I just got a new AR upper in 7.62x39 and am somewhat stumped about an issue. I expected some problems but nothing on this level. I finally got it to fire with an enhanced firing pin then found the gun to be locked up after every shot. It seems as though there is absolutely no gas to the BCG. I...

So I recently got in some of the RMR 124gr hollowpoints and wanted to work up some loads that could be used as defense rounds if need be. RMR’s website suggests1100fps for reliable expansion so this was my goal. I ended up with a reliable and accurate load that worked well in all of my 9’s. Then...

I know there are several members here who used to frequent MC. The site got hijacked and has been down for a while. Just wanted to spread the word that the gang is gathering at Mausercentral.net in case someone here is still looking.

Please forgive my ignorance on this matter. I have been loading rifle and pistol stuff for over 10 years now but this is my first attempt at reloading shotshells and it seems I picked an odd area to begin. The data for buckshot is very scarce. I'm pretty resourceful read cheap and I have a few...

I am trying to get started loading my own #4 buckshot and have a good supply of the new Winchester AA HS hulls. I've read some things about some wads not fitting right in these hulls so wanted to check if anyone had tried these loads from Hodgdon... Lead Buckshot 12 27-#4 LEAD BUCKSHOT...

As most of you know we are overrun with hogs here in Texas. Our place is no different and I spend many hours taking out as many as possible. I am always trying to find better tactics and better gear to bag as many as possible. I know trapping may be more effective but its not nearly as fun. I...

Looking at a 586 no dash and it has Black Pachmayr grips with the S&W logo. Did any of these guns come like this or were they all wood gripped?

I just bought an old RCBS Jr3 single stage press and the priming arm only came with the large primer set up. I see that RCBS has a universal priming arm out that would fit this press but I don't want to spend $18 plus $10 shipping when all I need is the seater pin,cup, and spring. I also found...

Looking at a possible trade for a 586 with 4" barrel. Guy also has a brand new blued 6" barrel to go with it. What might the value be for the extra barrel. This will be a close trade and I'm not interested in getting burned. I'm thinking I'll sell the barrel to try and come out. Thanks in advance!

Well, fishing is kinda fish hunting and I'll be using a Sig P220 on anything over 50 lbs. Hopefully thats enough so the mods don't wax my thread before I get some good information. Anyway...I'm heading down to Mustang Island in the next week or two and have never been before. I want to do some...

I read an article the other day about some research over poisoning hogs. I read the methods and chemicals used and even though the research is showing promise and they claim that "collateral damage" would be minimal, it just doesn't sit well with me. We have had quite a lot of damage on our...

So I've got a bunch of .458 405 grain jacketed soft point bullets for my 45-70 and have not been impressed with terminal ballistics. They tend to perform like ye ole' energizer bunny and keep going and going. The 300 grain hollow points I've loaded were devastating on hogs so I started...

I am in the process of building another rifle in 7x57 and have read online that Speer has seperate load data for modern actions as opposed to the older '93's and such. My new rifle will be of modern design and I was wondering which Speer manual I need to get for this data. Anyone having quick...

I just got one of the 7600 police trade ins from J&G Sales and the gun will not feed at all. I'm fairly sure that the magazine is the culprit and think it is possibly an aftermarket mag. Sooooo..... Anybody here got a 7600 with a factory mag? I need to know what markings if any are on the mag...

I bought one of these in .260 a year or so ago and was very pleased with the way it handled. It had one nagging issue from the start though. Occasionally it would jam up when cycling the bolt but I couldn't pin point the problem. I slicked up the rails a little and the problem seemed to go...

I am looking at building another rifle and want a cartridge that I can use for pretty much everything. I built my last one in 7X57 on a Spanish Mauser and have been pleased with the round but have kept loads low because of the action used. After doing some research I've found that SAAMI keeps...

I bought a nice FN Mauser sporter by Firearms International and the previous owner had removed the open sights and lost them. I'm trying to find some replacements but can't find a front ramp that seems like it will fit. It used a single screw and the barrel diameter is only .575 at the screw...

I just bought a rifle that came with a one piece Redfield base (windage adjustable rear/turn in front. I need some rings and there are no Redfields available locally. Will leupold rings work with this base or does each manufacturer have there own design? Thanks in advance!!!

So I was shooting this new 642 and ended up with a bullet stuck in the barrel but I'm a little unsure of the cause. Here's the story. I had some handloads that I had loaded about 5 years ago. My father had loaded the cases once before and had written his load on the box. 125 grain bullet over...

I'm going to look at a 642 in the morning for a fair price. The problem is that I think it's a lock model and the owner has no key. Can I get these easily from Smith and Wesson and how much are they. Would definately spoil the deal if I had to send in the gun and pay $100. Thanks in advance.
