    Do Lee Collet Dies (neck sizing only ) decap too?

    I want to reload 7mm-08 and would prefer to neck size only so I can use the brass longer. The Lee Collet Die set includes a neck sizing only die and a bullet seating die. Do these neck sizing only dies decap too, or do I need a universal decapping die as well?

    Disappointed with Rock River Lower

    I had an AR upper floating around with no lower so I picked up a RRA lower with the national match trigger and hogue pistol grip without much thought. The hogue grip felt great and the trigger is fantastic. I know Rock River has a good reputation so I didn't look it over too much or expect any...

    'Special bullets' killed Menezes

    Interesting article from the BBC educating their subjects about the fancy bullets their police use to deal with terrorists (or in this case an innocent man). Special bullets indeed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7045122.stm

    Basic ACOG mount question

    The TA01NSN comes with a flattop mount, can I take that mount off, buy the thumbscrew and put it directly onto the carry handle of an M4. I don't know if the flattop mount is on the ACOG permanently or if you can take it off and the thumbscrew will fit. These things are hard to come by...

    Philadelphia - "Illegal guns? City wants to come in and get them"

    This article is great. I've got an idea Philly, how about you keep someone locked up long enough so they don't go killing people while out on bail or parole. Yeah I'd be afraid to testify against someone who is a known thug, a known problem, has a long criminal history yet was allowed to roam...

    dumb question, what is a trigger stop?

    I searched but can't find a thread on this. What is a trigger stop? I think it physically stops the trigger from moving back unnecessarily far when firing, thus allowing a quicker reset. Am I close? Also, on a revolver can you see this externally, or is it strictly internal? Anyone...

    Can recoil damage my automatic self-winding watch?

    Has anyone ever heard of the recoil from shooting guns damaging any of the mechanisms in a self-winding automatic watch? I was shooting a small 357 Magnum today while wearing an Omega Seamaster. The watch manual says to avoid shock, but also says it can withstand 5000 g. It still works, do I...

    Review S&W's NEW MP360 Scandium Revo

    I bought a S&W MP360 yesterday to replace my Glock 27 as my carry gun. I was looking for a revolver and something light & small. I had heard some bad things about the scandium guns, but the lightweight & feel of the gun sold me on it anyway. This gun is a little different from the earlier...

    Got my C&R - Dealers want my photo id?

    I just got my C&R and am in the process of sending out my license and some dealers want a copy of my photo id. Anyone know why this is? If they can only send to the mailing address on the license for what purpose would they need my id?

    PA Governer Rendell pushes 'One Gun A Month'

    PA anti-gun Gov. Ed Rendell is once again pushing for changes to limit handgun sales to one a month. I fear PA will soon go the way of the other liberal NE states. In the Philly suburbs we used to have Republicans, now we have rich guilty liberals, ugh...

    Bad luck, or does one gunshop consistently sell 'broken' guns?

    Is this just a coincidence, or is there a reason one dealer may be getting a lot of guns that need to be sent back to be fixed? I bought 6 guns in 2006, 5 of them were from one reputable dealer. Of those 5, 3 needed to be sent back to the factory for warranty work. 2 of the 3 are not guns you...

    Store clerk fights back, pro-gun video featured on CNN.com

    This video is featured on the CNN.com website this morning, but I can't link to that so here is the local story link & text. The text isn't that great but the video on CNN.com ends with "...fearless clerks & digital cameras helping keep a cap on crime."...

    Guns & Ammo Mag, past due notice nonsense

    My mother in law renewed my subscription for Guns & Ammo Magazine this Christmas. Somehow they got it wrong and think there are 2 subscriptions. So 2 issues come to my house every month. One in my name and one in her name. I wouldn't care except they keep sending notices saying you...

    Leading, blued vs. stainless

    I have found that my 44 magnum stainless leads less with fast lead loads than my 38 special blued gun does with light lead loads. The bullets are from the same maker. Is this a common occurrence or just varies from gun to gun? I also find it more difficult to remove the lead from the blued...

    Will Bushmaster pay shipping on warranty work?

    Has anyone sent anything back to bushmaster for a warranty repair? Do they pay shipping. Bushmaster emailed me saying they will fix it, but I am anxious to hear if they will pay shipping to and fro. By the way, it is an M4A2 with an over indexed barrel / canted front sight which has...

    Bulged or Just Expanded?

    I wish my digital camera was up and running so I could post a pic, but can someone tell me the difference between brass that is bulged (like from an unsupported chamber) and that which is just expanded from firing? Pics would help. I am shooting a Sig 226 9mm with Federal factory ammo 115...

    Instacheck down day before PA hunting season, political?

    I was at a local gun shop today and they said the instacheck system was down so I couldn't buy a gun today. They said it is the day before hunting season (in PA) and this was politically motivated. Your thoughts?

    Sig Mosquito Questions: 1)field stripping 2)threaded barrel

    I have two questions about the Sig Mosquito. How does it field strip for cleaning? Can you just add a thread adapter like on a Walther P22 or do you need to buy one with the threaded barrel that sticks out past the slide? I would appreciate answers to these questions and am not...
