I've loaded thousands of powder coated 9mm over the years, the majority being the LRN Lee 6 hole. I discovered some of the cavities were getting out of round so I went ahead and got an Arsenal truncated cone. My P01 does decently well with both, but I'm getting inconsistencies with my new...

I finally had my CZ's slide crack fixed, it should be here in a few days. I have never had to file down welds before, as a beginner should I get a basic set or would careful Dremel work be better? The microwelding is in some tight spots around the extractor groove and slide rails. If I go the...

I'm looking to take up mild competition with my Shadow 2. I tried a kydex holster but it just flopped around pretty bad. Years ago I had a Comp Tac and it worked decently enough, are those still pretty good or any other suggestions?

If anyone can put me in contact with a reputable gunsmith that knows how to repair a break I would appreciate it.

I’ve read countless threads and articles about 357 cast bullets in lever guns. From what I gather the Rossi has a 1-30” twist so either a 125gr at lower speeds or 158’s at around 1500fps. This is where I’m stuck. If I wanted one mold for 38 special or 357 mag velocities, there doesn’t seem...

I’m trying to sell my AR and pick up a lever in 357 or 45c. The Henry side gate looks nice but can’t find one locally to try out. A gun store here does however have Rossi’s in both calibers, so just wanted to get your thoughts.

I have my KY permit, which is reciprocal with TX. I may be visiting soon, could I theoretically open carry in TX?

I need to drill a 1/2" hole in 3/8" AR500. Someone hit it with a 50BMG and the previous hole where it met the hanger cracked right off. Machine shop?

Not really actual reloaded cases per se, but having experienced many bolt over jams in my '45 Springfield, I now understand the rounds in the clip need to be very even in height for proper function. I now firmly pound the rounds on a steel or hard wood plate so the all line up. After I...

I've been having some primer ignition issues in my CZ carbine, and I have to wonder if the FLRD is pushing the shoulder back too far. Do I simply back the die out a bit to keep the die off the shoulder, yet still resize the neck and deprime?

I've been using the 223 trimmer you chuck into the cordless drill while holding the trimmer bit in your hand. Half the time the case 'walks out' of the holder, no matter how much I hand tighten the lock nut. I can't sit there and use pliers on the thing every time, I'd never get done...

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but lately I've noticed substantial flame coming from the breech of my CZ 97b using my LRN reloads. Do I need to use a stronger recoil spring to help keep the slide closed longer? I'm not using hot loads, 5.5 7625 under a 230gr LRN. I have the spring but last time I...

I posted this on another board, maybe someone here could give further advice. My Garand stovepipes every couple clips. Here's a pic. I took everything apart, cleaned all the buildup out of the gas cylinder, plug etc and greased per the CMP site. Gunsmith time?

I use the Lee 155gr in my CZ x39 carbine, usually gas checked. I just ran out of checks, and as these are running 1500fps using wheel weights, is it necessary to use them to prevent leading?

Friend of mine wants to get one. Reviews point out the kydex and leather are excessively thick, but wanted to get opinions from other owners.

Posting for a friend of mine. He just bought a new Metro Arms Amigo 'commander' size 1911. Apparently these are notorious for having weak mainsprings. Before taking it to the range, I noticed it catches about 1/8" before going fully into battery. A push of the thumb does the trick and we...

I have moderate astigmatism and currently use regular glasses at the range. I'd like something with a larger lens for the range that won't break the bank. I'm considering something frameless at this point as I also shoot rifles and don't need a frame blocking my sight picture.

I know it is limited to 8 rounds, but why are these going for about $200 cheaper than the 9mm versions? Anyone with first hand experience? I just really like the 45, can't help it. I truly miss having a pistol caliber carbine and the Beretta is a much higher quality rifle than the HiPoint I...

I had a Yugo a few years ago so somewhat familiar with the gun. My neighbor showed me an SKS that was given to her by her father a couple years ago. In that dot matrix/electric pen etching it has 'Russia' with a few other import marks and has the stamped arrow inside a (star?) on the receiver...

I have a lot of fun with my Henry 22. A friend of mine let me try his Puma 45 and frankly I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised. My first shot at 20 yards hit a tiny 1" red dot on paper. Not a long distance but frankly this is how my 'need' for a gun begins. If I can naturally an easily peg...
