ramrod, and a paper cartridge, and a .58-caliber miniature ball. Then, you tear open the paper cartridge, either by hand or with your teeth, and disperse the powder down the barrel. After this, you must take out the miniature ball from inside the paper cartridge and place it securely into the barrel of the rifle. Once this action is complete, you take out your ramrod and force the ball far down the barrel; this will put the ball alongside the power. Next, grab your percussion cap and sturdily place it on the nipple of your Enfield. This will allow for sparks to enkindle the powder once the cap is battered. Now you’re almost ready to fire! All you have left to do is cock your 1853 Enfield Rifle-Musket back as far as possible and pull the trigger.
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.
This weeks segment of material covers the common misconceptions associated with the wide variety of calibers and how to properly identify them. In the video it centered the some of the focus on .22 caliber and the common confusion that comes along with that caliber. At this point i’m going to cover in my own words where the most friction points come too.
The first time I shot a firearm, my uncle had taken me on a trip past the outskirts of town and before being able to question the reasoning for this location. He was briefing me on proper safety etiquette; and shortly thereafter, I was taking my first shots toward an old washing machine. I reflect on that feeling of pure happiness, intertwined with astonishment while emptying that initial magazine and seeing the holes I had created. I’ll never forget the feeling of power the firearm had forced upon me while simultaneously demanding respect and awareness for the weapon. Showing
Since its creation the firearm has served as man’s best means of self preservation, has helped in the expansion of frontiers, and has served to help many, including Americans, to secure and enforce their rights and maintain democracy. Even today our military uses firepower to prevent the spread of tyranny throughout the world. We refer to our troops as “armed forces” and the necessity of maintaining our firepower has been recognized throughout the human history, which the firearm has helped to shape. The founding fathers of this nation recognized the necessity of arming the average citizen to protect the rights so dearly purchased through armed revolution, and it was these men, all veterans of that revolution, that made it part of our
Mr. Carlos begins his article by comparing winters he is accustomed to living in the far north part of our country. He explains that due to harsh winters, most shooters will shoot indoors. Surprisingly, he stated that a few people have set up their own indoor ranges. For those without the necessary space (or spousal permission) there are a lot ranges with indoor accommodations. It also serves to help keep shooter's sharp during the cold season. One downside of these ranges is their shunning of full metal jacket ammunition, or ball ammo. So shooters will use a conversion kit to change their rifles into .22 lr shooting weapons. However when this was first done by Colt many years ago, there were accuracy issues. Mr. Carlos further elaborates that due to a larger bore, and rifling twist rate differentials One solution
This improvement, it states that it was designed for war. As it was superior to any other gun invented at the time. It could fire repeatedly up to five hundred times, which again, at this period in history was well above small
To inspect what the problem is, he utilizes some inert rounds (dummy) in order to check the feeding. As he is working with this weapon, a shell falls out from the bottom while pumping the shotgun. Immediately he suspects he cartridge stop being the culprit. On the underside where you load the shells, he shows the viewer the two plates facing opposite. One is the primary cartridge stop, and the other is secondary. One holds the shell, and as you pumo, the primary disengages, and the secondary cartridge stop pops out, and holds the cartridge (in the tubular magazine I'm assuming). The corrective action for this to replace the primary cartridge stop. It can be anything from a simple bend, to as bad as needing to completely replace the part.

In this short paper I will cover my thoughts on the article provided for this week’s article summary, “All About AR-15 Sights, American Gunsmith August 2015, by Joe Carlos.” While I don’t exactly jump with joy when we get an article about something I’m familiar with already, I try to get a bit of useful information out of it anyway…. Here are my thoughts on this week’s article. I can’t help but love how a lot of these articles start with rants by the author about a hodgepodge of things… Mr. Carlos briefly spoke about how absolutely useless the Clinton Era “Assault Weapons” Ban was… I’d have to say that I completely agree with him and the undertones he shared in regards to some of the purely cosmetic components on weapons that made them “evil black guns” post ban.
Everyone who has ever been hunting or fought with the U.S. Armed Forces has benefited from John Browning – and chances are they don’t even know it! John Browning’s company holds 128 patents for 80 different kinds of weapons, and he started it all out of his little shop in Ogden. His gun inventions and improvements were so good that from World War I through the Korean War, the U.S. Armed Forces wouldn’t put a gun made by anyone else in the hands of a U.S. soldier.
