Every time I clean and assemble my Kel Tec pt11, I get frustrated putting the slide springs back in since there are two of them inside of each other trying to hold them back and inserting them into the small opening at an angle. I always get it done, often by putting in the springs first and...

Is there a best way to store ammo and reloading supplies in the house. Currently I have around lots of loaded ammo, primers and gun powder. The powder is mostly in the master bedroom closet with some stored in "my" room. The loaded ammo & primers are in the closet of "my" room. Question...

Ok, mostly handgunner and shot gunner here, and reloader for both. Only rifle I own is a scoped 10/22 that I mostly shoot at 100yds. I think I'm ready for a center fire rifle. It will be used 100%, as far as I can see, for pure plinking at 100 and maybe 200 yards (limit of my range), with no...

I feel the same way...........................ck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOvp69lnZbA

Walmart stores in Alabama have reported they've sold out of ammunition. A buyer was overheard to say " the damn Russians may have taken over Georgia but it sure as hell ain't gonna happen in Alabama ...............ck

Anyone know of gunshops with huge selection and inventory or shops that are truly unique, worthy of a visit. In case others get close to the area it could mean a great little side trip. You got one, name it and where. I was watching the movie "failure to launch" the other day in which there...

but everytime I shoot my friends S&W 41, I get the cravings to buy one. I have a Ruger Mark 111, which is a nice shooter, but that SW is so sweet, but geez, that much for a .22 is hard to bite:p. It's on my to buy list, along with several others, but just can't seem to pull the plug on this...

I haven't bought any bullets lately ( I hoarded up a year or so ago) and went in to the local reloading supply store today and found that 1,000 .45ACP 200 gr RN were $78. Just a year or so ago, would have been about $42 or so. So, what's everyone else paying for lead these...

If lead is going down so much, how come my lead bullets cost so much more than they did a year ago?......................ck

How many maintain a slush fund to buy your toys, be they guns or whatever? I give myself an allowance each month for general spending and anything left over goes into my fund and from time to time I slip in other funds, bonus etc.. I keep about 2 grand in cash stored in my gun safe for gun...

Got your attention. I broke my second index ring last week, had an extra on hand, but what a pain to replace. Seems to be there has to be a better way than plastic. Dillon promptly sent me a new one, and even a little device to set the alignment correctly. God, I hate all the little parts...

I recently loaded some 125 gr. LRN over a load of Clays between 2.8 to 3.3grs. They scatter pretty bad out of my CZ75. My rounds loaded with 231 shoot somewhat accurate,, not excelent, but good. Also loaded from top to bottom with Clays, but they all seemed about the same. Also do you find...

Ok, I know CZ has a few that are double action first shot, then single afterward, who else? For CCW, compact size, dependable, accurate (to a point). I've been carrying a Keltec11 but not all that happy with it, especially accuracy, in addition, it is all DA. 9mm or 40 would be top...

the first few rounds are fired. Maybe it's just me, but the first few rounds that I fire out of every handgun that I own aren't very accurate. Then they seem to fall in and group well to point of aim. Is a warmed up barrel more accurate?..........................ck

Some days are great, some, like today, not so good..........:eek: But as a prevue to my reloading story, my fridge's ice dispenser turned itself on the night before and emptied the entire ice bucket onto the kitchen floor and continued to run and burnt out the motor nearly catching on fire. My...

I wish to add a full size 1911 9mm to my collection of firearms and would like a few opinions. So far, I see them by Kimber, Springfield, and STI (two tone). Strong preference to stainless. The two tone by STI puts them a slight disadvantage, and adding a springfield that looks just like the...

of plastic, small pieces, etc. etc. It is true, the weakest link in any machine will shut one down for a penny part. There has got to be a better way to build one of these things. Reloading today and all of a sudden it would not advance more than about 1/2 the way up......so I stop look...

and reloading supplies. Ok., I'm a reloader but still.:mad: I recently bought 10,000 primers and when putting them into my storage cabinet, I noticed that they were a full $6 higher than a box bought a year or so ago. Resupplying my bullets showed a nifty increase also over the last year or...

Don't see a lot of .22's in the growing picture thread, so how about one just devoted to the "mighty" .22 pistols. Heck, throw in a rifle if you wish, gotta be lots of 10/22's all spiced up. I'll start with my only two remaining .22 pistols......................ck Ruger Mark 111 with red...

I've traded, bought, and "acquired" my only three .45's at this time. Not to say, the door is not open to more, which is always is, but I'm happy with these. I only want to do some upgrading here and there (not the Colt of course), front strap checkering, new grips etc. etc..............ck...
