I just got a single stage Lee press and a set of carbide dies for 45 ACP and I'm totally mystified. What locks the big nut on the dies? I used to have RCBS dies and there was an Allen jam nut to lock the die depth. These have a rubber O-ring. Is that all there is to lock the depth of each die...

Watching Forensic Files on Netflix last night. I have...and need... closed caption and I kinda read it alongside watching the program. Suddenly I see...AND HEAR.... them mention finding a "Six hour pistol." :confused: Then they SHOWED the gun. Ahhhh.... A SIG-Sauer. :D

I have had for sale a gun I lusted for for many years. (M25 S&W target revolver.) I do NOT want to ...sell... this gun as it is so ungodly accurate. The ONLY reason I ...have/had... it for sale is because ..even with muffs and plugs, my ears are SO bad that it affects them. Soooooo I got...

I'd guess they'd have to be pretty slim. Googling finds some but the foam plugs have a higher NRR. Thanks. :)

When they shot muzzle loaders for serious competition, most used false muzzles for loading. I read that the false muzzle had to be matched to the rifling of the gun. Did they saw off a piece of barrel? Doubt it. :confused: Or did they fit the false muzzle to an unbored barrel and...

I am still having a miserable time with a seemingly insoluble hearing problem. I've gone to the 34 NRR passive Decibel Defense muffs...and... the ACTIVE Peltors that are around 31 NRR. Along WITH....both... the audiologist custom molded plugs or the Flents earplugs and various spin em and...

My CZ 455 is leaving rifling engraving on CCI SV 22 LR bullets. I've always thought this was good for accuracy to start the bullet into the barrel lands. Now I'm wondering if this takes any special cleaning after use. :confused: I usually let 22s take a bullet polish and don't clean. But in...

Yeah, yeah, it's me again and I'm still on the hunt for the BEST ear protection I can get. VERY gunfire damaged ears! So.... I'm looking at the Walker Silencer ear BUDS! Electronic PLUGS! PLUS..... I'm even thinking of combining them WITH muffs. I'm damn serious as all evidence points to to...

This is frustrating stuff. I have severe shooting induced hearing loss. I've posted this before if you've noticed. I just bought a CZ 455 Ultra Lux .22 rifle to "try" to get the sound level of 22LR SV down to a manageable level with the 28"barrel. I use audiologist custom molded earplugs...

Knowing that the best time to ask about a gun is ..AFTER.. you've plunked down your money and it's in the waiting period...here goes. :D Now first off, I am buying it for my EARS! I have VERY damaged hearing from an unfortunate range session and shooting MAY be on my list of no-no's. But I...

But, since we on the forum should be used to "crazy" gun stuff, I'm gonna post it. As any of you regular readers know, I have been TRYING to solve an ear protection dilemma ever since I ..LOST.. a bunch of hearing from a ported rifle being fired (WITHOUT THE PROVIDED PIPES) at the range. Okay...

Which provides the most sound protection with electronic muffs? Having them on or off or does it make no difference? :confused:

https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2016/7/27/first-look-walker-s-game-ear-razor-xv/ I'm curious if these need muffs along with them. I have VERY bad hearing loss and just noticed these being advertised. :confused:

I'm looking for some GOOD ear PLUGS. I have double hearing aids required after some guys shot some ported rifles and did not USE the pipes PROVIDED by the range. Nuffa that. Okay.... I got the hearing aids and had custom molded plugs made by the audiologist. But.... I still get noise ringing...

I've had this rifle since I was nine. (1949) It was with me through rabbits, birds, cans, and targets. (never bottles though ;)) This is a pic. It is near mint. I took immaculate care of it and even at one time VARNISHED ..ugh... the stock. Then I corrected that with a good LinSpeed...

I keep reading about the new EZ takedown hinge barrel pistol and they call it a Mk4. I have an earlier one that is a Mk4 Well, it's a Mk4B, but shoot I thought it was a MkIII all the time. But the box says ....4 :confused::confused: upside down of course..... :o

Backstory: I went to the range last summer. Guy next to me was firing a ported rifle of SOME horrendously loud caliber. I was wearing Peltor active muffs NRR22 but no plugs under them because I had shot with the Peltors for years with NO problems. THAT NIGHT... (This is weird) 10 HOURS...

I've had this rifle since 1949. Even berore serial numbers. Used it a LOT. Also kept it clean. It has had a SPORADIC feed/jam problem for a while. Now I seldom shoot it because my other 22s are reliable. But.... I do like to take it out for nostalgia shoots. SOMETIMES it will work...

I know the geometry of the J-frame won't be as easy to make nice as the K-frame, but which spring kit do you think would do the best job possible? The single action is SUPERB (and the reason I bought the gun) Accuracy....ditto. Amazing! However, the DA is fairly hard and I'd like to tune...

I have the BHP but wonder if any conversion could cock what seems to be a VERY stiff mainspring. :confused:
