    What is this pin/component called?

    I have a rattle in my Keltec P11. I searched online but all related topics are about magazine rattle which I don't have. I have found the component that is rattling but I don't know what it's called to research further about it. What is this pin called? I have 2 photos, in the second one you...

    Bolt Release AR10 vs AR15

    Is this button interchangeable on the two platforms? I have a DPMS LR308 and the bolt release button is hard to press due to the fatter upper receiver. I want to get a bigger one but when I searched for ones specific to the 308 all I saw were the ones that went through the trigger guard, which I...

    Lonewolf sit and climb stand

    I know they're nice stands and I found an old model on Craigslist but it ddoesn't look like the new ones so I was wondering if anyone could confirm that it looks right before I drive an hour to get it. Thanks. Here are links to the pictures...

    M1 Garand front sight loose?

    I just got my Kensight Tritium M1 Garand sight and upon installation I noticed that it is too loose to stay on the gas cylinder. I've tightened the allen screw in the sight as tight as it will go, but I still do not see how this secures the front sight? My old screw was completely out of the...

    Deer only coming out at night?

    I just bought an auto feeder to help with this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has other suggestions. I've attached an overhead photo of my spot and here's a quick explanation : The square is where I've successfully shot several deer last season, but it has since been altered and they...

    M1 Garand tritium sight for hunting season

    Just ordered a Trijicon green tritium night sight for my M1 Garand in hopes of making it my primary deer rifle this season. Anyone have experience shooting through a ghost ring at night with one of these? Not really night, but 30 mins after sunset. I can't see at sunset with the stock irons.

    Semi-Auto 20GA?

    I'm looking for a new slug gun, and I think I've narrowed it down a 20GA semi-auto. I would really like to have a rifled barrel as well. I haven't shopped for a 20GA in over 20 years so any help would be much appreciated. I heard about the Remington Versa Max but several people tend to think...

    Pre-season Photo of encouragement

    I thought my spot was going to suffer this season because of development happening in the area. I'm still not sure how many will be hanging around by the time rifle season opens, but here is a picture I got off my trail cam that made me really happy. Deer typically don't come out until after...

    300 Weatherby for small black bear?

    I live in NC and the county directly West of me has opened up bear season this year. I've never gone bear hunting and a friend told me he wouldn't take anything smaller than a 375 but I was curious if anyone has hunted smaller black bears (they don't get very big in NC) with a 300 Magnum, or...

    Does anyone shoot 30-03?

    I noticed that my Lyman loading guide mentions this parent to the 30-06 but doesn't include any load data or dimensions of the cartridge. Does anyone still use this cartridge or has it been lost in history? I don't think I'll ever have a rifle that shoots it, but I would like to know a little...

    Cleaning dies?

    How do you guys clean your dies? I've noticed that my depriming dies have become pretty dirty. I've bought a universal depriming die now to keep my resizing dies from continuing to get so dirty, but I'd like to clean them up now that I have an alternative.

    What's the next step? Turret vs Progressive

    I'm feeling comfortable with my single stage and I'd like to increase my output for certain calibers like .223 and various pistol cartridges. I've read about turrets and progressive presses but to be 100%, I'm not sure I fully understand the difference between the two. I load for several...

    Illuminated front sight post for M1?

    I see that Trijicon makes an illuminated front sight for the M1 but it doesn't utilize an illuminated ghost ring. I've never used an illuminated sight so I'm not sure if this matters, but I am wanting to use the sight at night for coyote hunting so I'd need it to work in very low light...

    Zeroing scope at 9x or 3x - any difference?

    I was just curious, does it matter where you had your magnification while zeroing? I figured since the cross hair is in the center that it wouldn't matter one way or another, but I wanted to make sure this assumption is correct.

    Annealing new cases?

    Some of you guys may remember I was having trouble with some Remington brass for my 300 Weatherby. I bought 25 pieces of Norma brass and I'm just curious if it would help case life to anneal them now or whether that is unnecessary.

    Good 30-06 bolt for around $350

    I'm not looking to spend a fortune, I'd probably even take a used rifle. I've read lots of reviews but I'd like to get some first hand opinions. I really like my Vanguard in 300 Weatherby Magnum but it's honestly more than I need for my typical deer season. I was thinking about getting a used...

    Cracked shoulders on 300 Weatherby

    I noticed that all 6 cases that I fired today cracked at the shoulder. I had fired the factory load, neck sized only and fired again, then they needed a FL sizing so I did that and when they were fired again the necks cracked. I loaded with 82gr of IMR7828 and used a 180gr SBT with large rifle...

    Bulk 180gr soft point?

    I've been looking around on the Internet for a bulk amount of 180gr (30 cal) bullets but the most I find at a time are 100rd boxes. Is this normal or are there some distributors that sell hunting bullets in bulk? Just trying to save a few pennies on each one if I can because I know I'll need a...

    Adjusting FL die for minimal brass movement

    I've read about people adjusting their FL die to only set the shoulder back a small amount which they claim leads to longer case life. How exactly do I go about setting these adjustments? Does turning the knob at the top clockwise increase or decrease the amount the shoulder is set back, or...

    Hazard Fee when shipping powder?

    I bought a fairly large amount of powder from PowderValley and I noticed they charged me a hazard shipping fee, it was like $25 or something. I went to buy a single 1lb bottle of some new powder to try it out and saw I had to pay the same $25 fee, essentially doubling the price of my powder. Is...
