I have a mosin m44 that’s had a tight chamber from the beginning. When you chamber a shell the bolt handle is hard to turn. I have about 50 brass casings I reload and I have sanded the head down so they chamber. But a friend gave me a spam can of surplus ammo. Is the barrel screwed in too...

So I’ve never been much of a coyote hunter. More of a shoot them when I see them to protect livestock (and my quail pop). I have had a huge influx of them though and have had to run them away from cows calving. So I told some friends of mine who do competition hunts and they said let’s go. In 30...

every time I buy a new one the first thing I do is throw the flash hider or muzzle brake in the trash and put a thread protector on it. When you shoot out the pickup window it’s not too bad on the ears. An inch or so shorter too! I would think manufacturers would want to save the dollar too.

Anyone using the BDX system? I’m about convinced to buy one. Is the glass good besides the BDX features? it’s priced pretty dang cheap for a good scope. I’m mainly curious what I’m left with if the BDX quits.

I haven’t bought a gun in 3-4 years. I’m in the market for a pretty specific gun. Looks like there’s a ton of options today, but I can’t hold them in my hands because of the shortage. So what fits my bill? .308 win bolt gun (I’m heavily invested in reloading supplies and have other rifles)...

So my dad wants a scope for Christmas. I have some help in buying it so I can spend a fair amount. I was going to get him an athlon Argos and they just went on sale...

I’m not much for trendy or corny, but I couldn’t help myself and preordered one of these Beto lowers. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-no-beto-ar-15-stripped-lower-receiver-preorder-item-8-9-weeks-delivery.html No plans on what to build from it. I’d rather have a lower than donate to any...

does anyone have an idea of what to do with zinc Ingots. Back before I had kids I did a ton of smelting tire weights, when I got a good few I’d even smelt the zinc ones down into Ingots. I found a box of them the other day and wish I had time for that crap now. Seems like back then guys were...

So I’m in the process of buying a new home. It has some land and a rail road right a way that’s a bit over a mile long. (Railroad is long gone so I just own the stretch where it used to go.) I’m going to build a shooting range on it obviously. Probably just out to 800 yards for now. It’s...

Hey guys hogs have really boomed this year and now that the cottons off there is some really good opportunities to thin the herd. I’ve been using my 300 blk AR and it works ok for the first shot, but I’m not doing very good once they turn and run. I’m hearing lots of hit and not getting many...

So I found this ballast block at my dads. I remember when I was a kid he melted that corner off for weight in pinewood derby cars. Anyone have any idea what the alloy could be? Feels hard. Google doesn’t say anything, but the company comes up a marine related.

I Keep seeing all these favorite rifle threads. How about one for guns that get the job done? This one does it all. Target shoots then, take an occasional shot out the window. Then now and then goes on a rough excursion. Then is fully expected to still be on target. I really need a better...

Can I do some polishing and make a classic turret smooth? I’m waiting on a replacement decapping pin and the hanger for the safety prime and I’ll be in business. It is new so it may just need some use to smooth up. Stage one FL size and deprime, stage 2 Lee trim die with power trim, reprime...

So all these guys are talking about the guns they sold, passed on or whatever. But I’m having more trouble parting with reloading equipment. Some of my presses I know I’ve spent a lot of time with. I’m trying to go a different direction though, but I’m really having trouble making myself sell...

So I have the tru-line jr press that’s been sitting. I got a 7/8 turret for it fully knowing it’s only a light duty press. I figured 223 was light duty so I set up this cool powder dispensing system so I could load 223 rounds quickly for hunting and shooting stuff. Well, some of the cases are...

So I went to the city for a week last week and I didn’t want to not have a rifle with me, but I didn’t want my good ones stolen. So I grabbed my old cetme out of the safe and put it and 3 loaded mags in the rack figuring it’s alot less tempting than anything I normally carry. (Mind you I’d be...

Found this in my junk drawer. Tong tool missing lots of stuff. I thought these shell holders went with it, but they don’t thread into it. Doesn’t look like the primer seater goes with it at all either, but it works with the one home made shell holder! Any idea what the shell holders go to?

I bought an estate of reloading stuff some time ago and it’s full of items that are a mystery to me. I’d like some help IDing some if y’all are game. Stripper clips of some sort Muzzle brake. Long one Threads look coarse. Smaller one is just a cone threads are fine not 5/8-24 for sure on...

So I’ve kinda got a hard on for a carry handle AR. I have an AR carbine that needs a carry handle if it’s not lost in a boating accident soon. Looks like the clip ones are all made the same, but seems like the reviews of the function of the sights are all over the place. Looks like I’ll have...

How short can you go on a 223/5.56 with a suppressor before you give up major velocity? Does anyone make a suppressor that uses some area towards the breech for expansion so it doesn’t stick out so far? What I’d like is a gun that with a suppressor that is similar length to a 16”AR with the...
