I found these at the Container Store. FYI not all bottles that eye drops come in are petroleum resistant and can be slowly dissolved by the oil in them. http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10000248&N=&Ns=p_sort_default|0&Ntt=+nalgene

I bought a handpress for one of those end of the world scenarios, so I could reload without lugging around bench mounted press. If you're worried about stuck cases stick with the dillon. I've gotten a .280 case stuck in a .270 die (no comment on how that happened) in the handpress and due to...

If your range is open to the public or people you don't know, don't leave your plates out there, they will get destroyed.

You won't find any SAAMI specs on 5.56x45 NATO because the specifications are covered under STANAG, a NATO standardization. Directly from SAAMI, page 7, 5.56 Military ammo in a .223 Remington is an unsafe combination...

IMO not worth it. You're going to a lot of effort to get .222 Remington performance and not gaining the benchrest pedigree of the 222 either.

My pet load for the 64gr PP is 25.0 grs of W748, CCI primer, Win Brass, 2.200". But it's not a published load so use at your own risk. I recently used a Barnes 55gr TSX on a pig hunt, because it gets excellent reviews as a "tactical" round. Shot several small pigs from 40 - 80lbs and one at...

I like pinned FSBs, while a clamp on shouldn't move if properly installed, a pinned FSB won't. ADCO or any good smith, will have a jig to install an fsb so that it aligns with the barrel index pin. There shouldn't be any cutting involved when installing a FSB, just drilling holes. If you have...

I like Skinner's peeps, but I think with the 30AS, with the dovetail cut in the barrel, you will need a taller front sight. If you want peeps and a red dot, what about the XS rail? I don't care for the look, but it will give irons and platform for a red dot or scout scope. Once again, I think...

Great idea. A friend gave me a big neodymium magnet a couple years ago, that I glued to the inside of my Dillon media separator. Any steel cases stick to it after I clean them. Now if there was simple solution for aluminum cases.

I had some welded base metalforms that after a lot of use would suddenly come unwelded. Always a unique feeling to have a base plate, spring, follower and ammo shoot out of the bottom of my pistol. If I ever get another 1911 I wouldn't hesitate to use them at the range, but wouldn't carry them.

If it's not too late, have the firearm appraised at a gun shop or dealer before you ship it. It'll go a long way in establishing the value of gun if something happens.

I've seen FN magazines from $50 to $70 each. I don't think the PMag will work in .308 SCAR. I've put about 50 rounds through one at an LE demo. Good ergonomics, recoil was relatively mild and was easy to shoot. I think the 5.56 SCAR would be a better choice for home defense or to play with...

I called into radio station yesterday to confront an "expert". He was quick to blame guns for mass murders but, couldn't name the five worse mass murders in contemporary US history: -911, 2,996 killed, airplanes were the weapon -Oklahoma City, 168 killed, bomb -Happy Land Dance Club, 87...

With the exception of the Hammerhead tool, I haven't found any multi-tools for AR's that work better then individual tools. For traditional barrel nuts I find the PRI's wrench is hard to beat. With 5 pins it can get off very tight barrel nuts without breaking teeth and works well with many...

If the ethnicity box on the 4473 is there to help resolve NCIC sound alike hits, then it's a good thing. I can't see it having any other legitimate use. One thing to remember is that when a name is checked in NCIC the race field is either Black or White. For example I stopped a woman on a...
