I have never had this happen. I don’t remember ever hearing of this happening. This was the 2nd case. First one did exactly as it should have. Yes the brass was lubed. Not it wasn’t hard to size. No real force on it when it blew out, just normal pressure. Just not my day to load I guess. 7.5x55...

I have some d2 (written on billet in sharpie) that I found and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. I was hoping to use it in my baby lathe but A. My machine can’t handle a piece this size, and B. I’m not skilled enough yet to work with a metal like this. Would this be useful to knife...

At least I think that this is a K11. It’s definitely Swiss and 7.5x55 Schmidt Rubin. Every part has matching numbers and the only damage I have found on it is one of the Bakelite knobs on the bolt handle has a small amount cracked off of the base where the screw goes through. Geez the Swiss were...

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1037580768 There it is. Im not bidding, and I'm not at all affiliated with this one, but its an interesting setup. Im not sure I have ever seen a front sight setup like that one. Im curious of what the mechanics are there. It appears to be possibly adjustable for...

This place has been a regional staple for decades. I bought several guns there before moving away a few years ago. I was contemplating a weekend run just for a relaxing drive and a fun destination but I guess those days are gone...

All of my reloading stuff is still packed away from moving, but I’m getting closer to unpacking. Part of my prep is that I want to better organize stuff, and I will be printing off some stuff on my 3D printer to help with that. Issue there is that sizing gets wonky between programs and...

2024, election year, stuff bouncing around SCOTUS, and an almost guaranteed ban panic looming just around the corner… What’s a guy to do? Things change and legal interpretation sadly changes what is legal or not rather than codified statutory regulation. I’m curious, what seems to make the...

I was looking at some interesting stuff about industrialization in the first half of the 20th century (and shortly before) that emphasized how widespread war and threat of war really pushed technological innovation and how things that initially seemed to fail got an extra push in development to...

I have looked online and can’t find the answer to this… what is the difference between chambering a barrel and “chambering” a full length sizing reloading die? I know that the die needs to be ever so slightly tighter than the barrel chamber because A. Brass springs back a bit coming out of a...

So what gun/gun-related stuff are yall excited about getting this year? My birthday is so close to Christmas that I quite often get a birthmas gift. This year it’s a tabletop mini-lathe. I picked it up today, and I’m hoping to get it set up and dialed in this week, but work is still humming...

Just imagine for a minute that you pull that golden ticket from your favorite wheelgun maker and they can build you anything that you want within reasonable limitations. What do you go for? Barrel length, caliber, custom touches, grip design, optics, sights, materials, plating, coating...

My buddy offered up a few guns from his late father’s estate, all overly reasonable to a point of being cheap. A few Taurus 38s and some higher end stuff that just didn’t appeal to me all that much. I was tempted by the K frame sized Taurus with adjustable sights. I think it was a model 64, but...

I understand what twist rate is, and what it does, but why do makers pick certain twist rates for a given caliber? Is there something significant aside from real world testing that actually makes sense? This bore size and this velocity requires X twist rate… Or X RPM to stabilize a bullet Y...

I have long been a ballistic tip kinda hunter. Usually in .270 but have also use 30-30, .223, .243, 7-30, and the rimfire TNT 22mag and 17hmr. The ballistic tip always does its thing, massive fragmentation and huge wound cavity but not a ton of penetration. I understand the bullet type and what...

I’m considering an upper to use for a lightweight, shorter range, freezer filler. Primary purpose would be whitetail, but with a few conditions. I reload everything I shoot. I may buy factory ammo just to get brass, but for serious work it’s hand loaded and built to be accurate. For those of...

It never fails, somebody finds a better solution to a common problem. We all look at it and wonder why we didn’t do it ourselves. So let’s see it. The stuff you drag out of the shed, house, It’s November, was 70 today, and even after a couple good frosts the grass is green in places. Last time...

https://www.foxnews.com/media/federal-judge-rules-biden-administrations-ban-pistol-braces-likely-violates-second-amendment.amp Either nobody is posting, or I just can’t find the posts about this. I’m hoping that somebody gets ahold of an actual injunction or ruling soon and starts a thread in...

I am moving an optic off of my AR and onto another gun. What I currently have is an Sig Romeo MSR. I love the optic except for the dial on/off. I want shake awake for a defensive gun. I’m looking for recommendations.

Does anybody here have a traditions singleshot? Looks like the buckstalker I bought my daughter is the same reciever and I want to verify before I start tinkering. Just need a few dimensions.

I bought a you model traditions buckhunter and I’m kinda miffed over it. Literally every muzzleloader I have bought until now has had iron sights, came with a capper (even if it’s junk from factory) and has been at least somewhat usable from the box. Load it, sight it, hunt with it. Not this...
