    Researching 450 Bushmaster

    I agree with all posted, but will add my experience with my newly acquired Bushmaster upper. Shoots great with Hornady Black. I gave Sub-X a try wanting to use it, hunting suppressed. (The suppressor is still in NFA jail for a few more months.) The Sub-X would not cycle the action. Gas port...

    Bear creek uppers

    I just this week finally got around to topping off a .450 for this coming deer season. Wanting a side charger, I had been watching uppers for a while. Out of stock, in stock. Full price, on sale. Etc., etc. from BCA. I looked at Midway, at their AR Stoner brand. Lo and behold they had what...

    Relics of War

    You probably don’t need to be told, but cherish his friendship. Get as many stories as you can from him to pass on to later generations. If that is what it takes, I’d take him an apple fritter every couple weeks. Just for the stories. Wyman

    Safe Queen Story Time

    Actually I have a $10 NCO Samurai sword that my dad bought at a yard sale. My safe queen is a P08 Luger that my dad bought. The story is second hand, but almost his actual words… Long before I was born, he worked at C&S Bank. Left there in ‘81 fairly high ranking at the branch level. I digress…...

    Safes opened after owner dies

    Several years ago, I went through all of my guns and filled out tags to hang on each. They are marked with make, model, & serial number. I put the date on it each time I clean it. And I also marked it with what I (or my father if I remember) paid for it. And also the current blue book value...

    Who was your biggest influence in the firearms/shooting world?

    ditto. My father is fully to blame for my affliction. Wyman

    SD ammo for 1981 Browning Hi Power

    Remington HTP. I have a couple Star BMs, and this was the only jhp that they would cycle out of about a dozen assorted loads. Wyman

    Weird/odd/unusually chambered guns

    The 1 I’d love to own is 1 of the 3 Lugers produced in .45 ACP for American Trials. Then there was a 1 of, double barrel bolt action, that I saw at the NRA museum in Virginia. I don’t remember the chambering. But it did have double triggers. You could shoot twice and one racking of the bolt...

    Help needed

    I’m wanting to load some .300 Blackout with 165 gr Sierra Gameking HPBT. But my problem is that my Sierra book predates the Blackout. And the only Whisper loads are for single shot pistol. I’d be much appreciative if anyone could post a picture, or a scan, of that page in their book. Thanks, Wyman

    Lightest butt stock for AR 15?

    https://www.smokecomposites.com/stocks They have as low as 3.9 ounces. But for the cost, if you’re not going lightweight everywhere, I don’t see the point. Magnesium, or skeletonized, receivers. Titanium parts throughout. Then do it. Otherwise the balance will start to get off. Wyman

    First shot - How old were you and what was it

    I want to say I was about 2. I remember my dad holding me up, as well as the gun. The gun was an M1 Carbine. Wyman

    FINNALY. My Delisle Silent Carbine is here.

    For it shooting low, file the front sight down. That (or replace with a shorter if possible) is all any gunsmith will do. Wyma

    Multiple die sets for multiple bullet loads.. (same caliber)

    I do this for .300 BO now. With plans to do it in a few other calibers. Yes you can buy just the seating die. But what I’ve done is to buy Hornady sets. I put the size die away for a rainy day and mark the seating die for the bullet it’s set for. Buying the Hornady set, you get the rebate for...

    Selling on auction site...feel bad for how high it goes.

    Sell a firearm? Can you do that? I don’t know quite how that works. My transactions just go 1 way. Wyman
