I bought two new EAA .45 steel framed pistols about 10 years ago (one a compact and one full sized). Short story is that both frames and one slide cracked at about a 3,000 round count of standard pressure ammo. EAA had me send them in at my expense and then refused to honor their "lifetime...
S&W took two years to rectify a problem with my cracked frame on a gen 3 5906 pistol. I went through nine contacts with them either via email or phone calls. During its stay at S&W one person handling the problem retired and the paperwork was not forwarded. Another person changed jobs and...
pc,
I've run through a number of factory and aftermarket belts for my Thumlers B tumbler over the years. My replacement factory belts got brittle as yours did and split. For a while I used Eureka vacuum belts but they did not last as long as I liked. The final answer was "The O-ring store...
s94,
I was in the same boat a few years ago and after extensive research chose the Sig C3. It has an officer sized frame and 4" barrel and has worked flawlessly out of the box. It also has an external extractor so no need to mess with extractor tension. I paid $804 for mine but I see them on...

Parkinson's disease has several features. First there is slowness of movement, a tremor at rest (which diminishes with intentional movement) and often poor balance (postural instability). Many of the symptoms can be controlled by meds but the person often becomes resistant to the meds...
tb,
During the "great reloading component hoarding" that occurred about four years ago I could not find any .224 FMJ bullets at a reasonable price and had to learn to cast for my AR (LMT- 1:7 twist, 14.5" barrel). It took months of experimenting before it became problem free.
First the...
Thanks to all for the useful information. The general consensus seems to be that the Aimpoint M4s would remain functional but have the backup iron sights installed just in case. Seems like wise advise- I reinstalled the backup iron sights.
thanks again- oldandslow
Greetings,
As a long time resident of North Korea's favorite nuclear testing ground (Guam) I have a question about my LMT AR's sighting system's ability to function after a nuclear event. I am pretty well covered with shelter, stored water and food and radiation detection (Ludlum Measurements...
md,
Only had to use SW customer service once for a cracked frame on my 5906. They solved the problem but it took two years and eleven different contacts (email and phone calls) to finally get some action. One person retired from SW during the service period and another got promoted- both...

After doing about two thousand .223/556 cases by hand and having another three thousand cases to go I bit the bullet and ordered a Giraud trimmer a couple of years ago. I've now put about 7,000 cases through it and it is one of the best reloading devices I've ever bought. It used to take...
ak,
I've had the same problem with my 1911's (SA x 2, Sig c3) and found the answer in a "low mount or low lever" thumb safety which lowered my grip and allowed my hand to more consistently depress the grip safety. Wilson Combat makes one type and I forget who makes the others. It solved the...

Natchez Shooters Supply is having a sale on Leupold VX-6 (1-6 power) scopes with the 1-6 power AR scope for $749. I bought mine about a year ago for $899 so it's a good deal. I also have a Leupold 1-4 Vx-2 scope on another AR (with an uncluttered duplex reticle) for about $300. So...
jw,
I too bought a Taurus PT 99 in the mid 1990's and had problems with the rear sight roll pin walking out of the slide causing the sight to fall off while shooting the pistol. This really made it hard to shoot well in the local pistol matches as I had to decide to finish the course without...

C,
During the last great hording a couple of years ago I had to learn how to cast for my .223/556 LMT AR with a 1:7 twist as no FMJ bullets were available.
To summarize it is a real PIA to do correctly and a world apart from the straightforward casting for straight walled pistol cartridges...
