I was given a Stevens 320 barrel in a bunch of stuff left over after a friend passed away. Anyway I didn't think I'd do anything with it but it looked like a dead ringer for the barrel on my Winchester 1300 Defender but with the barrel lug further back. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to see...

I hope you guys find this as humorous as I do... https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-angryjoe-14-ar-14-stripped-lower-receiver-preorder-item-8-10-weeks-delivery.html Tony

Do you guys think this round is going to be around awhile or is it already headed for obsolesce? I don't have any rifles in the magnum category and I'm thinking about getting a .338 but I don't want to deal with belted cases. Tony

I need to vent a bit after completing a bear of a cleaning project... A friend of the family gave my twin grandsons each a Marlin 99 .22 semiauto rifles. Both of the rifles were so crudded up that neither of them would function when we went out to shoot them. I had other rifles for the boys...

I fixed this rifle up for my grandson and now there's a bit of a problem. I bought a used peep sight for it and it fits but sits in rather close. When we got out to shoot it, it was shooting way to the right. I adjusted the sight all the way over but it's still shooting a little to the right...

I'm joking a bit. I found one odd case in my stash of .223 brass. The head stamp reads WIN NT 5.56mm... Anybody seen this head stamp before? Tony

Sometimes it takes me a long while to get around to using some of the reloading supplies I buy. In this case it's a box of 250 pieces of General Dynamics .223 cases. I bought them with the intent to load them for my varmint rifle but I traded it off. So I figured I'd save these for my .223...

Awhile back a friend of the family gave my twin grandsons each a .22 Western revolver. These seem to be about half size knock offs of the Colt Peacemaker. Anyway the last time I took the boys shooting I found that one of them had problems. I called and asked him if he knew about this and he...

Please forgive all my dumb beginner questions... Anyway awhile back someone here mentioned that a heavier buffer weight would slow case ejection so the spent cases do fly into the next county. I've been looking at different buffers and some run up to around 50 bucks but don't weigh any more...

I'm thinking about loading up some .223 rounds in anticipation of finishing up my AR15 project. However none of the .224 bullets I have on hand have a cannelure to crimp into. Would it be ok to shoot uncrimped rounds in an AR15? Tony

I was poking around on Fleabay and found that there's a bunch of AR15 parts there but since Fleabay is nutso about gun stuff none of them have AR15 in the title. Anyway I bought a free floated 15.5 inch hand guard with barrel nut for 38 bucks. It's supposed to be here Friday and I'll post...

Since I started my AR15 project I've been making a list of parts I want but some have me a bit baffled. I see a lot of different bolt carrier groups with a wide difference in prices and finishes. Unfortunately I'm clueless about what brands and finishes are good quality and others not so much...

I previously posted about my trials with the bolt catch pin and that was as far as I could get then. The parts kit I had ordered didn't include the grip or trigger parts. Midway had a more complete kit on sale, so I jumped on it. I'm past the end of my gun budget for at least a few month so...

Is there a trick to installing this pin without marring the lower receiver? I managed to get it installed on my first lower receiver but I put 3 tiny scuffs in the finish. I'm planning to leave the other receiver in the package until I've finished the first rifle but I'd like to know well...

I sent my Ruger 77/22 Hornet that had been rechambered to .22 K-Hornet out to get the chamber recut (brass was extracting hard.) My gunsmith called me today to say the chamber was so out of round that it would have to be set back almost an inch to fix it and there's not enough meat there to do...

I bought a 3/4HP bench grinder with a polishing wheel on one side from Harbor Freight to do some gun polishing. However it shakes like crazy and I wasn't able to get much done because I though it was going to shake everything off my bench. Could it be that the wheel is out of balance? I took...

I ordered 2 Anderson AR15 lower receivers today from a local gun dealer. I should have them around the first week of January... Thanks for all the advise and I'm sure I'll be back with more questions... Tony

I'm trying to help a friend with his Savage 110. The Front trigger guard screws is stripped out an missing. The trigger guard is cracked around the hole for the front screw. He doens't have much money right now so I'm trying to do this for the lowest cost. I think I can repair the trigger...

I've seen ATI and one or 2 other imported AR15's for cheap prices on GrabAgun and other sites. Are these a bargain, junk or something in between? Tony

I see these on fleabay for 50 bucks and I'm thinking they seem to be too good to be true. Anybody here have any experience with them? Tony
