The FN Browning Model 1903
Posted in:
Guns

Fabrique Nationale (FN) started producing its first handgun in January 1899. The compact 7.65 x 17 mm FN Browning Model 1899 was extremely reliable and became an instant success. Within a few months, the Model 1899 was entered in Belgian military trials, and, less than a year later, the Belgian military adopted a modified version commonly known as the FN Browning Model 1900. The Herstal company found itself producing two similar pistol models. As this was inefficient, FN stopped production the Model 1899 within 18 months of introducing the Model 1900. |

Light and easy to manipulate, the .410-bore shotgun was -and still is- a gun most often associated with beginning shotgunners. Sometimes a tool for advanced competitive shooters, the skinny .410 shell drops a fair amount of light game every year and powders its share of clay birds. In the scheme of things, this is where the .410 shotgun comfortably and traditionally fits. |

As a gunsmith, Les Baer rightly deduced that he could produce guns with better reliability, longer durability and greater accuracy potential if the major components were made to tighter tolerances. By controlling the manufacturing process from the beginning, Baer can build quality into the rifle from the start rather than try to add it on later. |

High-Volume Handloading

Even if you're not interested in competition, but instead are just regular plinking at the local range, it is easy to burn through a truckload of ammo before you know it. To do this without selling a kidney or winning the lottery requires handloading your ammunition. We're talking high-volume handloading. High volume, however, doesn't mean low quality. The ammo produced by modern presses, single stage or progressive, is usually more inherently accurate than the shooters using it. |

Lately, we’ve been seeing some very tactical people start to pay attention to compact red-dot sights on handguns. Pardon me while I enjoy a good chuckle. Step into the Way-Back Machine with me, and travel to the 1995 USPSA 3-Gun Nationals. Held on Long Island, of all places. |
