I'm slowly gathering components. Just got the die set and trimmer for the 7.62 X 39 round. Now trying to round up some 1X fired brass. I have a good bit of H4198 on hand from loading .308. Not sure if that's the same as the IMR 4198 or not. I'll have to check again. I'll be interested in...

A vote for XD here. I own 5 of them. One has almost 7000 rounds through without a single part replaced and still running flawlessly.

I'm in the same spot Tejas, except for the money that is. :o I already have a nice NIB DSA FAL, but have been thinking about a .308 bolt action for a more accuracte "reach out and touch someone" tool. A friend of mine bought a HOWA action in stainless. Japanese made, but gaining notoriety for...

Any of you reloading sages out there have a recommendation on the best powder to use for the Ranier 165 Plated HP in a 10mm loading? I cant find a listing in the Lee loading manual for Bullseye with the 165gr flavor. Closest is for 170gr Jacketed bullet with a starting load of 6.0 and never...

Rossi M-92 Lever gun in .38 Spl/.357 mag, and a DSA SA58 FAL on the same day. :D

Here's a little sumpthin-sumpthin I whipped up a few years ago for 3-gun matches. The box could carry just about anything, food, ammo, supplies, etc. The closed lid doubles as a chair/work table. I have since added a lock/hasp on the lid. It has come in handy when the range/benches were a...

The most important priority is having a plan, and practicing that plan until it is second nature. Tactics. Before the stuff goes down. In a SHTF situation you will always default to your training. IOW, your mind is the first and most important weapon. As far as tool, I would choose the...

The .40 S&W is noticeably snappier than the 9mm.

My rare LNIB Kel-Tec P40 in the "BadmanXM" IWB hoster by Lasco Leather. This holster is about as comfortable as it gets while offering the added benefit of an extra mag on board. I also have the "Badman" version, without the "XM" (extra mag) holder, and it too is very comfortable. Thanks...

:cool:Nice!

Need more FAL pics and tips!!! Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize safety OR my new DSA. I have an XCR-L (.223) by Robinson Arms. A bunch of the guys shoot Wolf .223 in their XCRs with no apparent problems, but I only shoot Wolf/steel cased 7.62 X 39 in my AKs. ;)...

I'd like to know more about why no Wolf also. I spoke with someone from DSA several days ago and he too told me that WOLF was verbotten. I don't have any Wolf .308, but it would sure be nice to have a rifle that would shoot it like the AK. :( Oh, and great pics! Keep the FAL pics...
