I have a Savage Bmag as a truck/tractor gun that takes a beating. The factory bluing/parkerizing has a few scratches and dings that are starting to rust. A local shop has just gotten set up to do Cerakoting (not sure if it's really Cerakote, may be a similar type of product). I'm thinking...

I bought an 870 Express Mag a couple years ago from a pawn shop. There's no telling how many rounds have been through the old gun, but it's still in pretty decent shape. I've got a renewed interest in busting clays and would like to get this gun running smooth again. The first issue is that the...

I think I've found a justification for another gun. Lately I've been thinking it would be nice to have a truck gun. Something to dispatch coons, possums, skunks, menacing stray dogs, coyotes, or whatever I may run into. I help manage a lrage cattle ranch and am running around all the time. Im...

My firearms season always falls during a very busy time of year. I did get a buck, but was only able to hunt a couple days after that. The anterless portion wrapped up tonight, and I would like to get another deer. That leaves the alternative methods season later this month. Centerfire pistols...

A LGS has Tula .223 for 5.00/20. I can't reload plinking ammo for 25c a round. I bought 80 rounds yesterday, thinking about grabbing some more today. They are all silver bullets that I have not seen before. All of the threads I have read are all just assumptions and bickering, can't seem to...

I'll be taking the Barska 3-9 Contour off of my 300BLK MP15 and putting it on the Anderson 5.56 AR that I just finished. I'll be buying a new optic for the M&P, and am looking for some feedback on scopes in my price range. I have read all about their reputation, but I have used 6 Barska...

My second AR is getting close to being finished and I'm looking into muzzle devices. While I appreciate the concern, this is going to be a hunting rifle, and I won't be wearing hearing protection for that. On the range, always, but not in the woods. The factory A2 flash hider was...

I've been working over some .223 brass into 300 BLK. When it comes to trimming, I'm looking for some input. I'm using the Lee cutter and lock stud with a 300 BLK length gauge, with the cutter mounted in a vise and lock stud in a cordless drill. After about 50 rounds it seemed like the...

My first loads have been with Armscor 110gr FMJ round nose carbine bullets. They feed just fine and hit on target. However, I would like to hunt with this rifle and will need a projectile for that application. From what I've read some people like the Hornady V-Max, although it isn't...

I made up my first .300 BLK rounds last night. Used Armscor 110gr FMJ projecticles, once fired brass, and 19.5 grains of H110. I eyeballed the powder level and tried to set the bullets just above it. These projectiles don't have a channellure. I fired 10 of the 35 that I loaded without a...

I've been looking for an inexpensive upper to mount my old M&P15 barrel to. A LGS had Anderson lowers for 64.99 plus tax, so I grabbed one of them, even though I don't really need it. They don't have any uppers in stock though. Aim Surplus, PSA, Anderson direct, are all out of stock for...

I have wanted an AR for years now, and had a like new Smith and Wesson MP15 Sport 2 fall into my lap as a partial trade for a truck that I was selling. It's a nice shooter and all, but it has limited usefulness as a .223. There is very little varmint hunting in this area. I have aspirations...

I bought a Smith and Wesson SD9VE almost a year ago. It's a great pistol, but I'm not sure it'll work that well for carrying IWB. So, I'm looking at more compact options that will be more conveniently carried. Like the Tarus PT738, Ruger LCP, etc. I played with a Diamondback DB9 at a local gun...

I bought a Lee 50th anniversary kit last week, and pacesetter dies for .223. Using once fired Monarch brass, 25 grains of Varget, and a 55 grain V-max projectile, I made up my first 10 rounds a couple days ago. This is what the case looked like after firing. There is some black residue around...

I've been considering a new hunting rifle for the past couple years, but I just got a new credit card that will give me a 150.00 credit if I spend 500 bucks.. So I figure what better way to spend it than on a new rifle. I'd like to keep the rifle around the 350-400 mark, and the total with...

Lately I've had an itch for another gun purchase. I happen to stumble upon the Hi Point 995 and I think it would be a fun rifle to have around. I plan to use it as a target shooter and a critter control/medium game rifle. As of now I'm looking at a 995TS with the 4x scope and 15 round mag...
