I hate to fall into the "Oh crap, the Democrats have Congress!" crowd, but since Frau Pelosi is in charge, and just shrill and maniacal and San Franciscan enough to try to ramrod another AWB, or facsimile thereof, through, I'm worried. California (home of the Frau) already has a .50 ban in...

I've searched extensively, and haven't found an answer to this problem: My Custom II (external extractor) is about to go over the berm, due to the FTE problems I continue to have. I shoot every weekend in a local pistol league, and usually shoot at least one IPSC match every month, and I've...

On the drive home this afternoon, I was half-listening to the radio, and half-heard a story about someone who'd illegally provided a machine gun to someone who shouldn't have had it. I don't recall if the recipient was a non-citizen, or a felon, but it sounded like the provider of the machine...

I always thought folks were BS'ing when I heard "one hole group" or "one ragged hole". I'm finally getting closer! ;) Savage 10FP, Super Sniper 10x42, 42 gr of IMR4895, 168 gr Sierra Match King. The .840" is edge to edge, from the top left to bottom right. S/F Farnham

I had this errant thought today on the drive to work (one of many). Why doesn't someone put together an 11.5" or 14.5" barrel AR upper with a permanently affixed sound suppressor? The way I understand it, you have to shell out the $200 for an SBR, and then another $200 for the...

Simple question: Who owns one? Do you like it? Can it hit anything at 300 yards? S/F Farnham

I recently convinced my Dad to let me have the old press we used to reload trap shells on when I was a kid (~20 years ago), as he's had it stuffed in the garage rafters for years, and now I'm trying to find parts for it. We used 7 1/5 shot, Winchester wads, and Fiocchi primers on the thing...

I took my newly built AR-15 to the range this weekend, and encountered a problem I've never seen. I fired one round, and the bolt appeared to only partially unlock. It moved back about the same distance as the bolt moves in the carrier, and FROZE. I had to remove the upper and yank back the...

Last night I successfully built an AR from a stripped Stag Arms receiver and DelTon A2 rifle kit, 'cause A) I wanted to build an AR to see how tough it could be (1 hour, start to finish) and B) I wanted a standard A2 style 20" rifle. See exhibit A -- I was amazed at how simple it was...

I got my Southern Ohio Gun flyer today, and while looking through it noticed the following: "WWII Winchester M-1 Receivers FFL Required. Not C&R eligible. These rare, very collectible vintage WWII receivers are in good to fair condition..." etc, etc. (Rare and collectible...hmm)...

I finally got to a gun show for the first time in a few months, and I've now officially heard it all. I was looking at a rack with a couple of fairly nice K-31's, several walnut stocks among them, and wondering if I really need another one, when this old feller walks up behind me and says...

AIM has this ammo on the cover of their newest flyer. M855, 1000 rds, $170. Manufactured by ADCOM. Isn't ADCOM the same people that manufactured the excellent 7.62 NATO Aussie ammo? Think this M855 is worth the money? S/F Farnham

Alright, so I sometimes see things on the internet that I probably shouldn't try at home. Berdan depriming is now going on that list. Not because it's that's difficult, but because I'm now looking at thousands and thousands of Portugese and South African surplus 7.62x51 cases in a whole new...

So, I just bought another jug of Win748, and when I ran it through my Lee powder measure, which was metering out exactly 43.7gr with the last jug I had, it only threw 41.5gr on the same setting. I had to dial the measure back a little over two full turns to get up to 43.7gr with the new powder...

I just picked up a box of 50 Nosler Ballistic Silvertips while poking around the new Sportsman's Warehouse, because I read a good review of them in Rifleman, and I don't have any "hunting" bullets. They're 168gr, so I figured my pet .308 load of 43.7gr of Win748 with a Sierra 168gr HPBT would...

I've been hearing both sides of this story on the radio for the last few days, and would like to get the opinion here. The Mayor of New York set up searches of backpacks, gym bags, briefcases, and (apparently) bulky coats at subway stations, and if you refuse the search, you can't board the...

Nevermind. Only got two thirds of the story, and didn't think to research it.

Yesterday morning, I hear something odd out back, and turn in my chair to look out the window, and observe at least 10 wild hogs engaged in a staredown with my pit bull, GSD, and Heeler puppy. :what: I've wanted to hunt hogs since I moved to Texas last year, but haven't had the chance, and...

I've got a recently acquired Kimber Pro Carry II, and since I can't stand only having one magazine for any firearm, I researched around a bit and found that a lot of people prefer the Wilson Combat magazines in Kimbers. I strolled down to my local purveyor of pistolas today to pick up a couple...

I'm looking at an Aimpoint CompC for my RRA CAR-15A4, but I don't know how the front sight tower might interfere with it's use when it's mounted in the flattop configuration. Is there a specific height of rings to use to make sure the front sight post isn't in the way? Does it matter? Farnham
