I understand IN has a 'lifetime' resident permit which allows concealed and open carry. Does my KY permit allow OC in Indiana? I rarely OC any more, just wondering.

I have an embarrassing question about my M&P Sport. Very little of this gun sees any carbon buildup, except for the 'Hershey's kiss' shaped part of the bolt, and the chamber it sits in. Is there a specialized brush to scrape the junk out of the chamber? What is the best way to get it off...

Gun show time again. I usually steer clear so my wallet doesn't scream for mercy but I'd like to get some bulk powder for my AR. There's usually a vendor that sells 4-8lb jugs of generically labeled powder. I've seen a few military/surplus types mentioned on the board, but could someone give...

I know very little about SA revolvers, just that he likes the 'birds head' grip style for some reason. Big western fan. I'd like to get him something in 45 Colt, probably short-ish barrel so he can hold it up better. Just turned 65 this year. I don't suppose there's anything built well for...

Yikes. Gentleman was renting an M1 carbine from the range store and the 15th round of PMC blew off the base sending unburned powder into his face. He came into the store a bloody mess.:eek: Fortunately he was wearing safety glasses and the 'freckles' were just superficial. Scary to witness...

So far my S&W has seen 1000 down the pipe, most being H335 and the rest 4064. 335 is pretty harsh on the action. I'm sure it belts out pretty good velocity, but I find 4064 to be quite a bit milder at the 26gr max charge (compressed load), so I'll probably stick with that. Plus I can also use...

1000 rounds through my M&P so far, three 'jams' for lack of a better term. Basically I'll be slow firing through a mag and the trigger won't pull. With a bit of force I can pull on the charging handle to pull out the malf round, which is bent slightly and has severe scrape marks on the case...

Congratulations Wisconsin. Bill goes to the governor's desk and it becomes law. I know you guys have been working on this for many years.

Dad asked me if I could look for a bolt for his Winchester model 67(?) single shot. Apparently these are in high demand as a guy offered his for $800. Any help would be appreciated.

I was at a hospital earlier today and they have a 'support our troops' tree. Next to it was this banner. I did a double take when I saw it and had to snap a pic.

I bought a Lee 223 trimmer and it really only runs it down to 1.76". Any problems with this? My AR doesn't seem to mind.

I loaded about 400 rounds of 223 the past couple days and finally got a chance to sling them downrange today. All brass is range pick-up...the usual prep/trim done. No factory ammo put through it, and don't intend to unless I'm desperate. As this is my first AR, I don't know how to compare...

Just curious. The Russians had their intermediate cartridge for years before the AR came out. The US had the massive 30-06, shrunk it a bit to 308 then...55gr bullet? Why didn't they use the same AR platform but go with something like a 90gr? I understand they were trying to save weight...

I was wondering when this would happen. Loaded about 800 so far for my Garand with no issues, but yesterday I had a double tap. I may switch to a harder primer than CCI LR, although I suspect the primer was a bit higher than it should have been. I have to say, this thing ripped off that...

Can someone explain the process? My Google-fu is on vacation today.:p

What is the other sling swivel toward the front of the barrel for?

I have a 1945 SA CMP Garand that I got last May. So far it's had about 700 rounds through it. Will it hurt anything to put so many downrange? Love shooting it, but hate to think I may be wearing it out.

90% of the time I go to the range by myself but usually end up talking with someone. Couple tables down from me was a gentleman and his wife shooting a target-sighted 38 Special. Both were having trouble hitting a 6" target at 10 yards, but I didn't say anything, just kept plinking my steel at...

I just bought the 223 Pacesetter three die set last night and decapped about 400 cases. The case neck shows a shallow but noticeable furrow in the brass which I can feel with a fingernail. I took it apart, can't see or feel anything using a flashlight and pick. Before I give Lee a call on...

Will these need to be reamed/swaged out so the primer can seat properly? If so, is there a more efficient way of doing it besides the little Lyman hand reamer or the $$$ swaging press?
