There's a lot of good
information here. Not everything fits
all that neatly under one of the
headings on the left, but, well, there
it is.

PLEASE
NOTE: There are some "restrictions"
incorporated into some of these
files that have been forced from
misuse-abuse. People trying to sell
them, reproduce them, and so on...
As a result some might not be
printable, and none are "stealable."
I work hard on my publications and I
at the least want to get credit, and
respect, for them. Thanks.

Here's something I
always wanted to do, and. well, I'm
doing it. The reason I always wanted to
do this is because I, what should I say,
most often have my own ideas respecting
article lengths, topics, and treatments.
I've had a lot of ideas that never got
published, or at least not in the way I
imagined. Usually that's a space issue
and, having been in the magazine business
as an Editor In Chief at one time, I
fully understand and appreciate that.
What you'll see here are
materials that I don't have to edit for
length or content.
Now, not all magazines
or magazine editors are bad! Not nearly.
I do a lot of work for GUNS Magazine.
GUNS, in particular, is a good
publication. I also work regularly for
NRA Publications, and they are the very
best.

By
Glen Zediker. An overview of
chambering terms and concerns
for AR15 rifles. It's not
in-depth but it is in-sight. Ha.
It offers a thorough
understanding of the important
differences in chambering for
competition as opposed to other
firearms uses, and there's a
llittle ditty contained that is
MUST reading for anyone who
fires factory ammunition in
their AR15. It could save your
rifle, and maybe your
eyesight...

 |
By Glen
Zediker. This is as important a
part as exists on your AR15, and
way on too many folks don't know
how they work, and mostly why they
sometimes don't. This material
gives a good overview of
identifying function problems and
fixing them. New follower designs,
springs, and recommendations are
discussed. Folks, there may be
pliers involved and, yes, it's a
good article if it gives a folk
something to do. |

SPRINGS |
 |
By
Glen Zediker. A lot has changed
since the original MKII, but
then some things really haven't.
There are new triggers on the
market and this article will run
down what they are and what I
think of them. Drop-ins, pins,
and lock-time get their spaces
too.
|
|
 |
By
Glen Zediker. Speakng of
important parts, a daggone AR15
pretty much runs on springs, and
has about the biggest single gun
spring on the planet. This is
good reading and please do so
before wasting your money on any
extractor or ejector fixes that
won't really fix the problem.

Handloading For Competition know
most of this material, but here

want. It's the run down on how
to load at the range, on the
spot, and radically improve your
success in working up an ammo
recipe.

Good stuff.

Folks,
some say no one is interested
anymore, but here they are
anyhow. I at one time did a
whole lot of talking about these
rifles and it never got said the
way it was supposed to have,
thanks to editors. Here is a
start on a three part series.
These are small downloads and
sans-photos to save space. There
are applications, I think, for
the contents of these articles
to several firearms, not just
M14s.
For
Garand shooters, most of it will
work for you too!

| HOW TO
READ PDF FILES |
|
Download
AdobeŽ Acrobat Reader
|
|
|
This portion of the site
contains .pdf files. These are created
with AdobeŽ Acrobat which SHOULD enable
you to download, view, and print these
files using AdobeŽ Acrobat Reader
version 7.0 or higher. This program is
available free of charge from Adobe
using the link button on this page. You
may already have it loaded, or something
similar.
Each file contains
photos, graphics, and text in what I
think is an attractive and usable
layout.
After you download the
.pdf file, open it from within your
AdobeŽ Acrobat program (use the "open"
command from the pull down menus).
Select "view original size" for best
appearance on screen and make sure that
"actual size" is selected if you choose
to print the file. E-mail me with
problems or questions. I really want you
to take full advantage of this portion
of my site and that means I need to know
if you're not seeing what you should
from the files.
[If you have difficulty
downloading or viewing these articles,
please first make sure you do have the
most recent version of Acrobat. Go get
it if you don't. Next, make sure you're
using the most recent version of your
web browser. If you have troubles
double-clicking to open the articles
then try opening them from within the
Acrobat Reader program using the file
menu.]
