    Ruger SR556VT Recall Notice

    Mine didn't take two weeks, they returned it two business days after receiving it. They overnighted a shipping container the day after my phone call and I dropped the weapon off at the FedEx counter last Thursday. Received it back today (the following Wednesday). Good job Ruger.

    Help with a Hornady L&L AP press/Brass feeder

    Have you tried all the V-blocks that came with the feeder? It sounds like you need a longer one.

    Filled a "hole" in my toy chest the other day-or a Ruger Bisely 45 lc finds a home

    I really enjoy shooting mine. When it was new it had a disturbing bit of trigger creep that I thought was due to the transfer bar. After about 500 rounds, that has worked itself out so I don't really feel the need to spend for a trigger job.

    FNX-45 Tactical

    I like mine. The elevated sights are co-witnessed with my Trijicon RMR so if the red dot dies you can still see/use the night sights through the optic. Mine feeds jacketed round nose and jacketed hollow points just fine. With the red dot, shooting center of mass on a silhouette target feels...

    Recommendation for CCW/Jogging

    A little OT, but does anyone know if the bouncing during running will eventually breakdown the gunpowder in the cartridge?

    Other uses for brass? Arts and crafts?

    I used a 7/16" dowel with 45 Colt brass as end caps to make a clock pendulum.

    Video Powder Check...No Adjustment Necessary

    Very cool. I think the hopper on my case feeder could use a camera too. I don't want to mount a mirror on my ceiling!

    Stopping the LnL Case Feeder

    Use a dowel to prevent casings from feeding out of the drop tube. This is handy when you've finished with your last primer stack or are setting up the dies.

    Troubleshooting 45ACP SWC - Fun Hobby

    One thing I found helpful in finding an OAL for my SWC was to build half a dozen dummies and load them into a magazine. Then you can test feeding by racking the slide when the magazine spring is compressed. Start with a longer OAL and you can just keep shortening the dummies until they feed...

    Question about zeroes and shooting height difference

    Gravity will cause you to shoot high in this case. The NSSF has a nice video that describes how to compute the angle range. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTSBcNgGMNo

    Went outside my comfort zone... Bought a polymer pistol

    My Glock rattles when the trigger is "to the rear" (i.e. after pulling the trigger on an empty chamber). It's a good check that the striker channel is clean. When the trigger is forward, the striker is half cocked and should not rattle. I like either to cut my own skate board deck tape or...

    XS Big Dot for SP101

    I don't have a Big Dot, but if you raise the height of the front sight it will lower your POI for the same cartridge. If it's only to be used a self defense weapon the difference at a SD range will probably not matter much.

    1890's Remington hammer 12 ga. shotgun

    Model 1889 I think. The following link states that around 1900, the serial numbers changed over to the 200,000 block. I can't help with your other questions. Rich http://www.remington.com/en/product-families/firearms-history/shotgun/side-by-side-shotguns.aspx
