Picked up a DE 1911 last week on sale for $639. Didn't even go there with the intention (always that way!!). Anyway, fired it yesterday and it was fantastic. I'll replace the sights, but man did it shoot nice. Accurate. Had one case extraction problem out of 50 rounds. Just didn't quite clear...

Field tested a new AR build today. The first round extracted fine, after that, I had to extract each round by cycling the bolt. When fired, the bolt would not cycle. My thoughts are the gas port / tube are blocked, and I'll run a pipe cleaner down there to check it out. When I mouted the gas...

Anybody know where you can buy a civilian IR Laser Sight? I've searched the web and can find tons of references, but actually finding one to purchase to mount on an AR15 rail seems much harder that I ever imagined. Want to use it with my night vision scope. thanks.

Happy New Year friends! I'm building an AR for my wife (thankfully I got the parts before they were all gone!). She'll be shooting in the 100 to 300 yard range. I've got a 1 - 9 twist 20" Krieger barrel. We'll be sticking with 55 to 62 gr ammo. Target shooting and probaby varment when she's...

I have a Savage .338 Lapua Mag. I shot it for the first time a few weeks ago and after firing the first shot, the bolt jammed. I was able to free it later with careful pressure on the bolt handle. I thought maybe because it was new, and perhaps I didn't lube it well enough. Today I shot it...

I'm starting a new build. Actually my wife said; "you love building them for everybody else, why don't I have one?" Wasn't quite that bad, but I got the point. Anyway, I think I'd like to switch things up and get an upper with a side charging handle. I want her gun to be very distictive, and I...

I have a new Shepherd scope I just mounted on a .338 Lapua. I've not tried to shoot it yet. In reading the scope instructions and playing with it, honest to God I have no idea how this damn thing works. Please don't respond that I should have bought something else or why the F did you buy that...

I'm doing everything I can to buy Made in the USA, with every decision I make. Last week I finally broke down and bought semi-auto 12 ga. I passed up on many nice models, and spent 1400 bucks on a Browning. Guess I just figured a Company like Browning was made in America. A week later and the...

After doing as much research as I could, I ordered a ATN MARS6X WPT. Only guys would drop 4K on something and never have even seen one work. So, anybody got some experience with this? WPT looks like a good idea. Thanks

I went hog hunting in Texas a couple weeks ago. Put my guns in a carry case, checked them in through TSA, put my non-TSA locks on it (3 of them), handed my case to TSA. I pick up my case in Corpus Christi, get to the hotel, and notice one lock is missing. A second combo lock springs when I...

I needed a much lighter rifle for hunting. I bought a Savage 111 FXP3 .308 this weekend. Haven't had time to fire it yet, but can't wait. Came with what looks like a decent scope. Anybody own this model? I'd like to know what you think. Thanks.

Do any of you have experience with it? I searched for old posts and saw a few comments that it's similar to H335. I'll work my loads up as with any new powder, but I'd like to hear any comments. Thanks

Very odd thing happened at the range yesterday. I had a brand new chrome bolt and bolt carrier, in an AR15 that has maybe 200 rounds through it. I got off one shot, then the bolt would not fully engage. Second trigger pull was just a click. I had to pry the bolt out of the chamber. I lubed it...

I never realized before that the firing pin is different between the .223 and the 5.56. Anybody know why this is? What happens if you swap them?

I have a 1 stage Lee Press. Was actually a gift from my wife. I use a Dillon LX650 for my .223 reloading. I decided that I could use this Lee to just deprime. I have no experience with the Lee. What do I need to get, so that the case holder holds .223? The press case holder is too big for this...

I didn't search to see if this has been posted 10 times a week for the past 3 years, so forgive me if it has. First time I've seen it. Although I have several AR's, built all but one, and play with them all the time, I often wonder how everything inside works when you pull the trigger. So I...

I'm new to reloading (everybody is once). I have an XL650 Dillon and reloading .223. It's been going ok, but was having a hell of a time with the primers. some went in just fine, some did not. I had no idea that I had a bunch of military cases. Although I've read a lot about it, and even...

Anybody have experience with this? Considering a purchase with a weapons mount. Thanks

Want to purchase night vision for hog hunting. Can't go over $3,500.00. Was looking at the ATN NVM-14 with weapon mount to attach with my scope on .308. Seem to all be running around $3,200.00 plus mount. Any thoughts on this? Gawd, I can't imagine spending over 3 grand on something you can't...

I just loaded some .223 with H335. 21.6 grain using 55 gr Hornaday VMax bullets. The Hornaday book said I should be around 2900. I was consistantly at 2550ish. 16" barrel colt AR15. RCVS Chronograph at about 10' from the mussel. Thoughts? Seems like I should have gotten a little more out...
