    1911Tuner, I have a question

    I am on a never ending quest to understand about 1/100th of what you do regarding JMB's creation. If I am understanding the above correctly, the barrel will be in full down position, with the back of the lower legs against the wall (the frame wall there). The slide stop pin should be in contact...

    "New" Mosin-Nagant serial number

    I finally broke down an purchased a 91/30 Mosin (with my C & R license). I got one with the Hex receiver. Ugly brute as expected (though a certain elegance in its nature). I noticed that the serial number (in the 115XXX range 1929 Tula plant) is on the barrel. I am guessing that is why there is...

    Long Gun for Panama

    My sister (who lives in Panama) is here in the states for a few weeks visiting. While she is here, she wants to buy a .22 rifle to take back to Panama with her. She says that everybody in Panama comes to the US to buy rifles (at least .22s) because they are cheaper and better made. I know she...

    Ramshot TAC for 5.56

    I know that a lot of folks like H335 for the AR, but Powdervalley has a great price on Ramshot TAC right now, has anyone used this for the AR? They say it is great for the heavy rounds, but I shoot mostly 55 and 62 gr. Not a benchrest shooter, just off-hand but I don't want to buy 16 # of...

    5.56 with IMR 3031

    I am set to load up some 5.56, and reading through posts a lot of folks recommended the IMR 3031. So, I got a couple of pounds and wanted to make up 10 test rounds. I used 24 grs for a 55 gr BTFMJ bullet in some LC cases. The 24 grs fills the case right up to the top (or dang close to the...

    Definition of Firearm

    I was watching "American Rifleman" last night (I think it was American Rifleman, either that or Guns and Ammo--TIVO), and the person was talking about an air rifle. He said that an air rifle is a often overlooked addition to your firearm collection (or words to that effect). How ever he worded...

    When freedom went down in America

    I've been thinking about this a lot lately, just thinking. Real freedom in America took a big nose dive after Roosevelt decided that the Federal government could do whatever it wanted to as long as a majority of folks supported it (under depression conditions, loss of liberty was an easy sell to...

    Anyone else see NG show on machine gun?

    I just caught the end, where they introduced the tommy gun (of course only gangsters used them). Apparently they traced the machine gun from Gatlings introduction, to the modern electric Gatling guns used on the A6 gunships. I did not know that Gatling added an electric motor to his way back...

    US anodizing?

    I am putting together an Vietnam era AR15. Got the M16A1 upper from CDNN, got a partial fence lower from Tactics LLC. Great, problem is, nobody (that I know of) sells the correct M16A1 gray lower parts, so I need to have the lower parts (as well as the charging handle) re-anodized, or coated to...

    Did A-MERC change their name?

    I am working up a couple hundred .45 ACP over the weekend. Everything is going along fine, then I hit a tough to seat primer (crunch). Primer is crunched up, so I toss it out (that happens every now and then--sometimes it is tumble media that dropped into the seating mechanism--Dillion 550). I...

    Good ear plugs

    Okay, I have a couple of sets of ear plugs that I use when shooting pistols, and they work just fine. However, when I shoot rifles (mostly .30-'06 and .308) I find that I need more protection, and use a pair of headphone muffs. They work just fine, except that I can not get a decent sight...

    Brass, you want brass, Okay

    http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=1095842&tid=GLSPPR4820 Note, I have been told that you CANNOT use this to re-load (otherwise a great big group buy), as it can only be purchased for scrap.

    New study coming, and it isn't good

    http://healthorbit.ca/NewsDetail.asp?opt=1&nltid=239080107 Without actually reading the study, the one thing I note is that they do not make a distinction between ownership and LEGAL ownership. Either way, this is not good.

    AR 15 folks

    Okay, I am finally moving into the EBR area (in a quest to get examples of American Military arms of the 20th century). I have a Colt AR15 SP-1/M16 A-1 upper with teardrop forward assist (small hole), and am in search of a suitable ("correctish") lower. Of course, the real lower was an auto...

    Has anyone purchased bullets from here

    http://www.hi-techammo.com/ M2 Ball bullets 3,000 for $145. Seems un-real (same deal for .308 BT). I am not a benchreseter, just an off-hand shooter, so I do not need match grade bullets, but the price of these has me a bit leerly.
