    10MM Ammo

    I've wanted a 10MM for years. So far, the only one I could afford would be a Tanfoglio / EAA Witness, Match type preferably. So that has me wondering. Where do you get your 10MM Ammo?

    Informants allege proposed Blackwater weapons dump?

    I didn't see this one posted, hope it's alright I did. It makes me wonder what type of AK's were supposedly being "packaged", and what about that pistol? Firearms aside and based on what is stated in the article... I have a gut feeling someone got pinched and started telling tales about who...

    Lens cover size confusion

    Hello, I want to place a pair of Butler Creek flip open covers on my scope (which is on it's way). Scope in question is a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 (325154T). Now on one hand, I read about a guy that stated he has an #11 cover for the eye and a #33 for the objective. But that person did...

    Too much magnification?

    In recent posts it was stated I purchased a Remington 700 SPS Varmit (.223) that was sold at Dicks Sporting Goods as a package, meaning it came with a scope. I'm not all that crazy about said scope. So, I embarked on a search for an affordable piece of glass. Initially, I was looking at some...

    Hi there, I recently purchased a Remington 700 SPS Varmit rifle (.223 Remington). It was picked up at Dick's S.G. and came as a rifle and scope package. Before I bought the rifle, I was already thinking about swapping out the optics, rings, and base. Initially, I was thinking about a...

    Another Universal M1 Carbine question....

    There's a Universal M1 Carbine in my family, how can one find it's "born on date"? My father told me when he used to fire it back in the 70's it was fine, no malfunctions. It was guesstimated that 700 to 800 rounds have been fired so far. I borrowed it once, took it to the range and was...

    5.56/.223 boxes sometimes mismarked or misleading?

    The big thread on 5.56/.223 reminded me about this. I have one rifle (AR Carbine) that has a 5.56 chamber, so I'm good to go with 5.56/.223 Remington. Ok, sounds good. Then, I recently purchased a Remington 700 SPS Varmit that states on the barrel ".223 Remington". Ok, fantastic. I'm sticking...

    Difference between these dies?

    Just so I'm not going crazy or missing something... What's the difference between Lee's "Deluxe Rifle Die Set" and the "PaceSetter Die set". This would be for .223 Remington, finished rounds would be tailored/used in a bolt action (varmit type) and an AR pattern rifle. Thanks! :)

    Hi there :) I am once again looking at loading my own. Besides buying components online and paying the hazmat fee, would anyone know any suppliers located in the central Florida area? I can't seem to find powder, primers, bullets and brass. But I'm okay on brass for the most part. Thanks!

    UPS three day air rates

    I'm considering a long gun purchase through GalleryofGuns.com/Davidson's. On average, how much should I expect to pay for the three shipping that would be handled by UPS? It's an inexpensive rifle, and I can't seem to find it locally. :(
