I won't get into what I do, but I'd be interested in understanding how many times folks reload pistol brass.

I bought a Kimber Custom Classic at a gun show a couple of years back and really like it. It has been super reliable and very accurate. One of my friends wants to buy a Kimber but I see that the Custom II is what is available new. I would like to better understand the differences between the...

I've still not been able to remove my Springfield M1A operating handle despite looking at the books, posts, videos, etc. I have another idea. I'd like to have the receiver/barrel removed from the stock, take out the spring, move the Op handle full forward, and heat up the receiver notch area...

I have still not been able to get my op rod out, even after watching all of the videos and getting advice from this board. So, I have another idea I would like to float before I try it out. I'm thinking of moving the op handle full forward and taking a heat gun (at 800 degrees) and warming...

I've been searching for a S&W 610 for some time now. I'd bid on a couple on Gunbroker and lost. I'd just bid on another with a higher maximum bid (for a 4 inch barrel 610). Went to the Washington Arms Collectors show last Saturday and saw a 6 inch 610 and snapped it up. It is great, after...

I bought some German surplus 7.62x51mm ammunition and thought it was great. However, that was at a range that only allowed 1 round to be loaded at a time. I went shooting at another range which allowed more rounds and after about 100 rounds I was getting slam-fires. That shook me up some and...

I just bought a new Springfield Armory M1A with a synthetic stock. I'd like to mount a bipod and it looks like I need a fore-end QR or a Picatinny adapter. Since the stock has built in nut-plates, I'd like to know if anyone has found a flush QR stud or Picatinny adapter that would fit the...

I was thinking about using my Remington 870 20 gauge as a self defense shotgun as my wife would feel more comfortable with that rather than the 12 gauge Mossberg 500a. Has anyone made such a change, if so, where did you get the barrel. I've done a little looking for a 18 1/2 inch OC barrel...

I have S&W 625-6 (.45LC) and a 325pd (.45ACP) which a love and shoot a lot. I'm wondering if it makes sense to remove the cylinder from time to time and clean the extraction rod bearing surfaces. I've looked at them, but it the removal doesn't seem to be straight-forward. What do folks in...

Nothing like a .45 to put a Zombie down.:what: [/IMG]

I bought an S&W 325pd with a 4 inch barrel at a gun show and for the most part I am very happy with it. However, I have had some ignition problems when firing double action. I was first EXTREMELY concerned as I was getting a lot of first strike FTGB (failure to go bang) with double action and...

I have a S&W 325pd which I really like. I do carry it concealed from time to time. The Kramer IWB holster does a good job. However, the full moon reload clips are a little bulky. I bought some 1/3 moon clips and even after practicing reloads fora while, they are still a little slow (although...

In my younger days, I was an "automatic only" kind of guy. I carried a Colt Series 70 .45ACP LW Combat Commander for years. I transitioned to Glocks (but still carried 1911s)...but as I have grown older (maybe wiser although my wife and daughters may debate)...I have grown to like revolvers...

I'm thinking that after 1000s of rounds through my Glock 23C, I'm needing a new firing pin. I have looked at the titanium firing pins offered at my local gun show, but the $125 price has made me wary. Being a former engineer, I like the idea of titanium (really hard); but I'm wondering if it...

Just a note on my experience. During the "primer shortage", I bought a couple of 1000 Wolf primers (small pistol, large pistol). I have had a lot of issues with the large pistol primers for .45 ACP (note: I will try some in .45 LC when I switch calibers). I had issues with about 5% of the...
