(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Considerations for Projectile Selection There are many different bullets and powders to choose from. Given the very long throats of their chambers, we are mostly limited to heavier and flat based bullets. Choosing the best projectiles for the antique Mausers will help us get the best all around results, quickly. For the purposes of hunting, I would like it to shoot no larger groups than 2 MOA with iron sights and that would limit my shoots to 250 yards if I had 20-20 or better vision and had the rifle on…
On June 9, 1628: The first deportation from what is now the United States: Thomas Morton was deported from Massachusetts. For the local Puritans, Morton’s behavior was just too much.

Armed Citizen® Today In Dandridge, Tenn., around 10 p.m. on June 4, a man watched as a Ford F150 pickup stopped on the street outside his home and backed up. A man then reportedly exited the vehicle carrying a sword and threatening to kill the homeowner. The homeowner grabbed a firearm he kept in his vehicle and shot the assailant dead. Police said the suspect still had the sword in hand when they arrived and took possession of the body for an autopsy. (standardbanner.com; Jefferson City, Tenn.; 6/4/26) From the Armed Citizen® Archives – January 1987 A Milwaukee bartender was…
Most people build an everyday-carry loadout the same way they build a gym routine. They copy something they saw work for someone else, and then they stop questioning it. The gun goes in. The holster goes on. Maybe a spare magazine follows. After that, it becomes habit. Habit is comfortable. It is also lazy. The problem is not that most loadouts are bad. The problem is that most loadouts are never re-examined against reality. Reality has changed. Self-defense shootings still look like they always have—fast, close, chaotic and usually over in seconds. But, the edge cases are more visible now.…
Along the upper Texas coast, about 50 miles southeast of Houston, sits Galveston Island, a barrier island better known for its beaches, marshes, and migratory birds than large predators. Yet for years, residents reported sightings of unusual wild canids roaming the island.It wasn’t until 2008 that local resident and former fisheries biologist Ron Wooten took a closer interest in the island’s canids. After one of the animals killed his pet dog, Wooten began documenting sightings and asking neighbors to report encounters. While most people assumed the animals were simply coyotes, Wooten couldn’t shake the feeling that something was different about…
Handgun muzzle rise is a matter of simple physics. Factors like barrel length, cartridge size and handgun weight all contribute to how high a pistol’s muzzle kicks up when you fire it. Bore axis (how low the barrel sits in the frame) is also a big contributing factor to muzzle rise, and over the years, many designers have attempted to use a low-bore axis to result in a flat-shooting pistol. One of these attempts, the Rideout Arsenal Dragon, is now more than a concept. It’s on the market. The Rideout Arsenal Dragon is an innovative new design that incorporates an…

Last week, police were called to investigate a shotgun blast at a gas station convenience store in Scott’s Bluff, Nebraska. Thankfully it wasn’t a hold up gone wrong, but instead a sit stay, lie down gone wrong. It seems that the driver of a pickup truck had left a loaded shotgun in the passenger seat of the vehicle. The driver’s dog allegedly moved from one side of the truck to…
