    Vermont CONFISCATION without Judicial Oversight, bill H.422

    House role call vote passed the threshold with 5 votes or so it will go to a 3rd reading. In listening to the legislators in session a consistent theme emerged. If the situation doesn't warrant arresting the individual merely citing them, than how is it constitutional to take their property...

    Vermont CONFISCATION without Judicial Oversight, bill H.422

    I'm not sure how low the bar actually is for "citations" or "arrests". I believe that there isn't much distinction on the low end of the spectrum meaning you could probably get either with a mere accusation and a grumpy cop. How subjective can either be?

    .260 remington help

    .243 necked up brass with 120-140 gr over a stout charge of 1. Varget, 2. IMR 4350, 3RL15. I run this through an AR-10 8.5 twist, piecemeal build and do fine now that all the idiosyncrasies of the semi have been worked out. In a nice bolt stick like yours it should be vastly easier to reload...

    When is ENOUGH enough?

    OP, I asked myself the same question after a number of AR-15 variants covering a range of purposes ie. heavy long range bull barrel 24"s down to light contour 16"s. At that point, is was still looking rather bleak for black guns with the 2012 election in the offing so I jumped into the AR-10...

    http://legislature.vermont.gov/assets/Documents/2018/Docs/BILLS/H-0422/H-0422 As Introduced.pdf Despite your home state, a worthwhile and relevant discussion might be had exploring this confiscation bill in its nuances, how it could be made better or arguments to present to my legislators based...

    Do you ever feel like your gun interests are just too varied to be healthy?

    Just remember that each piece of hardware is a tangible investment, usually in the long run, appreciating rather than depreciating. It is relatively easy to liquidate but in the short run will likely cost you from purchase price (depending on the item / gun politics). I've found that shooting...

    Ruger SR 22

    - recoils and jumps similar (proportionally diminutive) to big brother cal. semi's - operation / manipulation similar to big brother cal's - the biggest departure (training / practice purposes for carryover) from larger semi's is the ergonomics of a small frame / trigger reach altering...

    VT h.422, CONFISCATION bill without judicial oversight

    Hi all, here in VT we have the latest bit of 'literal' gun grabbing legislation, seeking to obfuscate Constitutional rights. As what happens in a "frontier" state such as VT is likely to be visited on less gun friendly states such as yours, I think a open and broad dialogue on the tenets of our...

    Savage target action trigger problems

    Thanks all..... What got me mixed up is I borrowed the rear most trigger guard screw from one of my LRPV's and it is a machine screw not a wood screw on that application & so happens to be the same thread as the bottom of the trigger mechanism. A little Devcon and a little milling machine work...

    Savage target action trigger problems

    Hi all, I'm getting close to completing a new build but am having trouble with the trigger getting bound up when the action screws on either side of the trigger guard are torqued down beyond finger tight. Primarily the small rear most screw is the culprit, however the larger 1/4 28 screw...

    Reforming cal. / Primer - Charge delay

    To Gamestalker... thanks for your post. In general I haven't really though about that extra step of making the brass squeaky clean prior to priming. I did not prime prior to re-forming. What I did was heavily lube a bunch of brass prior to reforming then primed them all right after...

    Reforming cal. / Primer - Charge delay

    I'll have to try some spray lube / Q-tip. Thus far, I've been using that thick RCBS stuff for the roll pad. I generally just get a bunch of it on my one hand and rub it all over the case. Like I said, new at this... From what I've managed to read it's easier necking up than down. I...

    Reforming cal. / Primer - Charge delay

    I'm new to reforming brass. I am going from .243 to .260. I used too much lube on the starting .243 cases with a .260 die. As a result, the end product has the primer going off - delay - main charge going off a split second later. I have a bunch more sized and primed not loaded yet, can...

    Egg Shoot (225ish yds.) best <$2K, cal./gun/scope

    Great feedback! The 6 PPC is a new 'animal', have not heard about it. I generally gravitate toward utilitarian cal. / availability of components. 6mm shouldn't be too hard to find in bullets but the brass of 6 PPC, not so sure?... My next build will likely be in the 6.5mm realm, as bullets...

    Egg Shoot (225ish yds.) best <$2K, cal./gun/scope

    I don't know about gas vs. bolt guns. I have A-bolt Browning's x 3 (06,.308, 7-08), Win. model 70's in x 2 (30-06) but never feel as though I have the precision for > 200 yd shots with them... It might be a flinch factor for me. I can take one of my .308 bull barrel AR's and "tack drive" at...

    Egg Shoot (225ish yds.) best <$2K, cal./gun/scope

    So a bunch of my range buds have been doing these egg shoots at 200 meters. .22-250, .22swift, .204 are what they are using. Any thoughts on what cal. might shave off a cm. or two in accuracy given the same shooter (recoil/wind drift etc. etc.) What power scope is ideal? I'm thinking of...

    Gun-friendly/firearm-cultural places to visit in New England/Tri-state area?

    VT you can strap on a gun or tuck it in your pocket locked'n loaded and go anywhere except court or near a school. Most people shoot in their back yards so rifle ranges are largely a moot aspect of life here. I am a member of a fish & game club (+ rifle range) in Randolph, VT. You could...

    AR .260 feed/eject prob. sighting in

    RC, thanks for the pointers. The set screws are tight Do you think the internals could be that messed up w/ gunk after 30-45 rounds & hand fed 45-60?

    AR .260 feed/eject prob. sighting in

    DPMS gas block... I had a 'guy' who knew an "experienced AR guy" do the actual barrel wrench tightening and gas block. I'm trying to fix things as I don't want to deal with these guys again. Pictured is the identical gas block just taken out of its packing from DPMS, bought for the next...
