    Is CCI Blazer aluminum case fading away?

    I shot quite a lot Blazer AL 45acp back in the last century. It was surprisingly accurate and reliable in my Colt Commander. Out of curiosity I bought a box recently but haven't got around to firing any yet.

    Is Glock the Colt 1911 of the 1980s & earlier?

    I only own one Glock,a G48 MOS and a few 1911s,all Commander size. I had a 43X,but sold it on as my LC9s suits my need for CC better. I guess the 48 reminds me somewhat of a 9mm Commander,plus that I could mount a RDS and Streamlight on right out the box. I think of it as a good tool that fits...

    What's up with the Lewiston brass?

    Thanks for the replies. I should have searched and found Live Life's postings. I see the Speer/Blazer brass have the least thickness below the case mouth. I guess this the reason for my set back problem. Just to be sure,with the dies still in the LCT from yesterday,I just ran 3 inert rounds each...

    What's up with the Lewiston brass?

    I purchased some Speer Lawman 9mm ammo,shot off 100 rounds and decided to reload the cases with RMR 124 MW. I was at about the 25th round when the thought of set back checking entered my old brain. Sure enough the bullets easily slid into the case when pressed against the bench. Usually I check...

    Mini14 fails to pick up round from magazine

    The Springfield has Arrived

    I really like mine. 500 round count,no problems except one minor one. Get a 1.5mm hex key and some purple thread lock and make sure the rear sight set screw is tight and stays that way.

    Dan Wesson Guardian Slide Release Question

    Problem with my Guardian's slide stop was fixed at DW by removing some of the Duty Finish. The SS is an Ed Brown product. I like the groove to align the plunger.

    My mini 14 had a 0.100 gas bushing in it.

    I'm 72 in a couple of months and live on a ranch in coastal Oregon....Near on impossible to stay out of the rain and mud.

    My mini 14 had a 0.100 gas bushing in it.

    When I bought my 5800 series,I messed about with the gas system changing the bushings. In the end,I changed it back to the factory stock gas bushing. If it sends the brass into orbit and dents the case I don't care. I have more AR .223/5.56 fired brass than I can shake a stick at. I want that...

    Does anyone still carry an LC9 or LC9S?

    I still carry my LC9s daily. I purchased a G43X to replace it a few years ago but ended up selling it to a friend as I found the Ruger easier to carry consealed, with a much better trigger.

    Ricocheting Primers on LCT

    I like to size and deprime on my Lee Classic Turret as a single stage. I have a LED light on the turret carrier and this gives me a chance to check each case carefully. The only part that annoys me is the spent primer launching out of the ram slot and having to crawl around on my old knees...

    Servisios and Adventuras Primer Observations.

    I've gone through a brick so far. 100% went bang. That's a whole lot better than the last batch of Winchester's SPP.

    Acceptable accuracy for a .357 carbine at 50 yds?

    I installed a Marble's tang sight on my Miroku '73,used a dovetail blank as the ladder sight interfered with the sight picture. It will make cloverleafs at 50yds. Thinking of buying one of the folding barrel sights like what came on my 1980's came on my 1980's 10/22 for close in fast shots.
