Urban Shooter Podcast 151: American History Part I

By Richard on February 7, 2010 No Comments

Kenn Blachard released episode 151 of the Urban Shooter Podcast.  Buckle in an prepare for a very important history lesson this week.  I cannot stress how important his discussion on the racist roots of gun control is.  I believe that by knowing the past, we can see where the anti-gun, anti-rights people are trying to drive us.

From Kenn’s own episode description:

This week I start off the conversation on the racist roots of gun control by taking you to church with me. Hoping to help you get a flavor for the thought behind the protest and the confusion. Music is live from my church, in the old tradition of Negro spirituals.

Zombie Strike, #19, News, and commentary about the Second Amendment March. visit www.urbanshooterpodcast.com for pictures and links to more Cool Stuff.

This is just part one of a month long tribute to history and our past. “A Mightly Long Way” is sung by a friend and member of my church in the tradition of our ancestors.

Zombie Strike, Chapter 19 will be heard as I prepare to re-mix and put twenty chapters together with a ebook for urban shooter fans of the weekly zombie saga. It will give you time to catch up and share in the fun.

Timney Triggers Introduces Mosin Nagant Trigger

By Richard on February 3, 2010 4 Comments

timney-trigger-01aI love my Mosin Nagant rifles.  Like many M-N owners, I own several.  And at less than $100 for a fine shooting surplus rifle, most Mosin owners start small collections.

One of the common complaints from Mosin Nagant shooters is that the triggers on most of the rifles is somewhere between kinda awful and flat-out awful.  Considering  I only paid $70 each for my M-n rifles, the triggers aren’t bad, but they are heavy and gritty.  That’s about to change.

Timney Triggers introduced a trigger for the Mosin Nagant rifles.  Quoting consumer demand as the driving force behind this product’s development, Timney is selling the triggers right now on their web site for $89.95.

The trigger pulls are adjustable between 1 1/2 and 4 pounds, and a three pound pull ships standard.  Timney incorporated a trigger blocking side safety, heat treated components and an aluminum housing.

The cost of the Timney Trigger may be more than I paid for my surplus Mosins, but for a smooth, three pound trigger pull, I will easily part with my cash.

Velocity Question on .22 Mag

By Richard on February 3, 2010 4 Comments

I have a friend who has physical impairments preventing her from carrying a ‘normal’ caliber for self defense.  Though .22′s aren’t generally held to be great at self defense, they beat not having any gun.

One of the guns she has considered is the Smith & Wesson 351C, which is a J-frame, 7-shot .22 Magnum revolver.  Out of a 6″ revolver, CCI claims their .22 WMR Maxi-Mag 40 grain hollowpoints are making 1400 fps. The 351C has a barrel less than 1/3 that size.

Anyone chronnied this round (or similar) out of a 1 7/8″ barrel?  I can’t imagine more than 1000 fps, and maybe less than that.  If anyone has good info on velocities of the .22 Mag out of a small barrel please post a comment or e-mail me.  Thanks!

Nikon Introduces TurkeyPro Shotgun Scopes

By Richard on February 2, 2010 No Comments

nikon_turkeypro_01aJust in time for 2010 spring turkey seasons, Nikon introduces the new 1.65-5x36mm TurkeyPro Shotgun Scope with Ballistic Turkey Reticle (BTR) available in Realtree APG, Mossy Oak Break Up or matte black to match your shotgun’s finish.

The new BTR reticle is designed to work as a ranging tool as well as an aiming device. The BTR’s circle within a circle construction allows shooters to use convergence to know when a turkey steps into range. Hunters simply place the small circle, on low power, or the large circle, on high power, to cover or subtend the turkey from head to wattles at 40 yards. The center circle acts as the aiming point and allows the shooter to still “see” the exact target spot even on low power.

The innovations with this turkey scope don’t stop with the reticle system. The TurkeyPro also features a removable Anti-Reflective Device (ARD), a first for turkey hunters. “Using an ARD in a turkey-specific scope is a first but it makes perfect sense given a turkey’s amazing eyesight and spooky nature,” said Jon Allen, General Manager Nikon Sport Optics. “The new TurkeyPro uses input from some of the country’s best turkey hunters and is the first scope to combine all those years of experience into one scope.”

Five full inches of eye relief means hunters can comfortably and safely mount this scope on even the hardest kicking magnum shotguns. With a super bright exit pupil of 7.2mm and Nikon’s multicoated lens you can hunt right up to roost time. The durable one-inch tube features hand turn ¼-MOA adjustment and a 50-yard parallax setting. Multicoated lens provide 92% Light Transmission for excellent low light performance.

The new TurkeyPro BTR is available in Realtree APG or Mossy Oak Breakup with a MSRP of $279.95 or in a matte finish with an MSRP of $249.95. All feature the new Ballistic Turkey Reticle and will be available in plenty of time for spring 2010 hunting seasons.
