    Mixed brass for free

    I have a bag of mixed brass that anyone can have for the cost of shipping. Should all fit in a small USPS Flat Rate Box, so shipping is basically $6. Send via PayPal and it's yours. [/url]IMG_1297 by Larry Webster, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Trimming brass

    I've been reloading for a while now, but mostly pistol ammo and .223 for the AR, so I haven't been super concerned about all the tiny details. However, I want to start loading as accurate a .308 WIN load as I can. So, I've bought a case trimmer. I assumed that my shot brass would be longer...

    Interesting take on UBC

    The Wall Street Journal made an interesting point about universal background checks the other day in their "Best of the Web" column. As it is now, only FFLs are required to, but more importantly, are allowed to access the NICS background check system. Once UBC is passed (if it is), anyone...

    Carry at Stubbs in Austin

    I could probably find this out with some searching, but I thought I'd ask my THR friends in Texas if they know. I'm escorting my 15 year old daughter and a couple of her friends to a concert at Stubbs in downtown Austin. Does anyone know if Stubbs has posted the appropriate sign to prevent me...

    Anyone know FL and TX CCW rules

    I'm considering a family vacation to Florida and wonder if anyone can tell me if there are any major differences between TX and FL regarding CCW rules. I don't drink, so I don't carry in bars. I don't intend on going to any schools, sporting events or concerts. I assume I cannot carry at...

    Why do we need that silly 2nd Amendment Again?

    Read this and tell me if the people of the Ivory Coast needed to be armed or not? How people can think the government and police will always be on their side is beyond me. Wake up people...

    Lobbying Against Campus Carry in TX

    Those of you who live in Texas, especially college students, should be interested in this. A group is trying to get a protest going at the Capitol against the campus carry laws that we are hoping to pass. If you have Facebook, check this out and maybe post some gun and carry friendly things...

    Do Burris scopes have short eye relief?

    I have a Browning Euro Bolt rifle, with a Bavarian stock. I have found it very difficult to get the proper eye relief with my Burris 4.5-14 scope. I have it mounted as far back as I can get it, and it still seems like I have to climb up the stock. I have heard that the Eurobolt has a longer...

    New (used) shotgun

    My son just started shooting shotguns (he's 11) and we want a project gun for him. I refinished an old Winchester 1400 with my daughter, and he'd like to do one for himself. I've had some reliability problems with the Winchester, so I'm looking for recommendations. I'm thinking my best bet is...

    Problem with Browning bolt

    I was screwing around with my bolt, I know that's the first sign of trouble, and I rotated the back end, the shroud I guess, almost one complete turn. I heard a click and now the firing pin is fully extended, the handle is locked down and I can't get the bolt back in the rifle. How do I fix this...

    Problem with browning bolt

    I was screwing around with my bolt, I know that's the first sign of trouble, and I rotated the back end, the shroud I guess, almost one complete turn. I heard a click and now the firing pin is fully extended, the handle is locked down and I can't get the bolt back in the rifle. How do I fix...

    Subsonic 30.06?

    I had a friend ask me if it was possible to load a subsonic 30.06 round. I didn't think so, but I thought I'd ask.

    North Austin Area Gunsmith

    I have a friend who would like to thread a barrel and is looking for a recommendation. I've already received one for the Gun Store in Cedar Park, which is nice because it is close, but I'd like a couple other references. Anyone know of a good gunsmith who can thread a barrel in the North...

    AR trigger jobs

    A while ago, a member of THR notified us that he does AR trigger jobs. I sent mine to him and have been very pleased. I have a new AR and would like another trigger job, but I can't remember who it was. I believe he was located in Colorado. Does anyone know who that was? Thanks!

    Solved an Otis Problem

    This might fit better in another forum, but I couldn't think of it, so I'm putting it here. I was cleaning a new AR upper last night using my Otis cleaning kit. For those of you unfamiliar with this system, you pull a flexible cord through the bore, with the cleaning patch at the end of the...

    Help with Browning Eurobolt

    I'm hoping someone can help me here. I just bought a Browning Eurobolt, and love it, but apparently Leupold is the only company that makes scope mounts for it, and I am just not a fan of this type of mount. Does anyone know of any other manufacturer of scope mount that will fit a Browning...

    Pacesetter or Deluxe dies

    I have a Lee Classic Turret, and up until now have not been terribly concerned with producing ammo with the utmost accuracy. I mostly reload plinking ammo for pistols, so I haven't been concerned with super accuracy. However, I just bought a Browning A-bolt in .308, and will use it extensively...

    300 WM downloaded recipies

    I read in a different thread that people are downloading 300 WM to 308 levels with good success. Does anyone have a recipe for this? I have 110 grain and 130 grain bullets, but the loads in my manuals for these bullets don't seem to be any less hard recoiling than the 150 and 180 grain bullets...

    S&W Model 1000

    I was at Cabela's today and saw what looked to be a very good condition S&W 1000 in 12 gauge for $299. It had nice wood, the bluing was nice, no nicks, scratches or dings, so why is it so cheap? Is that what these things go for? Granted, it was a fixed choke at IC, but still, it seemed to be...

    Powder Easier to Find

    It appears that the supply of powder is getting better. I was just at Cabela's and for the last several months they have had almost nothing, just some shotshell powder. Today they had a bunch. I bought 3 pounds. Now if we could just get some primers and bullets, we'd be sitting pretty again...
