Important Notice: June 9 - Back in the saddle again, and open for busiiness. Please remember, I can only ship orders greater than $50. Again, patience in waiting for your order to come is strongly reccomended. Thanks!

Also: Please remember the minimum order is $50, and that any outrageous shipping quote is adjusted to actual shipping once the order is processed with UPS. And please don't forget: The more you order, weight-wise, the cheaper per pound the shipping is. Make that shipping dollar work for you! [Hint: Targets will not only make you a better shot, they are also weighty!]

And a by-the-way: As I am now at least semi-retired, it may take a week or two - sometimes longer - to get the order out. Thanks, Fred

Welcome to Freds, where Becoming a Rifleman is a BIG DEAL. If you haven't considered joining that elite society, think about it! What's the point of owning a rifle, if you can't hit a target beyond 100 yards? (Why, it'd be like owning a race car, just sitting in the driveway - but you - you are lucky to make it to the corner 7-11 store! Heck, if you've got it, learn to drive it! And you can!)

Check out how easy I make it, with "Fred's Guide to Becoming a Rifleman", which even includes the targets you'll need in order to earn that qualification...

And check out the REDCOAT targets, a fun way to answer an important question you probably never asked yourself: How far away am I effective with my rifle? You will be surprised that a target which requires only 13 shots can answer that question - and you need no more than 82 feet (25 meters) for a range.

And, they are super-fun to shoot! Which is why we bundle them as a package of 100. You'll want to shoot them often - it's like eating peanuts - how can you stop with just one? And your friends will want to try them, too!

And consider the implications of being a rifleman: like, think of your country: Would it be a better country, if we had more riflemen? People skilled with a firearm, who "know what it's about?" Would you make the founders of this country happy, if you made the effort? (I'll help you; the answer is "YES!")

For you first-time visitors to this site, I recently "retired" after selling M14 rifle stocks for 25 years via large ads in Shotgun News (now, Firearms News). I have lots of other stuff useful to rifle owners, as you will see on this site. And remember the most important: here at Freds, you will find all the ingredients needed to take you from being a rifle owner to something FAR better: A Rifleman - a man (or woman) skilled with a rifle, able to hit man-sized military surplus targets out to 500 yards! Better yet, take a friend, relative, or neighbor with you on the journey to Becoming a Rifleman. This country needs more riflemen. We need to keep the heritage alive. Right?

While here, please look over our stock of targets, manuals, slings, ammo repack kits, books and CDs. You'll be glad you did! [Those E2 stocks will be coming, in the future, along with some "premo" regular M14 rifle stocks!]

By the way, please note that we ship UPS, which is fast and safe, but not very friendly in rates on small items, so if you order less than 5 pounds, you'll probably pay about what it would take to ship 5 pounds. Sorry, that's just the way their system works...

So, if you arrive at our site wanting only one item, shop around - you may find other things you can use...and shipping will be only a little more, if any.

By the way, please note: THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR IS OFTEN WAY OVER WHAT IS THE ACTUAL SHIPPING - I WILL CORRECT TO THE ACTUAL SHIPPING ONCE YOUR ORDER IS PACKED, AND ENTERED ON THE UPS SITE.
