NATO was advised of the flight plans of any birds that crossed the DMZ, France was/is a member and France was buddies with the NVA the AA guns @ Sam's were waiting.

I think the Danish Gevaer M/53 or as we know it the P-17 would be a better rifle and is used presently by the Danish Sirius sled patrol in Greenland for polar bears. If there was a better arctic rifle they would be using it. danny

BigSky56

Have not loaded for a rifle but will say 2400 is the most accurate out of pistols I have tried, from 158 to 180's the recipe for 158 & 173 were proved out by Doug Wesson in the mid 30's, In the articles section of this forum is the loads used by Wesson for his hunts. danny

I have questions about a dogooder going into a combat zone, then GI's losing hide to get them out, just maybe they dont belong there and if they are that committed to dogooding live & die with their decision and dont burden anyone else. danny

In all fairness to others I reread the after action report M240s jammed M249s jammed auto grenade jammed and several M4s jammed all to high rate of auto fire, only the ma duce kept working. danny

The #1 problem with any DI gun is the powder when the military went to a double base ball powder for more speed so it could punch thru a steel pot at 500 and with a calcium carbonate (flash retardant) additive it spelled doom for the troopers. If the perfumed princes in the pentagon and MAC V had of...

55 gr fmc used in a 14 twist barrel was devastating on charlie it cavitated & tumbled made horrible wounds the twist was also the cause of the bullet not able to penetrate foliage. I liked the round but despised the delivery system it was junk for a auto fire battle rifle it got good men killed....

Nath you will be surprised at how well FMC 40's work get the flat point CCI or fiocchi, they punch thru and do more damage than a HP due to the cavitation bubble they build when hitting flesh and fluid, yes Ive had them zip thru a coyote but the insides are hamburger. Flat nose bullets work whether ...

my scopes run in the 2-300$ range weaver, burris & lyman. a 6x is bad berry on predators out to 400. If I have a nightime problem to solve I use a illum reticule aimpoint with a 3x multiplier if needed. High $ and high X scopes are not needed unless you are target shooting way out there. I eat e...

theres a difference between hunting and shooting meat animals Ive found the long range animal shooters are just horn hunters. Now when it comes to predators pestering you 2 or 4 legged any distance and gutshot is ok. danny

about 14$ a sq ft for a buff at a tannery, dont put a felt backing on it makes it to bulky cant drape it over a rail or couch, bear and buff you can wrestle on them wont hurt them Ive got both. If you get a home tan kit make sure its not a pickling product as they dont last. danny

MM Wright, rossi did make a 22 mag pump the M59 made in brazil, I believe they made it in a short bbl and long bbl the one I have is a 23" bbl I put a B Square scout scope mount on it and use it for predators its accurate enough to call it a 150 yd coyote gun I have stretched that on occasion. ...

Good shooting, I'll quote Sixgun "Somethings just look better dead", the 22 mag is a predator killer its my preferred gun for coyotes, and wolves, I like the CCI or fiocchi game points but use solids too. danny

Tom the NAA will work fine for what your looking for, the loud bang and fireball headed for the culprit will help put them off their game.
