I have a 1945 SA Garand from the CMP. Typically it feeds/fires my reloads just fine, but I had a rather disturbing jam the other day. In a nutshell the round jammed with a severe pinch halfway down the case. It was bent at about a 15 degree angle. Last year I had a similar stoppage but the...

My gun was grouping left, verified off a bench. The rear sight was lightly staked from the factory with the assumption it shot POI at that position. It was off about 3" at 30'. I shoved it over to the right about 1.5mm and now get dead-on shots. Unfortunately being the Virgo I am, this...

Guess I never really asked. Of all companies to concentrate on ergonomics, why a manufacturer from the Czech Republic? What posessed them to focus so hard on a fairly obscure design feature?

Every CZ I've bought the past ten years has been delivered with mags that just don't work. The springs are like wet noodles. People say, "Mec Gar makes the factory mags" which I highly doubt as the springs are physically different in appearance. I made up a bunch of LRN for my P01. They...

My new P01 has a cutout near the chamber face that my 75 didn't. It's directly opposite the extractor. Normal?

I've been using the 358-125-rf for the 75 but my new P01 doesn't like it one bit. What are you guys using that won't keyhole?

Had a 75bd for years, finally decided on the P01 as it's sucessor. Using it in a match tomorrow but I'm already impressed. This thing was built with speed in mind. That beveled magwell makes the gun practically reload itself. First thing I did was install a 16# hammer spring and next will...

Anyone use theirs in matches? I'll be getting one soon, what did you change on it to be more competition friendly? I'm talking about the smaller P01, not the SP01 in case there is any confusion.

I was reloading for my Garand tonight and something crossed my Virgo mind. When soldiers in WW2 and Korea had to resupply, did ammo come loose or already in enbloc clips? Did the troops ever have to reload the clips?

I currently load for my 75bd, lee 358-125-rf mold. If I don't FCD these guys they simply won't chamber. Plus they have to be loaded at 1.01oal to chamber. Just curious, is the P01 as finicky with lead reloads? What did yours slug at?

Simply put, can someone compare the two in size? I really don't want to sell my 75bd if at all possible, so thinking about my K9 instead. If the P01 is close i'd rather just go that route. BTW I know the CZ is thicker. ;)

It's my friend's fault. He brought a sweet P-01 to the range today and I shot it better than anything else I currently have. I don't have the financial means to just buy a gun outright, another has to be sold first. Layaway doesn't count. My 97b stays, period. That leaves my 75bd and Kahr...

As an owner of a Kahr K9, the commercial for this show confuses me. It looks like a K9 pictured, but the slide release pin is different.:confused:

Maybe I'm posting out of trepidation, but want to get some opinions. I bought a set of match grips for my CZ, at a heavily discounted price. They fit perfectly and feel outstanding, but the grip extends below the basepad of the magazine. It has a rather large flare at the bottom. To the...

Suggestions please. Time I finally get one.

Mods, please move this as necessary. In a nutshell, our neighbor had a relative move in with a less than stellar background. This individual immediately started causing problems, and decided to make up things about me and my long time girlfriend, one being related to my firearm ownership. In...

My LGS only has 100ct bags of 357 125gr. Can they safely be used in a 9mm? I use 358 LRN but I know those are much softer. My bore slugs at 356.

Reading a few posts on the subject has me thinking my AR would be a good HD gun. So those 'in the know', what condition works best for the platform... 1). Mag inserted, empty chamber, bolt closed 2). Chambered, safety on 3). Empty chamber, bolt open 4). Other?

Thousands of rounds and this is the first time I've experienced such a thing. Remington Golden Bullet bulk pack, plinking with my Henry lever action 22lr. A weird FUPP sound and some powder got blown onto my hand. The case head had a clean peel about 3/4 the way around. The RO said he's seen...

I get zero leading with the 230gr shot through my CZ. I recently switched to a 160gr and now experience more leading than I'm comfortable with, probably due to the higher velocities. I drop my 9mm 124's, should the 160's be the same?
