Hmmm....bad spring.... I think I will test the spring/follower idea by pulling them out of a known "good" mag, and see how a single rounds sits under the feed lips. If it works (it is easy to see the difference in this case), perhaps that is all I need to repair this. An interesting...

I attended an Appleseed this past weekend and experienced problems with two of my GI mags. They are an AdventureLine and an Okay with the aluminum followers. In each case the last round in the mag would jam the action. Pulling out the mag and placing one round in it, I saw that the round...

A FREE Appleseed shoot?! There is NO reason why we can't fill this one up with patriots from around the area. Last night I talked to 4 guys from our church who are highly interested. Once I tell them about the new 'cost' there will be 5 slots filled for sure. I sure am looking forward to...

Looks like I just missed the Appleseed up in Douglas (5/31-6/1). BUT...it appears that there is another one scheduled there for 9/6-9/7. I am definitely in for that one. How 'bout some other Wyomingites/N Coloradoans get together and come out for it?

I think a get together would be great. Actually I would really like to see an Appleseed shoot somewhere in SE WY or NE CO in 2008.

Many thanks for all the excellent info. As I look into the .223 AK options a bit more I do see the 'reliable mag' problem as a recurring theme. As a result I am still confused as to the situation. It appears that the saiga is a great option...but it has to be "converted" to run standard...

List... I have been looking for another .223 semi-auto to add to the collection. I have restricted myself to the .223 and .308 calibres, for simplicity and cost sake. I have a nice AR I built...and have heard/read much about the legendary reliability of the AK design. Most of this is, of...

It sounds as if the Taurus has built up quite a following here on the board. I did find a Glock 30 and 36 used at a shop outside of town. I have fairly large hands and the 30 certainly does have the 'holding a 2x4' feeling to its grip. The 36 is much more comfortable...albeit at the expense...

Thanks to all who have responded. I did check out a Taurus compact .45 yesterday. I believe they come in da/sa and/or single/double stack (or some other combination). I kind of backed off a bit as I had a Taurus revolver several years back and all sorts of problems with it. Has their QC...

List... I am trying to choose a .45 compact for everyday carry. I have a USPf now, which I enjoy, but it is a bit too much for CCW. Reliability is the most important factor for me. I would like to keep the price (in either new or used) < $500. Capacity is not THAT important...even...

I really need to find me one of these. Those S&W stainless 10's sure are purty....

List... I have always been a .45 kind of guy, but recently the 10mm has piqued my interest. Trouble is I cannot seem to find one in my area (Cheyenne, WY). Dealers I talk to say that the 10 is not a popular cartridge, that they never take them on trade, and that I am SOL. I would like...
