    Progress in fight against state level AWB?

    I can't find much on the subject. I don't think the time will ever be better to get a state-level AWB case to SCOTUS given the makeup of the court right now. It's tough living in a blue state like Washington, when they push assault weapons bans and magazine capacity limits constantly. Anyone...

    Starline 223 brass difficult to resize

    Anyone else noticed this? I got my press set up to full length resize Winchester 223 brass. Just followed the usual full length sizer setup and the brass comes out just right with headspace back to spec. Throw a Starline case in there and no dice, headspace still way to high and won't chamber...

    Full size single stack 9mm

    I really want a single stack 9mm, as skinny as possible and light weight but NOT compact. At least 4" barrel. Is there such a thing? Search just turns up full size double stack or subcompact single stack.

    Accuracy Evaluation

    Cross posted at a couple forums. I'm trying to change the discussion on this topic to be more reasonable than the standard methods that I see at the range and on forums at the moment. Accuracy evaluation through testing with 5-shot groups is dubious at best. I attempt to start to address that...

    Rifle Chamber Jargon Question

    Does anyone use a name for the section of the rifle chamber between the end of the neck and the start of the freebore? I've heard *step*, *forcing cone*, and nothing else. Neither seems right, especially forcing cone... what does that little shoulder force? Every other part of the chamber has...

    what the heck is this gun?

    Grainy photo of an AR-15 looking thing, but definitely not an AR. Can anyone determine what it is? https://www.kingstonpolice.ca/news-events/news-releases/project-yuma-nets-drugs-cash-cars-and-guns/?utm_content=buffer2c172&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

    Ballistic Coefficient Calculator

    I originally posted this in the reloading section but got no feedback or interest there, too many pistol shooters. This is a better sub-forum for my post. I created a Universal Windows App that takes bullet caliber and mass, muzzle velocity, environmental data, scope height, and drop data...

    New Ballistic Coefficient App

    I created a Universal Windows App that will work on any Windows 10 device, including desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone. I've put it out for free for the first month so I can get some feedback. It's an early Beta version so it's pretty plain and may have some bugs, but I want to see if it's...

    Interesting AR-308 Failure

    Had a 308 AR fail the other day and I am trying to understand what happened. Here's what I know: 1. barrel rotated 20 to 30 degrees in the receiver, index pin snapped at some point allowing the rotation. Barrel nut was torqued to approx 50 ft-lb. 2. Carrier moved back with bolt about half...

    Does anyone know if a manually operated AR-15 platform rifle is legal in NY State now that the new ban is law?

    ATF SBR Measurement Precision

    Surfing the web and had a thought after reading ATF documentation on their measurement procedure for the determination of the classification of a rifle as an NFA SBR or not... To what precision does the ATF make this measurement? Their docs say: The text in red has me concerned. Suppose I...

    Jae 700

    Anyone got a JAE 700? Not a lot of info out there. The last few threads featureing the JAE 700 stock on THR were back in 2008. Here's what I'm talking about for those who don't know:

    Custom Bolt Action Receiver Feedback

    I'm looking into a custom bolt gun and I am trying to get as much feedback as possible on the following actions: McMillan G30 with PF or CRF, Borden Alpine, Surgeon, Shilen DGR. I'm going to be building a tactical/target gun in .260 Rem. These actions all look outstanding, but I'm trying to...

    CCW in Post Office for FFL holder?

    Can an FFL holder carry in the PO? I've found a lot of threads about CCW in the post office online and at THR, and a lot of threads about how anyone can ship a long gun via USPS but only an FFL can send a pistol that way. But can an FFL holder CCW at the post office? I can't find an answer...

    What Caused My Squib?

    Had my first ever squib today and I want to figure out what was the cause. I loaded up 12 grains of H322 with a 160 grain Nosler Accubond for 6.8 SPC. My barrel won't stabilize the bullet with this load and it gives a big fat key-hole. I don't care about this. I shot some other similar loads...

    EMP Compatible Parts

    I've been digging around on the forum and elsewhere and cannot find an answer to this question: are any standard 1911 parts compatible with the Springfield EMP? I'd like to replace the hammer, sear, trigger, and disconnector with better parts, but don't know if they are compatible.

    NFA Dealer In Washington State - Silencers

    I am trying to buy a sound suppressor here in Washington State, but I can't find a reasonable dealer to do the transfer. I tried Wade's in Bellevue, but they tried to gouge me on the price. I found a guy way out in Spokane, but that's all the way on the other side of the state. Anyone know of...

    Mainspring Housing Texture

    I have a TRP that needs a new mainspring housing. My current one is an Ed Brown with a smooth finish. I bought it a while back, when funds were tight, and went as cheap as I could go. Now, years later, I've given up on it because it's too slippery in my hand. I really need a textured MSH...

    AR15 Bolt Dimensioned Drawings Needed

    Anyone have dimensioned drawings for AR15 bolts? Hopefully original mfg drawings indicating tolerances etc. :) Also would like for 6.8 spc if anyone has those. Far as I can tell they are identical except for the diameter of the bolt face.

    Geissele Match Trigger

    Just got a new Geissele match trigger. Installed it. Tried the first stage, yep, there it is. Then I just about passed out when I got to the second stage. I didn't know a trigger could be this good. Installation was a snap too. Just thought I'd share. :):)
