ejector nub Pockets, do you have any more details or info on this elusive Ramline left hand side ejector 'nub'? my eyes are not that great and i can't see it on my mags that run well.

So i've had an Intratec Tec-22 scorpion for years now. Tried all sorts of Ruger aftermarket 10/22 mags with it and only the RamLine black 25 rounder really feeds flawlessly in this gun. It has a little plastic slider piece on a spring on the back of it, seems like a sort of quick release lever...

Well, after some more debug, the Retired LE - firearms instructor & armorer has it shook down. I had read this before also, having a shooters thumb reset the slide lock on recoil without knowing it. As a perfect grip placement shooter i of course refused to believe it was the operator and must...

So I bought my first XD, an older gen XD-9. Feels great in the hand, shoots to point of aim, no failures to feed or eject. Loved it for the first 300 rounds. Today I went to range, shot 2 mags no issues, and the 3rd failed to lock the slide the back on an empty mag. Thought it could be ammo...

Ramshot So I put a few loaves of italian bread in the over and followed sourdoughs idea, ordered 15 lbs of the Ramshot TAC and will let a few ride with it. Buying 1 pounders here and there with this scattered availability market makes no sense if you actually find a good load that works...

How to fit your COL to your chamber and barrel lands? So, much of what I have read about reloading has a lot to do with the angle and diameter of the throat of the bullet/ and or case as it goes into your chamber and distance from rifle lands. Is it a stupid idea to get a case prepared, skip...

The Thompson Center Contender has dozens of caliber barrel options with the same lower receiver. My favorite barrel is the 223 Rem, but when I shoot rifle loads > 55 grains, the short barrel and long twist don't stabilize well, so pistol shooters generally stick to lower weight bullets and...

So, i am tired of overpaying for the hazmat shipping fees for my powder, and just started reloading 223 rem (did lots of handgun loads, never rifle). I started loading H335 and some dogtown 55 and 62 grain FMJHPs, and some 40 grain V-max for my Contender pistol load. I had some reasonable luck...

So I bought a new Lee powder measure tool (the red plastic with the pull handle. My old one works ok, but I replaced the center screw and it is loosy goosy and just cracked the powder housing, so thought I would replace. I know my original one must have been 10 years old, and when I would load a...

So, the PLR-16 from Kel-Tec has an optional AK-74 shorty style muzzle brake that actually throws gasses only to the sides (no top or bottom holes at all). While, on this AR pistol using rifle loaded ammo (factory 223 rem), it is extremely effective at reduced muzzle jump, it tears the ears out...

I put my chamfer cutter on a drill I spun my chamfer tool off of the handle, and put it into my drill chuck. works very well, fast, just a couple seconds of spin on each throat and no burrs left at all. i can do 50 rounds in about 3 minutes, all good clean throat angles. I had the old school...
