So I just bought a used RCBS Uniflow powder measure off from eBay. it seems to work fine. but I have some questions. I know that there have been 3 generations of these. but I am not sure how to tell them apart. I know this is either a first or second generation. I noticed before bidding on this...

last summer I purchased a muzzle brake, that has for the lack of better words, has a "tin can" around it, that pushes the gasses forward. away from the shooter. in this respect, it works well. the amount of blast that I experience is cut more than half. anyway, my question about the "brake" part...

has anyone used this in firearms? ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EC4Q3W/ref=pe_3676590_803013790_em_1p_0_lm ) I have 3 questions about it if you have used it in a firearm. Q#1) does it work well? Q#@) is is safe for regular gun steel, as well as stainless steel? and Q#3) is...

in all of my years of shooting, I have never before had to clean a gun case. all of that changed Tuesday, when I tripped and fell with my rifle in hand. as far as I can tell, the gun is fine. but the outside of the case is pretty dirty. it is a Smith and Wesson black, AR-15 cloth case. I can not...

when I bought my 44 magnum (629-6), I wanted a scope for it to hunt with. well, 20+ years, 3 moves and 2 kids later, I can not find the original rear sight anywhere. I looked online (Midway USA) and there are several sights for it. they list them by size, I don't know if that size is the blade...

My daughter bought me a new toy for CHRISTmas, a Teslong borescope. I absolutely love it. but, now i have something that i do not quite understand. on my Remington 700, 300 win mag, there is some copper deposits, which I figure is normal. but, the last 6-8" of the barrel, all the way around, the...

I am thinking about picking up a 16" upper because my daughter struggles holding up my heavy barreled 20" rifle. it uses a rifle length gas system, and I know that a 16" upper will have either a carbine or mid length das system. what else will I need to buy to make this work? also, is it a bad...

I have had an itch for a couple of years to shoot 12 gauge bp shotgun. but I am not sure I want to spend a bunch of money on a gun, just to find out a couple of months down the road, that I really just do not enjoy it. so I was thinking tonight, that i could just load up my rifle, make some...

I am contemplating doing a chamber / throat casting of my Remington 700. but I don't know how feasible that is without removing the barrel. I am thinking that if I pour to much in (into the locking lugs), I may never be able to get it out. Is this a real concern, or am I worrying about nothing?

so I have had to take a break from shooting because of surgery. and with this much time just sitting around, I started wondering about the accuracy of my AR15. it has a 20" heavy barrel, and the accuracy has been ok, but not great. i am still trying to find a really good hand load for it. i have...

so I have a question. I have in the past shot cast bullets in my 300 win mag. they shot fine, but I kept velocities very low so as not to get a lot of lead smearing. which I thought would be likely using Lee liquid alox. well, I have a Lyman Lubrisizer now. and I would like to try this again...

So I was out the other day just driving around. I spotted some cartridge cases laying on the ground, so I stopped and picked them up. several common cases, but I found one that I have never seen before. I looked online, but I couldn't find anything that matches. I measured it, the case is 1.392"...

can a father still buy a rifle for his (adult) kid and give it to them as a present? or is that considered a straw purchase?

Hi, I am posting today to get an idea of what might be causing an issue I am having with my AR-15. I have two magazines (I KNOW, I NEED MORE!) and this happens in both of them. If the top cartridges is on the right (ejection port) side, the bolt slides over the cartridge and jams about 1/2 way...

ok, first off, I will tell you that I am NOT very tech oriented. when i searched google of firearm videos, You tube was all that came up. most of those results were about you tube demonetizing, deleting, and otherwise harassing gun tubers content. I know about full 30. but i would like to find...

so I have shot thru a 250 round box of Hornady 75g HPBT bullets, wiyhout finding a stellar load for them in my rifle. there were some ok groups, but not the end all be all bullet (with the powders and primers I have available to me. so I was looking at some Berger 85.5 grain bullets. but, to be...

I have reloaded thousands of rounds, But doing so for an AR15 is stressing me out. all of the bullets I have purchased for this gun have a cannelure in them. I have loaded some without, but they were ones purchased for a single shot (without a canalure), so the bullets moving was never an issue...

Hi, I am a little concerned about the primers in the brass that I shoot from my AR15. I reload, and I was taught that flat primers were the first sign of hi pressure. well, EVERY case that comes out of my AR has flat primers. I have tried loading every powder to its starting load, which still...

So, I decided to do a cleaning and inspection on my AR15. It now has a whopping 55 rounds thru it. and I figured if there was something amiss, this would be a good time to catch it, rather than wait, and find something that has caused real damage. the gun is working fine, so I didn't expect to...

I am pretty sure I NEED to crimp loads for my AR15, I have reloaded thousands of rounds, but this is my first semi auto rifle. so I am not 100% certain of that. and if I do NEED to, can I still shoot bullets without a cannelure? if I can, what is the best way to crimp? I have a Lee FCD, and the...
