Seems like it is common knowledge that PSA ships extremely slow. I know this is a relative term for people (after all, us amazon prime members get spoiled with 2-day shipping :D), but I have never found it to be too bad. I have been gearing up for a couple more AR builds and have placed...

I have a pdf of hatcher's notebook and am looking at buying a hard copy. I am not sure if the "revised" version (first link below) actually includes more modern weapons? If not I think I'll just save some money and get the original (second link). That said, is there any other book that has...

So I really love reloading handgun rounds with my turret press (Lee Classic 4-die turret with Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure). It seems the process is designed for it: clean or not, you can resize/decap, charge and expand the case, seat a bullet and crimp (if you'd like). No worries, no fuss...

Wondering if any of you rural guys or amateur ballistics experts can run this experiment and get back to me. I have no means to test it myself (legally) :( and I was just curious as I walked home the other day... Along all the city streets, between the street and sidewalk, is usually a 3 or...

So I have been thinking I oughta get myself a dedicated depriming press, so I can deprime right away after shooting (before cleaning the cases) without worrying about gumming up my turret press. I also wanted it to be mobile so I can move it and set it up on the coffee table in front of the TV...

Been thinking I would like to add an AK to the collection. Mainly just to have one, because the Kalashnikov is one of the most famous, recognizable, mass-produced weapons of the past century. It feels wrong not to have one. I may not shoot it a lot (although nothing I own is a safe queen!) and I...

I was somewhat surprised to look at the latest NBC/WSJ poll and nowhere in the full text is "gun" even mentioned. Specifically, looking at Q13 and the list of issues that people feel are important to be addressed this year...

I am just super interested in design and the evolution of the AR design. I saw this photo of a top-charging AR and it fascinated me. Does anyone know how things progressed from this top-charger to the eventual charging handle we know today? Did it have something to do with mounting optics and...

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! So I just finished the book "American Gun" by the late great Chris Kyle. It is a very good book for the casual history buff, or any firearms enthusiast. It basically walks you through America's history, with 10 different guns as the backdrop. It is full of fun...

Okay, so I searched and couldn't find anything. It also doesn't help that the "Varmint" that RRA sells changed style recently, to an octagonal free float tube, versus the round tube it used to have (more like the current "Predator Pursuit" model). Anyway, I got this here...

Hey all, been awhile since I have posted much. Bought a house and all that. But aside from making me extremely busy lately, having a house is great and now I have a new dedicated space for reloading. I have a bench in progress...basically the NRMA bench that has plans widely circulated and is...

Hey all, it has been awhile since I have posted much of anything, being super busy at work and all. But during my lunch time perusal of various websites and comment boards, I came across this blog post/essay. Normally I don't click on such links in comments because they usually lead to unsavory...

Anyone placed an order with White Oak Armament during this craze and received anything yet? I ordered an A2 stock assembly about a month ago. Luckily I haven't been charged, but since it isn't really anything that needs to be assembled, I am a little irked. Their website now has a disclaimer...

I know we all love quotes, especially the pro-2a variety. However, there is nothing worse than when unsubstantiated quotes are used, only for someone to fact-check it and have it shot out of the sky. Some of these quotes are pretty pervasive and spread like wildfire due to the internet, so it is...

Just watching ABC news of the search for the boston bomber. The headline said "automatic gunfire" was heard near the lockdown area then they played the audio of the gunfire "pop........pop.........pop." Literally a second or so between shots. Even my wife who never shoots knows the difference...

Hi all, hoping someone with more legal mind can help me out. I had seen some pictures online of some people who used tool bags for their range bags, and thought it was a pretty good idea so I went and picked one up. It is sturdy, has tons of little sleeve pockets inside and a divider wall...

Okay so this is somewhat embarrassing. In my effort to find something--anything!--at the store to reload, I picked up a box of Hornady 160gr FTX bullets, item #30395. Naturally, I get home, look in the Hornady manual under .308 Winchester and don't see it. I also noticed that the cannelure...

Okay, before anyone says it, this will be a purely academic, likely futile exercise. Just for fun. If your brain is not the variety that ponders random stuff like this, you should probably just stop reading. The common retort to an anti after a mass shooting usually goes along the lines of...

So, for the next AR, I think I want to do a homebuild, just for the experience of it. I've got the assembly guide and just need to start slowly accumulating the parts & tools. I am patient and understand it won't happen very quick, and that's okay. I have a rough idea of what I want to do: I...

40 rounds, no jams. Fairly accurate from my limited skills and efforts. That is, I only had a red dot w/ 2x magnifier and wasn't going for precision at this stage, but still got about a 2.5" group at 50 yards. I was mostly concerned with the function of the rounds. Half of the rounds I loaded...
