The Pedersen Device The remarkable Pedersen device converted M1903 bolt action rifles into semi-automatic weapons that fired .30 Pedersen ammunition from its 40 round magazine.

Another Precision Rifle Level 3 comes to an end. What a class. Every one of the students achieving the one Mile hit. Most doing so with calibers that were never intended to shoot that far. Weather was great. The Arena facility was fantastic, the staff were extremely hospitable and considerate. To much fun, laughter, camaraderie, good natured ribbing and joking to mention. For all that attended thank you for being there and making the experience so enjoyable. To all the FFT team, Megan, Enzo, Josh. Mike. Brian and Bob that attended and assisted...thank you. You all make this thing we call "FFT" the coolest place to work and be. Here are a few photos of the 2 days.

True story.....About 1992 I sent my g***k 17 gen 1 back to G***k USA as it was not able to hold a group anymore. I asked them to look at the gun and let me know what was wrong with it. They told me that I had literally warn out the barrel, as well as a few other parts. They believed this gun had well over 100,000 rounds through it at that time. As an active competitive shooter and instructor at the time, I agreed that was about right. They asked if they could keep the gun as a reference pistol for wear, etc. In return, they would send me a nice new gen 2. I said "of course" what a great deal! I used the new gen 2 for the next 34 years, for training, competitions, and as a loaner to students, with God only knows how many rounds fired through it. Some of you may have known her as Old Ugly. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. That gun was shooting high and left, no matter what I did, so I had my good friends at Palm Beach Shooting Center send it off to G***k to inspect it. Well, guess what? It turns out I had managed to crack the slide with all that use and time....Now the good part! G***k kept that old warn out gen 2 and sent me back a completely refurbished gen 3! Yep that first G***k I purchased back in 1989 has been replaced free of charge, every time I have warn it out. I have been a G***k guy for over 30 years with good reason. They work, the company stands behind the product.....no questions. Thank you G***K! I will continue to carry, shoot and wave the G***k banner. Keep up the good work. Help us name the newest member of our family... she ain't no "Old Ugly".....ideas ??

I love my job. I love the people I work with. Thank you to Megan my partner in crime, to all my colleagues, range partners. to all my friends and students that make this wonderful ride possible...see you on the range.
