I think I've had about enough trying to work things out with my Hornady/9mm combo. I've received 2 ejector wires and an entire set of new pawls from Hornady due to my "incident". I've gone over and over and over and over again on the instructions on setting up the pawls. They do OK indexing...

OK, OK. I know I'm being a bit of a snob here. But I cannot keep it bottled up any longer. Why in the world has the gun owning community become desensitized with the term "assault rifle"? From what I understand, most normally accessible rifles such as the AK-47 and AR-15 are technically NOT an...

My employer is sending me to Florida for a couple of weeks at the end of January. I'd like to know if there's any updated laws in place about a non-resident getting a CCW for Florida. I'm currently an Iowa resident, but due to our anti-gun sherrif I currently do not have my permit. From what I...

On a loosely related thread I started below, I talked about overcamming. Another problem I came up with may be due to overcrimping. During post inspection, I found that some of the bullets would fall into the case. I used a bullet puller and inspected the bullet. Found that the lower portion...

I've been on the hunt to buy a Mosin Nagant 91/30 or maybe an old handgun in the best condition under $150. AIM Surplus and a couple others are in consideration, but still wanted to keep searching for other dealers just in case of a deal. Has anyone had any experience dealing with MCS...

I've done some searching on the issue of "camming over" your press. I have the Hornady Lock 'N' Load AP. I also bought the New Dimension Custon Grade Dies and the Taper Crimp Die. In the instructions, they specifically state to raise the ram to its highest position without camming over and...

I just finished reading an article in American Rifleman by Bryce M. Towsley. It was about the Savage Model 110 turning 50. It was a pretty good read. During the article, he talked about going through Savage's production line building his own Model 14 Classic (Man, I bet that was...

I have a SureFire E2D Defender and a Wine Light II (basically a 6P). What I'm trying to do is reconfigure the flashlights to use rechargeable batteries, namely RCR123A. I see two different ratings on All-Battery's site. One charger/battery combo provides 900mAh 3.2 peak volts that drops back...

I happened to "stumble" over an ad about Insights flashlights in one of my gun mags. Do they stack up to the competition? Are they as or nearly as good as Surefire, Streamlight, Leupold, Fenix, etc? The H2X has caught my eye because it includes battery and charger.

What are your thoughts on the PT 845? It appears to be refined from the 24/7-OSS family with some differences in the firing mechanisms. Does anybody have some range time or own one of these?

I have a Remington Speedmaster Model 241 .22 rifle I inherited from my father a few years ago. I got a wild hair recently and thought I'd clean the loading tube. So, me and my infinite wisdom decided to shove a cleaning patch down the tube. Unfortunately, it's stuck. I've tried everything...

I've tried a brief search on optimal barrel length on a rifle generally speaking and it got me to thinking: Understanding in general terms, longer barrels provide greater velocities and usually a more precise shot. But, where is the point of diminishing return? At what point does length become...

I'm in the middle of cleaning my H&K P30 and, per the book, it doesn't appear to be necessary to remove the firing pin or the ejector. I thought removal of these is commonplace in order to assure correct and safe operation. The habit comes from doing this with my 1911. Am I worrying too much...

Alright, I think we've had enough of the garbage brought on about Palin. It's time to discuss if Biden has what it takes to be VP. I'd like parameters of discussion to include: 1. FACTS on his voting record 2. FACTS on his executive experience, IF any available 3. Stances he has taken on...

My wife bought the Radians Pro-Amp electronic ear muffs recently from Dick's Sporting Goods for herself. I have the Peltor Tactical 6S which, for the money, seem to work fine. Not the highest quality, but they do the job. My question is before we open the package, are these a good...

OK, so we have quite a lengthy discussion of the WORST presidents of our country in another thread. How about stating your opinion of who you think has been or is our best president? I didn't place a poll simply because I'm not a fan of polls. To me, it bears no significant value. A simple...

I'm filling out my FFL C&R license (that I promptly received from BATFE, surprisingly) and I have a couple of questions: 1. For item 15, it's the signature block certifying that your info is correct, etc. Next to your signature they have a block that's labeled "Title". What do they want filled...

I read through my email from the NRA-ILA about carrying firearms in your own vehicle recently. I understand some big companies such as Weyerhauser and Disney are quite anti-gun. However, I didn't realise the Chamber of Commerce was knee deep in it also. I just thought they were basically a...

I just caught portions of his interview on Fox a few minutes ago on his view on allowing students on campus to carry concealed firearms. The following is an overview of what I caught and to the best of my memory of what he said. These statements are not quoted. As most know from Heller vs...

I bought a GAMO Viper today chambered for .177 pellets. It has a mil-dot illuminated recticle scope and claims to have the capabilities to shoot 1000-1200 fps. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=444236 When I got home, I set up shop and made the attempt to sight it in. I used...
