Re: Movie ref Frank Hamer/Bonnie&Clyde

As I remember the BAR was on loan from the US Army, I want to say sources agree there was no thompson. It was really a different time....."fully automatic" really had about the same appeal as it did before 1986....as in yea you can buy one but why. It really is just a noise maker. I really...

Now I do know this is not a target rifle, but I am looking for some ideas on a better bullet that will work for the 30 (what I am working on now)....I would r...

Re: Movie ref Frank Hamer/Bonnie&Clyde

Hey guys, I actually watched the Hamer movie twice this weekend. It was great entertainment. But I'm pretty sure they took some artistic license with their version of the story. As far as who used what firearms at the ambush, we'll never really know the true answers. All of the participants who wer...
