thread_title:  Remove Stub Notice? 

message: Since I have mentioned this earlier, I feel obligated to add that while the Mossberg 702 was developed from the Brazilian CBC 7022 previously imported by Mag Tech, CBC made updates to the design for Mossberg. Mossberg 702 magazines are not completely compatible with the Mag Tech CBC 7022: the angle of dangle of the magazine was altered. Also the 702 magazine release spring is much stronger. I do not mean to be negative. All in all over the years reviews by users have described the Mossberg 702 as a capable hunting and plinking gun for its price range. The point is, the Mossberg 702 is an updated version of the CBC 7022 and some parts incompatibilty will be encountered. --Naaman Brown (talk) 04:31, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

In addition, the local cable monopoly (CMA) has not yet provided a station into its programming.  As you can imagine, we are experiencing "American Idol" withdrawal.  
Does anyone know when this station will be available to either CMA cable customers or via an analog antenna?

message: The article appears to be very UK centric and would benefit from expansion to include other countries differences (i.e. US power).
It also needs some citations as there are a few statements of fact with no reference, I have added one to the trajectory statement but for instance the statement "telescopic sights capable of x10 magnification are favored." needs to be quantified, I appreciate this is hard as there is little factual information on-line regarding air rifle specification demographics but without this it is merely stating opinion.

Talk:Armscor AK22

message: The original Armscor (Squires Bingham Model 20) was a conventional .22 hunting rifle made in the Philippines. In the United States market, it competed against the established Ruger 10/22 and Marlin Model 70. To improve its appeal, the Model 20 action and barrel were stocked and styled to mimick the appearance of the military M16 and AK-47 rifles and marketed as the Armscor M1600 and as the Armscor AK22 respectively. Like the original Squires Bingham Model 20, the accuracy and reliability are reasonable for hunting or informal target practice. The Armscor M1600 and AK22 are not replicas of the M16 or AK-47, share no parts in common with M16 or AK47, and have enough differences to make their value for military training questionable. The resemblance is purely cosmetic. (Added 6 Dec 2021: The bolt, firing pin, etc are identical between the Armscor M20P, M1600, AK22, MAK22 and the original Squires Bingham Model 20; the differences are in stock or chassis, barrel, sights and other cosmetic details.) 
Honestly an article on the original Squires Bingham Model 20 should be started and Armscor M1600 and Armcor AK22 merged into the article as subsections. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 16:02, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Remington Nylon 66

message: The 1968 Gun Control Act mandated that the receivers of all firearms be marked with a serial number (before the 1968 GCA low end .22 rifles and shotguns were often not considered important or valuable enough to warrant serial numbering).  Under the 1968 GCA the receiver is legally the gun itself even with no other parts attached. 
The receiver of a conventional firearm is the frame that contains the action (bolt and firing mechanism) and to which the barrel and stock attach.  The Nylon 66 is hardly conventional in that it has no receiver.  The nylon stock contains the firing mechanism and the barrel attachs to the stock.  Originally the serial number was stamped on the barrel (apparently as the most important metal part).  With the Model 66 under the 1968 GCA, the sheet metal dust cover was designated the "receiver" and the serial number was moved to the receiver cover.  The older Model 66 rifles with the serial number on the barrel, as with other pre-1968 guns including models that were not numbered, were "grandfathered" under the 1968 GCA.

message: The article, in its current form, may lead the reader to believe that Snodgrass Hill and Chickamauga were two separate battles. Snodgrass Hill was, in fact, the latter part of day 2 of the same Chickamauga battle. In support of treating them as one, I would say that Snodgrass Hill lies within the boundaries of the Chickamauga National Military Park and also that George H.

Talk:Fullbore target rifle

message: I have committed a fairly significant reworking of the content, including better citations and adding in F-Class. Around the edges I have also redirected "Match Rifle" to the Match Rifle section rather than it pointing randomly to the ICFRA article (MR isn't even an ICFRA discipline). Notably, I have added a "Naming convention" section to explain the distinction of "Target Rifle" and "Match Rifle" which can also be generic terms and therefore confusing (when is a target rifle not a Target Rifle!?). That confusion probably accounts for MR pointing at ICFRA (rifle matches, but not Match Rifle). However, I am concerned this is leading into the territory of Wikipedia:NOTGUIDE as it becomes almost guide/textbook like, and indeed this criticism could be levelled at several sections of the article as the rules and equipment section are somewhat rehashing the rulebooks. Please keep in mind WP:NOTAGUIDE when continuing to improve the page. We should possibly remove some of the technical/detailed rule aspects and keep it very "overview", possibly with more weight to the history of Target Rifle and major competitions.

It does some good work, especially when it involves other authorities' priorities (e.g. slate landscape) but it needs a total overhaul as unfit for purpose. 2A00:23C6:3291:B701:1986:4424:F7D1:9DBA (talk) 11:39, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:RPG-40

message: Hi,
in the infobox you find this very precise information:
Filling
TNT
Filling weight
0.612 kg
This means 612 gramm and the total weight of this grenade was 1.22 kg which makes the TNT content exactly 50,16% of the total weight. I guess there have been very much incidents if you look at the picture the construction is not very safe for a filling like TNT (there is a reason why no modern weapons use TNT^^), but the Soviets didn't really care about human losses as we know. In the text you find the information: 
Its anti-tank capability came from blast effect produced by the detonation upon contact of 760 grams of explosive contained in it. This effect enabled about 20 mm of armour to be penetrated, and secondary damage, such as spalling, by contact with thicker armour. This made the grenade very effective against earlier German tanks, but ineffective against later models, such as the Panzer IV and the Panzer V, leading to the RPG-43 replacing it in [very early] 1943.
the [very early] was added by myself, but if it really contained 760 grams and not just 612 gram of TNT, what was the other filling? There are no signs for a 2nd substance used, maybe the whole system with the fuse and so on is meant?
Very early since the RPG-6 came into service 1943 too and it was the follower of the RPG-43 if you want so, at least the success of the RPG-6 lead to a larger production than the RPG-40/43, testing started in september and typical for the soviets only took very few time and was already accepted in october 1943. It was a bit lighter than the RPG-40/43 with their 1.22 and 1.247kg, the TNT amount was even reduced to 562 grams compared to 612 grams in RPG-40 and RPG-43, 
but: it was later found that optimal performance was gained from a HEAT warhead if it exploded a short distance from the armour, roughly the same distance as the weapon's diameter. and it had at least a bit security for the user . The RPG-6 also had "only" the 562 gram of TNT and no other filling, so was there another filling in the RPG-40 or is it just a error?! 
Sorry for bad language, its my 3rd language if you want so, I hope you understand the most^^ Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 16:26, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
