    Intratec Tec-22 scorpion 10/2 mags

    So i've had an Intratec Tec-22 scorpion for years now. Tried all sorts of Ruger aftermarket 10/22 mags with it and only the RamLine black 25 rounder really feeds flawlessly in this gun. It has a little plastic slider piece on a spring on the back of it, seems like a sort of quick release lever...

    XD-9 Slide Lock Fails on Empty Mag

    Well, after some more debug, the Retired LE - firearms instructor & armorer has it shook down. I had read this before also, having a shooters thumb reset the slide lock on recoil without knowing it. As a perfect grip placement shooter i of course refused to believe it was the operator and must...

    XD-9 Slide Lock Fails on Empty Mag

    So I bought my first XD, an older gen XD-9. Feels great in the hand, shoots to point of aim, no failures to feed or eject. Loved it for the first 300 rounds. Today I went to range, shot 2 mags no issues, and the 3rd failed to lock the slide the back on an empty mag. Thought it could be ammo...

    223 Rem powder H335 vs Varget

    Ramshot So I put a few loaves of italian bread in the over and followed sourdoughs idea, ordered 15 lbs of the Ramshot TAC and will let a few ride with it. Buying 1 pounders here and there with this scattered availability market makes no sense if you actually find a good load that works...

    223 Rem powder H335 vs Varget

    How to fit your COL to your chamber and barrel lands? So, much of what I have read about reloading has a lot to do with the angle and diameter of the throat of the bullet/ and or case as it goes into your chamber and distance from rifle lands. Is it a stupid idea to get a case prepared, skip...

    223 Rem powder H335 vs Varget

    The Thompson Center Contender has dozens of caliber barrel options with the same lower receiver. My favorite barrel is the 223 Rem, but when I shoot rifle loads > 55 grains, the short barrel and long twist don't stabilize well, so pistol shooters generally stick to lower weight bullets and...

    223 Rem powder H335 vs Varget

    So, i am tired of overpaying for the hazmat shipping fees for my powder, and just started reloading 223 rem (did lots of handgun loads, never rifle). I started loading H335 and some dogtown 55 and 62 grain FMJHPs, and some 40 grain V-max for my Contender pistol load. I had some reasonable luck...

    Lee PPM Leaks a bunch - any fixes?

    So I bought a new Lee powder measure tool (the red plastic with the pull handle. My old one works ok, but I replaced the center screw and it is loosy goosy and just cracked the powder housing, so thought I would replace. I know my original one must have been 10 years old, and when I would load a...

    Anyone try a Kel-Tec PLR-16 compensator/brake on an AR Rifle

    So, the PLR-16 from Kel-Tec has an optional AK-74 shorty style muzzle brake that actually throws gasses only to the sides (no top or bottom holes at all). While, on this AR pistol using rifle loaded ammo (factory 223 rem), it is extremely effective at reduced muzzle jump, it tears the ears out...

    Skipping the re-throating step

    I put my chamfer cutter on a drill I spun my chamfer tool off of the handle, and put it into my drill chuck. works very well, fast, just a couple seconds of spin on each throat and no burrs left at all. i can do 50 rounds in about 3 minutes, all good clean throat angles. I had the old school...

    Skipping the re-throating step

    Has anyone ever skipped one of the 3 steps using the Lee presses for 9mm luger or 45ACP? I'm talking about primer removal/sizing, then expand throat, then powder and bullet set - removing the throat expansion step? I tried this with a handfull of 45acp and 9mm luger, just doing a chamfer with...

    Welding repair - can anyone recommend a welder

    Trying local welding shops before i ship it. I was planning to have to refinish this anyway, but know little about how to tell pot metal from aluminum. It is a key part to this fun POS plinker though, so either way I hope to at least join these two parts. :)

    Welding repair - can anyone recommend a welder

    I have a floating aluminum handguard on a Tec-22 Intratec pistol that fell apart after a few hundred rounds of use due to some apparent poor welds. It is a black anodized two part gaurd, a perforated tube, and an endcap that has a welded threaded insert that screws the entire thing onto the...

    Tell me about your 9mm Luger loads with Titegroup

    I went ahead and got a scale. Glad I did. Eyeballing those Lee scoopers was very inconsistent, and i was running just up to if not past the 4.9 grain Titegroup recommended loads. I started out pressing a few JRN magtech 115gr ball I had with a few 4.2, 4.4, and 4.6 grain Titegroup loads with...

    Tell me about your 9mm Luger loads with Titegroup

    How does 4.0 grains of Titegroup compare with CCs? I have a very basic loading setup with a Lee single stage press that came with the CC powder cups and the red powder kit. I generally calibrate the Lee charger until it fills just where I want it to into one of the 0.5 CC Lee powder dippers...
