This is a long story that I will try to make short. Last week I opened a brand new 8lb jug of IMR 4064 to make up some 7.5x53.5 rounds. Using Federal large rifle primers I made up some rounds and went to the range. *click*. Nothing Today I made up some new ones using CCI 34 primers. Still...

Well I was at the LGS today and accidentally bought a Ljungman AG-42B. $999 with a bayonet. I certainly couldn't turn that down. I guess I got one of the few that never had a stock disk. It is also missing or never had the buffer/deflector, although the mounts for it are present. I got...

Hey, I just bought a stripped Aero M5 upper and lower. I have read that the PSA Gen3 upper does not fit the Aero M5 lower. Could I buy a complete PSA Gen 3 upper and just switch it out with the stripped Aero upper receiver?

Hey, reloading noob here. I’ve been reloading for a whole month now. :p Anyway, I’ve been reloading .223 using Hornady 55gr FMJ and Reloader 7 powder. I chose that powder just based on what the shop had in stock. I’ve been slowly increasing the load to get reliability in ARs. I’m up to...

Hey, I got a 1903 today. Receiver and barrel date to 1930. Scant stock with no markings except a few small stamps forward of the floor plate. The floor plate itself has a crossed key stamp on it. That's not original, is it? Any ideas where it came from? Thanks...

OK, this is a little weird, but I had a vivid dream the other day about a rifle and just had to post about it. In the dream I was in a new Gun Shop that I had never been in before. While perusing the rifle rack one in particular caught my eye. It was a three-barrel rifle, with the barrels...

Hi, I'm finally going to be doing an Appleseed shoot in August. I've been meaning to do one for years. After reading as much as I can about them and the best rifles to bring, I've learned that you ideally want a .22 that is: 1. Semi-auto 2. Has peep sights 3. Mag-fed (although tube fed would...

I've been wanting to get a Spike's Tactical .22 conversion upper for my M16, but I've been having trouble finding Pre-Ban 30 round mags. I need Pre-Ban as I still live in MA. :barf: I know the old Ceiner mags will work, but have not been able to find anyone selling more than 1 at a time, and...

My father has an old Colt, that according to family legend, belonged to the Color Sergeant of The Rough Riders. I am trying to find any evidence that may support this dubious claim. I will describe the gun, and would appreciate any info you may have for me. It is a Colt, SN 198, xxx. (I...

Finally bought a Garand a couple of weeks ago at a small gun shop. Can't wait to shoot it, but the weather has not been cooperative. Anyway, a few questions: How do I tell if it's a Danish Garand? I tried searching here and some M1 sites, but have not found info about Danish markings...

Do you think that the sniper situation is affecting the liklihood of the 2004 Sunset? I don't think we had much chance to begin with, but I think we don't have a snowball's chance now. :mad:

Sorry, no photos. Unfortunately nobody had a camera with them. Anyway, it was a Glock 21. He was shooting his own reloads, with cast lead bullets. I do not know the load specs. He said he had cleaned the gun very well the other day, and this happened on about the 8th round through the gun...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I did a quick search and did not find it. Anyway, if you have a scope with a variable range setting from 50- 300 yards (or whatever). In theory, you should be able to adjust the scope for said distance and hit the target. The caliber of your rifle is...

Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but the search function is down at the moment. Anyway, I have a *&* 686 that I like well enough, except for the stock wooden grips. I despise them. :barf: What are the best brand of rubber grips to fit it? I would like the kind with a groove...

Is the M14/M1A the oldest military .308 or were there others before them?

Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but I tried searching and could not come up with it. I think the answer to my questions is NO, but would like to be sure. Anyway, is there a legal way to do a pivate party transfer of handguns in MA without going through an FFL? How about long guns? If it is...

Just got some used pins from a local alley. I've never shot pins before and thought it might be fun, but I have some general questions: 1. I've heard that .45 is the best caliber to use, that 9mm does not reliably remove the pins from the table. Is this true? What about .357/.38spl? I would...

Going to be moving back to MA soon :( Anyway, is it legal to purchse a gun and have it shipped to an FFL in MA, if it is not a MA "legal" gun. Right now there are about 2 different guns you can buy new there. Does it matter if the gun is new or used?

If you are just starting a new load, how many "experimental rounds" do you crank out? You don't want to make 1000 rounds of a load that may not work well. So how many do y'all make to test out? 10, 50, 100? I suppose the cost of each is a factor (as well as how different it is from other...
