    Repackbox

    This is an unsolicited product endorsement. I've used Repackbox for boxing up my reloads for a few years now. For most its overkill, but I've had fun printing up my own labels and packing up my ammo with my own logo and all the loading data on the box. Its a good product, but my most recent...

    110g RMR fmj for 30 carbine

    My first batch of 30 carbine loads were worked up with Armscor projectiles, which requires the coal to be shortened up a bit due to a more blunt bullet profile, I load them to about 1.655". The RMR bullets I've just gotten around to loading have an even rounder ogive (blunter profile) On...

    Cheap* vs Premium Ammo

    I'm not an excellent shot with a rifle by any stretch of the imagination. And I am fully aware that different loads can and will have different points of impact on target, and yet I was still surprised at how much variation I found at a relatively short distance of 100yds. The target below is...

    Just Doesn't Add Up

    In the quest to feed a newly acquired Winchester '94 in 30-30 I've been stalking the internet for components and/or loaded rounds. Right now best prices on loaded ammunition seems to be running about $1.50/rd. To add 30-30 to my repertoire, I need a die set, case length gauge, power, bullets...

    Noob Needs Help with Winchester 94 Scope

    Well, I've run into something that I just don't have a lot of experience with. I've inherited a Win '94 that came to me with a side mount 4x scope. I've burned thru more than a box of ammo trying to zero to no avail. Shooting way left, and adjusting the right-left turret seems to change poi...

    Smart Guns....Are We Doing this Again?

    Saw this pop up on my news feed today https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/smart-guns-finally-arriving-us-seeking-shake-firearms-market-rcna11757 Personaly...I find the idea half baked and unworkable. However, with so many new and prospective gun owners in the market, I fear something like...

    Santa Claus was Good to Me

    Got the In Line Fabrication tool head storage racks for my Lee turret, and a new Auto Disk measure with the adjustable throw. Nice little addition, now I can take a break from loading one caliber to crank out a small batch of something else without losing my powder measure settings. I'm...

    Long Time Coming

    Finally got my first box of 30 Carbine put up. Special thanks to @GeoDudeFlorida and @KY DAN for helping a brother out getting components together. I started getting materials together back in '18....finally got it together. Armscorp 110fmj, a little hourglass, but I've tested the load, they...

    1944 Winchester M1 Carbine

    Hey, got some questions regarding a recently inherited Winchester. I'm not an expert on carbines, but I've seen more than my fair share of Forgotten Weapons videos and noticed this seems to have an odd assortment of features. Well, really just the safety seems out of place. By the serial...

    Trimming 30 Carbine

    Ok, here's the situation. I have successfully loaded a few hundred 30 Carbine at this point, but I'm finding the trimming to be a royal pain in the backside. Looking for a better solution. Right now I'm using a Lee trimmer on my cordless drill, and thats fine, it works. However, the process...

    Floppy Dingus

    I have recently come into possession of a reportedly pre '64 Winchester model 94. A family friend passed this past year and this was part of the collection. I haven't had much time yet to look it over, and it will actually be arriving at the house Thursday, but I did get a chance to handle it...

    Sanity check - 270win Zero

    Going to sight in my 7600 270win soon. Using 130g Federal Fusion (or 130 CoreLok). The area that I will be hunting rarely gives an opportunity for shots over 150yds, and more often than not, would be shooting between 50 and 100 yards. Question being, should I zero at 50yds? Looking at...

    SDS Tisas 1911

    There is another thread on this gun that I didn't want to completely hijack, so here is my initial impression on this $389 Turkish 1911. Not too shabby, I've paid a lot more for a lot less. Its a plain jane 1911A1. The sights are rudimentary, but usable, better than GI standard IMO. The...

    Taurus Lifetime Guarantee

    I remember hearing a while back that Taurus no longer issued a lifetime warranty on their pistols. Just wondering if they still honored it on older products. I have a TCP that the cross pin is starting to walk out under recoil. Parts for it are simply not obtainable, so I'm trying to decide...

    Why no 32 Super Auto?

    With the trend to higher capacity micro 9mm pistols, and now micro sized double stack 380s coming on the market, why has no one developed a 32 Super Auto? Savage had a 10+1 32 auto double stack well over 100 years ago. How about a rimless 7.65 Browning Long? 7.65 x 20 or 32 super auto? I'm...

    Melt Day

    Had a productive day today. Melted down about 35lbs of wheel weights along with most of my stash of rejects. Had an additional 15 or so lbs of stick on weights and melted those down with some of my older muffin ingots of soft lead. Still have enough weights for another full melt. I had...

    Gen 1 Glocks

    Was reading another post about guns that will stand the test of time, which got me to wondering...How have the first crop of Glocks held up. 40 years on, who still has a Gen 1 Glock that has been used or carried extensively that is still in good shape? I know that glass reinforced polymer is...

    Selling to Numrich

    Has anyone here sold parts or complete firearms to Numrich? Wondering how its turned out for anyone who has. I had a single shot 16 gauge given to me, a Sportsman Cleveland, aka Crescent Victor non-ejector of the (best guess) 1920's vintage. I don't have much interest in procuring 2.5" shells...

    Whoopsie Doodles

    Snapped the extractor on my Sistema yesterday. Not suspecting any issues, its a 70 year old pistol, so that tracks. I have an extractor on order from Numrich, this one specifically Question being, do these all require some degree of fitting? I've watched a couple videos now on shaping the...
