    Sunday reloading miracles.

    I just dumped a sleeve of 100 primers in my lap and by some sort of miracle I found them all. I cant say that happens all too often.

    Homemade trigger pull gauge.

    Fooling around at home and came up with this. Not the fastest but seems to work. My Ruger American 22lr came in around 3.25.

    Ruger American 22lr first day.

    Not too bad. I may try a different scope.

    Most regretted gun purchase?

    What gun have you purchased that has garnered the most regret. I have two. The Walther P22. This thing had a horrible trigger, ran terribly unreliable, and appeared to be eating itself alive with wear. The second is the Remington R51 gen 2. I bought it out of curiosity. Although it ran...

    Should I buy an R51?

    I am at 250 rounds with mine. So far no malfunctions. Very soft shooting and seems to be very accurate.

    Remington to re-release R51 later this year!

    Picked mine up yesterday. Got mine yesterday. Took it home and took it apart and cleaned it. The disassembly is a departure from any othe gun I have but after a couple of times I have become familiar with it. Fit and finish are good. I have not found any machining marks or blemishes in the...

    Remington R51 is back.

    My local store has a few in stock. I am really interested in this gun with its unique design and affordable price. I still am a little gun shy though due to its earlier problems. Has anyone else seen any at their local places?

    Frankford arsenal tumbler failure.

    Just a quick update. I emailed Frankford Arsenal and the unit has a one year warranty. They sell replacement bowls for $9.

    Frankford arsenal tumbler failure.

    When I took it apart everything appeared to be tight. I remember when I put it together being concerned about over tightening them. I checked them several times over the last year and a half.

    Frankford arsenal tumbler failure.

    I am a little disappointed today. Earlier I noticed a small amount of dust coming from the bottom of my tumbler bowl. I emptied it and found a 1 inch long crack in the bottom. After removing the bowl for further examination I found two of the three mounting points are cracked halfway through the...

    You NEED to keep this in your reloading area.

    14 years as a volunteer firefighter and I have seen several garage and kitchen fires that started very small and got out of hand. most could have been put out with a small extinguisher if one had been available.

    1911 grip safety Taurus PT1911

    Just got off the phone with Taurus. Very nice and helpful customer service. The part will be delivered by the end of the week. I realize this is by no means a high end firearm but it's nice to see company's be go out of their way to help even when there was no fault of their own.

    1911 grip safety Taurus PT1911

    The only thing modified on the gun was the grip safety itself. The previous owner had limited ability in his hand and could not reliably deactivate the safety. I am going to give Taurus a call and see what they say.

    1911 grip safety Taurus PT1911

    I came across a deal I could not pass up from a friend on a Taurus PT1911 in 9mm. The previous owner disliked the grips safety enough to grind it down enough that it no longer prevents the trigger from being pulled. What drop in (or requiring the least fitting) grip safety will work? Thanks.
